[b][u]Isle or Auradon:[/u][/b] Isle of the Lost

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Hal is known to be able to go from cool as ice to hellish fury in the blink of an eye. Apparently it runs in the family. like his double-dealing father, Hal has a self-proclaimed talent for having a silver tongue. But for all his supposed wickedness, there's still enough of his mother in him to nag at the back of his mind and keep him from crossing certain lines. If Hades is the little devil on one shoulder, then Persephone is the angel standing on the other. With a silver tongue comes a certain craving for games of chance. Dice, cards, Hal can play them all. An old saying warns that one should never make a deal with Hades, well one could make a similar warning about gambling against Hal. Anyone who does will more often than not find the deck to be heavily stacked against them. Hal is also popularly believed to be some kind of pyromaniac, blamed for most fires that break out in his area. Even the ones he didn't actually start himself.

[u][b]Brief Bio:[/b][/u] Hal never really got to know his father much until recently. Given his status as a god, Hades had to be dealt with in more unique way compared to his contemporaries. Rather than merely banishing him to the Isle, the King apparently made some kind of deal with Zeus to have the entrance of the Underworld moved to the Isle as well. This allows Hades to continue governing the Underworld while still technically being locked behind the barrier of the Isle. Hal didn't always live on the Isle. In fact he used to live in Auradon with his mother. But one day when he was 14, he was blamed for a fire that broke out at Auradon Prep and was shipped off to the Isle to live with his father.

Despite his villainy, Hades was a surprisingly "cool" dad. He taught Hal how to better control the fire he'd been summoning at his fingertips. Now any fires that Hal starts are perfectly calculated and under his control. When Cerberus gave birth to a litter of pups, Hal was allowed to keep one of them for himself. He named it Rex, and it's been his constant companion ever since. Lastly, Hades taught Hal the "Art of the Deal". How to say exactly what people think they want to hear in order to sucker them into an unwanted deal. That's not to say Hal took completely after his old man. He gained a love for games and gambling completely on his own. It just so happened that he was able to use what he learned from Hades to rig the games to his advantage.

While Hal [i]could[/i] spend his time hanging around in Underworld and learning the family business, he finds that to be rather boring. While the Isle may be limited, at least there were more people to talk to that weren't just screaming souls or something. Though even when he's pounding the pavement, Hal is almost never without Rex following close behind. Another companion who occasionally accompanies him is Styggs the Ferryman. The River Styx hasn't properly been used in a long time and so Styggs has often found himself performing butler-like duties for Hades or Hal.

[u][b]Other:[/b][/u] As stated, Hal can conjure fire right from his fingertips. It's not as powerful or destructive as his father's, but they're great for putting on a show and making threats. Having a scary-looking three-headed Hellhound at your command is also very helpful in those regards.[/hider]
