Hiee! I've been looking at the thread for a bit, but didn't get the guts to post my cs until it was finished! I made a female Athena student, if that's okay?
Name:
Alex Amity Hannelore
Nickname:Quizmistress
Birth Date: July Fourth, Nineteen Eighty-Seven
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual
In Depth Appearance:
To the woefully ignorant, Alex Hannelore is a man. Should one look even a bit closer, they will almost immediately notice that Alex is in fact a woman, who just so happens to look masculine. With short hair, a small array of minor facial scars, and a strong build, Alex certainly fits the bill for a "mannish" woman, and hates herself for it. Oftentimes, Alex will attempt to make herself look more feminine with large amounts of foundation and eyeliner... failing in the process. When not in the full swing of her powers, Alex Hannelore's body language reads rather timid-- her insecurities are brought out in full bloom when there is nothing to distract people from her true appearance. When her powers are fully active, she develops an elegant sort of handsomeness, where masculinity and femininity seamlessly blend together into an impossibly-pleasing form.

Personality:
Alex hides her insecurity under a thick veneer of showmanship and charisma. With an endless array of jokes and smalltalk, Alex puts on airs of being an entertainer-- and allows no dissent on the matter. When given a chance to fully express her inner feelings, Alex grows brusque and emotional, and often refuses to let her partners get a word in edgewise.
Background:
Born in the bustling metropolis of Hoboken to what appeared to be a pair of mortal parents, Alex spent most of her childhood uneventfully, playing games with her friends and watching game shows. Her greatest friends at elementary school were a boy and a girl around her age named Theodore and Lucille, respectively. Theodore greatly enjoyed playing soccer and playing with LEGOs, while Lucille enjoyed whatever Theodore and Alex enjoyed. Together, they were the best of friends. Indeed, they spent almost their entire childhoods together, through middle school and high school. It was only when Alex was selected to go to Olympus Academy and told the truth of her heritage that the three were separated.
Alex, as it turned out, was the daughter of an ancient goddess. One of insurmountable intelligence and creativity. One of profound puzzles and conundrums. A mighty goddess, born not from a womb, but from the very mind of a being. Indeed, Aporia was quite a goddess, and it was Aporia that Alex was born under. The news of this struck Alex like a brick with a note wrapped around it, and her life changed forever. Unceremoniously, Alex was shuttled to the mysterious locale of Olympus Academy, leaving her friends alone alongside the grosses of other people who knew of Olympus's existence. With some trepidation, Alex was admitted into the open arms of the Athenian representatives, and attempted to begin her life anew.
Extra:My favorite god is Porus.
Godly Parent: Athena
Relationship With Godly Parent:Alex is very close to her mother, considering the relative rarity of people like her. With a strange gusto, Alex's mother bestowed the full breadth of Alex's powers unto her as soon as possible, and commanded her to learn how to use them by her own. Perhaps Alex's mother helps her every day, but no one can see or feel it? Only her mother knows, and she isn't telling.
Godly Abilities:
"I'll tell you one thing, in what I do for a living, there's no substitute for experience. I don't care how much natural talent you may have... In the type of show I do, you can depend on surprises." -Harriet Tubman

Clothing Style:
Alex Hannelore dresses conservatively and shabbily at all times. She dresses in simple, comfortable t-shirts, jeans, and jackets. By some sick twist of fate, the ones Alex buys are, as it turns out, men's clothes. When fully-powered, Alex magically changes into a gorgeous red-and-black-and-gold pantsuit, with uncomfortable amounts of sequins and colorful highlights.

Godly Information
Godly Parent: Athena
Relationship With Godly Parent:Alex is very close to her mother, considering the relative rarity of people like her. With a strange gusto, Alex's mother bestowed the full breadth of Alex's powers unto her as soon as possible, and commanded her to learn how to use them by her own. Perhaps Alex's mother helps her every day, but no one can see or feel it? Only her mother knows, and she isn't telling.
Godly Abilities:
- The Right Price: Alex is capable of singling out up to four people for a small competition. The rules of the competition are simple, but infinitely binding: First to answer three questions correctly gets a material reward of unknown origin and variable wealth. The rewards range from ancient, enchanted trinkets to interesting but ultimately useless children's toys. Though setting up the competition requires up to half a minute to concentration and very conspicuous magic usage, it is impossible to back down from, impossible to cheat with, and very, very fun. All those affected by Alex's power are given a temporary makeover, making them look "TV-presentable".
- Impertinent Knowledge: Alex unconsciously understands the solution to any question-- but not how to apply it or how to remember it. When asked a question, any question, Alex will respond with the absolute, most detailed truth. This power is largely useless for solving problems, but is fantastic when the time comes for Alex's magical quiz.
- Showwoman's Voice: With considerable effort, Alex can magically add an impossible amount of raw charisma to her voice. Though what she says is not possible of controlling one's mind, it is very attractive and very compelling. For some odd reason, this power manifests exclusively as a suave baritone.
