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

Welcome to the guild! I can safely say this place is a lot more accepting and no where near as judgemental XD. My gosh that requirement is load of crap. Anywho, once again welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!
"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

~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: ?.
Long ago Estra was bright and vibrant. Lush green forests met sandy beaches leading to sparkling prestine waters. The air always smelt sweet in a blend of scents from beautiful aromatic plants.
Land, sea and air alike were teeming with creatures great and small of all types, including those of magic, ones our universe only hear in stories. Fae, elves, dwarves, mermaids and so many more. Humans and such magic creatures lived in harmony and mingled. Some even had interspecies relationships and children. Houses created from natural materials lined the meadows and necessary supplies were hunted, gathered or created from the abundant land and where either swapped, kept or given to another out of kindness. Greed was very rare to those of the land.
There was a king or/and a queen. The title was passed on to the next of kin who was willing to recieve despite their ancestory spicies wise. The royalty were in place to oversee peace and barely raised themselves much higher then others
But when King Harrison inherited the title it all changed. Harrison, unlike many, was rude, arrogant and selfish. He was the third child of 6 but his oldest brother decided he did not want responsibility of the throne when his elven girlfriend fell pregnant and the next child died from an unknown cause leaving Harrison to the throne.
At this stage royalty was made up of mainly human blood, barely a sliver of magic DNA in them. Due to this Harrison felt something many did not in those days, something very deeply. Jealousy. He envied those with magic blood. He envied their advanced abilities, their superior knowledge, their powers and their connection to the land. Harrison had plans for the world that could destroy much of it and when the news was spread there was an uprising, mainly made up of people with magic in them, and this angered the new king. He convinced humans and those with so little blood they didn't have even a slight magic ability that those who had magic abilities were evil and sentenced all those to be hunted and killed.
470 years later. The world is so different. Very few forests still stand, their plants no so bright, the aroma not so sweet. The prestine waters have faded and were often murky. Civilisations are built on concrete jungles and all products are brought with metal and paper they pretend is important. The throne was passed from terrible king to evil queen and magic and its creatures has becomeof myth. There's rumour, however, of the few who believe this myth is true; Deep in Harganger Forest a civilization has been formed of those with magic blood. Only those with enough magic ability to be slightly more advanced then humans, faster, stronger and wiser, and one day these people will rise up and bring the end of the bloodline's reign out of vengeance.
Plot
Life in foster care, all you've ever known, right? All you've ever had. Well aren't you mistaken? That's what they want you to believe, that's what they've brainwashed you to believe. Of course the detail they went into is so exact there's almost no way to deny your life is a lie... but it is. There's a first time for everything, right?
The day started off as a usual Saturday like clockwork. Nothing seemed strange or odd to you or any of the other 5 teens in the foster home. All 6 of you had all moved into the home at such a young age you regarded each other as siblings but your lives are soon to be turned upside down when events lead you on the verge of being murdered by the woman who cared for you all those years and 2 young adults come bursting in to save you.
Soon you discover your life wasn't as you thought. You're part of a tribe, a civilization of magic blood and the 6 of you were a rebel group sent into the city where the royalty lived to start the first stage of revenge and your civilization's guaranteed safety, that was before you were caught and your minds wiped, replaced with fake facts. That incident happened 6 weeks before.
Each member was given a guide, someone who was once significant to them, a brother or a lover or a friend or a rival someone like that, before your memories were replaced. The 2 of you doing those parts can figure out how they knew each other.
Back in the forest you once knew so well but now a mystery, it is the job of your guide to assist you in finding your way around your homeland, help you piece back your identity (without directly giving away who they once were to them no matter how much it hurts) and train the rebel group back up to once again fight the evil, envious royalty.
Will you remember who you are? Will you be ready to fight soon enough or will you be forced to watch your sanctuary and your people die?
