Olympus Academy // A School for Demigods and Demigoddesses

_{Location: Her apartment. // Interactions: Her dog, Nala.}

Insomnia had been kicking Haley's ass for the last few months. It was a constant thing, but the worst of it came in waves. Five in the morning seemed like a reasonable time to fall asleep after all, right? Besides, if you couldn't sleep, you couldn't have nightmares. She had been asked by a few people why she didn't just take a sleeping potion or two, and she always came up with some lame excuse; but in truth, she didn't want to sleep sometimes.

Her anxiety had been through the roof thinking of what person was going to be moving into her apartment this year. She had read the announcement and seen a guys name. Being paired with a boy wasn't a problem at all, but what if he was hot? What if he was one of those annoying jock types that left his smelly gym socks right outside of the clothes basket and refused to talk about anything other than basketball? What if he was a super neat person who insisted on organizing everything and even went so far as to make a chore chart? No. There had to be a nice balance, much like with herself. She had certain spots for certain things, but there was certainly a pair of jeans or two in the floor, and she always had to look for her shoes in the morning. The top of her dresser was covered in scratch paper, various pens, notebooks and reading materials. The young woman wasn't the best example for a role model by far, and knowing her luck, they had paired her with some first year that they expected her to mentor.

Meanwhile, Nala was nothing but a ball of energy, and all that Haley wanted to do was sleep. The ball of snow white fluff sat at the foot of Haley's bed, following her owner back and forth with her eyes as she moved from one side of the room to the other.

"What is it, girl?" she asked the dog, walking over to scratch her under the chin. "If we don't like the new guy, you can chew up his favorite pair of shoes," Haley said, a tone of sarcastic amusement in her voice. "Doesn't that sound like fun, hm? Gods I need something strong to drink."

She lazily walked over to the door, opening it for Nala as she wagged her tail happily and ran down the stairs. She had gotten used to the campus over the last few years just like Haley had, so worrying about her getting lost wasn't something anyone had to do. Leaving the door open, the young woman walked over to her dresser, picked up her black notebook and proceeded to quickly scan through some of her notes. Her newest possible creation was a health potion. It was going to be used for the common cold mostly, but if she could get it in a more concentrated form, perhaps she could use it to treat cuts and bruises - maybe even broken bones.

Pulling her phone from her back pocket, she opened Spotify, bluetoothed it to her speaker and put her playlist on shuffle. The first song to come one was Now by Chase Atlantic. If she was going to have a roommate, they would have to get used to the familiar scene of the messy-haired-over-sized-band-t-shirt-ripped-skinny-jeans-wearing girl listening to her music perhaps a little to loudly while she brewed her potions in the corner of the room and furiously scribbled her notes.

Her was to another exciting year at Olympus Academy.

_Appearance

Haley stands at five feet, four inches tall, being considered an average height, though she seems to be shorter than most of the other campers her age. Looking upon her face, the first thing that you will notice about her is her eyes - easily her most dominant feature. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are a dark hazel color with golden specks in them. They can either seem warm and inviting like a cup of warm coffee, or hard as stone. Her nose is slightly pudgy and seems a bit big for her face. Her lips are considered to be thin, though the bottom one is slightly fuller than the upper. A light splash of freckles cover her face, mainly under her eyes and across her nose, and can be found on her arms as well. Her lashes are long, and her eyebrows are thick, though not considered bushy.

Haley's body shape is considered to be a pudgy hour glass. Years of training have lead to there being a undertone of muscle on her arms and legs. Her hair falls just below her mid back in natural, messy waves. Her skin is considered to be light tan in color. Her smile is said to light up whatever room that she is in, though it is rarely seen. When she does smile, there is a dimple on the upper right side of her chin.

There are a few identifiable marks on the young womans body. One being a inch long scar under her knuckle, slightly on the left side of her index finger on her right hand. She also have a scar in the shape of a near perfect triangle on the inside of her right ankle where she fell off a bike and her foot got wrapped in the chain when she was ten.

For her clothing choice, Haley can typically be found wearing a band t-shirt of some kind, and skinny jeans. A extra hair band as well as her rubber US Army bracelet can be found on her right wrist at all times. She prefers dark colors, and will never be found wearing something pink. Though she despises them, Haley will wear a dress on very special occasions. Her hair is found either worn down or in a ponytail. A leather cord necklace with a dragon pendant wrapped around a crystal can be found around her neck at all times. Her drawstring bag, a gift from her mother, Hecate, is typically found hanging from one shoulder. For footwear, she typically wears combat boots or converse. She doesn't particularly care for make-up, though she will wear mascara.

_Personality

On the outside looking in, Haley is one of the most happy, socially awkward people that you could ever meet. Always saying something goofy, and having a way with words, the girl is the type to almost always have a smile on her face and is not quick to get angered. Having social anxiety is perhaps the reason for her social awkwardness, which causes her to say and do really random things in public. Haley is the type of girl that may come off as a bish from time to time. Some may say that the girl is violent, with her outbursts of random, crazy, violent sayings but she probably won't choke you with a marshmellow. However, that's the coverup that she puts on. The truth is, Haley suffers from depression. The girl tends to keep her emotions bottled inside and simply does her best to release them through her training.

Haley is a very loyal person, and will do practically anything for her friends. She doesn't trust or get attached to to many people, so when and if you hurt her, expect her to cut you out of her life completely. A promise means everything, and she will never break one.

She is typically found reading or listening to music. Her hang out spots include the stables, library or woods. Stubborn as they come, she sometimes has trouble accepting things as how they are. She is also very sarcastic and tends to make very dark humored jokes.

The young woman hates drama, gossip, and any other thing of the sort. She can typically be seen hanging out with the guys at school, because she considers females to much drama. Of course, if you ask her how she is doing, you will receive a great and a goofy thumbs up. Not being able to express herself truthfully angers her to no end, though, just like her true feelings, she doesn't let it show. In short, the girl is a half read book. To know her, you must first know the whole story.

_History

Haley was left on the door step of her father's house nine months after a one night stand with Hecate. The man wasn't sure how to act to the brief note telling him to take care of the child, or his to explain this all to his girlfriend, Sarah. However, he didn't feel right handing her over to get tossed around in the foster care system, so he began to care for her; Sarah wasn't particularly pleased about the news, but went along with his decision. Four months after Haley arrived on their doorstep, the happy couple was married.

Haley's early childhood was normal enough. She was made a big sister at the ages of four and five. She started elementary school at the age of five as well. At school, she found her love for books. It was clear that the little girl had an active imagination, as she loved to tell stories to her class. Her grades were good, she was happy. All of her life, Haley had seen strange things. However, around the age of eight, these things became more prominent.

She started to see monsters on the playground, and ghosts at the mall. When she first started seeing ghosts, she didn't realize that these people were invisible to everyone else, not that they were dead. Little Haley would talk to these ghosts in public, causing her to get questionable looks from her family, teachers, and strangers. At the age of nine, one of the teachers suggested that she speak to the school counselor, as it was a little out of the normal to still have imaginary friends at this age. Haley didn't completely understand why she was being made to talk to someone, but she went along with a few sessions. She gathered quickly what was going on, however, and stopped talking about what she seen in public a little after six months of seeing the counselor. Hearing the teachers talk to her parents about seeing things that 'weren't there' started to make her think something was wrong with her.

At the age of eleven, Haley began to be bullied by the other kids. They had no basis for doing so - just the normal elementary school stuff. The children wanted someone to make fun of, and she just so happened to be the victim. This caused her to be an outsider, and pull away from most of the other children. She continued to see the ghosts and mythological things as well. Centaurs running across the fields; Cyclopes walking the streets.

At the age of fifteen, she made a new friend - Kevin. Over a years time, she and Kevin grew close, sharing secrets and laughing together in the back of the class. Haley even told the boy about the things that she seen. For the first time in a long time, Kevin was the only person that didn't think she was crazy. However, the other children were mean to Kevin as well. He was a quiet guy, and therefore he was different; the kids didn't like different. When Haley turned sixteen, Kevin started acting strange. It was like he was on high alert, always looking out for something or someone. He hardly spoke anymore. He and Haley grew distant. Two months after her sixteenth birthday, a hellhound tried to attack her. Kevin defended her, but tried to act as if nothing happened after they had gotten to safety. Haley wasn't about to stand for it. She kept pressuring her friend until he gave her the information that she wanted. At first, Haley thought he was insane, but as she took the time to piece together the strange parts of her life with the new information, the more it made sense. Kevin proceeded to explain this to her parents as well. The decision to send her to Olympus Academy was unanimous.

She packed her bags and was sent to OA that school year where she was given a place to stay. It was nice to have a place to go to with people who were like her, but it took some time to get used to. Her first two years at OA, she just attended the school for the normal school year. She wanted to try and get the normal high school experience. High School turned out to be a nightmare for her. The kids got meaner, the monsters still tried to attack, putting everyone that she was around in danger. She began to blame herself for small things at first; nothing she did anymore was right. She wasn't happy with her appearance or personality, and kept trying to change herself. It seemed like no matter where's she went, she never fit in, not even at OA. She has opted into being a year round student this year.

If you asked her, she wouldn't be able to tell you what went wrong to make her feel the way she does. There wasn't any major childhood trauma or anything else of the sort. She tried making friends at OA, only to fail over and over. She was awkward, and always seemed to say the wrong thing. By the age of fifteen she had all but completely isolated herself from the world. The only friends she needed were her music, books and pens. She channeled her frustration and sadness into her training, staying in the practice arena for hours at a time. More often than not, Haley came back to the appartments with bruises and cuts everywhere. She aimed to try and be the best at something; swordsmanship and hand to hand combat seemed to be two things that it was good to be good at.

To this day, Haley still isolates herself, though she is trying to be more outgoing. So far, it only seems to work 10% of the time.

"She's powerful, she's beautiful, and she's mysterious. She's almost everything I aspire to be." — Haley

_{Godly Parent}

Hecate - Goddess of the Mist, Magic, Crossroads and Moon.

_{Relationship With Godly Parent}

Haley has never met her mother, though aspires to be like her as far as her magic is concerned. She will happily listen to the stories of her brothers and sisters and how they feel about their mother, as a way to get to know her. The young woman wishes to meet her godly parent one day, but doesn't get her hopes up to much.

_{Demigod Abilities}

-Thanks to her mother, Haley has a power known as Mist Manipulation, meaning that she controls the veil between the mundane and mythical worlds. For example, the young woman can make herself seem closer or further from you. She can also manipulate articles of clothing, hair color, and the features of someones face. She can disguise objects, create new objects, or make them disappear completely from view. Haley can basically make you see what she wants.

-Due to Hecate's affiliation with her torches, Haley can throw fire from her hands.

-Hecate is known as the mother of empousai, and through a long, hard, grueling process, Haley has learned to create them herself. They aren't as strong as her mothers, in the sense that you can kill them by simply slicing off their heads and they are only about two feet tall. She can call them to her aid in times of battle, and can only have three at any given time.

-Potion Brewing/Creation: Through reading various potion books and doing some experimenting Haley is a master at brewing certain potions. She sells them for profits around school.

-Laughing potion: takes fifteen minutes to make. Puts the drinker into a fit of hysterical laughter for an hour. Green in color. Side affects include laughing.

-Love potion: takes a week to make, and lasts for two weeks. Red in color. The drinker will fall in to a deep infatuation with the first person they see after drinking the potion. Side affects include two hundred missed calls, sweet texts that make you want to puke, theft of all your hoodies and an annoying human pet that won't leave your side for a full fourteen days.

-Calming potion: Takes two days to make, lasts for eight hours. Clear in color. Drinker will experience a calming affect that will eventually result in a blissful, light sleep. This potion helps to calm the persons nerves after a trauma or before a test. It won't make you forget what is making you upset, but rather help you to handle it in a way that doesn't appear to be a mental break down. Perfect for people with anxiety.

Truth potion: Two weeks creation process, lasts until all three questions are answered, and appears a milky white in color. The drinker of this potion will have to answer three questions completely honest. Chose your questions wisely.

Puking potion: Three hours creation time; lasts fifteen minutes. Appears orange in color, and produces a foul odor that is usually compared to that of gym socks. Anyone who drinks this potion will experience uncontrolled vomiting for a full fifteen minutes immediately after drinking it.

Energy potion: Takes one day to make, lasts for three days. Blue in color. Affects include absolutely no sleep for a full seventy-two hours. After the affects wear off, this potion will cause the drinker to sleep for a full three days afterward.

Though all of these potions have their certain colors, all of them are nearly tasteless. Some people may experience a slight after taste of strawberries from the love potion, lemons from the energy potion, etc.

These are the potions that Haley specializes in, and are guaranteed to work. If you need a different potion made, you are more than welcome to ask. However the price may be high, and it will take a while to make through a hectic process of trial and error.

_{-Has a solid white Samoyed named Nala.
-Owns a drawstring bag that holds an infinite number of items. All items must be able to fit in the bag, however.

"I'm a little bit a little bit of the wall // Come on what you need ADHD for me" — Truslow, ADHD

_Appearance

Alva has what is considered to be a lithe frame; small, tiny and graceful. Her hair falls down to her waist, being considered platinum blonde in a series of light waves. Though small framed, AJ does have the slightest undertone of muscle due to her training and working hard at Camp Jupiter and her gymnastics lessons. Her face is made up of her small, gray-hazel eyes, average, rosey lips and nose and her possibly to long golden hair. AJ's hair is usually left falling naturally or pulled into a high set pony tail that is messy looking with the bangs left out to do their own thing.

The small figure can typically be see wearing neutral color clothes such as whites, gray's and blacks. However, she may throw in a dark blue or purple shirt every once in a while. No matter what, Alva always wear's her leather jacket somewhere on her body unless she is sleeping. As for footwear: Either combat boots, converse, or converse lace-up boots, or maybe even wedges with her adorned dresses. When she does wear dresses, skirts or sorts, they are short. Make-up is a key part of the girls appearance. Mascara and eyeliner is a everyday must for Alva, the eyeliner going on heavy. As for eyeshadow, it can be light, dark, silver or gold. Her lipstick/lip-gloss tends to range in colors and shades as well. Alva has a silver rope chain with a heart on it. She never goes anywhere without this and even wears it to bed.

-She has her tongue pierced.
-Has two lobe piercings in each ear, as well as a helix piercing in both ears. Alva has an industrial piercing in her right ear.

_Personality

Alva is one of the most courageous and determined people that you could ever meet. However, she also has a kind side to her tough-girl persona. If you come to her with a problem, no matter how big or small, she will do her best to help you. Some may find this irony, considering her father is the god of the North Wind, and those who have brought it up, have lost close to all of AJ’s respect. If you ever find the small figure staring at you, don't get a big head about it, nor get offended. She stares at people all the time, sizing them up and doing her best to find their weak spots; Call it a survival tactic if you wish. She always has a smart a** comeback for everything; Call it inventive thinking with a hint of goofy snarky-ness. Her brain is constantly going oh-eight-hundred, leaving her to talk to herself the majority of the time about elaborate plans or spewing random facts, perhaps even just stringing random words together. AJ is a very smart person, both book and street smart on what could be considered an above average level when it comes to the book part. When she says book smart, she doesn’t mean on the basis of reading, but that of school books such as science and english. AJ always says the craziest and most random things, leaving you to think "What the heck does that mean" or "Is she mentally unstable?" Her energy levels are through the roof. Imagine you took a squirrel, gave it a jumbo sized can of Monster energy drink and then put it into a very small place so it's constantly bouncing up and down trying to get out. Pretty sure that sums up this tiny, spunky, blonde figure.

_History

Alva Jay was born in a small Estonian town on November fifth to her parents Khione and Markus. The man had previously met the goddess, Khione, at a prestigious party. The two clicked and next thing you knew, Alva was born. For the first few years of her life, her godly parent was in the picture. At the age of five, Markus and Khione had a falling out after she revealed the truth about who she was to him. It was to much for him to understand and comprehend. Only a mad woman would ever say such things. Markus took his daughter and moved to Santa Monica, California. Here was where they met Titania. Alva was a little confused about what to think of the woman and her soon-to-be step-brothers. Needless to say, the two were married, AJ the flower girl. AJ fit right in with her new brothers, among being put into Gymnastics class. She quickly learned this skill. Khione attempted to stay in contact throughout AJ's life, but Markus would only allow the goddess to see her daughter on the childs birthday.

All throughout her life, Alva has seen thing that were not considered to be real. People and animal like figures. However, AJ never told anyone, as she had been told that she had a over active imagination and was just fine with telling herself that. Her childhood was filled with coming home from school and running around the yard, climbing trees and messing around with the guys up until the point where fashion came into play. Don't get her wrong, Alva would do all of the old activities with her brothers, just never in a nice outfit anymore. Alva's school life was a little on the bad side, however. The girl was made fun of in class while reading aloud and tripping over her words due to dyslexia. Being ADHD helped nothing. She could not sit still in class, causing the teachers to be mad. However, the children making fun of her pushed her harder into her studies, the girl always thinking that she could do better. At the age of 12 or so, AJ began to really get into her music, secluding herself from people that she did not really have a use for. However, the dares and grades, along with witty comebacks, made the blonde girl known to many.

Then came the emotional roller coaster at the age of 13. Up until this point, Alva's life had been all smiles and laughter, sadness a undertone. On the way back from a Gymnastics competition in which she had placed second, feeling pretty stoked about the matter, Markus would get a call on his cellphone and quickly hanging up, the pain apparent in his eyes.

"What's the matter, father," the girl asked.

"Mr. Richards from the police department just informed me that your mother... she was in a accident, AJ," Markus would respond.

A million different conclusions and possibilities would run through the girls mind as she sat in the passengers seat of the car, playing with the necklace that her mother had just given her two weeks prior. Markus made the speed hand rise, Alva barely aware of his knuckles turning white on the wheel. Pulling up on the scene, not realizing in the direction that they were heading, Alva would see a gurney, a black body bag atop of it being loaded into a ambulance. A car -her mothers car- was squashed like a tin-can between the front end of a eighteen wheeler and a large tree. It didn't take long for the girl to put two and two together as the grief came crashing down on her shoulders.

"Dad..." Alva said, her voice weak. The man took her small frame into a large, warm embrace, tears starting to run down her cheeks.

"I know, darling, I know," was all the man could say.

From that moment on, Alva's world was practically turned upside down. She loved her family, but her mother had been her rock, the person that was always there for her, and she had had no chance to say good-bye. AJ trained more vigorously, studied more and, of course listened to her music more. Perhaps it was all of the stress that helped her powers to manifest. Regardless of whatever reason, Markus was furious when ice started forming in the palms of his daughters hands. On her fourteenth birthday, Khione explained everything to her daughter about her lineage. AJ's reaction was a mixture of surprise and confusion. The goddess gave her daughter some small tips on how to control her powers, and through some light self training, AJ's powers were less tied to her emotions and more so to her concentration.

Right before her sixteenth birthday, Khione came to the Zolkin house, and explained what Olympus Academy and it's importance was. Markus didn't want his daughter to go to some strange school, but both Alva and the goddess insisted. At the beginning of the next school year, Alva was sent to Olympus Academy. Here she has been training like a mad woman and trying to become the strongest person she can be.

"She always said that she could form ice right from her hands. Cause snow to fall from the sky at her will. The madwoman never wore a jacket, even when it was freezing. The more I think about it, the more like ice she was. Not in the sense of being cold and hard, but in the paleness of her skin, and the delicateness of her features. You remind me so much of her." — Markus

_{Godly Parent}

Khione, Goddess of snow, ice and the cold.

_{Relationship With Godly Parent}

Alva respects her mother, though they are not the closest. It is something that Alva wishes to change, though it doesn't seem likely with the goddesses busy schedule.

_{Demigod Abilities}

Cryokenisis: Just like her mother, Alva has complete control over snow and ice.

-She isn't affected by cold temperatures.
-Alva can turn humans or demigods into ice. Of course this isn't permanent, and can be reversed. However it does take a long time without a heat source near by.
-AJ can make something grow colder and colder to the point where it feels like it's burning, and even cause frostbite.
-The young woman can can summon very violent blizzards and other snow-associated calamities with a wave of her hand.
-She can sense fire, and people with fire abilities. Get's hot very easily.
-Can form objects out of ice, such as swords, spikes, ice sculptures, etc.

At the age of 12 or so, AJ began to really get into her music, secluding herself from people that she did not really have a use for. However, the dares and grades, along with witty comebacks, made the blonde girl known to many.

Then came the emotional roller coaster at the age of 13. Up until this point, Alva's life had been all smiles and laughter, sadness a undertone. On the way back from a Gymnastics competition in which she had placed second, feeling pretty stoked about the matter, Markus would get a call on his cellphone and quickly hanging up, the pain apparent in his eyes.

"What's the matter, father," the girl asked.

"Mr. Richards from the police department just informed me that your mother... she was in a accident, AJ," Markus would respond.

A million different conclusions and possibilities would run through the girls mind as she sat in the passengers seat of the car, playing with the necklace that her mother had just given her two weeks prior. Markus made the speed hand rise, Alva barely aware of his knuckles turning white on the wheel. Pulling up on the scene, not realizing in the direction that they were heading, Alva would see a gurney, a black body bag atop of it being loaded into a ambulance. A car -her mothers car- was squashed like a tin-can between the front end of a eighteen wheeler and a large tree. It didn't take long for the girl to put two and two together as the grief came crashing down on her shoulders.

"Dad..." Alva said, her voice weak. The man took her small frame into a large, warm embrace, tears starting to run down her cheeks.

"I know, darling, I know," was all the man could say.

From that moment on, Alva's world was practically turned upside down. She loved her family, but her mother had been her rock, the person that was always there for her, and she had had no chance to say good-bye. AJ trained more vigorously, studied more and, of course listened to her music more. Perhaps it was all of the stress that helped her powers to manifest. Regardless of whatever reason, Markus was furious when ice started forming in the palms of his daughters hands. On her fourteenth birthday, Khione explained everything to her daughter about her lineage. AJ's reaction was a mixture of surprise and confusion. The goddess gave her daughter some small tips on how to control her powers, and through some light self training, AJ's powers were less tied to her emotions and more so to her concentration.

Right before her sixteenth birthday, Khione came to the Zolkin house, and explained what Olympus Academy and it's importance was. Markus didn't want his daughter to go to some strange school, but both Alva and the goddess insisted. At the beginning of the next school year, Alva was sent to Olympus Academy. Here she has been training like a mad woman and trying to become the strongest person she can be.

"She always said that she could form ice right from her hands. Cause snow to fall from the sky at her will. The madwoman never wore a jacket, even when it was freezing. The more I think about it, the more like ice she was. Not in the sense of being cold and hard, but in the paleness of her skin, and the delicateness of her features. You remind me so much of her." — Markus
