Name:
Oliver Yue

Age:
17

Parents:
Hecate

Personality:
Oliver is generally a pretty quiet sort of guy who prefers to observe things from the side rather than actively participate. It's not that he doesn't enjoy group activities, or any of that sort of more loud and involved activities (like Capture the Flag, for instance), it's just that he happens to operate at a pace that's slower than the norm around Camp Half-Blood. He strolls rather than walk, his pace always languid and at ease. He enjoys being surrounded by his fellow camp-mates, but would much prefer to sit on the grass and read a book.

However, that is not to say that he's antisocial. On the contrary, Oliver is a very easy person to talk to, and has quite a cheeky sense of humour. He'll gladly practice sword-fighting or archery or the like, but not without a good push (or literal drag away from his damn book).

He can sometimes take things too easy, and is generally difficult to faze - which has annoyed people before. With a very go-with-the-flow attitude, he isn't competitive at all and doesn't appear to have much of a drive to do anything very productive.

History:
Oliver's father was a traditional Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist, which often struck Oliver as kind of a weird choice of mate when he learnt that his mother was Hecate. But, after much consideration, he figured it wasn't all that surprising. All that mixing of strange herbs and animal parts, the talks about energies and the like - they all seemed right up his mom's alley in some way. Either way, Oliver was never all too bothered by it. He'd grown up as a normal kid, going to school and the like, always seeming to ace Chemistry, funny enough. He struggled in school, and would much prefer help his Dad out in their herb store in the middle of Chinatown, weighing out appropriate amounts of herbs, grinding them up into fine powders and prescribing them to customers.

When he turned fifteen, his Dad finally saw it time for him to learn of his true heritage, after realizing that conventional public school wasn't going to do his son any favours. Apparently, Hecate had left some instructions to his Dad, who then followed those instructions and carted him off to Camp Half-Blood.

Prior to arriving at Camp Half-Blood, Oliver had never encountered anything magical - which was probably thanks to his mother's less-than-major status amongst the Olympians, so he found himself caught up in some sort of a culture shock upon arrival. But even that shock only lasted a week or so before he found himself feeling more at home than anywhere else. He immediately perused the library, reading up as much as he could about his new life, his mother and, of course, what powers he was apparently born with.

Specialties/Talents:
Magical Potion Brewing
Control of the Mist
Archery

Other:
He really enjoys using his powers to prank people more than any actual serious, practical use. Contemplating starting an underground business of selling his home-made line of "elixirs".

Daniel is as goth and emo as you'll get. Having the god of inevitability as your dad can really have that effect. He is completely anti-social, therefore comes across as rude. However, at heart he is a nice person with a lot om his mind. He will always try his hardest at any activity that's put in front of him, and is, at worst, mediocre at almost anything.

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 she's 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. 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, 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, that doesn't always work out for her unfortunately. She's 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 cheerful but, even then, she's quite closed up.

Name: Penelope Le Faye

Age:
14

Parents:
Erin le Faye
Hades

Personality
She’s a little bit dark in her outlook on life - not a pessimist, but more realistic in the bleaker aspects of life. Growing up picked on by other kids more for the fact she lived next to a cemetery than her ‘peculiar’ nature of finding beauty in death, she has a little bit of a chip on her shoulder and didn’t actively seek socialization with other kids for quite some time. Communicating with others comes at a bit of difficulty for her because of this, and tends to make her a little hostile upon first approach. She prefers to be alone with Shadow, but will - reluctantly - work with others when the need arises. In such cases, although she may not be happy about working with others, she does work well with them and follows directions easily, even offering advice depending on the situation.

She is quick thinking, though not always the best ideas. It’s more working on instinct over actual planning, but it kept her alive thus far. If given the chance, she does prefer to sit back and study a situation to figure out her best tactic; doing so helps prevent her from going with her gut reaction to assume the worst and react hostilely. Getting a sarcastic or snippy response tends to be the best reaction she tends to give nine times out of ten.


She’s only been at camp for one month at this point.

Other:
She has a hell hound named Shadow that is roughly the size of a springer spaniel; she knows it’s a puppy and believes what she was told - that it is a rottweiler (she had never seen a real rottweiler so she doesn’t know the difference.)

She has a dagger, not magical aside from it being stygian iron, that she keeps in its sheath on her back.

As her mother and uncle were born in Ireland and grew up - for a decent amount anyways - in Ireland, she picked up their accent and still maintains the softest Irish lilt, which does get a lot stronger when frustrated.

Name: Erik Penderghast

Age: 18

Parents:
Kaylee Penderghast
Ares

Personality:
First and foremost, he’s a cocky bastard. That’s not to say he’s not a nice guy or thoughtful, but he is arrogant when it comes to a lot of things, and most things turn into a competition for him. Most times he’s looking for something fun to do, which can typically involves flirting or picking fights or pulling pranks/being a hooligan or even all of them at the same time. He loves to laugh and socialize and be the center of attention. He has a short attention span if something boring is going on - worse than most demigods really - and is prone to wandering off in search of something more interesting to do.

Following that up, he’s a massive flirt, looking to chat it up with pretty much anything female. Even though he’s a flirt, he has a massive respect for women - often called the worst kind of sexist by his sisters since he will more often than not just jump into the defense of a female he believes to be in distress rather than assess the situation and see if she really does need help. Believing himself silver-tongued, he thinks fast on his feet and could generally talk his way into, out of, or through any situation - if he wanted to. Though generally suave and sometimes sophisticated, there are plenty of times times when his desire for fun gets the best of him and he ends up in a bad situation, which is generally more fun for him.

Despite all of this, he is fiercely defensive of his friends and will drop what he’s doing (even mid-activity) to go help a friend out. At times like that, he puts on his serious face and will do anything in his power to make his friend happy/help (or go beat the s**t out of whomever made his friend unhappy.) He might not be the smartest person, barely managing a C average in school (aside from gym), but he certainly is loyal and knows enough to listen to any plans presented him before acting. This doesn’t mean he actually uses any of them, but he will usually listen. Fighting, and making split second decisions on how to best instruct someone else in a fight, are in his blood after all.

History:
Erik grew up the youngest of three and the only boy. Thanks to looking mostly like his mom no one ever knew about the infidelity when she ended up having a one night stand after a particularly bad argument between her and her husband; Daniel was getting frustrated with what he called an over attentive nature toward her superior officer that seemed a bit more than just trying to do a good job. No one was the wiser, as they had always wanted a son, and it actually helped bring their relationship closer. She didn’t cheat anymore, and requested a transfer to a different base. This started their family getting bounced from one base to another almost every year (not literally, but that’s how it felt.)

Since they moved a bit when Erik was younger, there weren’t many problems from monsters, mostly just problems from him starting fights with other kids. When they finally did settle down when he was seven, he seemed to have been walking around with a target on his back. He lucked into defeating a few, thanks to his abilities and having picked up how to fight here and there from fights he picked/got into with other kids. It didn’t stop the monsters from coming, but before he could really figure out how much of a danger his family was in a satyr found him. The satyr brought him to camp for the summer, and upon arriving he called up his parents and explained everything. That was when he was nine. He didn’t even get claimed until he was eleven, despite the signs being there. Ever since he was nine he has been coming to camp for the summer. Three summers ago, he won the position of Ares Cabin Head and has maintained it for the past two years.

Specialties/Talents:
Excels at martial combat using nearly any weapon, as well as a wide variety of hand to hand combat styles.

He can transform any metal object, or existing weapon (examples: a wooden sword or a bow) into a weapon of his choosing; it will stay transformed for as long as he holds it, or as long as he concentrates on keeping it a weapon should he decide to throw it. Objects remain the material of which they are made, but take on a magical (celestial bronze) quality to them due to the nature of the transformation, allowing them to slay monsters. Although he can use this ability during a fight, it will add to how tired he is after the fight and the drain starts to wear at his energy/adrenaline levels the more he ends up doing it during a fight.

During a fight, the only thing there is for him is the fight; injuries become easily ignored and his strength grows greatly so long as his adrenaline is pumping hard. This only lasts for as long as the fight goes on, he finally must succumb to his injuries (such as being knocked unconscious), or his adrenaline has faded. After his adrenaline fades, he hits a major crash and all the energy used for fighting and all the injuries he ignored to fight become overly pronounced with all the consequences of fighting with an injury; usually this leaves him barely able to move when fighting through injury, and even barely conscious if combined with transforming his weapon more than once.

Other:
Give him names, dates, or facts to remember - and he’ll forget most of them immediately. It takes him a bit to remember a name when it’s someone he doesn’t have immediate regular contact with (i.e. his half-brothers and sisters); that’s why he assigns people nicknames based on a specific quality a person has. Once he does know someone’s real name, he tends to continue using the nickname, unless he really needs the person to do something/needs their attention. (If you have a request for a nickname Erik will call your character, please feel free to make it. Otherwise, we’ll make one up.)

Name: Laurence Evans
Age: 17
Parents:
Mother - Ares
Mother - Julianne "Julie" Evans



Laurence is unusual for a child of Ares. While most would think a child of Ares to be cruel, short tempered, and violent; Laurence himself seemingly defies those views. His entire being is about control. He restrains his naturally violence and cruel tendencies, often coming off as cold and indifferent rather than burning and vengeful. Though he fights with the same strength and ferocity as his siblings, he is calm and level headed in the middle of battle. He often conflicts with his half siblings, with them telling him to get his stick out of his ass, and him telling them to stop promulgating stereotypes.

Stemming from his tight emotional control, Laurence is also some what emotionally constipated. He has few friends among the camp, mostly due to him distancing himself from most of the other campers. He often is seen, when not beating the shit out of something in the arena, talking with the satyr who brought him to the camp. He also dislikes it when people try to pry into his life. He plays his cards close to his chest, and any attempts to force him to reveal them is met with a scowl and a glare so fierce that his eyes appear catch fire. This is followed by a feeling of rising temperatures, before he closes his eyes and calms himself. This extends also to anyone who tries to pry into other peoples' lives, and notably despises gossip.

The way Laurence releases his pent up aggression and emotions is through physical activity, so he is often seen performing exhaustive exercises the entire day. It also lends him the image of a battle junkie, since he spends so much time in the sparring arena. His style is a seeming whirlwind of metal and limbs, a hurricane in motion, always in motion. This is where his parentage shows through, whether he is skewering a dummy on his spear, whirling around to break the neck of another with his heavy shield, or throwing a fellow demigod on the wrestling mat.

Staff Sergerant Julianne "Julie" Evans, callsign MACHO (Man in A CHick's bOdy), caught the attention of Ares after being shot down during a mission. Her tenacity and toughness drew the god of war to the women. After she was rescued, Ares seduced the married women. Nine months, a divorce, and a discharge later, Laurence was born. The first time he proved he was his father's son was at his birth, when his powers caused a fist fight to happen in the room between the doctor and a nurse. These bouts of violence only increased in frequency and, well, violence. In turn, Laurence reined in his emotions to control his powers to make sure no one else would get hurt. This lead him to be expelled from many schools, as well as him and his mother being kicked out of many homes for irritating the owners and drawing violence. Even when firmly in control, his power still seeps through effecting those around him, save for his mother who is the only mortal he knows who is unaffected by it.

The first time Laurence can remember of ever being different was when in his first grade year, when he instigated a brawl in the lunchroom when another child had started bullying him for his ADHD and dyslexia. He started crying, and the bully in turn punched him in the face. The issue was further aggravated when the adults were also affected by the power and joined the brawl. The event was suppressed, but that was the first time Laurence can remember him ever using any of his powers.

He came to Camp Halfblood when his was 10, after being sent their under the guise of community service by his anger management counselor, a satyr. He made a name for himself as a child of Ares that didn't act like one. His half-siblings really didn't know what to make of him, and so treated him how they treated everyone; roughly. He rose among his siblings, distinguishing himself for his levelheadedness and his combat ability. He doesn't attend full time, coming back every summer and winter break, but he acts as a set of eyes and ears for the camp during the school year.

- Extensive Combat Ability: As a child of Ares, he is naturally skilled in all manners of combat. He has a natural inclination and instinct to fighting, mastering skills and styles in record time. He personally leans towards a spear and shield, but is just as capable in swordsmanship and martial arts. This also extends to him being able to analyze and dissect his opponent's fighting style, finding weaknesses and allowing him to map out his moves many steps ahead.

- Telumkinesis: Laurence has the ability to manipulate weapons. Clarisse had the ability to turn arrows to rubber for instance. Laurence's are a little bit more subtle, like adding a little too much stress to a bow string to cause it to snap, dulling the edge of a sword enough to allow him to safely grab it and wrench it from his enemies hands, or even causing jams in firearms that prevent their usage.

- Odikinesis: The ability to manipulate feelings and emotions of war (i.e. Hate, Rage, Spite). Though most children of Are have this ability to a slight degree, Laurence's ability is such to a degree to incite violent riots from even the most minimal of resentment. His powers do nothing if there are no negative feelings, but will aggravate stress, annoyance and other minor feelings into full blown rage if left unchecked.

-Meditation and emotional control techiniques- A means to rein in his powers, Laurence is quite familiar with ways to control his emotions, often being sent to emotional counseling due to them.
