In Depth Appearance:Ouami is an African-American man with coffee bean-brown skin that is free of blemishes. His deep-brown eyes can be described as black, but this is a common misconception. He sports a simplistic hairstyle, a small afro, often cutting it low in the summer months. Despite its simplicity, he seems to care for it more than himself at times, often picking it out when grown at ill opportune moments. Quami sports a shining smile, his white teeth protected by unusually full lips, for a man at least.
Standing straight at 6'0" and weighing over 185 pounds, Quami shows off the key traits of an Ares kid, tall and muscular. Despite being ragged on for his poor physical fitness, he is quite well-built, though he tends to stand with poor posture, slouching over.
Clothing Style:The greatest and most important part of Quami's outfit is his shoes, often sporting expensive Jordans, Nikes, or Addias. He is rarely seen wearing any other brand, and is often seen cleaning them when he isn't messing with his hair. Besides is unusual shoe fetish, all other brands are fair game. Quami will be usually seen wearing casual clothing such as sweats and a t-shirt. Unfortunately, he finds himself addicted to the comfort that it provides, and will often wear such clothes to the worst of events. An example of this is a time when he wore joggers and a plain grey t-shirt to his aunts wedding. After that incident, he didn't see the light of day for a whole week. On a serious note, when Quami needs to dress respectablely, he can be seen in a red hoody with a clean white t-shirt, blue slim-fit jeans, and his staple red and white Jordans, he strives to match.
Quirks/Oddities/Habits- Nappy Hair: Quami will find himself constantly picking at his hair, even when its fine. He never leaves home without a pic, often leaving it in his hair for easy access.
- To Casual: Quami doesn't have a sense of appropriate attire during important events. In many cases, Quami will wear sweats to funerals, despite being told before hand not to do so.
- Shoe Fetish: Quami will never be seen in anything other than Jordans, Addias, or Nikes, and would rather walk barefoot than be in anything else. Despite never being exactly privileged growing up, Quami feels that wearing shoes like theses gives off the appearance of good living.
- Potty Mouth: Quami curses 'alot' for an Ares kid. Sometimes he will find himself dropping f-bombs or female dogs when frustrated.
- Ladies Man: Quami ends up falling in love with girls that aren't related to him, so he finds himself flirting with alot of the women he sees, but he means no harm.

Personality:♦ Goal-Oriented ♦ Observant ♦ Social ♦ Protective
Quami knows that his thoughts don't follow the popular veins of Ares' kin's. On the surface, he comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin even while making threats. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, he has a penchant for wandering off on his own. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, Quami is extremely personable and has a particularly complimentary nature that easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him.
Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges and is not above using cheap tricks or questionable tactics to ensure his own survival. Being singularly ambitious, and also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and accept burdens for the sake of his own goal. Quami has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity or skills insulted or condemned by others, but Quami is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective.
Quami is very protective of family and friends, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. He has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as his primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them to indulge in thier own personal pleasures.
Background:Quami was born in the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn, New York. His childhood was fairly uneventful, but is what he considers the best years of his life. Most of his childhood was spent running around streets of his neighborhood with the other kids. Sometimes, Quami wouldn't come home till 11:00 at night, most likely just playing basketball at the park. Despite his mothers warnings to come home earlier and earlier, Quami played on, often coming home to 'spankings', at least until he turned 13 at which his mother no longer cared at that point.
Living on the streets, Quami experienced all kinds of things, drugs, sex and alcohol, but this was done one or twice and never done again. In the neighborhood that he resided in, living without a father was a normality, even a badge of honor that many of its resident children wore. Quami was the same, often boasting that he didn't even know his name, but on the inside, the crushing loneliness was always there, constantly gnawing on the edges of his consciousness.
Despite the ripples that went on underneath, Quami's life went on as normal, playing on the streets, coming him late, being scolded by his mother. Things began to change when his grandmother began to live with them when he turned 14. This development changed his life, no longer was he allowed to play outside as often under his grandmothers watch, who was a devout Seventh Day Adventists. Everytime he went out of line, he was beaten with a belt and called a little devil, which nurtured a hatred not for his grandmother, but for religion in general. He was constantly dragged every Sunday to church, but always found himself falling asleep during the sermons.
At age sixteen, for the first time in his life, information about his father came out. His grandmother, in a rage after he came home from a fight, accidentally told him that he was just like his father, "a man who's hands was soaked in blood'. After confronting his mother about it, she confessed, telling him that at one point, she had been a SWAT officer, that much he knew. She fell in love with a man soon after her career took off, and had to quit after Quami was born. The mans name was Ares. At this point in his life, he seemed to get into fight more often, and winning with no context, despite that fact that he wasn't a fighter.
Upon learning of his origins, despite his doubts, things started to get weird. Windows would break randomly, rooms would collapse, large footprints would be found in thier front yard. Upon seeing this, his mother made the decision to send Quami to a new school. She couldn't move due to the strain it would put on his grandmother, so he was sent to Camp Olympus, a place were he assumed kids of single parents lived. That outlook soon changed.
Nowadays, Quami finds himself living comfortably, wandering the streets of the camp like he wandered the streets of Brooklyn.
Extra:Hephaestus my man!
Godly Parent:Ares
Relationship With Godly Parent:Quami's mom did everything she could to allow for him to live comfortably, working jobs she hated, skipping meals, all so that they could share a crummy studio apartment. This was the definition of a normal childhood to him. His mom didn't take this opportunity to complain or criticize his father. In other words, his mom didn't present his childhood as abnormal, so Quami didn't perceive it as such.
Despite this, there was always unpredictable periods of loneliness, especially when he heard stories of other kids father's at school. Quami could never hate his father, but when growing up, trying to conjure an image of him would result in seeing a piece of furniture than anything else. His father meant little to him.
Quami has failed to met his father Ares yet, so his feelings for him has yet to change. You don't miss what you've never experienced.
Godly Abilities:Weapon Proficiency: Like many Ares children, Quami has the ability to only pick up a weapon for a few minutes before he can instantly become proficient in it. The first time he picks up a sword, he can spar with adept swordsman.
Enhanced Combat: Quami can be thought to be skilled in most known forms of fighting in a few hours or days. He can be exceptionally proficient in the fighting traditions of a variety of cultures and become advanced with their own individual methods of close quarter combat, including martial arts (from all over the world), boxing, and wrestling.
