A reminder you dont need to know every detail of every bad thing. Being informed is good but being consumed achieves nothing good. You're still a good person if you have boundries with bad news

Idk man i just like writing silly little stories with the silly little people in my screen
And that's more than fine; Erin can most definitely teach Vanessa how to summon the spirits- Nessa will just need to catch her in a good enough mood to get her to agree on doing that first x'D
Haha that's gonna be an interesting experience for Vanessa I think X'D
Anyway; let's get down to the stuff that I know you're waiting to hear about shall we, heheh. I really like Vanessa; I think she holds amazing contrast over her sister Erin, and I also think that while the two of them will butt heads quite a lot (Erin will complain and basically act like she hates Vanessa completely), I also believe that they'll probably end up being pretty close.
The only thing that I do see some issue with is the power that you've given to her... It's not that it isn't a possibility for the children of Hades to be able to summon spirits back to Earth, it's just that it's a lot more complicated than you've made it out to be. There is basically a whole ritually-like feel to doing it... offerings that need to be given... Turns out the dead really love happy meals; go figure. Erin is able to do this, though only ever does it one day a year (her birthday, which is Halloween) for those who ask her to; it's the only day she's in a good enough mood to talk to everyone.
Now, I have no issues with Erin teaching this to Vanessa throughout the roleplay, if that is something that you would want; but I would ask that to keep with this part of the Riordan universe, if you wish to have her walk the path of necromancy that instead of spirits, she be able to summon things such as skeletal/ and or zombieish figures- this also includes animals. If you want, I can link you to the pages on the wikia that will give you a list of the powers that both Hades and his children wield. :'3
I'm well thanks and you?
"Now, I have no issues with Erin teaching this to Vanessa throughout the roleplay, if that is something that you would want;" If you don't mind that is definitely something I'd be into happening :D.
The link for the wikia was stated earlier in the OOC so I saved it just in case that comes up :). I'll probably stick on the path on necromancy, as you suggested, with the zombieish figures (means I can be lazier with changing ish XD) but I'll go through the powers and such in case something there catches my eye instead, I'll let you know when I've changed what needs to be changed and such :D
At: The Paris airport Interacting with: The X-Men. Date: 15th March
Each plane brought a new winner, one of them bringing 3, and the group that started with only Mr Lewis, José and Claire quickly grew. José greeted each person and took offered hands and shook them. Her smile was not as wide as earlier but still present and still unable wiped of her face.
After greeting each person Mr Lewis then ushered them all toward the limo "This will take you to the hotel, I will see you again the day we leave on the Grand Orient Express! Have fun and just try not to need bail money," with that he gave a laugh, looking toward Joel and Claire. José was pretty sure she gave a chuckle too at this.
She wasn't too surprised when Claire was the one to yell "Come on peeps! Time to party!" before diving into the limo and giving a triumphant yell at finding beer. José slid into the car after Tas and seated herself across for Joel and Claire. "We're going to have to keep an eye on you two, aren't we?" she jokes, getting comfortable in her seat. She doubted she'd be able to unpack before racing out the door to wander the streets she's been longing to see for years. The smile widening on her face at the thought of it, excitement jittering through her, a feeling that only tended to show up when she was about to do a gig for a large crowd had decided to make its appearance. Oh this will be fun
@Vicier Just under demigod abilities, as it wasn't an official one in the wikia I'm unsure on if you'd accept it but if you took a minute to check it out before coming to an conclusion would be appreciated even if it isn't an excepted ability (if that is the case bio will change accordingly) :)
"I'm not as unapproachable as I seem but I don't mind being avoided by most people because then I'll know the people who don't judge books by their covers, they have the kindest hearts and make the best and most loyal of friends ~ Vanessa Charlotte Casey
~General Information~

~Personal Information~
Personality: On appearance Vanessa can seem gloomy and downright pessimistic. However Vanessa isn't (usually) as gloomy as she seems. She isn't one to smile or laugh often, that's usually something that she only does when she is with her friends alone. She usually like to keep to herself or to a small group of people shes close with. She considers herself a level-head realist but her mind does often wander, sometimes from the likes of daydreaming, sometimes she just gets pushed into deep thought.
Vanessa was never surrounded by a large group of friends, probably never will be. When she was in school she was often that kid everyone would actively avoid for no good reason but at camp she has her father's reputation to thank for it, her cabin's councilor, Erin's, attitude to the general group of campers isn't any help either. Vanessa has a big heart and is willing to share it with anyone who bothers to pay her some attention. She is very loyal and cares for her friends deeply, however, in her darkest moments she will push them away. As caring as she is she believes that one should take consequences for their actions and finds it hard to forgive those who mentally or physically hurt her, her family or her friends.
Vanessa is most definitely an introvert and isn't a fan of big parties, or even such gatherings (however she quite enjoys the campfire nights). She's quite intelligent and is great with strategy, given not as much as a child of Athena but she was always an A/B student when she was in school. She usually doesn't judge quickly, or tries not to at least. She the type of person who listens to both sides of the argument and silently analyses it before coming to a personal conclusion, however, she will be quick to stand up for her loved ones. She is generally mature and responsible but when she is alone with her friends she lets loose a bit, becomes more smiley and slightly crazy even if she's close enough to them.
Skills: As far as skills go Vanessa hasn't shown any 'mortal' skill out of the ordinary, she works for what she's got. She has a rich knowledge in history and she is intelligent, but not as much so as the Athenian kids. She is great with strategy (particularly war strategy) but not as much so as a kid from Athena or Ares. She has a few musical skills up her sleeve but not to the potential of an Apollo kid. Needless to say Vanessa has skills but each are easily outshone from the children of another god
Biography: Jane had been widowed almost 2 years when she met Hades that Spring. She had taken her sons Jacob and William (whom were 3 and 4 at the time) to a local cafe for lunch. Hades happened to be seated at the table next to them and William and Jacob (at their wide-eyed naive ages) decided they wanted to talk to the 'sad man' and made attempts to be his friend until their mother intercepted. The 2 got to chatting and meet up a couple of times before falling in love, well at least Jane did.
A few days before spring ended Hades revealed his identity to her and told her that he could not see her again, neither aware Jane fallen pregnant that night.
Nine month later Jane gave a long, painful birth to Vanessa. The family of four were well off enough. Even though all 3 kids always knew Vanessa 'didn't have a dad' they never took that into much thought. Growing up William and Jacob were very protective of their younger sister, of course they often teased and tormented each other as siblings do but if anyone else did so to her they'd have older boys to answer to.
Vanessa's family lived off Jane's deceased husband's earnings (as he was a doctor when he was alive) and always had what they needed. True, they didn't have a luxurious life but they had an education, full stomachs, a roof over their heads and a bit extra for special occasions. However money was getting tighter and tighter by the year and the family couldn't live off of a deceased man's earnings forever. It was evident Jane would have to return to her job as a nurse eventually but there wasn't anyone to look after the kids and at their young age she didn't want them home alone in the evening, that was when she met Michael.
Vanessa was 5 when Jane met Micheal and truthfully she quite liked the man. The two of them married 2 years on and Vanessa always saw Micheal as her father figure and often referred to him as her father other than her stepdad despite keeping her mother's maiden name.
When Vanessa was inching toward her tenth year her mother gave birth to yet another girl, Selina. Selina was never Vanessa's half-sister. Despite technicalities Selina was never to be referred to as Vanessa's half sister when she was around or she'd be quick to correct them.
Vanessa's mother passed when she was 11. A storm had hit and the rain pounded the roof of every house, every building and covered every road. Jane was on her way home from her job when the storm hit suddenly, the rain limiting the view of every driver so neither her or the man driving the truck noticed each other until it was too late. Despite the pleas of Jane in her will Micheal decided he couldn't, and didn't want to, care for all the children left to him despite his own by blood and sent the other three kids to a local foster care home as Jane had lost contact with her family years ago. Leaving Vanessa to feel betrayed by the man who had been her father in her eyes for the last few years. Ridden with guilt Micheal would often attempt to send money and presents to the kids but they were always returned, they didn't want anything to do with him.
When she was almost 12 she first summoned zombie-like figure from the underworld. It was an accident, obviously, but of course, how are you meant to explain that to the other tweens and teens who you shared a house with? So entitling her a freak they avoided any contact with her if possible but Vanessa didn't care, this opened a new possibility for her, maybe she could see her mother, at least long enough to say goodbye. As much as she tried, however, it never worked. What Vanessa didn't know was the random deaths and brutal killings in the area weren't coincidence, although she could not summon a 'zombie' for an overly long period of time with each spirit another monster was detecting her and, when she was 14 she was quickly taken to camp half-blood by a satyr, who has lived in the foster care for a couple of months, alongside a small group of harder-to-detect demigods who had been in the area trying to kill off the beasts in the city. Despite a visit to Olympus, Vanessa had never left camp half-blood since.
~Demigod Information~
Demigod Abilities:
Summoning Corpses: Particularly near their burial site Vanessa can summon the corpse of a deceased in a zombielike state. On occasions she can summon them from a distance but it takes a lot of power and energy out of her. At the moment she can only summon or occasionally, 2 at a time.
~Weaponry Information~
Weapon/s: Gifted to Vanessa by Chiron λήθη was rewarded to a loyal soldier and follower of Hades. Many battles have been won and much blood spilled with that sword and upon the soldier's death it was donated to camp half-blood. Vanessa, however, tries to limit weaponry use as much as possible so nowadays it doesn't really get the usage it deserves Weapon/s Name: λήθη- Oblivion (Not to be confused with Λήθη, meaning lethe- forgetfulness) Weapon/s Type: Stygian Iron sword Attributes: ?.
@Vicier haha it is. Y'know when they ran an episode each night in order from the first to the last one before neighbours a few years back? My sister became obsessed with it and mum and I quite liked it so we watched most of the episodes. Then her theme song is by Tonight Alive XD I listened to a couple of their song recently and been meaning to look into more of their music
