Zeus Children

| Cecily Aglaia Merrick {☯} |

"Cecily definitely gets it. She is another child of someone larger than life, larger still than most of the gods."

Cecily, she’s definitely had a different life than me. I, it’s not there. What I was looking for when I first met her isn’t there. I was looking for the part of me that winces when someone says combat, when they insinuate that powers might come into play. It seems she has a much larger amount of control, which is really great. I feel happy for her. Really I do.

Hades Children

| Vanessa Charlotte Casey {☯} |
"Another child of the big three. I guess I should get to know her."

She seems sad, though I think it’s unrelated to her power as a daughter of Hades. Even her relationship with Hades seems to be alright, which I should feel happy for her about. I just don’t understand how Hades the god of the underworld and death could possibly have a better relationship with his daughter than Poseidon. Is the sea really that vast?

Hera Children

| Avery J Stratton {☯} |
"Avery is definitely a handful in every sense of the word. She can be nice if she wants to, but mostly she seems to care less about being nice to people than making sure everyone else thinks she is nice."

She’s like one of those girls from the movies. You know you’re watching a drama so when she strolls into frame smoking a cigarette and giving some lucky guy the fuck me eyes you know that she has a pretty messed up past. Hopefully it’s not too bad though, I’m sure with all that confidence it can’t be as bad as it is in the movies anyway. At least she looks good doing her thing.

Ares Children

| Jonas Highwind {⚜} |
"Jonas is the tallest person I know. I feel like existing in a similar space as him is the most practical defense from any mean people in this school I could hope for."

There’s a certain stigma around children of Ares, that they’re idiots stuff like that. I don’t know why but Jonas seems like e was cut from a cloth that was intent on disproving that. I mean, he isn’t a child of Hera or something like that – but the man is smart and anyone who pretends he isn’t is doing just that. Pretending. I like Jonas, but I doubt I’m strong enough in my current state to impress him without leveling the state.

| Harada Danaye {⚜} |
"Dana is really polite, and I’ve actually hung out with her so I’m making some progress!"

Dana came up to me one day and complimented my top, once we got talking about some of my other clothes she took me to a mall and we went shopping. Not much was said and we don’t have any plans to hangout again but it felt nice. It felt so normal – I’m really not so used to normal. Maybe next time I’ll have to approach her? I haven’t really made up my mind I suppose.

Athena Children

| Webster O’Connor {☯} |
"He seems pretty sure of himself, I’d say it’s a little more than confidence, but I guess what really matters isn’t the arrogance itself but the forgery in which it was crafted."

There isn’t much to say about Webster, he’s a smart kid and that’s about all there is to him. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of personality, I mean he’s nice, kind, but it feels like he’s holding parts of himself back in any conversation. I don’t distrust him as much as I don’t get him to be honest. Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing, I should be used to hidden depths by now but I guess I’m not. I made an ocean pun by accident. Dammit.

| Rebekah Anne Cross {☯} |
"Rebekah is cool, I keep my distance because I think she prefers it that way but it’s not uncommon that I’ll catch her looking my way."

I think she might actually know about Lake Louise. If anyone was going to tie me to it it’d be her and I think the signs are starting to become too clear. I haven’t exhibited any noticeable power – especially as a child of Poseidon. I fear a daughter of Athena would definitely be the one to make the connection of natural disaster and Poseidon or his children. I don’t really know what to do but smile at her when I catch her eye line.

Aphrodite Children

| Skye Zachary Woodsen {☯} |
"He’s a flirt, usually I find that sort of thing enticing but I fear the thrill of the hunt will be lost on this one."

He’s a little loud mouthed. Likes to jump into arguments or at least participate in them. I’m sure he’s nice and he seems fairly loyal but I don’t think I could ever be interesting enough to hold a conversation with him. Personally I think the son of Aphrodite might need to do a little learning when it comes to love.

Apollo Children

| Dallas Relo {⚜} |
"Dallas is my dream. To be that carefree, that happy and balance your life with the lives and jokes of those around you, it’s – it’s really nice."

Dallas is nice to be around. Sure he’s kind of a carefree spirit and he says things he probably shouldn’t, but you forget about all the serious shit and just live for a little. It’s nice having him around and I appreciate him being there more than he realizes, even though we’ve barely met. Hopefully he can become a friend of mine one day. I find myself saying that a lot nowadays, it’s kind of embarrassing. If Dallas heard that he’d probably make some joke about cheering up though, so I think I’ll follow that advice.

| Marina Dixon {☯} |
"Marina is really popular, but that’s no surprise. She’s stunning and she’s a daughter of Apollo I don’t think there’s much more you could throw onto that to make popular."

Marina is really nice! She always says hi to nearly half the people she sees in the hallway or anywhere else and because of that I think she’s probably got a lot of friends. I guess I don’t really know anything about her though, and she doesn’t know anything about me. But I guess that’s just how it is these days. It’s for the best really.

Dionysus Children

| Dustyn Taylor Flint {☯} |
"She’s pretty, and she seems nice which is a nice departing from most of the girls in my hometown. Maybe we can be friends one day."

I haven’t really spoken to Dustyn all that much but she seems to have a fairly clear outlook on life. Do what I want or it isn’t worth doing at all. I wish I could follow something like that – I really do, but it’s just not likely for someone like me. She seems to be having a good time in life though. Hopefully she appreciates that. The lack of chains binding her to a reasonable floor.

| Adachihara Kazuma {☯} |
"Kaz is the most passionate person I have ever met, and I even met a child of Nike once!"

I haven’t spoken to him much but I don’t think you’d need to speak to Kaz to realize what he’s about. Hopefully one day I can capture the honour I see in him, but either way I’d like to work with him. Word on the streets is that Kaz is one of the stronger demigods. Dionysus must be thrilled. I guess if I want to be friends I should go talk to him sometime – but he’s intimidating.

This is nearly done but I'll probably just finish it when it comes closer to RP launch. Lots of newer CSes are missing too but that's alright! Anyway feel free to tell me about how I got your character wrong or something like that!

Personal Information

Name:
Peter James McMillan

Nickname:
Not optional.

Birth Date:
4th March

Age:
21

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
He claims to be hetreosexual, however, he will flirt with anyone and anything

---

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
standing at 5'10" Peter is hot or, at least, he likes to think so. With a well-toned body he finds a lot to brag about. Every part of him seems to warn of trouble. His hair is dark brown colour that's often mistaken for black and covered in way too much hair gel, he's very proud of his hair and won't let anyone touch it. His fair skin seems unblemished, however it wasn't so as a teen, and his face is clean-shaven, Peter makes sure of that. His eyes are a chocolate brown and seem to always possess a twinkle that says he's causing trouble. His lips are a pale pink and seems to alway possess a smirk or a coy smile even if the don't actually physically.

Clothing Style:
Petere tends to wear quite casual clothes, jeans or shorts and sneakers (he need the right shoes for running away). Though as far as shirts go it's hard to judge what he'll. One day it might a casual top of a calmer colour then the next day he might bound around in a brightly coloured Hawaiian shirt. In formal situations Peter is one who's totally turn up in golden or purple or patterned suit. Even though his clothing is casual it's not odd for him to walk around Olympus Academy in something completely out there. He wears a silver chain around his neck and has a thing for his black rimmed gasses with no lenses.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

• Farts still amuse him
• his hands have to be consistently doing something
• He can stay up late into the night but no matter if he feel asleep and 7pm or 4am it's a struggle to get him up before 9am
• As he talks he gestures wildly with his hands
• drums on his legs when he's trying to recall something or other

Likes:
At least five

• Pranks and pranking
• Himself, he has a massive ego that will not be compromised
• Donuts
• like-minded people
• Flirting
• Partying

Dislikes:

• Authoritative people, 'party-poopers' and 'spoil sports'
• Spiders, they scare the crap outta him
• people messing with his hair
• anyone or anything that attempts to derive him of sleep
• pimples

Fears:

• Spiders
• The day his bofmdy will be old and frail and not in it's 'current gorgeous glory' (yes, he's that full of it)
• Starvation

Personality:

♦ Jokester ♦ Childish ♦ Vain ♦ exuberant

Technically Peter is 21 but mentally? He's a 5 year old. Fart jokes, terrible childish comebacks and a distaste for 'spoil sports' Peter might as well be a child. A child who has the knowledge to create and pull off pranks and, possibly most dangerously, has an access to liquor. Peter seems to find everything funny regardless on whether he still should or not. He is very childish and can rarely rise to acting his age, whether he be in classes, in casual settings, getting a talking to from Mr D or whatever there's no doubt that he's probably still not acting his age. Even at 21 he's still a class clown.

Peter is exuberant. Loud and wild he never seems to not have that cheeky grin on his face except when he's laughing. He's a lot of fun to be around but a little difficult to handle. His ego makes it no easier either. Peter's ego is sky-high. He is very full of himself and will often comment on his body or 'amazing personality'. It's aspect he shares with the males of the Aphrodite cabin, wven if they aren't technically related, he even greatly fear disfigurement.

Much like many Hermes' kids Peter is a prankster. He considers himself prankmaster of camp half-blood and has pulled off countless pranksover his years at camp half-blood and almost everyone has become a victim. When making pranks Peter takes in very little consideration in the effect thwy'd have on others, as long as he's amused he sees no problem.

Background:
Taylor McMillan was only 17 when she fell pregnant after a Summer fling, unbeknownst to her that her Summer romance was with the god Hermes himself. Scared, ridiculed and neither willing or ready to care for a child she quickly found a couple to adopt her unborn son. Peter's adoptive parents were always straight-up about Peter's adoption, they didn't look like him anything like him anyway, but still, to this day, claim the day they first held him was the best day of their lives.

Even though he never knew his real mother Peter lived quite a happy childhood. Although it wasn't a luxurious life the family of three lived happily and more than enough of their needs covered. Most importantly of all they were able to invest a lot of time in each other. Even though he doesn't see them often anymore Peter still considers his parents his best friends.

It took Hermes weeks to convince Peter's parents to get him Olympus Academy. Even though he had proved that he was Peter's father what sort of man leaves his son for 16 years then waltzes in telling his parents how to raise him. Eventually they figured it was the best place for their son and, with heavy hearts, let him go.

Extra:
Athena... or Artemis

Godly Information

Godly Parent:
Hermes

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Hermes and Peter get on famously. Even though Hermes does have to send him warnings through abstract god communication but, in the few times they have met, the pair are often laughing over stories. Peter doesn't seem to hold any beef against his father for his lack of appearance in his life.

Godly Abilities:
Peter can sense and magically pick almost any lock, leaves him a great advantage when he's prank, whether in the process if it or trying to escape the angry victim.
Cunning: Don't take that childishness for stupidity, although he may not be achievable academically he's very sly and cunning.

Personal Information

Name:
Darius Johnson Bresailler

Nickname:
Dare, Breller, John

Birth Date:
February 25th

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Straight

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Darius is an interesting chap. He's standing at a slightly above average 6 foot 1 inches, with his hair bumping him up another inch. In addition, his general body build is narrow and wiry- not as narrow as some, but still wiry. He doesn't necessarily look strong, though he has little fat at the moment and mainly just muscle mass. His shoulders are somewhat narrow- more so than the average male- and he has a sharper appearance.

Specifically, he has brown, oft-colored hair, and rather normal hazel eyes (even if they do have little flecks of red in them). His hands and feet are about the average size for a guy his age, though his fingers are a little longer and narrower. He also has a bit of facial hair, more of a fading thick stubble along his jawline, and a bit of a mustache that connects with his scratchy short beard.

Clothing Style:
A casual formal, or whatever it is. He likes his collared shirts, he likes his trenchcoats, and he likes his jeans. You'll rarely see him in something besides this- he'll even show up to running practice in a collared shirt. Granted, it's a sports shirt with a collar, but it's still a collar. He'll occasionally flick the collar all the way up and glare at someone, for dramatic effect. Normal running shoes cut it for him, though he has a pair of military boots for those things that normal shoes shouldn't handle.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

• Messes with his hair when nervous
• Fixes his hair when nervous
• Starts humming, and beats the tip of his index finger against the bottom of his thumb to whatever tune it he's got in his head
• Has a natural scowl on his face, except for when he's humming.
• Keeps a list of people he doesn't like on a small flippable notepad, which he keeps with him all the time. Updates regularly.
• Doodles in his notepad as well
• Always watches the sunrise and the sunset. Always.

Likes:

• Trains
• Explosions
• Fountains
• Pretty views and sunsets/sunrises
• Revenge, served cold.
• Snakes. He has one, actually. A very special one named Fidi.
• Nature spirits, such as dryads or naiads. They raised him; he has a soft spot for them.

Dislikes:

• Rabbits. And rats. And mice. He absolutely hates the furry little creatures.
• Midday. It always puts him in a bad mood.
• Stupid things. Whether it's someone being stupid, someone that's actually stupid, a stupid thought, stupid suggestion, anything. If it's stupid, he really dislikes it.
• Devil's advocate. He hates the people who are arguing against something already planned- such as someone arguing against an unknown item being a certain object, when there are no other reasonable possibilities.
• Audiobooks. Absolutely hates the damn things.

Fears:

• Being sent to the Fields of Punishment- not death, but at failing to reach Elysium.
• Betrayal by someone trusted
• Geese. He is absolutely terrified of Canadian Geese. One attacked him as a child, and while he actually killed the damned thing, he's been afraid of them ever since.

Personality:

♦ Vengeful ♦ Wary ♦ Determined ♦ Thoughtful

Believe it or not, Darius, as a son of a rather old-fashioned man and Nemesis, is quite the vengeful soul. Cross him, and you will likely find spiders in your bed. Maybe even a black widow. He doesn't appear to have grudges- in fact, after crossing him, you might find that he's just chill with it and it never happened- and yet, you will most definitely find dog crap in your chocolate ice cream. He keeps a list. Speaking generally, he keeps tabs on the severity of one's transgressions against them, and responds accordingly, and he is very, very patient. A year after he has been crossed, people have been revenged upon. So it is, with Darius.

Other than his vengeful, never-forget side, he's a wary guy. He sees everyone as both a possible friend, and a possible enemy. He knows that anyone can go any way, based on one's behavior. Despite this, he isn't an outgoing guy- his goal isn't to make as many friends and allies as possible. He is the son of the goddess of revenge- few people ever manage to get revenge on the guy who is literally a partial representation of revenge. He keeps an eye out on his six, he checks around corners and the ceilings before fully walking into a room. Slightly paranoid, he is. More than that, he's very slow to open up, unless he feels particularly good about someone. Again- he doesn't want to find that a friend is actually an enemy.

Beyond this, he is determined. If he wants revenge- he will likely get it, whether in a minute, or in a decade. Onwards with this, he's also one of the better swordsmen and runners in camp, simply because he doesn't stop training. Every morning, he's running. Every afternoon, he's swinging a sword. Some wonder how he can keep up with schoolwork; he spends a good bit of time doing that too. So it is. Any time he's not working on his speed, stamina, or swordsmanship, you might see him with a couple of his friends, strolling about, practicing archery (they're not that great), and discussing random topics.

In addition to the rest of this, Darius is very thoughtful and intelligent. He takes words to heart and thinks them through, through many possibilities and reasons and more. He sees the stars and knows that there are actually suns way out there, and that they can also be created by the gods- which has given him many a headache. He sees both the reason and the magic in a great many things, even in anger and hate.

However, if he has a soft spot for something- something he cares about and truly doesn't want to harm, he will most likely not harm it. He'll get revenge some other way- but not without real distress, real harm. For example, there's a dryad that enjoys tricking him, playing with him, every time he comes near the forest- and he's never begrudged the dryad her fun.

Background:
There's little he'll admit about his life before Olympus, but here's what's gotten out anyhow, for anyone who digs around enough and puts all the pieces together.

Darius lived with a somewhat... unstable father on the outskirts of a mid-sized town, on the shore of a nice, pretty lake. From the very start, Darius wandered around with naiads and dryads- they were surprised by his awareness of them, but they acted as a mother to the lad in his real mother's absence. His father wasn't the best man, but he did care, and he took care of his kid, when he wasn't "wondering among the nature." The man actually knew who it was who conceived his child, and it was from that he became a little unstable.

So with a kind but... messy father, and a multitude of sweet-faced nature spirits as his parental figures, he grew up. He saw that the grass both grew because of the nutrients and water, and because the dryads' presence infused it with strength. He learned from going to plain old school in town that kids can be nice, can be mean- they're just looking out for themselves, and many times, being mean was how it was done. So while he was home, he was sweet. And while he was at school, he ruled. Nemesis came out quite strong, during school hours. No one wanted to cross him- but when no one crossed him, everything was well and good.

This did not last. Eventually, monsters began sniffing his presence. The lake that he resided at was such a hotspot for nature spirits that most monsters never got close- they were destroyed by the nature spirits, or simply led in circles until they left. Until, of course, a monster didn't.

It was then that a satyr was called in. Just as the monsters had difficulty sniffing out the demigod, so did the satyr- but the nature spirits were on his side, so he found him well enough. It was at this time that Darius was fifteen or sixteen- unusually old for a demigod to be out in the world. His father somehow kept their land, the dryads and naiads still took care of them, but he had to leave. He was preparing for college, so it wasn't too terribly much of a surprise, but it was still far sooner than he expected. Either way- he left with a monster on his heels, a satyr leading the way.

Fifteen days later, he was introduced to the camp.

And he's been there ever since. No tragic backstory, nothing particularly dramatic. Just that he had been raised by nature spirits and a shaken mortal.

Extra: The proud owner of- yes, you got it!- a ball python! He picked it up just a year earlier, and he loves his ball python to death- who is aptly named Fidi, for the Greek word of Serpent/Snake. Fidi is a three-foot-long nonvenomous python which can often be seen curled around Darius's neck, wrists, or occasionally bedpost. He has his own glass home on Darius's nightstand.

Godly Information

Godly Parent: Nemesis

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Relatively nonexistent. Where it does 'exist', it's simply on a friendly basis. Darius has never felt wronged by his mother, and Nemesis has no reason to particularly dislike her son- so when they interact, they're just fine with each other. Nemesis found him a place to be raised, after all- Vengeful she may be, caring she was also. Darius understood this, and was fine with it. They're less like mother/son and more like friendly acquaintances, if such a thing with a goddess is possible.

Darius is wary of her, though. She is still the goddess of revenge.

Godly Abilities:
Darius is naturally wary, and an ability that assists him is a sense of anyone who is planning on getting revenge or vengeance- if someone is sneaking around at night with the intent to dump a bucket of dyed water all over one's floor, Darius is probably awake and roughly aware of where they are.

In addition to this, Darius also has the natural, passive ability of knowing a grudge when it's talked about. If he hears Person A talking about Person B, no matter the tone, Darius is likely able to tell if Person A has a grudge against Person B, intuitively.

Granted, all this really does is give Darius a little edge if he wants to manipulate someone, or be aware of grudges against himself. Maybe not as useful as lightning or summoning a watery trident, but having a sort of radar and grudge-detector can be handy.

Onwards with this, he's also one of the better swordsmen and runners in camp, simply because he doesn't stop training. Every morning, he's running. Every afternoon, he's swinging a sword. Some wonder how he can keep up with schoolwork; he spends a good bit of time doing that too. So it is. Any time he's not working on his speed, stamina, or swordsmanship, you might see him with a couple of his friends, strolling about, practicing archery (they're not that great), and discussing random topics.

In addition to the rest of this, Darius is very thoughtful and intelligent. He takes words to heart and thinks them through, through many possibilities and reasons and more. He sees the stars and knows that there are actually suns way out there, and that they can also be created by the gods- which has given him many a headache. He sees both the reason and the magic in a great many things, even in anger and hate.

However, if he has a soft spot for something- something he cares about and truly doesn't want to harm, he will most likely not harm it. He'll get revenge some other way- but not without real distress, real harm. For example, there's a dryad that enjoys tricking him, playing with him, every time he comes near the forest- and he's never begrudged the dryad her fun.

Background:
There's little he'll admit about his life before Olympus, but here's what's gotten out anyhow, for anyone who digs around enough and puts all the pieces together.

Darius lived with a somewhat... unstable father on the outskirts of a mid-sized town, on the shore of a nice, pretty lake. From the very start, Darius wandered around with naiads and dryads- they were surprised by his awareness of them, but they acted as a mother to the lad in his real mother's absence. His father wasn't the best man, but he did care, and he took care of his kid, when he wasn't "wondering among the nature." The man actually knew who it was who conceived his child, and it was from that he became a little unstable.

So with a kind but... messy father, and a multitude of sweet-faced nature spirits as his parental figures, he grew up. He saw that the grass both grew because of the nutrients and water, and because the dryads' presence infused it with strength. He learned from going to plain old school in town that kids can be nice, can be mean- they're just looking out for themselves, and many times, being mean was how it was done. So while he was home, he was sweet. And while he was at school, he ruled. Nemesis came out quite strong, during school hours. No one wanted to cross him- but when no one crossed him, everything was well and good.

This did not last. Eventually, monsters began sniffing his presence. The lake that he resided at was such a hotspot for nature spirits that most monsters never got close- they were destroyed by the nature spirits, or simply led in circles until they left. Until, of course, a monster didn't.

It was then that a satyr was called in. Just as the monsters had difficulty sniffing out the demigod, so did the satyr- but the nature spirits were on his side, so he found him well enough. It was at this time that Darius was fifteen or sixteen- unusually old for a demigod to be out in the world. His father somehow kept their land, the dryads and naiads still took care of them, but he had to leave. He was preparing for college, so it wasn't too terribly much of a surprise, but it was still far sooner than he expected. Either way- he left with a monster on his heels, a satyr leading the way.

Fifteen days later, he was introduced to the camp.

And he's been there ever since. No tragic backstory, nothing particularly dramatic. Just that he had been raised by nature spirits and a shaken mortal.

Extra: The proud owner of- yes, you got it!- a ball python! He picked it up just a year earlier, and he loves his ball python to death- who is aptly named Fidi, for the Greek word of Serpent/Snake. Fidi is a three-foot-long nonvenomous python which can often be seen curled around Darius's neck, wrists, or occasionally bedpost. He has his own glass home on Darius's nightstand.

Godly Information

Godly Parent: Nemesis

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Relatively nonexistent. Where it does 'exist', it's simply on a friendly basis. Darius has never felt wronged by his mother, and Nemesis has no reason to particularly dislike her son- so when they interact, they're just fine with each other. Nemesis found him a place to be raised, after all- Vengeful she may be, caring she was also. Darius understood this, and was fine with it. They're less like mother/son and more like friendly acquaintances, if such a thing with a goddess is possible.

Darius is wary of her, though. She is still the goddess of revenge.

Godly Abilities:
Darius is naturally wary, and an ability that assists him is a sense of anyone who is planning on getting revenge or vengeance- if someone is sneaking around at night with the intent to dump a bucket of dyed water all over one's floor, Darius is probably awake and roughly aware of where they are.

In addition to this, Darius also has the natural, passive ability of knowing a grudge when it's talked about. If he hears Person A talking about Person B, no matter the tone, Darius is likely able to tell if Person A has a grudge against Person B, intuitively.

Granted, all this really does is give Darius a little edge if he wants to manipulate someone, or be aware of grudges against himself. Maybe not as useful as lightning or summoning a watery trident, but having a sort of radar and grudge-detector can be handy.

Um, yeah, so thing is man, Nemesis isn't one of the gods/goddesses you can use as your character's Godly Parent...
