Astrids easy going attitude dropped like a rock with Thanes remark, as well her mouth. "Shoddy-, Shoddy fucking paperweights!" A small flame flickered through her hair in her anger, "You didn't just call my blades shoddy god damn fucking paperweights!" Reaching down to pick up a blade she pointed it towards Thane, "The blades a nearly perfect, celestial bronze, and sharp as a god damn razor. I would know I've cut myself on them plenty of times."
Trying to think of a way to prove her point, Astrid reached back an arm and with perfect aim threw the blade towards Thain's cabin. It quivered as it stuck out of the door. The throw had not been quiet perfect on her part, but she had mostly practiced throwing a spear instead of a sword. "You tell me if that's a fucking paperweight."

Hephaestus cabin has bunk beds that retract to seperate beds in the basement. This is to maximize space for the forge/armoury i guess.
Astrid popped up next to the large group of newbies. She was carrying a large armful of swords. While the arms were sharp and unsheathed, she didn't get cut due some braces she had put on her arms. This she had learned the hard way. Throwing down the swords she waved to them, "Walla. Swords for all." This was a little tradition of hers, ever since she could remember she had always given out her swords to new campers. She had plenty of them to give out, with all her spare time.
"Erin, good to see that they chose you to lead the freshest of our midst. I'm just going to assume that they had a nice warm welcome." Astrid grinned up at her, putting across the point that she was joking. Erin was always a dark person quick to jump to anger, so she was fun to tease.
Some of the campers were breaking up and heading to their separate cabins. Astrid would leave the swords if any of the others wanted to pick them and and then take the rest when she headed back for her cabin. Seeing Nick standing by Syleste, she waved to him and walked over. "Hey Nick, how did your project go? You were down in the basement for eeeever!" She leaned over and rested on the side of his chair, hoping he didn't mind. While Astrid had practically memorized every stone and twig in the entire camp, she still had a hard time judging people. Nick seemed like a cool guy though. Plus he was her brother so they were kind of stuck together.
Turning towards Syleste she continued her ADD driven rambling, "Syleste, I see that you are already hitting on the new campers. Fuckin' classic. I swear if I didn't know you better I would call you an Aphrodite child." She stood and moved next to Syleste, "Though between you and me, I'd say it's better that your not." Astrid's eyes fell on the rose in her hands, "A rose! How sweet of him. Tell me, was he an Aphrodite. You know how cheesy those fuzz brains are."

Woohoo!
Name: Astrid Bones
Alias/ Nickname (If Any): Red, Blaze, Singe, Kindle
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Cabin: Cabin Nine, Hephaestus
Appearance (Prefer Picture):
Family:
Godly Parent: Ἡφαιστος - Hephaestus; God of fire, metalworking, stone-masonry & the art of sculpture.
Human Parent: N/A
Legacy: N/A
General Information
Personality: Astrid is a bubbly excited person. She loves talking to other people when she is around them. Mostly this is due to her slight ADD. The only time the she can ever completely stop talking to people and focus completely on something is when she is building something or programming. While a few people find her constant talking it is hard for her to find something she doesn't like in someone. One of the reasons that Astrid is so outgoing and talkative is because she is lonely. She has never truly been with someone and feels that she is missing out on her life
Likes: fire, tinkering, working with other people, programming
Dislikes: things not working, dirty tools, not having control, her ADD
Talents: programming, surprisingly this has come in handy being a child of Hephaestus
Biography: Astrid was raised in camp. When Astrid was very young she was left in a basket inside the border of Camp Half-Blood. The campers knew that she must have been one of them because she was inside their gates, but they had no idea who she was and how exactly she had gotten there. They named her Astrid.
Growing up in Camp Half-Blood was very different from any other place. She never got to go to school, nor the movies with friends, or even play sports. Throughout her life she spent her time doing online classes and switching between cabins. As she was so young no one could tell exactly which cabin she would fit in, so every year she switched to a new one to see if maybe it would "call to her."
By the time Astrid was 9 she knew that the cabin for her was cabin 9. The glowing forges and dangerously sharp weapons seemed to call to her. The campers living there adopted her and raised her as their own. They taught her all sorts of different skills. She got burnt, scratched, and stabbed under their instruction, but never ceased to be interested.
When everyone else went back to school, Astrid stayed in camp. She worked the forge, and designed countless projects. She quickly became one of the best forger in the camp. Plus all her time on the computer allowed for Astrid to develop a new way of tinkering. A more computer oriented direction. Astrid might have become Cabin Counselor if Nick had not arrived, but she was not really interested in leading.

Weapon Information
Weapon Name: Cinder
Weapon Type: Spear
Weapon Appearance: Cinder
Attributes: Forged completely of Stygian Iron, Cinder is a weapon of swift destruction. It is light weight and perfectly balanced at the grip. Beneath the head of the spear are small vents that can emit a certain amount of fire for a period of time. This can be used as a sort of defense, lighter, or even a torch.
Other
Other: Hope that my background is okay. I know that it is different from the standard "Stumbled into Camp Half-Blood having no idea what this place was and not believing in gods," but I think it adds a cool twist. Also are Hephaestus kids allowed to use the power of fire? I don't mean full on body covered in fire, just a small spark?

[Edit double post failure]
Astrid woke with a start, sitting straight up in her bed. She immediately regretted it as pain flared through her shoulder. Tears sprang out of the corners of her eyes and angrily she shoved them away. Crying was below her, that was from her past life. Now she was tough and strong. Without her father to control she could be who ever she wanted. And that wouldn't be a stupid little girl crying about a little pain in her shoulder.
Kicking off the sheets covering her bed Astrid struggled out of bed. Her foot caught in one of the folds of the sheets, however, and caused her to tumble over herself getting out. One of her feet still attached to the bed, her face and shoulder fell towards the ground. To any outsider this act would have looked comical, but as Astrid's shoulder hit the ground her eyes when white with pain. The tips of her fingers tingled with sensation and her shoulder was blinding fire. Letting out a muffled scream, Astrid brazenly cursed out loud, "Mother fucker!" She lay her head down on the ground breathing deeply.
Suddenly her head moved up thinking about what she had just said. "Mother fucker." She repeated starting to giggle. Swearing was such a new and taboo thing for her in her past life that doing it with out consequence seemed hilarious. Swearing to herself between fits of laughs Astrid stayed in her position head on the ground, foot trapped in the bed covers. She soon forgot about the pain in her shoulder as the laughing shook over her body.
