Here we will teach you the basics of being a Demigod, provide you with a better understanding of all Deities, cover general studies so you do not forget you are still mortal, and prepare you for Higher Education, where you are given hands-on assignments and missions. It is in our responsibility to make sure you do not embarrass your godly parent but also prove your greatness by protecting the realm. You will be given a Higher Education mentor, where you will be allowed to be their assistant on missions. You will not be allowed to take on the challenge yourself. You will not be given credit on partaking in missions with your mentor or "Big Brother/Sister", but you will be evaluated by them, which will effect your overall grade.
You are of the age to start deeply learning about yourself and specializing in the abilities that your godly parent has bestowed upon you. We will not cater to your needs, for you are an adult. Along with continuing your mortal studies, since that is an ever growing subject, each year prior to your first day, we will test your aptitude. Based on your academic scores, we will rank you and place you in a class of your level for each subject. These ranks are as followed: α (Alpha), β (Beta), and γ (Gamma). For example, some of you are far more of an intellect than an athlete. Your class for Gym could be level Gamma while your class for "Becoming A Diplomat: How To Sway, Bargain, and Assure Your Friend or Foe" could be level Alpha. This will tell us what we must do to give you the education you need. We will also have an Events Board and a Missions Board. On the Events board, you will see hosted club affairs, competitions, and other school-related things. You are allowed to put flyers and posters on the Events Board, once you are cleared by the Student Council President. The Missions Board will exhibit Challenges that you and your peers can take on to advance as a Demigod. They will be leveled by one star, two stars, three stars, and four. The more stars there are, the harder the challenge. Some missions may only need one person, other missions may need a party. Four Star missions are the only challenges that will not give you a supervisor. You are responsible for your own life and by taking on a Four Star mission, you are allowing yourself to challenge your capabilities beyond compare and risk your life. You may sign up for a mission and within that day, you will receive an email on whether or not you have been accepted to embark on that journey. You may also decide whether or not you want to take your "Little Brother/Sister" with you.
Fifth Years (20 - 21) | 2 Males - _ Females
Skye Woodsen (20) - Aphrodite's Son - N/A - 0c85a3 - FC: Lucky Blue Smith
There's no doubt that Ceil was given looks from her heartbreaker father. With dark brown hair with added red highlights, she's a gorgeous, blossoming flower that can make many people smile, especially because of how carefree she comes across. Young and filled with exuberant expressions, she stands at 5'3", weighs 125 lbs, and her frame is relatively slender. Though, one can tell the days she eats more versus the days she only consumes fruit and a granola bar. Rumor has it that her beauty resides in her striking and colorful eyes. Some people think they are green, others see hazel, and then occasionally people bare witness to a dance of gold and amber in her orbs. She likes to keep the true nature of her eyes a mystery. There's one thing people do become certain of and that is, when she uses her powers, they glow thunderous violet.
Regardless if she's aware or not, her undeniably alluring eyes, wide and vast like the skies her father rules, and her seemingly naive and happy-go-lucky demeanor are what draw men in, for better or for worse. She is the spitting image of her mother, with a face that makes her look a lot younger than what she is and an attitude that can be questioned as insane. It doesn't help that her playful personality makes people underestimate her and treat her like a child. When she gets angry or serious, her nose wrinkles up. Sometimes she's the cutest thing in the world, other times she aggressively sexy. Individuals have called her a tease before, even if she's simply being a loving friend. Most days she wears clear contacts due to her nearsightedness, but she does wear red glasses that bring out her fair, olive skin tone when she's far too lazy to put her contacts on. Her heart is on her sleeves and and it shows in her eyes, her face, and her actions. Truly, she personifies the bright, morning sky, but never forget who her father is, for Cecily can be a radiance in your life or a catastrophic storm causing you to get lost at sea.
| Clothing Style |
Conventional, comfortable, and a tad bit eccentric are terms that would best describe Ceil's wardrobe. She sports casual wear that emulates the fact that she doesn't really give a fuck what society finds acceptable or not. Most people put far too much thought into their outfits when she simply wants to mix shit up occasionally. Oddly enough, she makes outfits that shouldn't work, work, because her smile and painted confidence is what brings her ensembles together. Honestly, if she can, she would wear yoga pants, a t-shirt, a sweater, and have her hair up in a messy bun. Perfect for strenuous activity or to cuddle up against someone. This doesn't mean Ceil doesn't know how to be fashionable and dress 'hot as fuck'. On the contrary, when she is in the mood to go 'all out' she always surpasses people's expectations. Those are the days she puts far too much time and effort into every little piece of her look. She'll primarily do this when she wants to grab a guy's attention.
| Quirks/Oddities/Habits |
✦ Daydreams - a lot. Dazing out in classes or while she's alone resting. ✦ Without some kind of caffeinated beverage, she is the walking dead. She is not a morning person. ✦ Has anxiety habits like rubs her hands on her legs absentmindedly to feel the friction on her pants, clicks her pen, or soundlessly taps or traces her finger on a surface. ✦ She doesn't know if she has a high metabolism or just loves to eat - probably both. For a tiny person, sometimes she can eat far more than her guy friends. ✦ Scary competitive and a massive sore loser.

▲ These drinks: Coffee, Green Tea, Redbull, Monsters, Rockstars, Wine, Margaritas, Cherry Coke, Root beer float, Water ▲ The act of eating and food (Chocolate and sweets lover, but also is a big fan of salmon, sushi, and chicken parm!), even though she needs to watch her figure or her mortal mother will point out she's gaining weight... ▲ Zumba, singing and dancing while cleaning, dancing in general even though she really just acts like a silly dork on the dance floor ▲ Writing (Poetry and stories) ▲ Games! More so board and interactive games. She doesn't hate video games she just prefers party games! Oh, drinking games are especially fun~ ▲ Animals, specifically pugs (polar bears, owls). ▲ Napping (maybe with someone else...) ▼ Mint chocolate chip ice cream and eggplant. ▼ Extremely fitting clothes - like skinny dresses that wrap around her body. ▼ People misconstruing her words and underestimating her. ▼ Her erratic emotions. ▼ Losing her worn out bear she's had since she was a child. It's her comfort item. ▼ People rubbing in her face that they won a game - that will unleash her fury. ▼ Lairs, there's too many in the world. In a sense, she can be seen as a lair because she constantly lies to herself - she's has an ongoing battle of insecurities for various reasons.
| Fears |
✖ Being used and abused, over and over again. ✖ Never being good enough for her father, herself, her friends, and her significant other. ✖ Not being there for the people she cares about - being too late - not being able to help them with their problems. ✖ Pushing the people that make her the happiest away. She's earnest about loving them but when she gets emotional, Ceil does do irrational things and that may include hurting the people she loves. ✖ Her vivid nightmares.
The daughter of Zeus is a walking contradiction. Her personality is truly hard to pin point because she's all over the place and great at molding herself with different people (like a chameleon). She's a people pleaser through and through, putting their well being first before her own. Ceil is the type of person who will wake up late at night to your phone call and make sure she's there for you. If you need to see a friend ASAP, no problem. She'll find a way to meet you somewhere, even if that means she has to drop her own obligations. People say she has a wise mind like her father, but also harbors his carefree nature, which leads to her stumbling into dangerous situations. The one thing that she will never relate to when it comes to Zeus (or so she thinks) is his need to jump from lover to lover. Most people that do not know her have a hard time believing she's as loyal as Hera - even to levels where she'll go scary lengths for you.
From being a rather silly person, who enjoys life and comes off as a geeky dork, she can also be fairly intimate. Nearly all the bonds she makes reaches people's hearts because of how supportive she is and the mere fact that she listens, wholeheartedly. Her father knows this will take a toll on her, but she must learn from her mistakes and therefore, he refuses to warn her of her folly. There's only so much she can do for her loved ones. What about focusing on getting her shit together and becoming the leader that she's meant to be?
Due to her sheltered upbringing her mortal parent gave her (which Zeus didn't necessarily agree with but it was far too menial for him to deal with), Ceil never really learned where to draw the line with how she treats men. All those she brings in her life, she treats like family, which may come across as misleading intimacy. At school, her friends have called her a tease because of how 'friendly' she was and just look at who her father is (yeah, snap judgments at it's finest). She doesn't know how she does it, but all her guy friends, even if they're taken, start crushing on her. Her self worth isn't the best because her father unintentionally points out her flaws (constantly), his high and low expectations of her, her own paranoia, and ultimately just being in self denial. People tell her she is beautiful, but time after time, she convinces herself they're just saying it to make her feel better. Even with all the inner sadness she carries, she is a joy to be around with. Ceil is the girl that smiles and makes sure everyone is happy, but when it comes to dealing with her own issues, she's a hot mess, usually resorting to alcohol so she doesn't have to think about it (yet, it always does the opposite effect). It doesn't help that everyone thinks she holds a lot of father's negative traits. Her father is a canny, cavalier, and carefree man, but he's also the scumbag of the universe and the vainest god you'll ever meet. Don't get her wrong, she loves her father but let's be honest, he's not the greatest guy - far from it.
| Background |
Conceived and raised in the ghetto of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Cecily's mother had Chinese, Dutch, and Polynesian descent, while her father was a god. Not just any god. The King of gods. Her mother was rather young when she gave birth to her. It seemed like Zeus saw a beautiful woman and wooed her until he could give her a taste of his sweet nectar. Ceil's mother did have a thing for troublesome men. Who would have expected she'd carry the child of the icon of those men? Zeus found out about the pregnancy and hoped for a son, but at last, life was never ideal and his mistress gave him a daughter. To say he was disappointed was an understatement.
The woman with hardly anything to her name could not afford to raise the child on her own so she begged Zeus to take the child, give his baby girl a life that she could not. Zeus had other plans in mind. Instead of taking in the sweet infant of his, who resembled her mother tremendously, he gave the woman a promise. He promised he'd watch over her from afar but would not make any contact with her until the demigod was ready. He gave his mistress an ultimatum, she would keep his child and raise her to his likeness, for he could only acknowledge strong leaders as his own, and in return he would give her food, shelter, and clothing to wear. He would provide her and his child stability. When the time came for him to take Cecily, he'd offer his mistress 'paradise'.
That was not what the mother wanted to hear. She hated herself for letting another man, a GOD, take advantage of her and give her no choice in her own life, but she knew that anything with his blood would be precious to him. No one says no to Zeus, especially someone of her level. However, instead of teaching her daughter everything about her father (instead of painting him in a brilliant light), Ceil's mother expanded the little one's mind, making her far more open minded to possibilities. She believed even a kind and forgiving person could be a grand ruler. To her benefit, Zeus was a man with many distractions and allowed his mistress to shelter the girl and mold her to a image she deemed fit. Without a doubt, this child would be conflicted when it came to being the two people her parents wanted her to be and finding herself. Her explorations was limited to school and books.
Attending a grade school filled with mortals was not the most pleasant experiences for Cecily, since she was bullied for many different reasons. The fact that she allowed herself to get bullied furthered Zeus' disappointment and lack of faith in her capabilities of following his footsteps. Her mother transferred her to a religious middle school and then put her in an all girls' highschool, where her daughter could be herself and not be distracted by the unrefined kids and the savage-like men. This decision led to Cecily being a rather hopeless romantic, where she drowned herself in romance everything. The best romances were the ones that seemed so hard to achieve. Perhaps one day, she would find a transcendental love. A love that overcame all obstacles, no matter how much misery life threw at them.
One day, when she was walking home, a boy took notice of the beautiful demi god. That was the moment she realized that boys liked her, especially when he decided to pursue her. His intentions were purely based on her nativity or so that's what Cecily wanted him to believe. She wasn't dumb but it seemed like others liked her when she acted a certain way, most guys she met like oblivious and innocent girls, her close girl friends like someone that carried more confidence than them, and her father wanted someone who achieved, won, and led. Growing up and watching your main role model get used and abused by men gave Ceil some preparation for the darkness of the world, but that didn't stop her from wanting to feel loved. Unfortunately, like her mother, her luck with men sucked, but that is a story for later.
On her 16th birthday, while she walked the grounds of her high school, Zeus noticed that his daughter was getting praised for her achievements but also that her powers were getting out of hand - it was time to teach her how to control what he gave her. He offered her an opportunity of her life, or well, she didn't really have a choice in the matter. He told her she was going to transfer to Olympus Academy (which unlike mortal school, started at the age of 16). Although her relationship with her father was distant, he having visited her a couple of times in her childhood, constantly making her feel less sufficient (unknowingly), Ceil felt that this was her chance to make him happy, to make him proud. Her mother was against it because once again, Zeus would win - Zeus always won, but Cecily needed to do this. She needed a change and... she needed her father to look at her with love. You can say, the Merrick girl was and still is searching for her father's love in other men. None of them being able to handle who she was - all jumping ship before it got too deep. But now, at Olympus, she can show him that she is his daughter and that she will go the distance to achieve his will - sorta, it's a work in progress. Now that she is 21, still battling her anxiety, she plans to make major leaps so her father truly acknowledges her as his daughter and not some child who lets people and her powers get the best of her.

Hades is bae
| Godly Parent |
Zeus, the presiding deity of the universe, ruler of the skies and the earth. He is the god of all natural phenomena on the sky and is the personification of the laws of nature. The ruler of the state and the father of gods and men.
| Relationship With Godly Parent |
Cecily never feels good enough for her father and along with the constant sharp words he gives her to add to her poor self esteem, he is a proud man and only expects greatness. He expects so much of her, yet shows very little in return. He's acknowledges her when she brings home a medal, but when she doesn't give him anything to boast about... his cold stare brings shivers up her spine.
| Godly Abilities |
Strongest ability:
Electrokinesis - The ability to mentally and/or physically manipulate and control electric currents and static electricity. Ceil can summon lightning, electricity, or even make a static shock powerful. She can electrify her weapons in order to make it more effective, causing a high damage attack. She is given resistance to electricity (she can still hurt, but it just takes a lot to kill her by what's she's made of). Extra: She has yet to call to the skies and bring lightning down on her foes. She did do it once, when she was irrationally angry but... that doesn't count.
The ability she is currently practicing:
Aerokinesis - The elemental ability to create and control and manipulate the air and wind in a variety of offensive or defensive ways.
Weakest ability:
Atmoskinesis - Weather manipulation, where one can control and manipulate the various forms and aspects of the weather itself.
Flaw:
Power of strength is influenced by her emotion, her focus, and willingness to take a risk. Her insecurities affect her genetic pattern, which makes her powers heavily sporadic and dangerous.
Standing at 5'4" and weighing 110 pounds, Lissie has a slim built and is as free spirited as they come. Her hair is platinum blonde and rarely up, since she likes her long locks when they're dancing with the wind. Occasionally, when she is in the mood, since everything depends on her mood, she will put her hair up for funsies (not because she's trying to impress someone). Her eyes are a gorgeous baby blue with a hint of light green, depending on the lighting.
When staring at her, one would not think she's the daughter of Hecate, for Lissie comes across as far more innocent and angelic-like. Most people forget one of Hecate's titles are: Mother of Angels. But look-wise, everyone would presume the Goddess of the Moon would have a child of dark hair. Lissie's adopted mother would even 'doll' her up because of how big her eyes were and how her skin resembled that of porcelain. The young girl's mortal father died when she was only a child and although she never physically met her godly parent, Lissie knows Hecate is watching over her. Without a doubt, her godly mother treasures her precious little dove. If it wasn't for her mother, she wouldn't have received mysterious parcels with items she holds dear to her to this day.
Her attitude is that of a playful, vibrant child who just wants to enjoy herself, while harnessing her abilities and that shows in her appearance. Rarely do you see her and think something is wrong since she's full of brightness beyond anyone else - always smiling, laughing, and warming others hearts just by being herself.
| Clothing Style |
Being raised by various different types of people, Lissie has obtained a couple of distinct clothing styles, Bohemian chic and sophisticated high-class. Her second family consisted of Gypsies and thieves, while her third family was formal, wealthy, and let a monotheistic religion influence their lives heavily - even though Lissie was living proof that the Greek gods and goddesses existed. She prefers the color palettes of light and dark. A fair amount of her summer dresses are lighter in shade while her clothes provided by her religious family consist of black. Both suit her in her opinion, since she has distinct features that these colors bring out. When she discovered that one of her parents was Hecate, the goddess of Witchcraft, Lissie took it upon herself to wear darker clothes and truly represent her godly mother. With that being said, she will wear her flowing dresses when she's simply enjoying herself and the nature around her - especially since those clothes are far more comfortable than some of her more conservative outfits. Hell, she's changed outside in the woods from one outfit to the next just so she can walk barefoot in the mud and dance around a bonfire.
| Quirks/Oddities/Habits |
✦ Extremely expressive - She's mute, so it makes sense. ✦ Communicates through gestures and drawings. ✦ If she is intrigued - she will go through great lengths to follow her curiosity. ✦ Draws - a lot. ✦ Doesn't mind getting dirty - she's a nature girl at heart.

In an ideal world, maybe Felicity would be normal. Maybe she wouldn't have experienced what she did and maybe she wouldn't have had a life filled with struggle - but life was never ideal. And she was okay with that. Between the years of 14 to 16, Lissie got in a potion brewing accident that did a lot more damage than she truly realizes. It doesn't help that her familiar Ike has not told her that some days she just isn't the same Lissie. Magic can lead to dangerous things especially when you do not have a mentor to teach you half the shit you're doing. This accident led to Lissie having an alter ego (or what we call today, multiple personalities disorder). She only has two and honestly, she doesn't know which one she is more like. Her Aurora side or her Neomah side. Well, she doesn't even know she comes across as two different people. Somewhere in her brain shuts off when Neomah is triggered and whether or not she remembers what is going on, is beyond her. Aurora is her kinder, softer side. The young girl who is playful and just wants to embrace life to the fullest, while Neomah is a creepier, less forgiving side. She becomes a woman, who would go lengths to achieve what she desires - not caring if she puts others in harm's way. Honestly, Felicity can't say, because at the end of the day she is just Lissie and has no idea she has two personalities battling in her inside. Her angel and her demon. It's hard to tell those two sides apart if you're not close to her. Neomah isn't dumb and knows how to put on an act, so it's noticing the faint differences that may help others in the long run.
| Background |
Change is inevitable. Change is something we must experience and accept, for it is important for us to release the past, those things that are hindering our growth, and to accept change. Felicity has had time to read in abundance about her mother, who encouraged her people to let go of what was familiar and to travel into the scary places of one's soul. To say Lissie didn't have a sad, unfortunate life, would be a lie, for most people would not want to continue after experiencing what she went through - but because of her journey, which was never an easy one, she's grown spiritually and feels more in tuned with Hecate.
The fates giveth and taketh away.
Krasimir Dimitrov, a good man, with Bulgarian descent was a survivor of the Bosnian genocide. Do you know how it feels for a peaceful country to descend into an inescapable cage of violence, and so unexpectedly? In Southeastern Europe, Yogoslavia thrived off of Communism until it collapsed in 1991. Krasimir resided in Bulgaria at the time, which was filled with different ethnic groups who've spent many years, since the days of Rome, killing each other. Once the dictator passed on, all the factions (Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks) turned on each other. Krasimir was simply a man with blood that many did not like. The moment things fell apart - nowhere was safe. You could be killed by a life long neighbor (who perhaps, you thought was a friend). It didn't help that the Serbs dominated the police force. Let's just say many Muslims and Croats were sent to death camps and you know where that leads to...
Serbs butchered everyone who wasn't of their kind and the camps led to the massacre of well over 10,000 people (regardless of age or gender). While the Holocaust was done by German soldiers and policemen, more often than not the men were strangers, but the Bosnian genocide was committed by neighbors and coworkers. Sadly, as things go, the bad guys got away with murder and the people who lost so much, just wanted to forget. They needed to forget.
Krasimir somehow survived and found hope in Hecate. He was in a dark place and lost all of his dear loved ones including his wife and children. How was he a guardian of his household if he let his entire family die? He begged for his life to end. He wanted to crush his body and lungs with a rock while laying in the nearby river, squeezing the very breath out of him while being filled with a rush of water. Before he got the chance to, the beautiful Hecate appeared before him. Stories said she was old and horrendous, yet here she was standing before him - fair as ever (and immensely mysterious). She saw in him dedication, heart, and heart-wrenching pain. She saw his need for flaming torches during his cold, lonely nights. The gods and goddesses could not control humanity, they can only see what is to come. He learned from this incomprehensible being that this was only a transition in his life, which would help him grow to be a better man. Within time, while he moved to Macedonia, she made a true and devout follower out of him and in return, he gave her a daughter.
He named his healthy child Felicity, or great happiness, for he hoped this child would fill his empty void in his life and she did. The bright bundle of joy, for four beautiful years, gave her father a reason to live. To this day, Felicity still remembers the lullabies her father use to sing to her. He spent those years reading to her books about her mother, so that his daughter would know who provided both of them a chance for happiness. Along with the pure bliss of being a father once more, he gained a yearning to see Hecate again but no matter how much he called her - she never returned. As long as he had his beautiful daughter, Krasimir would not let sadness or fear rule his life. That was until one night, a group of people ambushed his home. It seemed that the remnants of the genocide and his past followed him to his new home.
Quickly, he hid her under the floor board of the bedroom which had a peephole on it. He told her, "Don't you dear say a word" and she wondered what was going on. She heard the rushing of men with heavy boots and the loud roar exiting their lips. What they were saying... she didn't understand. It was fast. Too fast. She listened to her father being forced to kneel down and him pleading for them to spare him. His hands rose up - surrendering and offering to give them whatever they wanted. She saw the gun move toward his head and then... and then.. her eyes widened as he dropped over the peephole and blood dripped down. Covering her mouth, her blue eyes welling up, her father's blood dripping on her face, and her stomach churning on the inside, she could not let a scream out. Felicity couldn't let anything out.
From this day on, she would be known as a mute.
After the execution of Felicity's father, the next morning friends of her father came to visit and found something they didn't expect. They found death. As they stared at Krasimir's dead body laying lifeless on the ground, they heard a faint knock from under him. There they rescued the daughter (allowing her to take her father's books with her) and cared for her as much as they could. Unfortunately, this family were a couple of gypsies and too were hated by many, so their resources were limited. It didn't help that they weren't financially stable, especially with the economic problems happening around them. During her short time with this family, she gained a Bohemian attitude and was able to explore her birthright abilities (since they encouraged her to learn). But her time with them was short lived since providing for an extra mouth became harder and harder for her second family each day. Rather than let her suffer, they made the decision to put her in the care of an Orphanage. Shortly after they left her in the care of new strangers, the Orphanage received a phone call from a family in the USA that described a child with distinct features that they were wondering if they had. Felicity fit what they wanted perfectly - how coincidental. When the family saw a picture of her, they thought that God had blessed them with an angel and they paid for her to come to America near immediately.
She was quickly adopted by Mormons in Utah that had the surname of Underwood. They were staunchly religious and constantly pressured her into their beliefs. Mrs. Underwood was going to burn her father's books and almost did before the fire magically dissipated. Recovering one of her prized treasures, she was thankful she saved most of it and hid it away from the evil people that was her third family. Along with demanding her to draw for them, since they discovered Felicity had a great talent on her hands, she was put through serious abuse (primarily sexual since they didn't want to ruin her beautiful face). Behind her family's back, Lissie received mysterious parcels from her window side and even befriended a raven she named Isaac or "Ike" for short. Having no idea that the raven was her familiar, her mouth dropped when she heard he could talk. A talking bird?! No way! A couple months after her 14th birthday, her Mormon father decided he was going to marry her off to a man in his 40s and lucky for him, she could not verbally disagree. She couldn't say a thing and if she gave him "that look" he would put her in her place. She decided to flee the next morning taking anything and everything she could.
At night, Will-o'-the-wisps would appear and lead her somewhere. Knowing her mother, she didn't question the occurrence. Instead, she followed it and the ghastly lights led her to an abandoned warehouse she would spend the next two years practicing her witchcraft in and learning basic survival skills in the nearby town (selling her drawings for money so she could eat and other little things). A lot of her practice has been on public property but she'd like to believe she's found her specialties in witchcraft. They're raw and need a lot of work, but at least she has a good idea of what she likes to do. It also helped that the Parcels continued to come (and find her). Her abandoned warehouse turned into her own study that no one visited because they believed the building to be haunted.
There was one night she had an accident with potion brewing... after that day, she felt quite different, like not all days she was fully present, you know? Felicity brushed off the accident and continued to teach herself dark magic - having no idea she created something in her that was beyond her control.
When she turned 16th, Ike told her that she should consider going to Olympus Academy. There was only so much she would be able to teach herself. What did she have to lose? No one would suspect she was homeless since she had enough clothes to give off the idea that she came from a fairly wealthy family. This could be her chance to make her mother proud and she was going to... there was no holding back. It was time to accept this new change and go with the winds of life! To Olympus Academy and beyond!

| Godly Parent |
Hecate, the goddess of magic, crossroads, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. Known for three paths: guardian of the household, protectress of everything newly born, and the goddess of witchcraft. The Moon Goddess, with kingdoms three-fold: the earth, sea, and sky. Protector of shepherds and sailors. Queen of the Night, both honored and feared as the protectress of the oppressed and those who lived "on the edge". Zeus respects her and Hades treats her as an honored guest when she visits the Underworld. She reminds us of the importance of change.
| Relationship With Godly Parent |
Lissie has never met her mother but she is always being watched and taken care of. Occasionally, she receives parcels. She believes this is her mother making her ready for her and for her to become the holder of her own life. By the time she meets her mother, Lissie hopes she is ready and strong enough for her, becoming the daughter Hecate always wanted.
| Godly Abilities |
Please refer to Alexander Reisender's Character to see the Common Lore of being a Witch or Warlock of Hecate.
Felicity's Magical Focuses & Specialties Her magic is strongest at Night
Minor Birthright Abilities
Will-o'-the-wisp: Difficulty level - Medium. The conjuration of atmospheric ghost light, which can lead travelers to safe passage (or not). Truly depends on where Lissie wants to direct people.
Potioncraft: Difficulty level - Hard (requires constant studying). Affinity for an extensive knowledge of "Green Magic", including conventional herbalism, sophisticated botanical science, and potion brewing.
Summon Familiar: Difficulty level - Easy. She can call upon her animal, gifted by her mother, who dual roles as her guide and friend.
Advanced Birthright Abilities
Daughter of Mist: Difficulty level - Expert. Allowing mist to surround her, which allows her to create illusions, false memories, make monsters appear as something else, provide a hidden safe haven and places to hide, and to disguise people. The mist is magical, yet dangerous - being trapped in it for too long will cause one to forget themselves.
Vitalum Vitalis: Difficulty level - Hard. The balancing of the scales between one life force and another. She can transfer her own life force to dead or nearly dead in order to heal them. Lissie may faint. She can also drain life force to give herself more vitality but she would only do that if she must.
Favored Practice - Medium Level (Easiest discipline because of how much she draws) - My pencil is my wand.
Illustrated Reality: The more Lissie understands beings, people, and other things, the better her drawings will appear. With her pad and pencils given to her by her mother, she can draw into existence creatures, objects, and people.
Magical Pencils: Each pencil is capable of different things. The "Animator" bringing things to life, "Permanence" for permanent note-taking (to reflect whatever her photographic memory can think of) but it's also hard to destroy the drawing once it's on paper (and complete). If the paper is destroyed, the image will grab a hold of something else - may it be another paper, a wall, or even a person. She also has ones she has yet to explore like "Mirror Image" pencil which is said she can send an image of the landscape she draws to someone. This may help if she were to get lost and couldn't find her way back home.
Magical Chalk: She has three main ones: "Traveling Study", "Knife", and "Transmutation". One that can conjure up the door to her art studio, another one that cuts through things when she draws a complete shape, and another one that summons a portal that looks like a hole that leads to a black abyss. She has yet to take the chance to see where it leads.
Her weakest and rawest ability:
Marionette Rituals - Dollmaking and Puppetry: In terms of making voodoo dolls, she needs a piece of the person she wants to put harm to - hair is usually the easiest means. However, one doesn't only have to put harm to dolls, she can provide them with good luck by enchanting the doll with spellcraft. Puppetry is an advance form of her doll making where she can influence people, both physically and mentally. However, to go about this ritual an animal such as a spider or a frog (that she has bonded over - doesn't necessarily have to be her familiar) must enter the other person's throat. That gives her more power to influence said person.
To pursue the Marionette Rituals, you must make a doll of yourself and keep it safe. The doll is your contract to partake in the dark magic and becomes an extension of yourself - if it is harmed, you are harmed; However, if it is destroyed, you won't be killed but you will no longer be the same either. Most people are too afraid to find out what would happen once their doll is gone. Some abilities: You are able to see through the doll's eyes and even move the doll around using mental willpower.

Built as one would expect a Son of Zeus to be built like, Abe imposes a half-muscular, half-lean figure. He doesn’t really stand too tall nor does he look like he’s a shrimp of some kind. For Abe, being the height of sixty-eight inches it plenty for him. He never wanted to be that tall; even growing up, when he knew that he might end up above-average, he never expressed any real interest to have a towering, vertical frame. Being the height that he is now is quite alright with the Son of Zeus. As far as weight is concerned, there is a nice ratio of height to weight with his being just above the 170lbs mark. Definitely enough for Abeto have a solid amount of muscle mass but not too much to where he looks like he is bulky like most would assume for the Son of the Lightning God.
They say that the Children of Zeus, for the most part, have blonde hair and blue eyes. While in legend that was true in the past, even for some in modern times, it is not true for Abe. His hair has the light brown shade of hazelnut; though there has been talks that his hair might actually be a form of dirty blonde. Regardless, there’s no doubting that he breaks the mold of Sons of Zeus. Furthering that is the lack of blue eyes. Instead, Abehas green eyes.

Clothing-wise, there’s a sense of grunge and punk about it. A lot of bright-colored shirts, mostly of his favorite bands, and shorts and jeans of many kinds. Shoes are usually sticking to converse and Vans brands. He’s very expressive in that regard. People don’t understand it for a Son of Zeus, but most just don’t question it. There is something quite unique that he wears. Through all of his faults, Zeus left Abea gift. It is a necklace that resembles Zeus’ own Lightning Bolt. Each time that he wears it, the emblem reacts to his blood, and emits a blue and purple glow. It’s quite faint. Many think it’s just an LED light within it or something. Only Zeus and Abe know what it really is.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
♦ Confident ♦ Aggressive ♦ Helpful ♦ Blunt
The easy thing to assume about Abe would be that he’s an arrogant son of a god that demands respect because of who his father is. The easy thing to assume about Abe would be that he has a mean streak that is only rivaled by how sure of himself he is. The easy thing would to assume that he sleeps around whenever he gets the chance to.
And it’s easy to assume the truth. All of those things are true.
Okay, maybe not entirely, but the spirit of Zeus is there.
For one, there isn’t a lot of entitled arrogance inside Abe. If anything, it’s just a certain amount of confidence in himself. He knows that Zeus is the most arrogant of the Gods and Goddesses in Mount Olympus. He knows that Zeus expects him to act a certain way. Maybe a part of that plays a factor into the assurance that he has about himself. Maybe the moderate cockiness that Abe displays about certain things or in certain situations is the aspect of Zeus shining through him like a bolt of lightning illuminating the pitch blackness of the deepest regions of the Underworld.
Every child of Zeus is suspect to bouts of aggression. A common trait among those whom are the children of the alpha male Gods, there’s bound to be fits of aggression. Granted, Abe is an unique case because he is aggressive without realizing that he is. He’s always had anger problems even long before the reveal of him being the Son of Zeus came to light. Always thinking that it was because he had problems, Abe never thought it would have anything to do with his Godly parentage. Oh well. The bottom line is that he’ll sometimes have no control of when his fists will land on someone’s face. It’s no fault of his own even though he sometimes feels like it is.
Much like Zeus(god that’s starting to not sound okay to Abe), he is charismatic. Apparently he is able good with words. Maybe it’s how he emotes his words, or the surprisingly natural swagger that he has. It’s widely known he is the Son of Zeus, and it’s no mistake that Abe ended up being his son because, despite obvious differences(will get to that next paragraph), there seems to be a lot of overlying similarities, specifically those tendencies to flirt with females. It’s odd considering….
Abe and Zeus are at odds. The latter has high expectations for his son. He expects Abe to invoke his dominance upon everyone, especially those who aren’t Children of Zeus. He wants Abe to be authoritative, to assert his place as the top alpha male. Safe to say that Abe wasn’t having any of that. He didn’t like how he had to do all of that just because he was the Son of the Father of Gods and Men. He didn’t want to be tyrannous like his father. He didn’t want to be feared. By the Gods and Goddesses of Mount of Olympus, Abe wanted to actually be liked by his peers. Was that too much to ask for? Well, apparently it was since Zeus expressed his disappointment in Abe. What else is new?
Corresponding with his need to defy his father even further, Abe goes out of hsi way to help anyone in need. It doesn’t matter if it’s his sister, friends he made just to spite Zeus, or even random people he sees around the academy. Some would call it a version of the Zeus Reachout Program, but it’s really Abe showing that he’s not going to be like the rest of his brothers and sisters. He won’t give into those constant urges that every Zeus child faces with asserting dominance, and making sure every single person in the room knows that you’re in charge. He just won’t be that kind of guy, not if he can help it, that is.
Something that goes hand-in-hand with this kindness is honesty. Taken from Abraham Lincoln, people often dubbed him “Honest Abe”, mainly for the fact that the Son of Zeus tells it like it is. Sometimes he’ll sugarcoat it, mainly because he won’t feel like being blunt. Now granted, he does have times where he is a bit too honest. That’s not through a fault within him. It’s the Zeus in him breaking out. It’s the part that wants to be mean, that wants to declare authority over all, but the wayward son doesn’t allow it to go any further. Still with all that being so, Abe is well-aware that sometimes he’s too honest. There have been times where people have told him that exact thing. It’s something that he’s working on, but it’s also something that he might not be able to control due to reasons already explained.
B I O G R A P H Y
You’ve heard this story a thousand times: lucky - or depending on the perspective - unlucky deity or mortal woman gets courted by the mighty Father of Gods and Men, the mighty God of the Skies, Zeus himself. This guy who is known for courting many women, both of deity status and mortal origin. Considering there have been several accounts of Zeus’ intimate activities, it wouldn’t be totally outlandish that, in these modern times, Zeus would mate with a mortal woman. As far as history dates back, he did it countless times, so why change his ways now?
And thus what brings us to Abe’s conception. His mother, Alice Danielle Rothschild, a daughter of two politicians. Both of them republicans. Like Abe would become, Alice defied both her parents and went into politics as a democrat. She ran for the position of Governor of California. Leading her campaign with the slogan, “Let’s Fix it Together”. With that, she led the Democratic Nomination against Jerry Brown’s re-election. Both had similar goals: to make California Great Again. Jerry wanted to focus on improving the social and health care aspect of California, while Alice was focusing on improving the economical state of California,. Alice led her debate with a strong front, and when it came to the debates, the rallies, and the campaign as a whole was led by her strong, assertive personality that always stuck to the truth. Her campaign was also ruthless, often citing that Jerry Brown made a lot of the wrong choices, which was true. That led to her eventual landslide victory in the primary election.
This got her all sorts of attention. People wanted to be her friend, they wanted to make her know that she had friends in Sacramento. Among those people, was a certain reddish-blonde-haired, blue-eyed Englishman that also extended an olive branch to her. When she saw this man, the way he looked in his dark purple suit with a golden tie, the way that his strawberry blonde hair was combed back, and the sapphire blue eyes that had her captivated her as soon as she saw him. Either it was heavy infatuation or a premature love at first sigh. Whichever case it was, safe to say that he had her attention.
After an initial dinner, they spent a few weeks after the fact engaging in what could only be described as three weeks of passion. This man, whom she has barely known, took her on a wild ride, exposing her to things that she didn’t know still existed. There was a side in her that came to life every time he touched her, every time that she felt his fingers on her body, this part of her that knew it was outrageous for her to feel this way for a man that she just met; and yet, Alice couldn’t help herself. The way he made her feel in those few weeks was more excitement, more exhilleration that she had ever felt from any man that she had been with up until her thirty years at that point. She mentally prepared herself to spend as many months as she could get from him.
But it wouldn’t be the case.
The bliss ended abruptly, the man known to her as Zeus, was gone on the last night they spent with each other. It was on that night he told her of who he was. He told her that he was Zeus, God of the Skies, and that in nine months, she would birth his son. His name would be Zachariah, named after her father, and Abraham of the Biblical Abraham. He told her that he will grace her with five favors from now until the child she carried in her belly was fifteen years old. It covered anything and everything. It didn’t matter what she wanted, but only five in the next sixteen years. The last thing he told her was that, on his sixteenth birthday, Abe will be enrolled into Olympus Academy, a school dedicated to those that share blood of the Gods and Goddesses of Mount Olympus. He would go there, and learn to harness his abilities bestowed upon him from Zeus. Before he left her, he gave her one last gift: a necklace that was to give to Abe when he turned ten. It was a necklace that had the emblem of his Lightning Bolt. The metal to make the necklace was a special one crafted on Mount Olympus. When the time was right, he would know exactly what it was.
After all of that was told to her, Zeus disappeared, only appearing when the she would use those “Favors” he granted her; an all five were used over the years. When he reached the age of sixteen, Alice kept her promise. Buying him a new car using the funds she received as part of her new job, and he left for Olympus Academy where he has been a student at for five years now...

G O D L Y P A R E N T
Zeus, Father of Gods and Men, and God of the Skies.He is the Father of Gods and Men, the God of Law and Order, of Law and Justice. He commands thunder and lightning at his behest. All-powerful, almighty, he strikes down his enemies with great vengeance and furious anger, for he is just and his word is law.
R E L A T I O N S H I P W I T H G O D L Y P A R E N T:
It’s not good, that’s for sure. A lot of strain put on it, with Zeus being his usual dickish, superior self, and Abe not wanting to end up like Zeus. Due to that, Zeus sees him as a disappointment, and Abe secretly longs for his father’s approval. That’s life, but still really sucks.
G O D L Y A B I L I T I E S
Electrokinesis: Mastery Level - Advanced
This is the ability that all children of Zeus know how to use. It is the ability to create, shape, and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles such as electrons and protons, that allows control over electric fields, all charge carriers(Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), and electromagnetic forces.
Electric Aura Credit for the explanation to Write and Onarax Abe is capable in engulfing his body in an electrical aura for protection as well as a boost to his offensive capabilities. Aesthetically, Abe's aura is comprised of two parts, a purple inner aura and a golden outer aura. In terms of offensive abilities, Abe can channel the electricity in the aura to fire bursts of lightning no larger than basketballs. These strikes however, while shocking, are still weaker than a standard taser blast and are by no means capable of knocking out an opponent in one hit. Not to mention they are definitely slower than an actual lightning bolt, still repeated hits will definitely cause damage, so it’s typically in one’s best interest to avoid getting hit.
In addition, the electromagnetic properties of Abe’s aura allow him to attract ferromagnetic metals towards him by jerking his arms. While powerful sounding on the surface, Abe’s magnetic powers are relatively underdeveloped and come with a few limitations. First and foremost, larger objects take a far greater toll out of him and can quickly tire him out, not to mention any object moving in a direction contrary to the one Abe wishes to pull it in will also be more taxing. In addition, Abe can only attract objects towards him and thus lacks the control to manipulate the direction, in addition simply stopping his attraction isn’t enough to stop an object since an object will maintain inertia. He does have some control over the strength of attraction however and thus can manipulate the original speed someone, nevertheless, by the nature of his powers, as objects near him they will speed up.
Defensively, the aura protects Abe from many weaker attacks, but sufficient finesse, an unending onslaught, attacks or even brute force is more than capable of breaking through and hurting Abe. Not to mention, as the aura is fueled by Abe’s own focus and energy, the longer a battle wears on, or the more he abuses his other powers, the weaker his aura will become until it eventually dissipates. Abe’s aura merely dampens the force of physical attacks and thus he’ll still get hurt by repeated hits. If Abe’s aura is completely broken through, either by enough wear and tear, brute force, or some sort of elemental nullification like large amounts of water, it won’t return until Abe manages to successfully gain his focus back. In addition it won’t come back nearly as strong as before and eventually it’s effects will be negligible.
Aerokinesis: Mastery Level - Intermediate Beginner(halfway from being Intermediate)
Aerokinesis is the ability to manipulate, create, and shape air, the common name given to the layer of atmsphereic gasses and various compounds(mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth’s gravity, and wind, the movement of all air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of the vertical and horizontal differences in atmopshereic pressure, and includes all kinds of breezes and other various forms of wind-based disasters.
This is an ability that children of Zeus exhibit, but probably not as well as him. When used, it can cause a mountain of disastrous effects. If strong enough, it has the potential to cause absolute hell for everyone on the opposite end. Gales, whirlwinds, gusts, squalls, hurricanes - all within the lines of a master. As it stands right now, however, Abe is far from reaching that point of mastery, that's for damn sure.
Air Generation The short version is that he can generate wind around him, and manipulate it. The long version is that he has control of the generated air up until a point. He’s still relatively new in doing it, for sure. There are still a lot of areas with this ability that he just doesn’t have a grasp upon. That’s why he’s at the academy.
Atmokinesis: MAstery Level - Beginner Atmokinesis is accumulation of all weather-based abilities such as air, water, electricity, and thermal. It’s the big daddy of weather abilities because it IS the ability to manipulate weather. Take that with waht you will, but a master of this ability is capable of so many feats that Zeus himself is probably one of the few people who have the power within his grasp. Even his children probably don’t have the strength to do it.
Basic Control of the Weather It’s there, yes. Abe can definitely use some aspects of the weather that’s associated with his air and electrical abilities, but on any scale wider than his arm’s reach? Nah, he has no skill there. He might even be worse with this ability than his sister, Cecily, and that’s saying something. Don’t expect him to have any kind of world-breaking capabilities here.

In Depth Appearance: There's a good chance that many people will be looking up at A.J. in both the literal and figurative sense. Such things tend to happen when one is gifted with height. A.J. is a tall woman, standing at a good six foot two, and she wears her height rather well by not being a gangly sort of tall. While not in possession of an overly shapely figure, when she isn't dressing down A.J.'s more physical attributes come into the light, starting with the length of her legs which, depending on who you ask, rank high on her list of physical features. There's little cellulite to be found on her body thanks to what she claims is a good metabolism. Though her legs and the toned nature contained within are certainly points of interest, it is her sharp jawline and cheeks that A.J. is most proud of. Her visage is strong, elegant and angular, that it's such a shame that it's rarely shown to be smiling genuinely.
A.J.'s hair is always medium length and bounces between a sandy color and a more obvious blonde. She doesn't often experiment with new styles, preferring the standard middle part and healthy amount of brushing to maintain its straight nature. Her eyes, less bright and more pronounced, are a muddy brown but that doesn't stop them from being able to carry her glances of interests and incredulity. There aren't any blemishes on her skin, not even so much as a lingering scratch or wound or even tan lines. It's evident that A.J. enjoys making herself look presentable, and often that translates to a healthy amount of eyeshadow/eyeliner and lipstick, but it's never to the point of being caked on. That would just be disastrous.
A.J. goes for more glamour than outright flirty, knowing that one needn't show off to grab attention when needed. But by the same token her devotion to the glamour comes with its own cost.
Clothing Style:
In a word? Variable. More often than not A.J. will be wearing clothing that screams comfort and casual but is more fashion oriented than a simple 'casual' look of jeans or what have you. While jeans are certainly welcome, it's never without matching accessories or a top to match. A.J. stays on top of the trends in the fashion world mainly so she knows when it's time to update her wardrobe, blending the in style trends with more down-to-earth, common person affordable items. She leaps at the chance to go formal since it is an excuse to wear dresses that either show off a bit of leg or else swish and sway with the steps; either way it all feels good to wear. A.J.'s style is a mixture of what's in and what's affordable, though what's affordable to her might not be so for everyone. But that's not exactly her fault, is it.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits
A rather light sleeper, A.J. will often sleep with the covers fully over her just to add an additional muffler from potential sounds that will wake her up. People that just stomp their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night earn a permanent spot on her shit list.
An avid eater, at meal times A.J.'s portion sizes are a bit on the larger side though she doesn't seem to notice or care. Some observers note that she eats enough for two or three.
Has a bit of a thing for jewelry, specifically rings. She will often play with her own ring when bored, spinning it around her finger or something to that effect.
She doesn't use contractions in both speech and writing.
Whenever she thinks or has some sort of idea, be it good or bad, A.J. hums. Audibly.
Likes: ☑ Pizza. It doesn't even matter what toppings. Pizza.
☑ Winter weather. It means coats finally get their time to shine.
☑ Fruit juice. Preferably freshly squeezed and not the artificial junk. It's a better alternative to sugar water.
☑ That indescribable moment after a real heavy kiss.
☑ An undisturbed night of sleep.
☑ Animated things. Be it cartoons or movies or even little flip books. It's cute.
Dislikes: ☒ Phonies and Fakers; don't ever lie to her.
☒ Laziness, and that includes people who just toss on 'whatever' when they get dressed.
☒ Clingy sorts that are unable to take 'I'll call you' for an answer.
☒ Slovenly sorts, the types that spill their food or don't clean properly. Those types.
☒ Autumn weather. It doesn't know if it wants to be summer or winter and it's just unbearable either way.
Fears:
Obscurity. For better or worse, people know who A.J. is, and she very much would like it that way forever.
Snakes. Ophidiophobia
Romance. She's heard the stories. She's experienced certain situations. Love hurts. Love kills. She'll stay out of love's way.
Personality:
♦ Jealous ♦ Social ♦ Heartbreaker ♦ Vain
There's a word for people like to use about A.J. and it's not one used in polite company, though the truth of the matter is a bit different than what it seems. It's quite easy to see just what traits she took from dear sweet mother despite A.J.'s protests on the matter. Popularity is something that A.J. flocks to, believing herself to be someone worth knowing due to her having a finger on the pulse. She wants people to know her name even if she can't be assed to remember any herself. Always with some new bit of candy around her arm or in her eyes, A.J. seems to be the type to be seen as a bitch due to her interests in physical beauty in herself and others, but while it's true she surrounds herself with yes-men and women and enjoys being the center of any given attentions, A.J. is hardly a bitch or even catty. She treats those that make an effort just the same as she treats her inner circle and is always willing to lend an ear to the girls that need a little bit of guidance.
It's just that her more...negative aspects overshadow her kinder ones. A.J.'s love of physical attractiveness has made her rather vain. Her fear of romantic involvements and entanglements has made her into something of a tease though it's something of a status symbol to be her bit of arm candy even if all that comes of it is a single night. Though she does have a heart, especially for the girls in the academy, A.J. buys a little too much into her own hype which serves to make her equal parts ice queen and motherly. With a bit more emphasis on the ice queen on most days.
A.J. is hot and she wants people to know that regardless of how it bad it might make her look.
Background: One of the perks of being the child of someone that's a pretty big deal is that it makes you want for nothing. Though a marriage was not involved, A.J.'s mother had a particularly wild night after another in a long series of one-ups she was having with someone who won't be mentioned and this one ended with a pregnancy; an unwanted side effect but then, who hadn't been there before. A.J. was raised by her mother just long enough for her mother to instill some very important wisdom about life and people in general. A.J. didn't quite understand at the time, what young person does when the topic consists of such concepts as 'infidelity' and 'people will disappoint you'?
But A.J.'s father, despite not wanting to be one, had little choice but to take her in after her mother suddenly parted to continue to game and her spiteful existence. A.J.'s father, Anthony, is a wealthy sort that managed to turn his less than stellar looks into million dollar paychecks thanks to his ability to believably act. Growing up, A.J. was spoiled, raised more by the house help than the parent that stayed behind. There were visits from her mother, but they grew less and less frequent the older A.J. got.
It was actually her mother that insisted A.J. attend Olympus Academy if only so she could be among people A.J. could relate to. A.J. didn't understand at the time how...higher up her mother truly was and she entered the Academy with the hopes that there weren't any expectations to live up to anyone. A.J. really just wanted to continue being doted on like she was at home, though that was a bit more difficult among peers. Difficult, but certainly not impossible.
A.J. started exhibiting habits from her mother, namely in how she dealt with people that she felt betrayed her, the liars and cheaters of the world. Jealousy and spite reared their heads far too often and with it came a desire to be wanted...to be desired. Comparisons between herself and more unsavory aspects of her mother were quick to raise her anger, and considering the sorts that attend Olympus Academy, thsoe comparisons were made rather often.
She's more like her mother than she cares to admit.
Extra: Subscribes to the belief of 'Don't get mad, get even'.
Keeps pointers on just who is sleeping with who. This is for research purposes and for the whole 'get even' thing. Just in case.
I mean it's probably Hecate if I'm being honest
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Hera
Relationship With Godly Parent: A.J. wouldn't say they have a great relationship, but they have an...understanding. She no longer thinks Hera left her behind now that she knows more about the pantheon and her heritage and all that, but it's doubtful A.J. will say she loves her mother. But she wouldn't say she loves her father either and he was actually there for more of her life. Hera cares for A.J. no more or no less than any other child she has borne but there is care to be found.
Godly Abilities: Due to Hera's status as the 'Queen' of the gods, A.J. considers herself as something of a 'Queen' of the demigods and with this status comes the ability to influence her 'worshipers' to do her bidding, which mostly consists of telling her hangers-on to do things like take her tests, do her homework, and cater to her.
On the more positive side, A.J. can also grant favor to couples and her blessing to young couples comes with assurance that their love is for real and will last. A.J. doesn't play matchmaker, but she can see who is faithful and who isn't and if two people have genuine feelings towards one another.
A.J. can't turn into a bird, but she can understand and communicate with them if the need should ever arise. Birds see many things from above and are shockingly good for intel.
Less an ability and more taking after her mom, when scorned A.J. will do everything in her power to ensure the humiliation of whoever it was that wronged her, no matter what.

Nickname:
The Biggest Nerd
Birth Date: August 27
Age: 20
Gender: Man.
Sexuality:
Cute Tomboys Straight as an arrow.
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance:
Clocking in at six foot three, and a healthy, athletic, and musclebound two hundred and twenty pounds, Jonas is a solid and powerful young man. Even without the boons granted to him by his ancestry, he is undoubtedly close to peak condition for a man of his age and size, and owns both speed and power. Contrary to popular belief, the two are far from mutually exclusive (in fact, you could argue them being closely linked). Has a generally strong facial structure, with sharp brown eyes. The beard game is potentially powerful, but rarely is allowed to grow out to more than stubble. Carries himself with confidence and poise, no matter what he may feel internally. Surprisingly good smile.
Clothing Style:
The name of the game is casual wear. Tees, shorts, jeans, sneakers, hoodies, underarmor, basically all he needs to know is the weather and he'll build his clothing choices around it. Very occasionally will bust out a collared shirt. Likes his shirts red, apparently.

Personality:
♦ Hotblooded ♦ Diligent ♦ Loyal ♦ Jocular
Smarter than the av-er-age bear. While at first, being the son of the god of war might bring up images the typical meatheaded, boorish, jock to end all jocks, Jonas is surprisingly... normal in temprament. While not the smartest guy in the world by any means, he's far from stupid, and is easily as articulate as any other demigod in the academy. Perhaps owing to a lifelong background in martial arts, he's far from your typical blowhard, instead staying easygoing and cordial in day to day interactions. Hell, sometimes he can even be downright polite. However, this isn't to say, by any means, that he's a complete anomaly.
Respects strength in any form, of body, of character, of will, you name it, if it's strong, he likes it. Admires great warriors, and is absolutely enthralled whenever given the opportunity to learn of them and their methods. Seriously, if you ask him who his favorite author is, he'll probably either namedrop Jack Slack or Connor Ruebusch. While neither being Athenian nor particularly displaying an extreme aptitude for strategics, what he is is a thinking fighter, a veritable sponge when it comes to techniques and the tactics of their implementation. He may not be the best general in the world even amongst his brethren, but he does a hell of a job at getting his hands dirty.
He's one of those guys that manages the duality of being both laid-back and simultaneously brimming with a quiet intensity, less a volcano waiting to blow its top and more the purring engine of a high-end sports car. Sure, once he gets hype, he gets hype, but until then?
It's the calm before the storm.
Wait, shit, that's more a Zeus kinda line...
Background: Raised by a single mom, Jonas was stuck from a very young age into a nearby martial arts program, just as much to give him something to do while she worked her three jobs as it was to teach him discipline and keep him out of trouble. While throwing you kid at a karate school is always a crapshoot at best given the variety of factors involved, the young Highwind boy took to the martial arts like a fish does to water, always looking forward to his mom getting off of work and being able to take him to the studio after school each day. Especially since, while the discipline did come after a time (along with healthy doses of age and experience), the trouble at school was much, much harder to shake. Despite being a decent enough kid, Jonas always found himself getting into brawls in the classroom, at lunch, behind the playground; anywhere was free game. It wasn't that he started them or sought them out, either. It was like fighting was drawn to him much as he was to the art involved in it. Never one to start a scuffle, he tried to keep to himself, but 99 times out of a 100, he did find himself ending them.
Such was life.
While school and such was hell in a handbasket, he often found refuge in the community of the martial arts studio, growing from a competent, studious little kid into a respected, knowledgeable young man, becoming a mentor as well as a student to those that came after him. Life had begun to turn around: he had more confidence, he was helping his mother tremendously with the new source of income, he even was starting to pick his grades back up--
And then Dad showed up, and everything got flipped-turned upside down.
One long, weird talk later, and he was the son of the Greek God of War, going to be sent off to Olympus Academy, and was a demigod walking amongst mortals. And hey, Dad's really, truly is sorry he can't be there for you or your sister, but those shits in the middle east have been keeping him so damn busy these days.

Godly Information
Godly Parent:
Ares
Relationship With Godly Parent: Rather hands-off, and out of necessity as opposed to any real lack of willingness. Turns out, with all the conflicts the world's constantly going through, Ares is a busy son of a bitch. The two are amicable enough, but there's a definite air of awkwardness between them whenever put in the same room, a byproduct of the unfortunate distance between the two. Nonetheless, Ares has always found a way to, if nothing else, at least keep an eye on the boy, even if he can't always be there for him, and he is proud of him for sticking to his guns in the face of life. It's a rough world out there.
He of all beings would know.
Godly Abilities:
Impregnable Defense, Impetuous Style -- Call it a cheat code for the human body. In battle, Jonas's already considerable athleticism and durability skyrocket, soaring to outright inhuman levels of strength, speed, agility, reaction times, and toughness. Consider the difference between a man in his athletic prime versus himself, twenty, thirty years down the road. Now give him steroids and probably crack. Now apply all these factors to the physical stats of, say, Spider-Man. Scary stuff, right? Son of the God of war, people, he's going to be a physical beast.
The Drums of War -- When listening to a particularly hype piece of music in the background, he gains an additional boost in physicality, as well as a decreased sense of fear. For example, while he may stick and move in one instance, if the right song's playing he'll get downright crazy, trying to pull off flashier and flashier techniques.
A Call to Arms: Can summon any weapon he can think of from his Father's personal armory by verbally describing it, typically in intense detail and with a lot of energy usage—and then memorize it through taste. The definition or weaponry extends to ammunition and even gunpowder, although he's not yet fluent enough to manage to create more mundane things that could count as "improvised" weapons.

Personal Information
Name: Johnathan Frederick O'Connor III
Nickname: Webster - Everyone, and I mean everyone, calls him this. It originated in the first grade, when his near encyclopedic knowledge lead to the bullies calling him "Dictionary." He would go on to tell them that calling him Webster made a lot more sense, and sounded much less stupid, and so everyone, other than his parents, call him this, and it's how he introduces himself.
JJ - When he was younger, his parents called him JJ, shorthand for Johnathan Junior. His mother and father will still call him this from time to time, but none of his friends know about it, and he hates being called it.
Birth Date: January 14th, 1997
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Webster is tall and lanky, standing at about 6 feet and weighing in at around 160 pounds, all of which he would like you to believe is pure unadulterated muscle. Really it's the opposite, as Webster hates exercise with a passion, and as such, his muscles are minimally toned, and His dirty blonde hair is kept styled up out of his eyes, with more hair product than he would really care to admit. His eyes are a stormy grey, and have a look to them that makes it seem as if Webster's thoughts are elsewhere. Webster's mouth is always turned up in a smirk, one that almost makes him look like he's up to something, but also makes him seem much more friendly, despite his complete ineptitude in social situations involving strangers. While he's tried hard to grow a beard, he can't seem to get past a light stubble, and so he keeps his face clean shaven as much as he can, although it isn't totally unheard of for him to get so wrapped up in a project that he forgets to shave for a few days. His skin is a clear and cream colored, and try as he might, he can't get a tan to save his life.
Clothing Style: Webster most certainly does not dress to impress, despite his upbringing in a wealthy household. He wears flannels and band tees, beat up Converse and torn skinny jeans, and that's on a day when he's actually trying. On a lazy day, he opts for a tee shirt and sweats, though his Converse are his go to shoes. However, when he does want to clean up, he cleans up well, a result of his upbringing in a well off household. He prefers to wear blues or greys, and blacks aren't uncommon for him as well.

Personality:
♦ Friendly ♦ Arrogant ♦ Awkward ♦ Intelligent
Webster is a genius before he is anything else. Remarkably intelligent and resourceful, his brains are almost always the first thing people notice about him, a side effect of the unnecessarily large words that he'll sometimes use in conversations. This intelligence kept him out of many social circles as a kid, and left him a rather awkward character. While he acts perfectly fine around his friends, girls that he likes seem to be his biggest weakness, and practically any stranger will have him stumbling over his words. But, despite showing off his intelligence like a medal of honor, Webster is at his core, a caring and supportive friend, who'd do anything for those he cares for.
But, just like everyone else, Webster has a dark side. His IQ has left him arrogant, and he's always confident that he's the smartest person in the room. This arrogance is truly just a mask for his insecurity, the insecurity that's gripped him ever since he was a child. Always wanting to be the best left him fearing he was always second or third best. He can be remarkably sarcastic as well due to his lack of verbal filter, and to those who know him, they know he's just joking, but to those who're just meeting him, he can come off as rude.
Background: Johnathan O'Connor was a new history professor at Stanford when he met the young, lovely, Aliane Corvus. Well, that's what she said her name was. In truth, she was the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and she'd taken a liking to the professor. Their whirlwind romance culminated in an engagement, a marriage, and a pregnancy, all within seven months. After Webster was born, Athena revealed herself to her husband, and their relationship soon crumbled. Johnathan couldn't seem to handle being with an immortal goddess and this drove a wedge between the two.
From birth, Webster, then Johnathan Jr, was expected to be great. His father wouldn't have anything else. "O'Connors are great," he would say to a young Webster, who would simply look up into his fathers eyes and gurgle, as infants tend to do. And Webster did become great. At the age of five he was reading full on chapter books, and using words far beyond the normal comprehension of a kindergartner. Of course, his father knew where this was coming from, but he refused to tell Webster anything.
From that point on, Webster was enrolled in private lessons after school. He was taught to play the piano, speak Spanish, German and French, and he even dabbled in the violin. His father always made sure he had something to do, and as he got older he desired rebellion more than anything, an escape from the life. And that day came when Mommy Dearest knocked on his door.
When Webster was just fifteen his mother showed up and explained away all the mysteries of his life, such as why his parents had split, and just who his mother really was. He was shocked to say the least, but when his mother suggested he be sent to Olympus Academy, and he's been there ever since, refusing to go home, even for the holidays.
Extra: Apollo is my favorite god :)
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Athena
Relationship With Godly Parent: Webster has only met Athena a few times, and so their relationship is strained at best. He resents her for never getting in contact with him as a child, but she is trying to build a relationship with him.
Godly Abilities: Master Strategist - While Webster lacks confidence everywhere else, when it comes to strategy he is always on top, thanks to his mother. He is able to analyze a situation and figure out the best way to maneuver through it, and while his plans are sometimes failures, they are more often than not, successes.
Can We Build It? Yes We Can! - Webster is a skilled architect and can even understand the layout of a building simply by touching it, due to his mother's status as a patron of architects. When he's touching a building, the blueprints appear in his head and he can study them for as long as he has contact.
Care To Duel? - While many forget Athena's status as a goddess of war, her gifts in warfare have given Webster prominent skills with a sword, and his ability to analyze a situation make him a dangerous opponent.
Crafts! - To go along with his skills with architecture, Webster is a gifted engineer and is always working on different gadgets. While he may not be as gifted an inventor as a child of Hephaestus, given time, he could become a force to be reckoned with.

Personal Information
Name: Tessa Marie Galloway
Nickname: Tess - One letter off of her actual name makes all the difference in the world to Tess, and she prefers this to anything else.
Birth Date: December 25th, 1997
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Tess is a pretty girl, that much is certain. Her red hair falls to just below her shoulders, and shapes her face almost perfectly. Living in an area where it's snowing most of the year has left her with ivory skin, though she also suspects that this is thanks to her mother. She's not particularly tall, only standing at about 5'6, and weighing in at about 135 pounds. Years on the track and field team have left her with toned arms and legs. She doesn't where too much makeup, eye shadow and lipstick most of the time but that's really where she draws the line. Her eyes are a brilliant green, and many a boy has compared them to tiny emeralds, which never ceases to make her laugh, inviting the two dimples in her cheeks to come out.
Clothing Style: Tess dresses rather conservatively compared to many other girls she knows. She prefers pants and over sized sweatshirts, to anything that shows of a lot of skin, although in the summer time, you'll often catch her walking around in shorts and a tank top. She prefers to wear lighter colors, yellows and greens, even blues, and she tends to stay away from blacks and greys.

Personality:
♦ Chipper ♦ Adventurous ♦ Over Dramatic ♦ Hot Headed
To many, Tess seems like she has enough pep that nothing could keep her down. She's always got a smile on her face, and is easily one of the friendliest people at the academy, always being the first to greet someone. She's a loyal friend, who would stop at nothing to aid those in need. She's an adventurous girl, and if you're close with her, count on being dragged along on some sort of escapade, into the woods or on some sort of scavenger hunt. Tess has a way of making a dull day seem impossibly fun. But enemies of Tess beware. Her fuse is short, and her penchant for melodrama makes her seem like a nuclear explosion when things piss her off. And as much as she cares for her friends, it's not uncommon for her to focus a little to much on herself, and forget to acknowledge her friend's problems.
Background: Harrison Galloway was dumbstruck when he met Tess' mother. The goddess Artemis had appeared to him as a feisty red head, who loved to hunt. The two soon fell deeply in love, and within a year of meeting one another, they were married. After the wedding, Artemis revealed who she was to Harrison, but he couldn't have cared less. He was with the woman he loved, and that was all that mattered.
Tess was born the next year, and she lived a relatively normal life, at least early on. Her mother was around for quite a bit of her life, and she would take the young girl out into the woods, where animals would flock around them. As she grew older, her affinity for archery became prominent, as well as her skills with animals. And while she always knew there was something strange about her mother, she never suspected the truth.
When she was sixteen, her parents sat her down, and told her everything, before going on to suggest that she go to Olympus Academy, to train and hone her skills as a demigod. She was overjoyed. Finally, there was a chance at adventure, away from the small town she'd grown up in. At the academy, Tess flourished, making more friends than she had ever had, and proving herself as a capable fighter and student.
Extra: My favorite goddess is Athena
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Artemis
Relationship With Godly Parent: Surprisingly good. Artemis was present for Tess' childhood, and so they are much closer than many other demigods are with their parents, although finding out that she had siblings that were born after her, during her parents marriage was hard to wrap her head around.
Godly Abilities: Right On The Mark - Being a daughter of the goddess of the hunt, Tess has excellent aim. She finds that her skills are best with bows, but she can be incredibly accurate with throwing knives as well.
Snow White In The Flesh - Tess has a natural affinity with animals, and while she can't necessarily speak to them, she can understand their methods of communication, and can easily calm them.
Catch Me If You Can - Tess is much faster than your average human, and has much faster reflexes, thanks to her mother being one of the more agile goddesses.

| [color=???]F I R S T N A M E . L A S T N A M E[/color] {Symbol} | "Character thoughts on relations." In depth description of relation here. At least three sentences.
| Harada . Dana {☯} | "She's Ares' daughter, right? She's quiet but she seems pretty badass." Webster has only met Harada briefly, in one of the classes that they share. He has seen her proficiency with weapons however, and she's one of the few people who he thinks could take him in a sword fight.
| Jonas . Highwind {☯} | "Surprisingly smart. I mean, not as smart as me, but really, that's not a fair comparison." Having met Jonas a few times, Webster was most surprised by his average IQ level. A child of Ares who didn't want to stab first and ask questions later was refreshing, and opened Webster's mind a bit more.
| Rebekah . Cross {☯} | "I guess she's kind of my sister and all, but we don't talk a lot. Mom introduced us, and we say hi in passing, but I wouldn't call her a friend." Webster and Rebekah may be half siblings, but their relationship isn't that of any normal pair of siblings. Granted, they aren't a normal pair of siblings. They met during their first year at OA, and they get along fine, though Webster's lack of social skills doesn't mix well with Rebekah's quiet attitude. Plus, Webster is jealous of the time she spent with their mother, time he never got.
| Skye . Woodsen {⚜} | "He was the first guy to ever hit on me. That was interesting, to say the least." Webster's few interactions with Skye have been laughably awkward. The few times they've spoken, Skye's overt flirtatiousness has led to an incredibly flustered Webster, who does not handle such things well..
| Mariana . Dixon {♥} | "Why? Did she ask about me? I mean, not that I care. It's chill if she did." Webster has the biggest crush imaginable on Mariana. He's turns into mush whenever she comes around, and yet he's convinced that it's the best kept secret in school. Whether or not his feelings are requited, he's unsure, maybe because he's unable to hold a conversation of more than a few words with her.
| Dallas . Relo {☯} | "I don't know. He's kind of an ass if you ask me, but he's grown up a lot I guess.." Webster hasn't talked much with Dallas, but from what he's observed, he's not a huge fan. Webster will grant him the fact that he's grown up a lot since Webster first met him, years ago, and the son of Athena respects that somewhat.
| Tess . Galloway {♫} | "Tess is a bit of a pain in the ass, but she's one of the best friends I have." Webster and Tess have known each other since their first year at OA, and have been friends ever since. Webster is often her unwilling partner in crime, as well as her exceptional study partner. And by study partner, I mean he reads his notes aloud and she listens, and passes the test.
| Delilah . Wells {☯} | "She's really nice, I know that much." Webster's met Delilah on a few occasions, and finds her to be rather pleasant. He doesn't get how she can be so humble though, seeing as how he thinks achievements should be shouted about from the rooftops.
| Dustyn . Flint {★} | "I think my father wouldn't approve of us being friends, which is a perfectly good reason to continue hanging out with her. That and she's loads of fun." Webster is often seen, trailing behind Dusty at some event, be it a concert, a party, or any other escapade she invites him on. They met after a rather strange story involving Morgan Freeman, and they quickly became friends. Webster trusts her more than most people at school, and he's always got her back.
| Kaz . Kazuma {☯} | "He's Dusty's half brother right? I've met him a few times. He's kind of intense." Kaz's intensity tends to intimidate Webster a bit. When he's around, the son of Athena tends to stay quieter than usual.

| Cecily . Merrick {☯} | "She seems like a nice girl." Tess and Cecily have only met in passing, but from what she can tell, the daughter of Zeus is nice enough.
| Zachariah . Rothschild {♥} | "Oh gods, that boy is fine! I mean, shockingly fine! Pun intended." While Tess has yet to actually speak with Abe, she's seen him from afar, and is a big fan.
| Marcella . Bonaparte {☯} | "She's got good enough fashion sense, that much is for certain." Tess hasn't got much to say on the daughter of Hades, aside from a passing comment on her clothes.
| Rhea . Psomas {☯} | "She's pretty quiet. Not much else to say" Tess has only met Rhea a few times, briefly and in class. All she can really say is that she's a quiet girl.
| Avery . Stratton {☯} | "She's got a reputation, that much is for sure." Tess may not know Avery personally, but the gossip mill keeps her informed on all of the girls escapades, fictional or otherwise, and as such she knows of her.

| Jonas . Highwind {☯} | "I watched him and Webster spar once. He's good, though that isn't much of a surprise." She can't say much about Jonas, seeing as how they've barely spoken.
| Rebekah . Cross {☯} | "If anyone at this school is smarter than Webster, it's her." Tess has had a few classes with Rebekah, and she is certain that she's one of the smartest people at the school, probably even smarter than Webster. Not that she'd tell him that.
| Skye . Woodsen {♥} | "Oh, gods not another one! He's just so hot, that isn't fair!." Tess enjoys to watch Skye just as much as she likes watching Abe. Webster thinks she's a creep for it, and she can't really argue.
| Mariana . Dixon {☯} | "Nice girl. Out of Webster's league, but a nice girl all the same." Tess mainly only knows Mariana as the girl that Webster has a giant crush on. She knows that she's nice enough, but that's about it.
| Dallas . Relo {♥} | "Seriously. Why are all the guys so hot? And this one is even a bit of a bad boy. God damn. IT'S NOT FAIR!" Tess would like to say she tries not to stare at him. She'd be lying.
| Delilah . Wells {☯} | "Humble and nice. She might not get noticed, but she'll survive her time here. That's a good thing at least." Tess has spoken to Delilah on a few occasions, generally with other people present, and thinks her to be alright. Kind and humble, and a bit quieter than Tess, but alright.
| Dustyn . Flint {♫} | "My big sister basically, and one of my best friends here." Tess and Dusty have been friends since, well since she's been at OA. She trusts her with anything, and cares a great deal for her, even considering her to be a big sister of sorts.
| Kaz . Kazuma {☯} | "A bit intense but there's nothing wrong with that." Kaz's intensity is fascinating to Tess, and she'd love to get to know him better.

Mari works, but she prefers Mariana - why butcher such a beautiful name? There isn't much reason to, but Hayley does work as a nickname - though Mariana only hears it when she's being scolded by her grandmother.
Birth Date:
4th September
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Heterosexual (possibly bi-curious)
In Depth Appearance:
Mariana stands at the average height of 1.71m (5'6") with creamy skin, rosy cheeks dotted with freckles across her forehead and upper arms. While lean, her body has a slight hour glass figure; sporting a small waist against her wider hips. The delicate curves are marred with stretch marks across her thighs and arms, something Mariana tries to cover up carefully with the help of appropriate clothes. She has no tattoos or permanent scars otherwise, leaving the rest of her skin a fair shade.
Her eyebrows catch the attention of many when one looks at her; rather than it being thin or delicately shaped like you'd expect from seeing women in magazines, they're thick and full with barely an arch framing her almond shaped eyes. Her eyes are a mix between a light brown, hazel and green - some would argue that it's a light brown while others would call her eyes green - it all depends on the lighting of the room. Her hair is somewhat frizzy and untamed, falling past her chest in messy, tangled waves. Her hair is of a brown shade, with hints of natural blonde highlights to add depth to the messy locks.
Despite being someone who tries to keep her appearance as neat and well put together as possible; her hair always tends to mess up the plans. Unless she straightens it (and who has time for that every morning?) or tied up into a bun or ponytail, there isn't much Mariana can do to tame her hair.
Clothing Style:
Mariana is a true Virgo. Born under the meticulous star-sign, Mariana pays careful attention to each clothing she wears. Nothing has dust, fur or is wrinkled. While it's not obsessive - if she or her clothes get dirty over the course of the day, she won't freak out as much as long as her clothing is salvagable. Mariana definitely likes to be pampered and prefers the branded clothing (possibly the materialistic side of her unfortunately inherited from her mother), Mariana sticks to swearing the comfortable and cheap threads.
The type of clothes, however, varies on her mood. While she doesn't have a huge closet filled to the brim with outfits, she does have enough to keep her well presentable no matter the occasion. Dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans - anything works well with Mariana as long as they're comfortable to wear (and practical too - you definitely won't see Mariana walking around in booty shorts in winter - though, power to the girls that do!) Her footwear is kept to the bare minimum; she only owns one pair of heels (nude pumps that match with everything, along with a couple flats and two old pairs of converses.
Make-up wise, Mariana keeps it simple. Why waste money on buying ten lipstick tubes of all the same colours? Concealer, some eye liner and maybe a swipe of tinted lip-balm to add a hint of colour to her already pale skin.
Quirks/Oddities/Habits
⛭ A common habit amongst many, but Mariana bites her lips and/or nails when she's nervous. ⛭ Mariana has the terrible habit of staying up much later than she should, even if she has to wake up early the following morning. You're more likely to get your room rearranged at 4AM than have her sound asleep in bed (unless she's completely knocked out from lack of sleep anyway, or with the help of sleeping pills). ⛭ Similar to the above point, Mariana likes to keep busy; whether this is in the form of procrastination (rearranging the bedroom like three times) or actually studying, it doesn't matter. Mariana even overworks herself in this state simply because she hates sitting idly. ⛭ Since childhood, Mariana has a habit of having porridge with a layer of Nutella and chopped bananas on top. The sweet, fattening topping is one way to keep her in a good mood for the rest of the day. That, and coffee.
Likes & Dislikes
✔ Swimming - Mariana enjoys swimming as a hobby, a way to work off anxiety or to shed the pounds she gains from her breakfast. ✔ Chocolate - if it wasn't obvious, Mariana loves chocolate. Bonus if it's milk or white chocolate though, as dark is a bit too bitter for her liking. ✔ The sound of rain hitting the window (especially if its a thunderstorm; the sound is comforting to her) ✔ Animals - Mariana is a huge animal lover, especially if it involves dogs ✔ Succeeding in whatever she's tasked to do (even if its not perfect) ✔ Stayng up to read creepy stuff or watch horror films. It's a guilty pleasure.
✘ Materialistic people (ironically) ✘ Having to repeat herself - or other people repeating themselves constantly ✘ Broccolis and cauliflowers - they just don't look or taste very appealing ✘ The strong smell of perfumes or industrial strength cleaning products ✘ Not being to help anyone out/not being useful
Fears:
⛤ Anything with more than four limbs; or basically the spider. ⛤ Fire - There's no traumatic reason behind this fear, but the nature of it frightens her. The uncontrollable and distructive nature of a flame, to be exact. ⛤ Being watched without her knowledge - This is more of an odd paranoia more than anything. You can blame the horror movies and freaky shit she reads on the internet at 4AM
Personality:
♦ Materialistic ♦ Goal-orientated ♦ Honest ♦ Social Butterfly ♦
There is not a single way to easily describe Mariana Dixon. She's a walking contradiction - but honestly who isn't? To some, Mariana can be sweet and a charm but to others she could be cool and uninterested. In some instances Mariana is an extrovert; happily chatting with people in groups and gladly basking in the attention while others she'd like nothing more to hide herself in her room for her own "me" time.
To keep it simple, Mariana enjoys social interactions. She's a friendly individual and strives to help people with their situation (whether it be as simple as a bad mood or complex like personal problems, Mariana will definitely try to help). She's altruistic; someone who is always concerned for the well being of her loved ones. There is no one clique you could put her in in high school; she would blend into the crowd and often interact with different people each day. However, this meant that while Mariana had multiple friends, she never had any close ones - people that she could trust with her secrets like people would do to her. She didn't mind though; her habit of bottling up negative emotions aiding her in this situation.
Whether it's a trait she's inherited from her father; Mariana will never know. She's brutally honest and appreciates the same honesty in return. She finds it pointless to lie, even if it's a simple one because she believes that it means you don't trust them. To sensitive people, she may actively try to sugar-coat her words, but her words are still the truth.
Mariana is also quite stubborn as she is goal-orientated. If she's given a task, Mariana will try her absolute hardest to accomplish it and will often stubbornly sit there trying to figure out the solution without asking for anyone else's aid. Her need to be independent forces her to not reach out to people when she requires help, a trait that Mariana knows is bad and is actively working on it by being more open to others.
Just like her father; Mariana is cursed when it comes to her love life. Sure, she's had far and plenty amorous relationships for her age but none of them have stuck. Whether it be because of her personality, insecurities or whether her partner had been unfaithful or simply lost interest in her, it seems that Mariana just won't be able to stick to one relationship for long before something going wrong. Plus, Mariana isn't much of a believer in love anyway; it's all just chemical processes in the brain to trigger affection and softness for others according to her.
Mariana (as mentioned before) hates materialistic people. It's a trait that she's not fond of as it bitterly reminds her of her absent mother. However, the irony is that Mariana is still materialistic herself. She loves branded clothes, the expensive items just for the sake of having them - it's a guilty pleasure of hers to own items she can showcase but her disciplined nature (and the not-so-affluent background) keeps her wants in check.
She also wants to impress Apollo. Most of what she does, she does with the intention to impress her father as well as to help others. After finding out who her father was, Mariana hopes to keep him in her life by becoming someone to be proud of - someone he can say with his chin held up high that Mariana is his daughter. This insecurity can also showcase in her relationships - she'll often try to impress them in hopes they'll think she's worthy enough to keep around.
Background:
For as long as Mariana could remember, it had been just her and her grandparents. Her mother was three states away burning through the little money she has while no one would tell her who her biological father was. One year they'd claim he was working abroad, then they'd claim he was dead - but they would never tell her who he was.
Mariana was born on a dark, cool September night to Samantha Dixon. Samantha was a young college drop out, living with her room-mates in a cheap trailer home and working at a diner to pay for the expensive clothes, booze and jewellery Samantha wanted. All Mariana knew about her mother was that she was irresponsible - the story that her grandparents have stuck to since the age of fourteen - and slept with a stranger in a drunken stupor. Either way, Mariana was barely three weeks old before she was swept away by her grandparents to live with them in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In the nineteen years she's been alive on this Earth, she's only seen her mother twice since moving in with her grandparents. The last time being when she was turning seven. Mariana doesn't hold much animosity towards her mother - she doesn't feel anything. Instead, she imagines that she has no mother and simply enjoys her life with her ageing grandparents. Despite the tensions between her and her parent, Mariana never felt the lack of love from her family.
Her grandparents were a big influence on her when growing up. Her grandfather (Papa) was a retired Army general, living with his wife (Nona) that was a retired florist in a modest home in the suburbs of the city. The locality was good for families, giving Mariana ample friends growing up (even if not many stuck by the time she was in High school). Her childhood friends even nicknamed her "sunshine" due to her ability to lift people's moods and doctoring some that would get minor injuries while playing. These tells weren't obvious; the healing didn't happen over night but it was enough for her grandparents to figure something out.
Their suspicions were confirmed years later during Mariana's graduation from high school. Mariana has always been an average student, if not above. With her dream to become a doctor, encouraged by her grandfather regularly, education was a priority (and still is) to Mariana so by the time she graduated with a 3.9 GPA, she was sure that they were proud. However, a visit from a man that looked eerily similar to her changed her world completely. Apollo approached his daughter that day, confirming their suspicions that their daughter wasn't entirely normal.
The following summer was spent by father and daughter bonding together. They watched movies, talked about Mariana's childhood and attempted spend as much time as they could together to make up for the lost years. Mariana was taught the basics about her ability; to heal and to affect others' moods - even prediction (even if that area needed some a lot of work). It was the summer she turned eighteen that she was enrolled into Olympus Academy, the school for demi-gods and goddesses to learn and control their abilities.
That was a year ago, and Mariana is still trying to adjust to her new life as a demi-goddess with the help of her father and the student/faculty members of Olympus Academy.
Family:
Samantha Dixon | 39 | Waitress at a diner is the extent Mariana knows Susan Dixon (nee Beaumont) | 64 | Retired (ex-Teacher) Ethan Dixon | 67 | Retired (ex-Police Officer)
Extra:
Hmmmmm Athena maybe?
Godly Parent:
Apollo, God of Truth, Prophecy and Healing
Relationship With Godly Parent:
Mariana's relationship with Apollo is still relatively new; she'd only found out about her Godly heritage about a year ago. They're still trying to work out the kinks in their relationship, figuring to boundaries and catching up on the long, missed years. Mariana hopes that Apollo is proud of her thus far, each action as an attempt to impress him.
Godly Abilities:
Doctor, Doctor
As expected of the daughter of the God of Healing, Mariana makes quite the doctor. The best way to describe her power is to say that she has some variation of the magical healing touch. This power is quite limited, however. Most she can do currently is heal bruises and scrapes; anything that requires an actual qualified doctor means that she won't be able to help out.
Uplift your spirits
To Mariana, the sunlight acts more as a metaphor to describe her personality (and thus this power as well). She's bright and cheerful, yes, but this sort of behaviour is almost described as infectious. She can help improve moods subconsciously; whether to help calm a scared child or to make a crying adult smile - it all works for Mariana. For the most part anyway. She cannot permanently help improve someone's moods, and someone can build up immunity to this the longer someone stays in her presence (though this can take up to a year, depending on how often you see Mariana).
I predict...
Mariana can, to a certain extent, some events. Most of the time they're small predictions; nothing too life changing and this power is used rarely. Mariana cannot control this power, meaning that she cannot predict events for people she wants to. Out of the three abilities she's got, her prediction skills are definitely the weakest.

"'My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine." -Tallulah Bankhead
Personal Information
Name: Dustyn Taylor Flint
Nickname: Dusty
Birth Date: June 8th, 1995
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Dustyn stands very petite at five foot two and weighing less than one hundred and fifteen pounds. Closer to one hundred during her months of "I'm trying hard to cut back man.." which is a nice way of putting: not drinking alcohol and eating fast food every night. She has a head full of naturally curly light brown hair, that she keeps long and often leaves down. Her eyes are a very light grey which can appear to be more of a blue tint when in the proper lighting. Dustyn enjoys being dolled up, but doesn't put too much effort in to her appearance. She enjoys lipsticks, eyeliners, and eye shadows when appropriate. Her body is littered with many scars and often bruises from her escapades of the past and present. She has yet to get a tattoo, but would love to get a thigh piece one of these days when she comes across the money and the right artwork. Her ears are pierced in several places, mostly done in the bathroom of friend's dorm rooms and very uneven.
Another hole is just another hole after all.
Clothing Style: Comfort with a splash of grunge. Dustyn is always seen in some type of denim, whether it be skinnies or daisy dukes- she has jeans on. Not too picky with whatever her top is, as long as it doesn't smell too bad from the last time she washed it. Tends to not wear a purse or any type of bag with her, so don't be surprised if she asks you to place her stuff in your pockets or your own bag. Wears accessories often, but nothing worth more than a couple dollars. Wears a watch sometimes, but the battery has long been dead.

Chews her nails when she is nervous
Swears she made out with Morgan Freeman once
Always has someone elses lighter in her pockets

Pretty drinks with long names
Spending time with her friends
Dancing until her legs ache
Taking naps during all times of the day
Sending photos on snapchat of random body parts
Dislikes:
Carrying a purse
When people don't know how to relax
Early mornings when she hasn't slept at all
Hangovers that can't be cured with french fries
Guys who don't text or call the next day
Fears:
Overdosing on something too hard
Never finding someone who truly loves her
Falling between the sink and toilet and getting severely stuck
Personality:
♦ Fun ♦ Carefree ♦ Outgoing ♦ Irresponsible ♦
Dustyn is someone that would see you eating lunch by yourself and not hesitate to walk over and keep you company. Granted, she might sit down and end up eating half of your sandwich while she explains to you why she thinks it'd be a good idea for you to go to the movies with her that night to see some new slasher flick- but she means well. She is not dumb, but can often appear air-headed and aloof based on her social activities and her tendency to go off on a tangent of something that she is passionate about or something that didn't really happen (ie: don't ask about her morgan freeman story). Dusty wants the best for everyone and herself, she just doesn't know how to go about it just yet.
Background: Dustyn was conceived in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her parents had both been on their honeymoon with their spouses and ended up banging each other's brains out behind Caesar's Palace, or was it a Little Caesar's pizza? Either way, the two lovebirds had put their last relationships in the past and began the whirlwind that was Dionysus and Kimberly. A couple years had gone by but as soon as the big P word slipped from doctor's mouth, Dustyn's father had said he had other places to be- and thanks for the good time, it was fun. He even left a "Get well soon" card on the dresser, with about twelve dollars in singles.
Kimberly now was dumbfounded, pregnant, and all alone. She decided to leave sin city and try to find a better life in Salt Lake City, Utah. She didn't find any greener grass, but when Dustyn was born she did find out what happiness was again. The two lived in a small trailer park, growing up together and experiencing what life had to offer without many material goods. Though Dusty didn't live a glamorous life, she learned early on how much value there was in a strong family, true friends, and a good time.
As Dustyn grew into the age where teenagers start to experiment with smoking, drinking, and other questionable activities the signs of being not normal were coming into view. As her friends around her got buzzed after a couple cans of beer- Dustyn was struggling to find where the fun was in all of this. She took to greater lengths, pushing more and more to try to experience that feeling. It worried her mother, and not before long the talk of something being not quite right was exchanged.
Soon after at around the age of fifteen Dustyn was sent to Olympus Academy where she grew into the woman she has become now. Learning about her heritage and what it meant to demigod and why she was different from her childhood friends that she had left behind. Olympus Academy had been her home for a little more than six years, and she continues to grow into the woman that she hopes will make her mom proud.
Extra: Favorite drink is a simple rum and coke. If you remember this she will love you forever. Poseidon is my favorite :)
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Dionysus
Relationship With Godly Parent: "Dionysus represented those who do not belong to conventional society and thus symbolizes everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected" Dustyn hasn't had much of a relationship with her father, he swept into her and her mother's life and brought a lot of fun and excitement and then left as quickly as he had came. She has a bit of resentment towards him, blaming him for her failed relationships with guys who we're just in it for some fun. When the two get together, they can tell they share very similar personalities but Dustyn's father didn't want to ever grow up, while she on the other hand- had that deep down urge to settle down one day.
Godly Abilities: Dustyn has the ability to take large amount of alcoholic drinks without feeling much of a buzz. This tends to make her a bit of the "crazy" girl when it comes to parties. She is not immune, but it takes a bit more to get her feeling anything. Another party trick Dusty has up her sleeve is the ability to name the contents of all drinks just by taking a taste. Don't try to take a piss her coffee, she will find out, and she will fight you.

People I've Met & Love
| T E S S A . G A L L O W A Y {♫} | "One of my best friends, I know she is there for me." These two are like two peas in a pod. Adventurous spirits with a bit of flame underneath them. Dustyn knows that if there is ever an argument between her and someone else- that Tessa would be right beside her giving the person a run for their money. Tessa is only a few years younger than Dustyn but Dustyn playfully treats Tess like a child, even calling her and introducing her to people as her "baby sister".
| D E V L I N . C H A D W I C K {♫} | "My other best friend, she treats me almost too well." On those days where Dustyn is feeling more cool, calm, and collected her home resides with Devlin. These two know how to have fun one with one another, but it's in the netflix and snacks type of way rather than jumping off bridges into the river type of way way. Dustyn is always first in line to test out Devlin's inventions, even after a few really bad mishaps.
| W E B S T E R . O' C O N N O R {★} | "He allows me to drag him to pretty much everything." These two crossed paths when Dustyn was feeling rather social and approached him during lunch one day. The two got to chatting and somewhere down the line she won him over enough to continue the conversation the next day, and the day after that. These two tend to be seen out and about together, especially at concerts where Webster's favorite groups are playing. She might be IS a bad influence on him.
| B I R D I E . A P P L E S G A L E {★} | "I'm glad I decided to step in that night." When Dustyn saw Birdie outside the venue being told she wasn't allowed to enter, Dustyn couldn't help but feel a bit of responsibility to change the direction of that girl's night. She sneaked her in with no problems and eventually the two became sort of friends. They don't really spend too much time together, but Dusty is always willing to lend a hand when it's needed.
| B R I A N N A . C A V E R L Y {★} | "She stole my lighter that I had originally stolen from her." If you were to look up mischievous in the dictionary, these two would be the picture under the definition. Together they have gotten into plenty of trouble, and you should honestly be careful if you seen the two of them plotting together. Though they do get into fights every once in awhile, Dustyn and Brianna find their way to peace in the end.
People I've Met & Am Learning To Love
| R H E A . P S O M A S {☯} | "I'm not here to hurt you, You don't have to worry around me." These two don't know one another very well, besides in passing, though if the two were to take the time to get to know one another, they could become great friends. Dustyn can't really wrap her head around why Rhea is so worried and anxious about life, and often wishes she could get the girl to take a deep breath and enjoy a moment. Two similar souls, but on two very different paths.
| M A R C E L L A . B O N A P A R T E {☯} | "I grabbed her boob once, it was nice." Marcella and Dusty aren't the closest of friends, but they have rubbed elbows out and about in the town. She accidentally grabbed her boobs from behind in a bar once, thinking that it was someone else. Dustyn lets her know about it every time they see each other. They could probably become close friends if they really put some time towards one another.
| H U N T E R . E M E R S O N {☯} | "He replays my snapchats sometimes." While Dustyn appears to be a little bit of the intimidating side for poor Honey, he often is a good sport about her shenanigans. He and her have more fluent conversations on snap chat and text than in real life, but Dusty doesn't judge him for it. She hopes that one day he can open up a little bit more in person. She enjoys his company while she is online either way.
| D E L I L A H . W E L L S {⚜} | "I like her name, it's quaint." These two don't really hang in the same crowd or have much to do with one another at all. She seems nice, but don't have anything bad to say about one another. The two probably won't be friends anytime soon, but you never know what could happen. Life is strange like that.

Personal Information
Name: Delilah Ann Wells
Nickname: Lilah, Flower Child
Birth Date: May 11, 1998
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Delilah's dark brown locks are curly and long to the point where they almost reach her waist. Most of the time she leaves it down but ties it up when she is gardening. Her cheeks are rosy and filled with life and her green eyes are framed by her long eyelashes. Delilah is more on the short side, standing at only 5"4. She has a petite body type or as her father would have said "she's as skinny as a stick and as flat as a board". While she does occasionally wish she was better endowed or taller, she is rather comfortable with her body. Having a goddess as her mother was advantageous as she never had to deal with acne, scars, or other flaws on her skin.
Clothing Style: While working in her garden, she would wear blue-jean overalls with a plain t-shirt underneath. While she is just hanging out with friends or at the academy, she is usually seen wearing a lot of sundresses or maxi dresses with floral patterns. For footwear, she would honestly prefer to go barefoot, but wears sandals as the next closest thing and gladiator sandals if she wants to be fancy.

Personality:
♦ Patient ♦ Down to Earth♦ Optimistic ♦ Gullible
Delilah is a kind girl who always tries to see the best in everyone even if they have done many wrong things in the past. She is humble and rarely brags, nor does she find any reason to. But that does not mean she is insecure, rather she is simply satisfied with herself. While friendly and patient with others, she is also easily fooled and trusts people too easily for her own good. And once she is fooled, she is still quick to forgive and still believes in them.
Background: Delilah grew up with a single dad in Sacramento, California. She spent most of her life helping her father out on their farm. Always cheerful and glad to help, she never once thought about where her mother might be and easily accepted her father's lack of an explanation. All she knew was that to her father, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and that things were complicated.
Life on the farm was a peaceful one, and the harvest always turned out well, which was no surprise. Until one day, the Academy came to claim her as Demeter's daughter and take her to their school for demi-gods. She was sad to leave her father behind, but excited for the new life ahead of her. As she was saying goodbye to her father, Demeter sent her a message assuring her that her father would be fine on his own and that the goddess herself would make sure his farm will continue to thrive.
Extra: My favorite goddess is Iris.

Personal Information
Name: Rhea Psomas
Nickname: Ree Fuck-Up (Reserved for family)
Birth Date: April 15th
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Rhea has a pretty bright face for someone so steeped in self-doubt and worry. She is constantly battling her perceived relationship with her father and while it may not show when she is with others, if one catches her unawares they will find a very different young woman. Typically she has toothy grins, bright hopeful eyes, and a calming sense of stability to her. However, when one isn’t looking at the girl, if she is surfing or hiking, she is a much more tired soul. Rhea finds herself constantly emotionally battered by her own sense of worry and doubt over the power she might wrought. She has a rather fine posture, and typically speaking is attractive by most American metrics. She is typically seen without bangs, letting her hair fall down to the top of her back. Her hair tends to lean to her right.
She has a shade of blue eyes most easily likened to the Great Barrier Reef. She has a rather straight figure, rather muscular legs due to her great experience with hiking and surfing. She tends to keep in shape and it's rather noticeable, especially in her bathing suits. She also tends to dress as if it was warmer than it is she is still rather unused to the colder temperature. So it isn’t uncommon to catch her with goosebumps and shivering.
Clothing Style: Living near the beach most of her life, Rhea has gotten into the habit of wearing a bathing suit underneath her clothes. Typically the clothes concealing that is a baggy tee and a pair of shorts for the weather. Though on some colder days she has been known to wear leggings or jeans. When she is unconcerned about her appearance she can also be seen wearing a large comfy sweater and a pair of sweatpants. She is typically speaking dressing more for comfort than somone else’s viewing pleasure. She never owned a purse, instead carrying any money she has with her in her back pocket. She never found the need to use a purse and found them more cumbersome than helpful.
Rhea is a strictly bikini type of girl. She doesn’t believe she has the body type to pull off a one-piece suit as far as she is concerned it isn’t even an option.
Delving Deeper
Quirks/Oddities/Habits
Rhea tends to play with her hair incessantly when her powers work without her knowing.
While she is stronger in water and is technically speaking much more dangerous to others, she still cannot help but venture out to the sea.
Rhea actually enjoys the chase all too much. The flirting, subtle glances. If she is in to them there is no stopping her from trying.
Rhea tends to swear more than she wishes she did - it can get pretty awful.
Rhea is almost always aware of the nearest body of water down to the centimeter it is from her. She also has this sense about fault lines.
Likes:
Warm, but not too hot, tea. Preferably English breakfast.
Lakes, seas, most bodies of water as long as they are large – perhaps it’s the Poseidon in her, but even each single fish is a fascination to her.
Disney films.
Being treated as delicate. She is rather used to being treated by a monstrosity by this point.
Hiking into the wilderness and the views that accompany this activity.
Dislikes:
Destruction.
Death.
The sensation of something being too hot. Warm weather is not a good example, rather burning one’s hand on a kettle.
Reminders of home anything really, she’d rather just move forward.
Sunny days.
Fears:
Her own strength.
Being confronted by someone who knows the accidents she has caused.
Having to make decisions that greatly impact others.
Personality:
♦ Scared ♦ Hewed ♦ Friendly ♦ Loving
For someone who tends to have an on again off again relationship with destroying small towns, Rhea loves life. Her namesake is somewhat of a tragic one, the irony is not lost on her. Should nothing be embellished about the big guys, Rhea is the entirety of the reason Zeus outlived Cronus and came to rule Olympus. The entire reason her father was regurgitated by his own father. But it seemed the name was meant for irony as Rhea’s power followed her through life. She has always felt a feeling of resentment, yet respect for the gods. She isn’t one to let her anger take over her other emotions, but she wishes to rid herself of her power. The ability to cause the earth to shake is completely awful and it seems the earth shaker’s reputation will, no matter what be passed down onto her. Rhea spends a lot of time alone and thinks on these thoughts for hours a day. She is absolutely terrified of her own strength and yearns for a simpler life. However, she knows that no amount of yearning will change anything at this rate.
Because of this Rhea has hewed herself to the societal role of demigod. She realizes that she isn’t completely surging with positive impact for society and no amount of control will stop that. However, pretending she doesn’t possess these powers will never make anything better so she is set on improving her own abilities and making the world a slightly safer place. Because of this outlook she can be seen as one of the preppy members of the school, but it isn’t all so bad. A certain amount of peppiness and joy in one’s task usually leads to better results. This too is not lost on Rhea.
Rhea loves the idea of having people in her corner and often times will surround herself with people who will tolerate her. This has been a tactic for most of her life, because it seems that when she is more or less happy, her powers are much more manageable. The only time they got truly out of control was a moment of great distress for her and thusly the theory tends to line up rather well. Thusly, Rhea tends to go out of her way in order to befriend others. She is always offering little sentiments that can be viewed as a little much by some, but typically dropping off some breakfast and tea to someone’s door in the morning is not completely uncommon.
The thing about thinking the people who are ‘supposed’ to love you don’t, is that you look for that love. You feel unable to exist it doesn’t exist, rather you believe it has just been pushed onto some other person. Thusly, Rhea sees things that she often times projects onto others. Not many people will grow to love a walking disaster, but if Rhea had been right every time she believed someone harbored strong feelings for her she would have a town full of raving supporters. Unfortunately, all she has insofar as that many people is a town of graves. Thusly, she tends to lean on people not only more than she should, but once she does she can fall for them rather quickly. Some people drink, some smoke, Rhea falls. Hard.
Background: While Rhea is approaching never talking about her past, it is the driving force of her life. Poseidon meeting her father was a rather droll engagement. Rhea’s mother was a Canadian woman on vacation in California. One godly thing lead to a slightly less godly part and nine months later, Rhea was born – in Lake Louise, Alberta. It wasn’t the life Poseidon would typically want for a child of his perhaps that is why she was given such a forsaken power. Rhea was a demigod, absolutely, but she also had five siblings who were fully human. They were all older brothers and they treated her equally like solid gold and absolute shit. It just depended if a boy was looking at her that day or not. Luckily for her, the boys weren’t quite aware of her bisexuality so towards her high school years, sleepovers were her escape.
Her mother on the other hand, was an entirely different fucked up part of her life. See her mother had gotten a bit of a god complex after having gotten away with what Medusa couldn’t, fucking the earth shaker of course. While the woman did possess the ability to love people more so than most people could, she unfortunately focused almost all that energy into herself. Many times Rhea had asked about where she came from, why her families signature traits were conclusively lacking in her own face. Why was the typical question, it was met with sneers that meant adoption to Rhea. Until one day, she asked what.
It was a rather rainy day, looking back on it, most likely due to Rhea. It poured all day, the more she thought about how exactly her mother could have had sex with a god, and then let the demigod child – Rhea lead a normal, subpar life. She asked to see her father, to speak with him, and her mother told her to try and go for a swim, see if he would be found in the suboptimal temperatures of Lake Louise. To this day Rhea still isn’t sure whether or not her mother knew that the temperature of water was largely unimportant to Rhea’s demigod physiology and that she could easily survive underwater. So she said okay.
Rhea trudged out in the blisteringly rain, which actually was cold due to the wind. She reached the beach and stopped. She glanced out at the rain smashing into the lake before she decided it was time to meet her father. To put an end to so many questions at once, it was both exhilarating and absolutely horrific at the same time. Yet she still found herself excited. It didn’t last long however. She got into the water and all seemed well. She was embraced by the water seemingly at home for perhaps the first time in her life. She felt the warmth of the impossible lake and once she was fully inside, she did not feel the strain to breathe. Instead she found herself dreading the next time her lungs would have to inhale the oxygen that awaited her above the surface. Strangely enough she felt more at home than ever before. But perhaps that wasn’t so strange as much as it was a false sign of hope.
False indeed it was, before long, after the wonderment of the lake ceased to bemuse her mind grew silent. Then it called out for Poseidon the mightiest of… Father. She just wanted to meet her dad. By the time she had finally pulled herself out of the lake nearly an hour had passed and her father was absolutely nowhere to be found. Not waiting for her on the shore like perhaps a film might paint it, not waiting in the lake. No longer in her heart or her dreams. Perhaps that day, in the middle of that rainstorm, perhaps Poseidon died. Certainly in a sense that was true. But in another, he was born. The side that rarely got the recognition it once did, the side that shook the lands of men and carved the shore. It was borne anew in his daughter.
That night, her brothers grew bored after a few Molson’s. They had recently found out about a boy who had been flirting with Rhea. It seemed that her brothers had decided to go on a midnight escapade to the boys who had been flirting with Rhea. They went in the night, took their mother’s jeep – it was surefire. Except of course it wasn’t. It was rather routine actually. They would go over, throw a little tilly and after the dust settled and the donnybrook had ended there stood a few very proud brothers and a very apologetic Rhea. It is at this juncture in the story, when Rhea replays it all in her head that she wonders if that hour in the lake had upset Poseidon. Perhaps another god. Of course, bad things happen more so than the average human is aware but when you have abilities like Rhea, you learn a lot more is the fault of men then what may initially appear to be true.
His father pulled out a hunting rifle and shot one of her brothers, his name was Johnathon. Their father had named all of Rhea’s brothers and their names were quite different than her own. That was something she had always loved. Johnny was actually a relatively safe kid all things considered with that family. Not safe enough of course, but some of her brothers would come to a much worse fate in just a few minutes anyway. By the time they made it home they were screaming bloody murder. By the time she had made it downstairs he was dead. The thing that most people don’t realize about Poseidon is that he was respected, not honored. This is because he carved the coast and sunk what didn’t stick to his will. Unbeknownst to many who live in Lake Louise, Alberta – they live underneath a fault line. By the time the dust settled and the waterspouts ceased their tireless dance around the lake, many were displaced and many were dead. Lake Louise, one of the greatest tragedies in the country’s history was all one young girl and her dead brother. Rhea was gone.
She was sixteen at the time and she moved to California. Her mother had told her once or twice in her drunken ramblings about her father, Poseidon the great earth shaker. So a month later when Rhea was finally standing on the coast, the sun beginning it’s morning rise, the ocean spitting waves at her. She called out, dug into the sand, waited. It was similar to the lake, but in a lake you don’t get waves like you do in an ocean. While Rhea was sitting there, allowing the water to gently caress the half of her that touched the ground, she could make out movements. Movements she recognized well from her mother in fact. The waves shooed her from the coast. They told her that this was no home for her, she belonged elsewhere, or nowhere. Truly, it didn’t change anything. The home she sought for some time was not beneath the waves with her father and he was indifferent to her mother’s death. Honestly speaking, Rhea hadn’t even summed up her emotions, the night is completely lost on her. She remembers something about her brother being shot, and she remembers a great beast approaching them. Perhaps that beast destroyed Lake Louise. Perhaps she did. It wasn’t an answer she wanted the answer to, and her father, the waves, the very sea itself could sense that.
Rhea has more realistic ideas of her father now. When she did end up meeting him, it was brief, to the point. Your power is too great Rhea, you need to learn control.
“Got it dad.”
Extra: Apollo is definitely my fav bae.
Godly Information
Godly Parent:
Relationship With Godly Parent: Rhea’s relationship with Poseidon is completely one-sided. She has spoken with the man once in her life and is typically unable to properly process emotions she feels that surround and conform to the missing father figure in her life. Typically speaking she blames Poseidon and herself for how she feels her powers will come to affect the world, negatively to put it succinctly. She feels like at this point there is no reason to start a relationship with her father, while this would infuriate many people, Rhea is typically more or less saddened by it. She wished for more and got much less. But she is attempting to play the hand she was dealt. Though she was never fond of the game they were playing in general.
Godly Abilities:
Abilities listed on a scale of most comfortable for Rhea to use, to least.
Sleep: Rhea is able to exist in water completely harmoniously. She is able to take a great fall, as long as she lands in water she will be alright. Water can heal her wounds, allow her a sense of clarity otherwise impossible outside of it and she can even walk on the bottom of a lake or shallow seabed and not have to surface for an hour. She is at her most comfortable in water. She is also able to walk on top of water controlling her buoyancy and ascending or descending incredibly quickly is very easy for her as long as she is in water. When Rhea touches water every aspect of her physicality is greatly enhanced, even during rainfall she becomes not only an adequate fighter but a dangerous one too able to process so much quicker due to her enhanced clarity.
See: Innately Rhea knows the exact position of the nearest Fault line and body of water.
Cry: When Rhea's tear ducts well up she is able to cause rainfall. She has been known to do this to herself at times, lightly hitting herself in the nose and thinking back to her past. She can use this as a trigger for her abilities at times. However, her father is not Zeus and as such she does not control per se the rain's amount. It is always the same, the natural hazard of torrential downpour.
Spit: Rhea is able to produce an incredibly fast waterspout that can carry hundreds of gallons of water from a large body of water onto dry land and into enemies and so forth. She is rather comfortable with this ability and thusly it is her strongest one. Though she is still unsure of herself and they can spin off out of her control. She can also technically summon more than one, however it is nearly impossible for her to maintain control of either when she does this. This ability is used by Rhea by thinking about the anger she feels and the water nearest to her. As such, and because of her sixth sense, she can form waterspouts by accident when she is feeling very extreme emotions.
Tear: Rhea is technically able to invoke earthquakes. Though she has never attempted to use this ability on purpose. When she is feeling very strong emotions, primarily sadness and anxiety and she focuses on a fault line she can cause the earth to rupture and shake. This can be absolutely devastating on a very large scale and she is in no way comfortable using this ability whatsoever.
Swallow: Rhea is unaware she possesses this ability, however she is technically able to use it. Swallow is what would happen should Rhea’s targeted fault line fall multiple miles offshore in the ocean. Later when she is able to target specific fault lines or bodies of water this may be possible, however currently she would have to be out at sea to accidentally use it. Currently she would need to be in a state of emotional anguish that is unlike anything she has ever felt. She would open up the fault line, not unlike tear and cause a tsunami to form. This could easily devastate entire coastal regions, but is both wholly inefficient for her to ever use in combat and almost impossible for her to even accidentally trigger.

Cecily, she’s definitely had a different life than me. I, it’s not there. What I was looking for when I first met her isn’t there. I was looking for the part of me that winces when someone says combat, when they insinuate that powers might come into play. It seems she has a much larger amount of control, which is really great. I feel happy for her. Really I do.
| Vanessa Charlotte Casey {☯} | "Another child of the big three. I guess I should get to know her."
She seems sad, though I think it’s unrelated to her power as a daughter of Hades. Even her relationship with Hades seems to be alright, which I should feel happy for her about. I just don’t understand how Hades the god of the underworld and death could possibly have a better relationship with his daughter than Poseidon. Is the sea really that vast?
| Avery J Stratton {☯} | "Avery is definitely a handful in every sense of the word. She can be nice if she wants to, but mostly she seems to care less about being nice to people than making sure everyone else thinks she is nice."
She’s like one of those girls from the movies. You know you’re watching a drama so when she strolls into frame smoking a cigarette and giving some lucky guy the fuck me eyes you know that she has a pretty messed up past. Hopefully it’s not too bad though, I’m sure with all that confidence it can’t be as bad as it is in the movies anyway. At least she looks good doing her thing.
| Jonas Highwind {⚜} | "Jonas is the tallest person I know. I feel like existing in a similar space as him is the most practical defense from any mean people in this school I could hope for."
There’s a certain stigma around children of Ares, that they’re idiots stuff like that. I don’t know why but Jonas seems like e was cut from a cloth that was intent on disproving that. I mean, he isn’t a child of Hera or something like that – but the man is smart and anyone who pretends he isn’t is doing just that. Pretending. I like Jonas, but I doubt I’m strong enough in my current state to impress him without leveling the state.
| Harada Danaye {⚜} | "Dana is really polite, and I’ve actually hung out with her so I’m making some progress!"
Dana came up to me one day and complimented my top, once we got talking about some of my other clothes she took me to a mall and we went shopping. Coincidentally that was also how I met Jonas. Ares kids, I guess they can carry a lot of bags. Not much was said and we don’t have any plans to hangout again but it felt nice. It felt so normal – I’m really not so used to normal. Maybe next time I’ll have to approach her? I haven’t really made up my mind I suppose.
| Webster O’Connor {☯} | "He seems pretty sure of himself, I’d say it’s a little more than confidence, but I guess what really matters isn’t the arrogance itself but the forgery in which it was crafted."
There isn’t much to say about Webster, he’s a smart kid and that’s about all there is to him. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of personality, I mean he’s nice, kind, but it feels like he’s holding parts of himself back in any conversation. I don’t distrust him as much as I don’t get him to be honest. Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing, I should be used to hidden depths by now but I guess I’m not. I made an ocean pun by accident. Dammit.
| Rebekah Anne Cross {☯} | "Rebekah is cool, I keep my distance because I think she prefers it that way but it’s not uncommon that I’ll catch her looking my way."
I think she might actually know about Lake Louise. If anyone was going to tie me to it it’d be her and I think the signs are starting to become too clear. I haven’t exhibited any noticeable power – especially as a child of Poseidon. I fear a daughter of Athena would definitely be the one to make the connection of natural disaster and Poseidon or his children. I don’t really know what to do but smile at her when I catch her eye line.
| Skye Zachary Woodsen {☯} | "He’s a flirt, usually I find that sort of thing enticing but I fear the thrill of the hunt will be lost on this one."
He’s a little loud mouthed. Likes to jump into arguments or at least participate in them. I’m sure he’s nice and he seems fairly loyal but I don’t think I could ever be interesting enough to hold a conversation with him. Personally I think the son of Aphrodite might need to do a little learning when it comes to love.
| Dallas Relo {⚜} | "Dallas is my dream. To be that carefree, that happy and balance your life with the lives and jokes of those around you, it’s – it’s really nice."
Dallas is nice to be around. Sure he’s kind of a carefree spirit and he says things he probably shouldn’t, but you forget about all the serious shit and just live for a little. It’s nice having him around and I appreciate him being there more than he realizes, even though we’ve barely met. Hopefully he can become a friend of mine one day. I find myself saying that a lot nowadays, it’s kind of embarrassing. If Dallas heard that he’d probably make some joke about cheering up though, so I think I’ll follow that advice.
| Marina Dixon {☯} | "Marina is really popular, but that’s no surprise. She’s stunning and she’s a daughter of Apollo I don’t think there’s much more you could throw onto that to make popular."
Marina is really nice! She always says hi to nearly half the people she sees in the hallway or anywhere else and because of that I think she’s probably got a lot of friends. I guess I don’t really know anything about her though, and she doesn’t know anything about me. But I guess that’s just how it is these days. It’s for the best really.
| Dustyn Taylor Flint {☯} | "She’s pretty, and she seems nice which is a nice departing from most of the girls in my hometown. Maybe we can be friends one day."
I haven’t really spoken to Dustyn all that much but she seems to have a fairly clear outlook on life. Do what I want or it isn’t worth doing at all. I wish I could follow something like that – I really do, but it’s just not likely for someone like me. She seems to be having a good time in life though. Hopefully she appreciates that. The lack of chains binding her to a reasonable floor.
| Adachihara Kazuma {☯} | "Kaz is the most passionate person I have ever met, and I even met a child of Nike once!"
I haven’t spoken to him much but I don’t think you’d need to speak to Kaz to realize what he’s about. Hopefully one day I can capture the honour I see in him, but either way I’d like to work with him. Word on the streets is that Kaz is one of the stronger demigods. Dionysus must be thrilled. I guess if I want to be friends I should go talk to him sometime – but he’s intimidating.

Personal Information
Name: Marcella Aveline Bonaparte The Second
Nickname: Ella, Marcy
Birth Date: October 10th
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: She’s proll coming after u no matter what
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Marcella stands around 66 inches tall and has a slender figure, not too different from most members of the Hades family. People tend to also point out that she is short, just like Napoleon. She sighs a lot. She is typically seen having loose curls in her long black hair and her narrow eyes tend to give her a cold case of RBF (Resting Bitch Face). She has rather toned calves from hitchhiking for so long (nearly 2 years), and all things considered she’s in a good physical shape, but she’d never overpower an Ares kid. She is typically seen with a group of people, she doesn’t dig the whole solitude thing after spending so much time in foreign countries.
Clothing Style: Marcella wears designer everything. Having the infinite money glitch in life makes it rather easy to accomplish buying only designer clothes. She sometimes wears a scarf, however she realizes that in a scuffle that may not be the best of ideas. Thusly she can typically be found in either a summer dress, or rather form fitting clothes. The most distinctive thing about Marcella’s attire is that she wears an absurd amount of jewelry. This is so that she can use it in combat should she need a projectile and not have time to dig one out of the ground. Typically speaking this is a defensive clothing choicem it will usually be her rings first, then earrings and finally her necklace. She also keeps a few pendants and other types of jewelry on her person in case of emergencies.

Personality:
♦ Fearless ♦ Affable ♦ Apathetic ♦ Jovial
Marcella tends to not give a shit about being afraid of things. She's the first to volunteer in a group - especially for something that could be deadly. In this way she is somewhat of a deathseeker. However, the key difference is that she is not seeking death, instead she simply does not care if that is the destination. As such she is completely willing to take rash risks for high reward. Typically, she has a fairly competitive side, however she does not participate unless their is some form of profit to make out of it. Because she does have the infinite money glitch in life she does not care as much for monetary reward, instead she sees profit as different experiences in which she can partake in.
Marcella tends to get along well with just about anyone who can keep up with her attitude. For this reason she has typically been known to jive well with Ares children and Athena children. This is because the god and goddess of war and battle strategy tend to pass on a similarly nihilistic view of life that tends to be indiscriminately opaque. You live, and then you die. So you might as well live. This is primarily where her joy for life comes from, as is the reason she went on a world tour.
Marcella almost always expresses disinterest in the need for funerals and the general tradition around death, having become incredibly well versed in what happens to someone once their physical body dies. Because of this she tends to avoid the events of try to stay silent, because she typically does little else but upset those attending when she speaks at them. That being said, she isn't without tact - she can always put on a pretty pouty face and play with jewelry as if she were anxious when need be.
Background: All things considered, Marcella may be one of the healthiest demigods around as far as parental relationships go. She grew up going to the underworld as a child and Hades and her mother actually stay in touch, they're kind of pen pals. When she was seven years old it was explained to her what and who she was, her importance to this world. Her father attempted to teach her the ways of the underworld, but because of her being partially raised in the environment all efforts to scare her or jostle the small girl proved largely ineffective.
Her father was her teacher throughout most of her life and he was able to teach her a great deal of things. Even how to instill the fear of death that she did not understand into others. This came along eventually with his most precious ability, literally not figuratively. Hades taught her Ferrokinesis and the ability to pull gems from the ground. He also taught her that with great power, came great responsibility. So reasonably speaking, she considered the fact that she immediately sold millions of dollars’ worth of gems in order to afford brand new designer clothing quite responsible. She was helping the recession, or so she would tell herself as she tried on her new dresses.
She later learned how to make it seem much more natural, she would go diving for buried treasure and strike big every time. At one point, TLC wanted to create a show about her natural talent for hitting it big in the ocean, but she rather rudely declined. Telling them that they weren’t worth her time. They’d get over it eventually.
Marcella decided that money was fine, but it was boring. So she decided to strike it big one last time and go to travel the world. She packed her bags and by the time she was sixteen and could legally qualify for a passport she was off in the world. She started in the Americas, made her way to Europe and by the time she had turned 19 she decided she would end her journey partway through Asia, to leave herself the corners of the world for her next travel. She had decided to attend Olympus Academy, and Hades, the ever-proud father that he was politely told her that it was a shitty idea.
She said fuck it and decided to show up for orientation anyway.
Extra: Poseidon looks cute in a bathing suit ~
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Hades
Relationship With Godly Parent: Hades and Marcella have always had a rather healthy relationship. Typically, she spent weekends in the Underworld when they were free and she would often communicate with her father, whether through carrier pigeon or by Marcella giving the damned a message before allowing their soul onwards to Hades. He even let her judge fifty souls on bring your child to work day when Marcella was 14. That was a good day. For her, not for the souls – unfortunately eternal damnation has a much more interesting process than redemption.
Godly Abilities: ‘Hey u good?’ (Necromancy): As a daughter of Hades, Marcella has divine authority (partially) over death and it’s domain as a state of being. This means many things, primarily she can contact the dead and speak with them, and she’d make a great detective. Another tool however is sensing death, put Marcella in a crowd and she can tell you who is near their death whether it is by the fates will or cancer’s. However, one feature of her necromancy that sets her apart from most children of Hades is her lack of fear towards death, in fact the pure apathy she feels towards it. Because of her lack of emotion she cannot harness the energy to summon the undead like many children of Hades, though she still can communicate with them. Instead, she is able to instill a distinct fear of death in others, similar to what Hades can do. She does this by radiating death and terror to the degree of causing a palpitation of the heart and literally causing people to lose their minds. Those strong of heart and character can of course resist this.
Rosebud: A form of Ferrokinesis, though many forget that Hades is the god of wealth, Marcella can sense and summon any quantity of precious metals and jewels from under the ground as well as manipulate them. This is how Marcella survived when she decided to hitchhike around the world. This is also the reason for the abnormal amount of jewelry Marcella wears, in order to use it potentially as a weapon if necessary. She can shoot a precious gem as if it were a bullet, the general weakness of this ability though is that she must maintain eye contact on the gem she is manipulating. The only exception is when she is pulling gems from the earth, in which case she must keep two hands firmly planted on the soil and close her eyes – severely limiting the usefulness in the heat of battle.

Personal Information
Name: Rebekah Anne Cross
Nickname: Bekah. Used at one’s own mortal peril, unless you are fortunate enough to be on a very, very small list.
Birth Date: 2/29
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Not your business. (Bi)
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Slightly above average height. Rebekah is striking in a decidedly understated manner. Much less understated is her exceptionally long black hair, frequently worn back in a ponytail (equestrian quips are uttered at one’s own risk) to keep it out of her way. Her complexion is a little shy of pale, as though she doesn’t spend as much time in the sun as some, but still more than others. Her eyes, on the other hand, are a blue gray. So gray, in fact, they strain what would normally be considered possible. Inheritance from her godly parent, if one had to guess. The color has been called ‘unnerving’ by those on the wrong end of her ire, and ‘intense’ by those who perceive her usual demeanor. A demeanor that generally leaves her expression stoic; mouth set in a neutral line, with her eyes focused intently on her latest project.
Clothing Style: The specific reason for Rebekah’s understated appearance, in large part, would be her I-don’t-really-care-chic sense of fashion. She’s internally consistent in her choices, but she doesn’t care much about how she dresses. Jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie work as well as jeans, a shirt, and a sweater. For any and all occasions short of an event explicitly labeled “formal”, in fact. Sometimes her shirt will near a witticism or reference, other times it will be a solid color. Colors, however, generally tend towards the darker/bluer end of the spectrum. With a few notable exceptions, most will be some shade of blue, purple, green, black or gray. Footwear is strictly functional; sneakers.
When it comes to bags, however, there are to be no compromises. Messenger style only, with a primary compartment suitable for carrying multiples books in addition to a 17” laptop. And on top of all of that, any chargers or notebooks she happens to be carrying. A small pocket for blue light-negating tinted glasses is a must, in the event of extended work time on the go.
Quirks/Oddities/Habits At least five
Projects. Completely separate from any work assigned to her, Rebekah will invariably have between one and half a dozen projects going on the side, ranging from research to invention.
Multitasking. Specifically, full attention during a conversation is quite uncommon. Rebekah generally multitasks at all times, so the lack of full attentiveness can be mistaken for dismissiveness.
Keeping her hands busy. The more focused she is, the more likely she is to be twirling a few strands of her hair, spinning a pen, or otherwise fiddling with whatever object is close to hand.
Thinking out loud. This can sometimes be as simple as a few words muttered under her breath here and there, or as involved as explaining her entire thought process to whatever audience stand-in she has so as to better understand it herself.
Heavy caffeine and caloric intake. In order to keep up with the amount of calories her speed burns, Rebekah tends to eat quite a lot of food when she finally sits down to eat. Coffee is consumed in large amounts as well, to keep her awake long enough to keep working on whatever project is holding her attention.

Personality:
♦ Quiet ♦ Intense ♦ Calm ♦ Introverted
Rebekah Cross is a firm believer in speaking only when she has something to say. Small talk for small talk’s sake simply fills a void that rarely needs filling. Idle chatter is neither informative nor purposeful, so she rarely indulges. Her quiet nature, however, belies a mind that never stops working. She never stops thinking, no matter the time of day, about whatever has her attention at that particular moment. Most people… Are very much a distraction. Idle chatter is the name of the game for many, and given that she doesn’t play ball, she can come across as very detached. Not quite antisocial, but definitely introverted.
If one manages to get in her good books, however, they’ve earned a long-term friend. One that, to the shock of many, doesn’t really stop talking. Long diatribes are a firm indicator, unbeknownst to many, that she actually cares enough to tell you what she’s thinking.
Background: Athena has never been quite like the other Gods or Goddesses. What attracts many is meaningless in her eyes, while what is meaningless to many is meaningful. As a Goddess of Wisdom, she is attracted by exactly that. Wisdom. Which goes a long way to explaining why she was drawn to a small-time author in the American Southwest. Their relationship wasn’t very long, but it was long enough for Rebekah to be conceived. They parted on very pleasant terms; part of wisdom is knowing when something won’t work, and expecting a relationship with an immortal Goddess to last is definitely on that list. That isn’t to say, however, that they ceased all contact; unlike some of her siblings, Athena stopped in from time to time to see her daughter. Advise Rebekah’s father on his writing career when he was out of ideas, as well. She isn’t the Goddess of Inspiration for nothing.
Nor was Rebekah her daughter for nothing. She showed an exceptional intelligence from a very early age, and worked out for herself (long before her father was ready to tell her) that her mother wasn’t quite normal. Both parents gave her the full explanation when she was barely in her teens. If anything the knowledge made her more driven. She was a high school graduate by sixteen, and taking classes at the local university by seventeen. Despite offers of admission from more prestigious schools, supporting her attendance financially wasn’t a possibility. Not right away, at least. She intended (and intends) to transfer schools in order to finish her degree, but Olympus Academy is another step on the road before she does. She took a break from university courses on her mother’s suggestion, recognizing that while she could learn normal subjects with ease whenever she wanted, the understanding of her heritage that the Academy offered couldn’t be found elsewhere.

Godly Information
Godly Parent:Athena
Relationship With Godly Parent: Friendly, though not necessarily all that close. Athena made an effort to be around during her daughter’s life, at least from time to time, but her very nature made it impossible to really be Rebekah’s mother. They’ve been closer since Rebekah learned of her real nature, but Athena is still more of a semi-maternal adviser to her than a family member. Whether this is exactly as she would like it, or if she would like something closer, is a piece of knowledge kept close to Rebekah’s chest.
Godly Abilities: She Who Knows Herself: Fitting for the daughter of Athena, Rebekah is blessed with the ability to analyze and understand that which she sees. Be it magic, technology, or somewhere in between she can fathom its inner mechanics and principles. In simple terms, if she sees it, she can understand what makes it tick. Ancient’s Memory: More mundanely, Rebekah has a nearly perfect memory. What she sees, hears, feels, tastes, thinks or smells; she can remember all of it with perfect clarity. Hippeia: Rebekah is exceptionally fleet-footed; supernaturally so. Athena was worshipped under the title Hippeia, ‘of the horses’, for her invention of the chariot. From this aspect her daughter derives her godly speed and sure-footedness. Promachos: The First Fighter. She who fights in front. Though best remembered as a Goddess of Wisdom, Athena was a Goddess of Strategy, as well. Specifically embodying strength, the strategy of war, and justice. In this way she is as much a martial a figure as she is a wise one. From this her daughter inherited the ability to win her fights not through brute strength, but through preparation. With the proper understanding of her needs she can craft a tool, provided there is some kind of material at hand, and imbue it the properties she needs at that moment. As a Goddess of Strategy, known her her invention, Athena’s parentage permits Rebekah whatever tool or weapon she requires; provided she has the wisdom to understand her needs, that is.

[hider=Zeus Children] | Cecily . Merrick {Symbol} | "Paternal issues. These seem to crop up frequently amongst the children of Olympians, but even more so among the children of Zeus. Friendly. Very friendly. Much too energetic. Well-meaning, but little grasp of boundaries. Preferably keep at arm’s length." Observed only from a distance. Cecily is much too extroverted for Rebekah to have much of any desire to become very acquainted with her. Not out of any particular animosity; Rebekah just finds such people exhausting.
| Zachariah . Rothschild {[color=000000]☯[/colorl} | "The son of Zeus, with evident paternal issues. Nevertheless very much the archetypical son of an “alpha male” God, as much as I find the term disdainful. Cocky. Aggressive. A learned need to be the Good Samaritan, if I had to guess, in order to spite his father. Desiring to be different from Zeus is a noble goal, given his… reputation, but he requires self-awareness of their similarities if he wants to highlight their differences.
I avoid him. If he gets competitive with me, he will learn basic physics; lightning strikes once, then it is grounded. " Arm’s length at best. Rebekah has rarely interacted with him personally, but finds Zeus (and the majority of his children) distasteful.[/hider]
| Marcella . Bonaparte {Symbol} | "Unabashed. Children of Hades seem predisposed to complexes regarding their godly domain, but Ms. Bonaparte does not share this predisposition. If anything, she revels in it. Whether she is to be trusted or not has yet to be certain. While not actively malicious, some doubts remain as to her goals and morality. Particularly regarding the use of the van in my possession. Once answered the door wrapped in a welcome mat.
This event is mutually not discussed. Willing to assist with the procurement of raw materials for projects, making her more of an asset than a detriment so long as her trustworthiness remains intact." A relatively recent acquaintance, but one Rebekah has gotten along with rather well.

Children of Zeus and Poseidon traditionally have very evident inherited gifts, but Ms. Psomas demonstrates none thus far. Rather shy, as well. Not antisocial, as she seems to have a preference for the company of others, but seems uncomfortable with any real familiarity. Does not dissuade her from working earnestly at making friends.
Few words exchanged, but seems well-meaning enough. Have been doing a degree of background checking. Name seems familiar, and circumstances regarding time before Olympus Academy seem suspect.
No link to the Rhea of mythology. Thus far." A very new acquaintance. Rebekah has only spoken with her on a handful of occasions, but has observed with a fair degree of curiosity.

[hider=Ares Children] | Danaye . Harada {[color=ff0000]♫l[/color} | "Not the archetypical descendant of Ares (or Mars, the identity the God himself purportedly feels nostalgic for), in may ways the equal and opposite force. Excellent companionship for most occasions. Good taste in food, amicable silence, and willing to provide opinions on an honest, realistic level. Easily persuaded by milkshakes. Avoid “The Grudge” at all costs.
Excellent markswoman; modified M1911 stored in spare DDR pad. DDR pad is to be stored in spare room if watching a horror film. Zaheen’s aid was required to fix it after the last time, and the bullet is still in the wall behind the TV stand. Japanese is her first language. Slowly learning by observation. Ares children seem to have fondness for learning the language. Investigate further?"
Rebekah’s closest friend, quite easily. Though this can be odd to observe. Mostly due to their respective silent natures.
| Jonas . Highwind {Symbol} | “Also not the archetypical descendant of Ares (though Highwind seems to indicate preference for his Mars identity), but this is more concealed. Avid weightlifter. His fitness regimen is well structured and followed thoroughly, leading to an excellent state of physical fitness. Not that it is inherently required. His Godly gifts permit an inhuman level of physical capability already. His ability to summon from his Father’s armory is reminiscent, in a roundabout fashion, of Promachos.
Excellent physical combatant. Regular sparring bouts occur. Each one, win or lose, is information to be used for the formulation of strategy later.
A closet “weeb”, as Relo insists. Ms. Dana seems to agree albeit not in the same terms. Once made a reference to “my smile protecting itself”. I do not understand the remark." A friend. Highwind has been a consistent ally, if not as close as Rebekah allows most to get, for the duration of her time at OA. Frequent sparring sessions have accelerated her capabilities.[/hider]
| Webster . O’Connor {☯} | "Technically my half-brother. Mother introduced us upon his arrival at OA, but little contact has been maintained. Intelligent individual, as befitting one of our lineage, but a little arrogant. As his studies are the previous year to mine, we have few projects in common. No ill will is present, on my end, but there is no closeness.
I do not invite him to coffee with Mother. That is ours." Though technically familial, Rebekah does not look on their relationship as such. Family is not defined by one’s blood, but by one’s relationships. As Rebekah has no real relationship with Webster O’Connor, nor any real inclination to forge one, he remains an acquaintance.

Nevertheless, proven to be a reliable ally." An oddly symbiotic relationship. Dallas Relo is a friend, at first, by association; as Highwind’s best friend, it was impossible for her not to cultivate an at least civil relationship with the son of Apollo. Over time that relationship has become friendlier.
| Mariana . Dixon {⚜} | "Relo’s sister. Pleasant enough. Truthfully, I have had little to do with her. Ambivalence." Not someone Rebekah has had much to do with.

Personal Information
Name: Harada Danaye
Nickname: Dana
Birth Date: April 1st
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Dana doesn't cut the type of figure you would expect from the daughter of Ares. She is taller than the average woman, especially one of her ethnicity, standing at around 5'10" and weighing in at 110 pounds. Though every muscle is outlined and taken care of from non-isometric exercise, her natural light weight in proportion to her height gives her a slim, willowy appearance. Dana herself is a pretty girl, with high cheeks, a button nose, and sculpted lips that are usually drawn in an assured half-smile or glancing around inquisitively - an expression that is more common than ever after her move to America. The only uncontrollable part of her appearance is her short chestnut hair, faintly highlighted with crimson, which frames her face in unruly tufts.
Clothing Style: Frankly, it depends on where she is. Having spent most of her life in the rigid Japanese educational system and raised by a mother who made casual elegance her goal, on campus Dana's wardrobe tends to be fashionable and chic. Though not officially a school uniform (and much too relaxed besides,) she will rarely be seen in a class without a monochrome top on underneath a Chanel jacket, a tight skirt and slight heels. When out for a bite to eat, however, her clothing takes a large turn for the rebellious. If she wears a second layer at all, it will be a slim-fitting hoodie with a pocket large enough to stuff two hands and whatever electronic device they're holding inside. She's more likely to be found wearing a backless tank top and slim, tattered jeans, often with an unnecessarily tight red-and-black studded belt and a bracelet of the same color. A pair of casual footwear like TOMS or Keds usually substitutes for heels in cases like this.
It's also worth noticing that, even when dressed up, Dana is not above getting dirty. In case of a fight that sparks up like a wildfire, as so many fights do, her jacket will be effortlessly flung to the dirt and her heels kicked off directly into her adversary's gut. Professionals have no problem fighting barefoot, after all; should she be any different?

Quirks/Oddities/Habits:
* Break Yourself, Gaijin - As the local daughter of Ares, Dana is one of the small handful of goddesses for whom carrying weaponry is not only allowed, but expected. Bowing to the traditional bent of her family, she owns an uchigatana and a scimitar obtained by Ares during his last trip to Arabia. Keeping with the times, she also sleeps with one of her fathers guns inside a false DDR pad - an M1911 pistol specially chambered and modified to fire .454 Casull silver-cored hollow point bullets. In an ideal world post-Olympus, it is Dana's hope that this weapon can be used for piercing the skin of the Nemean lion, blowing the heads off hydras permanently, and playing a game of chicken with a Minotaur. * Control Issues - Dana often has problems when it comes to ending a shopping spree, often requiring subtle manipulation of those she is around in order to pay for portions of dinners and some of her clothes. Though such money is usually paid back in a timely manner, some knowledge of yen-to-dollar conversion may be necessary in the future. * Kamikaze! - Dana drives on the opposite side of the road from many Americans. * Kokoro no Ice - Dana loves playing the quiet game. She has been known to go upwards of four days regularly without saying a word - spending her whole first week at Olympus Academy last year in a relative cone of silence before she spoke her first sentence: "This shake is good desu." * Avid yaoi and yuri consumer. Contains sensitive yakuza documents in her suitcase. These should never. Be. Investigated.
Dislikes: *Prada *Louis Vutton *Cheap leather *Buying new denim *Mexican food *Driving on the right side of the road *How easy it is to miss a little thing like a speed limit *Wrestling *Beer *Whiskey *Being chilly *Being made fun of *Stereotypes or slights regarding her father
Fears: *No one *Loneliness *Powerlessness *Dishonor *Empty wallets *Beef with impurity *The Grudge
Personality:
♦ Quiet ♦ Forceful ♦ Polite ♦ Curious
Dana may sometimes say no more three sentences during the duration of a two hour conversation, but the fact that she tends towards aloofness in a conversational setting does not mean she's shy or timid. Rather, the daughter of Ares tends to look at a conversation partner with both hands cupping her chin, watching intensely for something behind the words and speaker. She may also choose to speak solely when it serves to earn her something - the culmination of being the daughter of a trial lawyer and an only child at that - but she's much more used to being straight-talking and frank than she is to manipulating people. If it comes down to that, that's why Dad made her eyes so big and her bottom lip so pouty. Dana's general choice of places to open up more tend to be anywhere where food is being served between two individuals, or on a shopping trip - things that entail both a reward and a chance for intimate conversation, removed from a small group. That said, she does have a quiet fascination with the wide open spaces that surround Olympus Academy, the total lack of hustle and bustle, and America's curious taste in idioms.
Background:
Believe it or not, even Olympians sometimes find themselves in a legal bind. Hermes' early bouts of thievery aside, not one god was taken to task for his or her sphere of influence quite so often as Ares, God of War. The bloodthirsty immortal would often find himself fighting a war with particular zeal and go too far in the eyes of man; in most instances, Zeus would allow Ares to spirit himself away, but once every few centuries the God of War was left to stew in his own hell. It was during one such situation in the last decade of the 20th century when Ares found himself on the wrong side of failed Yakuza interests in Japan, and a Yamaguchi-gumi retained lawyer was tasked to defend him from the investigation that followed. As absurd as it was, Ares followed the trial to completion, and was so impressed by the poise and cool under fire that his attorney displayed - not at all dissimilar to that of a trained elite - that the two soon fathered a child together.
Said resultant seed, Harada Danaye, grew into a quiet, independent girl with a penchant for laissez-faire leadership, but leadership nonetheless, of most group activities within the school. This, coupled with increasingly frequent visits from Ares as she sprouted into adolescence, nurtured the belief in the God of War that perhaps his daughter wasn't cut out to languish alone amongst humans in Japan for the rest of her life, and she found herself directed to Olympus Academy in a new country across the world. Thus far, the experience has proved a healthy one for her, even if it has reinforced some of her more aloof traits.
Extra: Hephaestus still best boy
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Ares
Relationship With Godly Parent: One of mutual respect and courtesy - though not one of particular familial closeness, Dana strives to do right by her father's honor without falling into a state of bloodlust. Her failures in this regard tend to be a source of amusement for her father, however; whether or not Dana realizes this is unknown.
Godly Abilities: Kiss Kiss! - The daughter of Ares is not particularly stocky, and though she is adept with several manners of weaponry she doesn't have much natural strength in her slim form. Using this power, Dana's body will react as though it's a phone hooked up to some invisible charger in a fight, channeling her feelings into a healthier source of adrenaline that increases her strength exponentially as her emotions grow hotter in a fight.
Bang Bang! - As stated above, Dana is adept with most manner of weaponry and can amplify their force, turning even improvised projectiles into a weekend in bed groaning. A paper dart jury-rigged to a rubber band may shatter the glass on a classroom door in her hands; any baseball thrown at the back of your head may cause more than a normal hairline fracture; if she ever gets so much as a shotgun in her hands and has reason to point it at you, she may as well be wielding the reincarnated Enola Gay in the palms of her hands.

Personal Information
Name: Dallas Brett Relo
Nickname: Dal, Son of the Sun, The Light that Never Dies, The Oakland A-Hole, "Miss Universe"
Birth Date: June 18th
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Dallas is young, tall and slim - at six foot even and one hundred and forty five pounds he tends to move around easily on his feet. There's a constant pulse of pure energy - Californian in nature, the kind of restlessness you can't find anywhere else on planet Earth - in everything he does, from sports to sleeping. That pulse lends itself to his exercise regimen - he has the body of a track and field athlete, with inexhaustible energy in his calves and quads, muscles in his triceps from heavy pull-ups, and a defined core. His upper body has improved considerably thanks to a hell of a regimen from his hardass buddy Jonas, and now combined with his powers Dallas can give as many hits as he can take. And he's stubborn and incorrigible enough to take a hell of a lot of hits.
Though when he came to Olympus a couple years ago he sported a much longer, shaggier hairstyle, as he grew up Dallas decided he wanted to clean up some. This resulted in him shaving his hair to a close crop along the sides of his head and pomading the top, leaving a swoosh of dark-blonde hair, highlighted with black, across the top of his head and down to the nape of his neck. The trail of hair straddles the small tattoo of a shooting star behind his right ear. His only other tattoo is unable to be seen unless he's removing his shirt (one of his favorite pastimes) in which you can see the words "Jesus Wants ME To Be His Sunbeam" in recruitment poster font across the center and right side of his chest.
Dallas' face is the first thing that commands attention from newcomers. His eyes are a vivid and electric blue, though those who know him well will notice that there is a small ring of constantly-shimmering gold around his pupils - broadcasting whenever one of his powers is active. Much like his jaw, his nose is strong but pointed, with a small, pale scar cutting diagonally across the bridge - he has a similar cut and pattern across his forehead, stopping halfway through his right eyebrow. They are the only visible blemishes on his lightly tanned skin, and his smile means you always have something besides them to stare at; when he grins, his teeth are white and clean, a bit small but well-kept and even. When he's not smiling, he tends to be thinking of something to trick somebody into helping him do or listening to music. This latter activity, despite being one of his energy sources, is where you can often catch the fast-talking Son of the Sun at his most peaceful - indeed, vulnerable. His eyes will be half-lidded or closed entirely, he will bite down softly on his bottom lip, and he will almost appear to be napping. Disruption of this peaceful state - or calling it adorable - results in a flareup of defensive mockery that will continue until the sun is a dried up ball of coal that couldn't charge a lightbulb.
Clothing Style: Preferring to let his ~svelte frame and pretty face~ do the talking for him, Dallas' clothing style tends to be as glamorously casual as possible; he tries not to let his dresser fetter him too much, while still trying to extol a sense that he cares how he dresses. Usually he'll be found wearing - on warmer days - a button tee and shorts, though he tends to consider slim cut jeans an all-year staple of his wardrobe. In the winter months, he trades up his cool, unbuttoned tops for a higher neckline and more insulation - sweaters, colored in various shades of the six main primary and secondary colors, each to suit his mood that morning. In particularly cold weather, he'll put on a half-unzipped North Face. Tends to complete the look with no show socks and Supra high tops, laces pulled out.
Accessories include one hemp bracelet on his right wrist and two on his left, an Oakland class ring on his right ring finger, and a St. Christopher medal from his Communion around his neck. Many a tooth has been chipped or a lip split by those who try to point out that his demigod heritage implies his Catholicism is a false faith.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits:
Dallas does not wink normally very often. More likely, to fuck around, he will wink with one eye, then its counterpart, and then wink with the first eye. This is often done when someone is in the middle of a sentence to disconcert them and has been known to work with beautiful, beautiful aplomb.
Dallas' favorite place to go in Olympus Academy is the gym. Despite aforementioned svelte frame, he does put a lot of work into his physical fitness and has been known to get particularly pouty if his gym time is cut into by some Greek bullshit that his dad would never actually care if he knew anyway.
Dallas discovered how to crack the barrier between Olympus Academy and the outside world during his first year, when he and Jonas were wondering what the hell was taking the Papa John's guy so long. Despite a volley of attempts to determine his method, Dallas has only breathed the secret to his most trusted capos, and is not expected to end his dalliances with the outside world on school nights any time soon.
Dallas currently has an arrest warrant out in the state of Utah for going 82 in a 55, obtained when he sped off from a cop last year in order to make the first day at Olympus.
Despite fervently claiming that he doesn't care about any of that "Jap bullshit" and insisting that his friends "talk to Dana if they want to get their kimonos in a knot about it," Dallas has spent much of the summer binging a list of beginner level anime that his squad cobbled together for him. It's not bad.
Despite fervently claiming that he has zero class and sophistication, Dallas is capable of cleaning up nice.

Personality:
♦ Charismatic ♦ Fearless ♦ Irreverent ♦ Charming
Dallas is a born bad boy currently undergoing a nauseating period of mellowing out. After a childhood and adolescence full of threatening to turn his mom a premature grey, Dallas has taken the beginning of his twenties in a much more easy going stride, mostly just grinning and bearing what would have once sent an explosive temper hurtling outwards at the nearest hostile face. Though his control issues aren't the best, the presence of his crew of friends and his penchant for managing to make new ones has left him with a constant support system, and whenever he fights now it's generally for pleasure and always a consenting matter between the other party (or parties) which has helped stave off the urge for him to break someone's cheekbone in twain when they talk down to him.
Speaking of which, Dallas absolutely hates being challenged unless it's by someone who has a viewpoint he actually respects. This, in combination with his natural boldness and stubborn nature, has gotten him into trouble more than once, as he displays a lack of regard or fear for consequences on his person that could be described as nearly psychopathic. This is something that his friends are having a hard time working out, as Dallas seems to possess such a natural dearth of fear or regard for his own safety that he seems to forget that injury to him hurts those around him as well.
In the past his sense of humor could be described as cutting, mocking, or even cruel, but as he's aged and matured he's been trying to make sure that people know that most of what he says is innocent at heart. There are times when hints of his old caustic nature can't seem to help but break loose, but he's giving it a shot. And even when he fails, his sheer unapologetic nature and bright smile - as if trying to convince you you're in on his joke - is just as likely to make you forgive him in no time. As a wise woman once put it,
"Oniisan, your friend is so kuudere desu."
Background: Born in Mill Valley, Dallas spent most of his time moving between Marin County and Oakland with his mother, a fitness model in Northern California. Learning at an early age that he wasn't going to get much out of her beyond the fact that he was "[his] dad's spitting image," Dallas fell into the oldest and noblest of traps for charismatic only children - he built himself a large group early in middle school that, gradually, metamorphosed from less of a group of class clowns into more of a group of wild, reckless teens with too much pent up energy. Eventually, as high school wore on, Dallas was getting himself into fights in school bathrooms, by lockers, even in the parking lots at athletic events. He lost his valued spot as a pitcher on the school baseball team, and by the end of his tenure in California he could be found with a black eye and a burst-lipped smirk on his face more often than not.
Though his future seemed in jeopardy as his future at school grew more fractured, his mother finally deciding to reveal the truth about his parentage seemed to temper his resolve. At the age of 15, Dallas ran away from home on a quest to find his father, god or not, and figure out what the hell he was supposed to do about it. He ended up being picked up ten miles outside of Reno by his own spitting image, driving a Maserati and rolling his eyes behind a pair of Prada shades. The resemblance was too uncanny to be bullshit, and Dallas hopped in the car to see where it would lead him. The Maserati ended up leading all the way to Olympus Academy, where Apollo left Dallas with one parting challenge across the bow:
"No man who ever called himself the greatest needed to convince himself how great he was. He needed to convince the world around him. If you're my son at all, this place will help you pull that off."
So for four years, he's attended Olympus Academy and worked on perfecting himself in as many ways as he can. By now, the effects are finally starting to become visible, even if he still is a little bit too much himself for his own good. This year, Dallas arrived to school a couple weeks late. The reasons for his tardiness in school have yet to be disclosed.
Extra: Based Hephaestus, putting the whole team on his crooked-ass back.
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Apollo, God of the Sun, Music, and Poetry
Relationship With Godly Parent: Affectionately exasperated. Dallas often toiled in his unknown father's shadow as a kid, but upon actually meeting him Dallas has managed to divorce himself entirely from the expectations that come from being the sun god's kid - which he believes may have been the point of his whole tenure at Olympus in the first place. The two keep in touch casually and often go out for a burger or a baseball game together, though the majority of their bonding is surface levels.
They're buddies more than they are father and son - their first meeting carried only the one inspirational nugget and no real reprimands about his behavior, and very rarely has any godly wisdom actually been imparted on Dallas himself - but Dallas has struck out for himself enough to earn a modicum of respect from his Olympian father. He's proven that he's not needy and that he's rarely in enough shit to swing his demigod privilege around, so when a favor or two needs to be floated Dallas' way, Apollo is usually willing to provide.
Godly Abilities:
Heaven, Let Your Light Shine Down - Dallas gains natural augmentation in strength, speed, and durability through sunlight. Dallas is a natural fighter, making this buff extremely substantial and harder hitting. He'll use this to great effect in hand to hand combat, which is his far-and-away forte. Outside of sunlight, this buff begins to fade after about two minutes, leaving him with only slightly heightened abilities that gradually dip until the sunlight's energy leaves him entirely.
Sunny with a Chance of Meathooks - Apollo is the god of music and poetry, so it only makes sense that his son would inherit natural ability in turn. When listening to music, Dallas' strength, speed, and durability stack to double that of his heightened capabilities, leaving him at a cumulative x4 stack. Whatever you do, if you're intent on pissing off, don't fight him in sunlight with his iPhone on. Seriously. Blot out the sun with locusts, break his iPhone, do something before he inverts your face's bone structure with a collection of hard crosses.
This power also has a passive, less harmless variation; when Dallas hears someone sing, he gains an empathetic bond with that person temporarily. The longer they sing continuously, the longer the bond continues, giving Dallas insight into their emotions and, to a more limited extent, their thoughts; after it stops, the bond will stay solid for around five minutes before starting to fizzle. By ten, it will be gone entirely.
Staring at the Sun - Dallas has a natural illusionary power, creating up to three illusionary copies of himself at a time to throw off opponents. They will perform the most basic of functions and fighting maneuvers to keep an enemy guessing, but as time goes on the copies will start to skip and "buffer," almost. In addition, their surfaces go crystalline, sleek and shiny; this makes it incredibly easy to ascertain which is the real Dallas and what are his copies, so he uses this power mostly as an escape mechanism for when he needs to reassess how his plan is going.
Though he's not averse to using this trick on his sister to grate on her nerves once in a while.
Ultralight Beam - Similar to his other two powers, this can only be activated when Dallas is standing in the sun for energy purposes - this power, however, is a different bent. As long as he is standing within the sunlight and feels comfortable enough with the open space he's standing in, Dallas can reflect the light source of the sun towards a target using his body as a conduit, in effect creating a six foot tall laser. This effect strengthens as his body temperature rises, but he has to stop before his fever reaches levels of hyperpyrexia.

| Cecily Merrick {☯} | "I ain't repeatin' myself." See Zach.
| Marcella Bonaparte {⚜} | "Don't let her fears fool you. That welcome mat ain't for show, fampai. She's taken all kinds of housewarming presents since I've known her. Cool as shit, though. Hear she turned Highwind's hair grey, can't complain about that." Believe it or not, he likes her.
| Rhea Psomas {⚜} | "Is she the one who's always kinda giving me the doe eyes? She ain't bad. Kinda cute, but she could use a pep talk.

| Avery {☯} | "Who?" Who?
| Halo Douglas {☯} | "Seriously, who? Is--ohhh. The International Man of Mystery Boners." He's too old for Dallas to know him, but seriously, how do you miss the school's only sex-bender?
| Jonas Highwind {☠} {♫} | "Fuck this guy. Fuck his gains, fuck his regimen, fuck his smirk, fuck his taste in waifus. I'm going to blind him in both eyes with a laser one day, if I don't cut his fucking head in half first. I'm going to fill his gas tank with sand and stick a zucchini in the tailpipe. I'm going to seduce his sister - not Dana, the other one - and I'm going to send him the video tape. I'm going to get rid of this smug otaku asshole one day...ah, hell, no I ain't." Anyone who says that he doesn't have a brother enrolled in the school will promptly have their nose rearranged. | Harada Dana {★} | "I ain't a fucking tsundere." He's got a soft spot for her, same as Jonas.
| Webster O’Connor {☯} | "See, I was doing good there for a second, then you had to go and throw me another mook. Webster's a pretty simp name though desu." Dallas would like him a lot less than his sister - if he knew or cared about him enough to realize he was Bekah's brother.
| Rebekah Cross {⚜} | "She the one who handles all the homework, or the one who scissors Jonas' sister? Oh, fuck, she's both?" Done more for him than St. Christopher ever has.
| Skye Woodsen {☯} | "Doesn't seem like the worst thing Aphrodite ever put on this Earth. What with the sheer dearth of A+ guys here outside of the boy, shouldn't discount him." If they were friends, the whole fifth year would be an iron curtain of chucklefuckery. Enough reason to keep him on the radar.
| Dallas Relo {☠} | "My grandparents stopped sending me money for Christmas after I lost my first three baby teeth in Grandpa's arm. Pretty much set the tone." A tried, true, and unimpeachable fuckup. But such a glorious one. The Fant4stic of sons of bitches.
| Mariana Dixon {☯}| "I miss Viv. Who?" He should probably know his own sister a little better. Oops.
| Tessa Galloway {☯} | "Where the hell have I been all these years? Are some of these new?" If he doesn't hang out with his sister that much, he doesn't have a chance with his first cousin.
| Delilah Wells {☯} | "Oh, her! Her I know. The cute midget. Yeah, she ain't that bad. Think she's in a class with my sister." His priorities are skewed.
| Adachihara Kazuma (★} | "With him around, I'm never gonna lose my way." Dallas does fight him a lot, though. It blows off steam.
| Felicity Underwood {☯} | "I don't talk to midgets." Midget.
| Alexander Reisender {☯} | "Alexander Reisender? What is that, a fucking Count Olaf alias? How many of these people actually fucking go here?" It's almost over, Dallas.
| Zaheen Ibrahim {★} | "Theeere we go, finishing strong. Good lad, guards my nudes from evil. Needs to get outta my room when company's over and try to mingle a bit, though." Zaheen will be Dal's greatest success one day.

He tries not to do that but sometimes, it just slips out. He is a huge flirt and will flirt with almost any guy or girl, gay, straight or bi. It's one of his horrible traits that he is trying to change but can't help it, at times. Overall, Skye is a very good and loyal friend to those that befriend.
| Background | Skye was born with a silver spoon within his mouth and honestly, loved every second of it. Whatever Skye wanted at the drop of a hat, he got it. If Skye didn't get what he wanted, he threw a slight temper tantrum until he was granted whatever he desired. But that was the young Skye. The Skye that had turned about nine years of age didn't realize that he was a godly offspring until he was feeling something that wasn't exactly his feelings. He didn't know what it was to be honest and ignored it until it happened again. He told his parents about his strange happenings and deemed him as a freak of nature but didn't ship him off to an orphanage, or anything of the sort.
Growing up, Skye taught himself how to hone his abilities but even developed a new one - Mind Control. It's a risky ability that he had learned and even got use to over time. When Skye became of age, his parents sat him down and explained to him exactly what he was - Even though they called him a freak of nature a few years back. He was confused and needed more proof so he set out and did some research. Turns out, he actually is the son of Aphrodite and even found out about Olympus Academy.
Skye told his parents that he was going there and immediately packed his bags and set off to the academy, where he still goes to today. Though, he doesn't live within the area, Skye is always excited when he goes back to Olympus Academy.
| Extra | I have a lot but I guess, Aphrodite would have to work. :)
| Godly Parent | Aphrodite.
| ]Relationship With Godly Parent | Aphrodite loved the day Skye grew up and became a natural beauty. She really loved Skye and flaunted over him many chances that she had got. She ultimately didn't want a son because figured that their appearance wasn't going to be the same as hers but when she saw Skye, that quickly altered. Skye loves Aphrodite with all of his heart and knows that the feeling is mutual.

Background: Devlin Tutela Chadwick was born on November 20, 1994 to a young and not married couple. Their names were Anise ChadWick and Dmitri Tate. And, just like every teenage parent, her mother thought that her father would stay around once she was born. That was not the case. One day when Devlin was three years old, her mom came home from picking her up from school to find her father was gone. No trace of him left in their home. After that, She had decide to give Devlin to her parents and ran off to find her "beloved" boyfriend. Devlin doesn't even remember her face. But, growing up with her grandparents wasn't terrible. They never showed Devlin any photographs of her mother just because they thought she would be upset. Unlike her mother they didn't have a lot money and tried to give Devlin whatever she wanted if they could afford it.
She didn't really have a normal childhood growing up. Her auntie, Anastasia came to live with them and had brought her husband and two boys in Boston in Las Vegas. It was nice, I guess, they treated as Devlin as their own. Devlin and her cousins got along great, When they had days off of school. They would spend it together working on the car her oldest cousin was trying to rebuild. Or they would have prank wars between the three of them. Her aunt use to tease them about how women's intuition was Superior to men's gut considering how it seemed that Devlin always evade their prank traps. Her family considered her to be a little genius, because she always seemed to understand how mechanical objects worked together or busy working on a project she thought would be good to use around the house.
When she turned fifteen, Devlin heard her aunt talking, well screaming to someone on the phone. Before she knew it Devlin heard her yell something about her, saying "You are not going to hurt her again!" She's a very smart person and could put two and two together. It was her mother and she wanted Devlin back. So, she asked for the phone and heard her mother's voice. She was terrified but before she knew it, They made plans to meet while Anise was in town. When they did meet, Devlin saw the wedding ring on her finger and found out that her boyfriend proposed once seeing each other once again. But, the one thing she told Devlin that changed her life is that her father didn't stay because he didn't want a child but because she wasn't his to begin with and she wouldn't tell him who's baby Devlin was. So, he left her until she choose. Him or Devlin. And she chose him. She found out that her father was a god, not God but a Greek god named Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and a bunch of other stuff in that category which maybe why she was able to know exactly what every type of machine was. Ok, she guessed she wasn't that intelligent. Devlin asked her why she was telling her this now, all Anise did was tell her about a school she had enrolled her in, that she would be attending next school year. Then she walked away. She didn't even say Goodbye, she just left Devlin sitting in the cafe they met in.
When Devlin had gotten home that night, she had told her grandparents that her mother had made arrangements for her to attend Olympus Academy next school year. They were surprised that Anise would be paying for her to go to school. They had told her if she didn't want to go she didn't need to; But she had already decided to attend Olympus Academy, when the next school year started. Maybe, She might learn something about her father while she is there.
Life at the Academy: So far it has been great, at first she had a rough start. She had felt agitated and out of place, She was having trouble keeping calm. Part of her was mad, that Anise and Hephaestus both abandoned her. Mad, that she could control her temper. Before she left, her grandparents house things, unexpectedly would set on fire. When she got upset. Her first few weeks, she ended up burning thing on accident. Till one day, she was pulled aside by one of the teachers. They had in a classroom by herself, till a man entered. She felt like he was familiar to her but, she didn't know why. When he smiled at her, She felt a surge of warmth. When he had told her, That he was Hephaestus. That he was her father. All the anger she had felt before, came rushing back. The tables around her started to burst into flames, before he waved his hand and the fires disappeared leaving charred desktop behind. He told her that, she was like her mother pressing down her anger till comes out all at once. He apologized to her, saying he thought Anise would take care of her and raise her good. But, he was wrong. He wanted to get to know her and help her gain control of her pyrokinesis. She cautious at first, when she meet with him for lessons. But, eventually she moved past her anger and always looked forward her next lesson. By, The time her first year had ended. She had better control of her powers and pretty good relationship with Hephaestus. Devlin was pretty much back to her old self before, she had met with Anise. She had also friends, who she knew she would do anything for. Sure, now that she is a Sixth year. She doesn't have the same friends as before, But was still friends with the ones who really mattered to her and had made new friendships as well. Now she just what this school year would be like. Extra: She has a sweets addiction, so she tends to keep a bunch of snacks on her at all times.

Personality:
♦ Blunt ♦ Kind at heart ♦ Dreamer ♦ Scared
What would you expect the daughter of a goddess such as Aphrodite to be like? The goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Would you expect a flirty nature and undeniable charm? An urge for romance as she searches for love? Beauty which she flaunts for all to see? A kind and giving heart as she walks with elegance? Flirty, no but she does indeed have charm.
Birdie can come off as a person that doesn't want to get to know you. Proper and organized is what she is. She is a sweetheart but she's a sweet heart that has a hard time with people. Birdie has an enormous wall around her that is thick and tall. Her relationship with trust is thin and merely there. Upon meeting someone, she will not speak much. It's that second meeting that means something. Her first meetings usually go fine but she just doesn't know what to expect of those around her. She doesn't know who is putting up a farce and who is actually being genuine. She can be pretty rude though. However, she just loves innocent people. At least, seemingly innocent people.
Birdie, a girl that can seem rather haughty but that isn't quite true. She actually has rather low self confidence on the inside. Birdie has always known that the confident and prideful like to feed on the weak. She knows that she does not like to be stuck up but she will put up a farce in order to not have to deal with certain things. When you get to know her, you would be surprised at some of the things that come out of her mouth. At times they can be cruel but at other times they can be extremely sweet.
She has always been one to be straightforward. If she thinks of someone as a friend, they'll know to the point of twisting that affection and thinking of it as romantic love. She will be loyal to them and help them in their time in need. Keep in mind though that she is blunt and she usually won't sugarcoat things. When it comes to love, besides her power, she has no idea about her own. However, Birdie is a romantic. She loves those romantic stories but she knows that they aren't real and she will never expect it to happen to her. 2 things that she has always been interested in are stars and flowers. She knows pretty much every star name, constellation, and flower out there. Ever since she was young she was obsessed with them.
Smart. That's for sure. But it'd have to be science she had the upper hand in. But she wasn't a fan in school so she stuck with being a violin prodigy.
Birdie, if you haven't noticed, likes to do what she wants. She isn't a "bad girl" rebel or anything but she won't be following any crowds and don't worry about peer pressure. Birdie just wants to do as she does and drift through life.
Background:
Little miss Birdie. Little miss Birdie's father was just a plain man that happened to have extremely good looks and was good at wooing ladies. Something he was not, however, was well off financially and mentally. Her father and Aphrodite had met by chance one day at a nice restaurant. Her father had just finished off a date and he encountered a beauty that looked like a goddess and evidently, was one. He automatically fell for her. His deep affection started with a little bit of stalking. Just to get some information before he finally went for it and asked her out. He had on his only expensive outfit and a bouquet of roses. Aphrodite said yes, of course, as vulnerable to such a gesture. And later they had Birdie. But not before Aphrodite found out the truth. That the man she had slept with was a poor, unfortunate soul. He had no money and there was no way that she would be taking care of a child that was from a bad upbringing. Even though her father spent some of the only money he had left on her, it was no good. One day, she was just gone. Poof.
With Aphrodite gone, her father was left with Birdie. A name he had given her 1 month after she was gone. He had seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker outside when he was walking in a forest in his home in Europe. Have you ever seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker? It's so simple yet so beautiful. 3 different colors that all meant something very specific to him. Red, a representation of burning passion. Desire. Love. Black, a color that supposedly associates with fear and the unknown. Because what does mankind fear more than the unknown? And white. White is so simple. A sheet of paper can represent purity. It can represent a successful beginning. That was why he named her Birdie and 10 years later, he put a collar around her neck that said so before leaving her in front of an orphanage in the rain at 10 years old.
At 10 years old, Birdie was a girl that rarely ever showed any expression on her face. A smile was never there and her eyes seemed lifeless. Her father had somewhat taken care of her for 10 whole years. Of course, he was filled with a small amount of love for her and her doll like face didn't help that it reminded him of her mother. Birdie's father would often come home drunk and at times he would get violent. Nothing too bad but just enough. However, Birdie had realized something. No matter the pain, she couldn't feel it. She couldn't feel it even if it left a mark and that scared her, usually causing her to cry from that rather than from pain. She would later find out that she had a case of congenital analgesia. This scared her because as a child, her heart was practically empty. She help little to no love for her father and her mother was just a whore she had heard stories about. She didn't feel sad about her situation but she didn't feel happy either. She just felt... unlucky.
The orphanage was a decent place. The mothers there were about as kind as they could be and the kids weren't of importance to her. She just stayed away from them for the most part. When she was 12 years old, she was adopted by an old couple that were both in their 60's and 70's. Sweet people they were and on the verge of death as well. The couple had longed for children for as long as they could remember. They already had one child that was 14 when she came into the family. A conceited and annoying teenager that wasn't a fan of Birdie at first. They had a young child of 10 years of age but he died from cancer 3 years before they adopted Birdie. So there she was with a new brother and a new set of parents.
Birdie had finally found that something that she was missing. That void in her heart had been filled. Her parents were very well off. They were even considered filthy rich by the size of their home. She took care of them as much as she could and they did the same. Her brother, Allen, wasn't easy to deal with. As they got older, he got even more irritating. A pervert and a brat is what he was. One night he had sneaked into her room when she was 13 and he was 15. What he attempted to do, she'll never know but she hit him as hard as she could, knocking him over and causing him to hit the size of the bed. He was in a coma for a little over 2 months. Birdie felt nothing but guilt and shame. She couldn't feel pain so she would never know how it felt when she hit him. After that, her brother held a grudge against her.
Birdie felt immense guilt and shame. She always felt like her parents wouldn't love her as much even though they said that they had forgiven her. She just couldn't feel right and always wanted to make up for it. So, she got straight A's throughout school, began to learn the violin, and joined a self defense class since her parents felt that she needed to be able to protect herself without killing anyone. Birdie had all this strength that she was practically afraid to use. And she had something else that she didn't have any idea she had.
As Aphrodite's daughter, she obviously had powers. Powers that she didn't know she had. It was at 16 in high school when she met a guy. This guy was like her biological father. He didn't know of limits. He constantly came to pursue her and Birdie was frustrated. At one point, she accidentally used her charm-speak to tell him to go and die. This wouldn't have worked if he wasn't in love with her but he was. The next day, he was found dead in his bedroom and holding a gun. That was when Aphrodite came into her life.
Aphrodite knew that she needed help. She told her that she was to go to Olympus Academy but Birdie refused, saying that she wanted nothing to do with her. However, after Aphrodite had explained, she then decided that she had to listen. She needed to figure out how to use these powers. So far, she has had a pretty good school life.

Godly Information
Godly Parent: Aphrodite
Relationship With Godly Parent: Birdie and Aphrodite don't have the best mother-daughter relationship. With Birdie thinking of Aphrodite as a bitchy slut and Aphrodite adoring her daughter for her beauty but not enough. Aphrodite still feels as though she is the child of a failure and those genes may be inside of her. It doesn't really matter to Birdie though. She just wants to not become a whore like her mother and to instead learn to just control her powers.

Personal Information
Name: Brianna Halford Caverly
Nickname Hal Bri Bri-Bri (as a child)
Birth Date October 19th
Age: Twenty Years Old
Gender Female
Sexuality Heterosexual, but she's always up for experimenting.
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Brianna stands at a proud 5’10, with long and slender limbs. She is well toned throughout, and though she doesn't have bulging mountains for biceps, they are worthy of being shown off. Her legs are powerful, strong enough to carry her through the track but graceful enough to keep her on top of things in flight. Her skin is on the border of tan and pale, more of a sheer sun kissed look than anything.
Though her prime athletic body is surely taken from her father, her striking face is inherited from her mother. She has light brown tresses, falling in waves just past her shoulders. Her face is round, not to the point of being pudgy, but more to keep features delicate and girly. She has sapphire eyes, with flecks of grey in them, and eyebrows with a curved arch. She can't wear makeup on her eyes or face -because she does a lot of activities that could cause running- but she does put on a coat of red lipstick that accents her pouty lips.
Her skin isn't flawless by any means, She has many scars from falling or injuring herself in some way. The way she carries those scars is what makes her seem flawless, with a grace and respect for every mar. She doesn't cover them up, or drench them in products to make the scars fade. Some boys say this gives her an extra level of attractiveness, others say it throws off her face. She couldn't care less.
Clothing Style Brianna hates unnecessary clothes, she wouldn't be caught dead in sweatshirts or baggy pants that hang loose from her skin. This is why she's usually in skirts or crop-tops. Her tops don't have plunging necklines that reveal her cleavage, and her skirts usually fall just above her knees. They fit her form, just enough to show that she has curves. Underneath her clothes she wears spandex and a sports bra, making her able to strip her outer layer and go for a run with anyone interested.
Her hair is almost always tied up, a few strands hanging loose to frame her face. She's always wearing Fterá Angélou, and has a set of golden wrist cuffs carved with the symbols of her father to match. She has never bothered getting her ears pierced, knowing they could be ripped out if caught on something in flight, and other than her cuffs she wears no jewelry. Her style fits her, always ready to be active or on the run.
Delving Deeper
Quirks/Oddities/Habits At least five
Pruning the feathers of Fterá Angélou, to calm herself.
Chatting with herself in different languages, as though she was in a group.
Chewing on her fingernails, once a biter always a biter.
When she's bored, she entertains herself by cleaning.
She has an old soul, enjoying classics much more than modern things.
Brianna is a bit of a kleptomaniac, taking things that belong to other people. Most times she doesn't even notice what she does, until she's digging through her pockets and finds things that don't belong.

Personality:
♦ Prideful ♦ Mischievous ♦ Curious ♦ Active
Brianna is a tomboy, always up for action and hanging out with the guys. She doesn't spend much time worrying about her looks, just enough to stay presentable. She acts a bit more casual around boys, always fearing she has something to prove with other women. Some girls have called her a few names in the past, since she has more male friends than female. She ignores them though, names don't mean a thing if there isn't any truth behind them.
She has a lot of energy, but to cool down she reads books and poems. This gives her some versatility, so she isn't easily labeled as a fitness buff or nerd. She's a good friend to those that don't pick on her, and she can be a bit flirty if you catch her at the right time. When it comes to romance, she doesn't mind making the first move. She does require a lot of trust in people though, someone that can deal with her thefts and the fact that she doesn't have a family outside of her Mom and Dad.
Background: When Brianna was born, the world didn't stop spinning, there was no choir announcing that a demigod had been born healthy and kicking. Instead, she was handed off to a nurse whilst her mother slept off the painful two hours of pushing. Brianna was fatherless, and her mother's family disapproved so much no one came to hold her hand or comfort her. A wedlocked baby was all they had wanted, and Brianna didn't quite fit.
Life from there was honest and full of tests for Brianna's mother. She was only nineteen, taking care of a baby and withdrawing herself from college. Her family didn't support her, and Brianna's father was nowhere to be seen. She didn't have much, but she nurtured Brianna well, raising her on poems from Edgar Allen Poe and songs by Billy Joel. Looking back now, Brianna figures her mother's love of literature is what hooked her father.
Things started to get complicated when Brianna turned nine. She was sent home from school often, because when the teachers came around to inspect desks, they would see hers full of pencils and hairpieces that didn't belong. Brianna insisted she didn't know why they were there, but no one believed her. It was straight to the office, then straight home. Brianna's mother was concerned, of course, but she didn't see any problems with it. The thefts were just a phase Brianna was going through, she told herself, never punishing her little bundle of joy too severely.
Brianna knew she was different when she was in middle school, her first year of official sports. It wasn't her amazing skills on the court that pointed out her oddities, but that she managed to stay on the team. The coach had been a bit iffy about her, knowing her track record from elementary school. When Brianna started stealing electric tape or cheer ribbons, the coach decided it was time to kick her, star player or no.
Brianna was pulled into the coach’s office, staring up at a lady with crows feet and crooked teeth. The coach told her she was off the team, and that she had to turn in her uniform by Monday morning. It was the week before their first out of town game, and Brianna practically fell on her knees, pleading with the coach to stay in. There was nothing she wanted more than that game, but the coach wasn't having it...until Brianna suggested compromise. Brianna felt the power flowing through her voice, she saw the brief look of confusion on her coach’s face before the lady agreed to let Brianna stay.
Brianna didn't question it, but she was retracted within herself the rest of the day, thinking about what had happened. It was like a switch had been flipped for her powers, because from that day onwards, she used them constantly. When she was in trouble with an adult, it would come out before she could even consider a different way of handling things. If Brianna was to be honest with herself, she would say things got a bit out of hand.
She would use it on the other members of her team, too. Some middle schoolers thought it was unfair, she was a starter on the A-Team in sixth grade. They began to take out agressions on her, and as a means of defense, Brianna would suggest they ‘pick on someone their own size’. Before she knew it, a full on fight had started in the locker room between the older girls. They forgot their team ethics, the coach said, and most of them were kicked off.
It continued outside of school too, she would steal something without noticing, shoving it into her purse while reaching for a chapstick. Then, when she went to leave the alarms would go off. Security would come and check her, looking through her purse and finding the objects. She would tell them she didn't know what they were talking about, and she was free to go.
Once, she was exiting a store and was intercepted by a man. He was tall and full of youth, with wavy hair the same shade as Brianna's. He looked athletic in his Nike shorts and tank-top, and had the strangest pair of shoes, synthetic wings flapping lazily, Brianna figured they were powered by wires in the golden straps. He gave her an apprehensive smile, before handing her a letter.
Dear Brianna,
Please accept this note as a sincere apology. I was not here for you, during your first steps or your first words, but I am here now. To have a child as a God is not easy. I've been watching you grow from the clouds, and I have been sending you and your mother good luck, as a token of my affection for the two of you. It isn't enough to make up for my absence, but I plan on doing that now. I am a part of your life, I always have been and I will continue to be.
With eternal love, Hermes.
Brianna was tempted to tear up the letter, and get away from the creeper before she was abducted, but something held her there. Was the man really her father? Was he really Hermes, the Greek God they skimmed over in school? Slowly, he got on his knee and opened his arms, like a military father would to greet his child after a tour in some foreign country.
Brianna clenched her fists, almost sure he was her dad. His letter had been an apology, but she was still upset with him. Her mother had waited, all those years, for him to come back and visit their child. Now here he was, and she was already ten. He had missed ten whole years, but treated them like nothing. Tears fell from her cheeks, onto the pavement, and she caved. Running to her father, and wrapping her arms around him.
He told her that he was going to help her control her powers, until he could enroll her in the Olympus Academy. Brianna didn't know what that meant, but she agreed quickly. That same day, Hermes reconnected with his past lover. Brianna's Mom said she understood, and that Hermes could have her during the summer, but would stay out of her life during the school year. They spent that night murmuring on the couch in the living room, and Hermes was gone the next day.
Hermes kept his promise, taking her everywhere during the summer. Teaching her how to layer her Suggestions, and keep from using them. He showed her how to put up a barrier, they were weak though, and she would have to work on them in the Academy. She toured the underworld with him, guiding souls and delivering mail to Hades. Then, when the summer months were over, she was returned home. This carried on for three years, until she was taken out of public school entirely and placed in the Olympus Academy.
Now, she's in her fifth year. She still has great connections with her father, and mother. Her letter is framed and hanging in her room, for her to see every day as she puts on her winged sandals.
Extra Isis, Egyptian Goddess of magic and plenty of other things. If we're talking Greeks though, I have to go with Hephaestus.
Godly Information
Godly Parent Hermes. God of travelers, thieves, merchants, boundaries, messages, luck, and eloquence. To name a few. Brianna really likes to correct people when they say he's just the God of thieves.
Relationship With Godly Parent Unlike the majority of other kids, Brianna has a good relationship with her father, who has taught her much about her godly abilities. When they are together, they are usually traveling around the world of humans or the realm of the gods. He spoils her, but cares enough to discipline her and keep her in check. He usually lets loose around her, indulging in his trickster side once all work is done. Her father has brought a lot of light to her life, and she's glad she has connected with him in such a way.
Godly Abilities
The Power of Suggestion- Brianna is naturally eloquent, her words carry proudly enough to make any first year Aphrodite child a bit jealous (after that they greatly surpass her.). She can also put a power behind her suggestions, making them nearly irresistible to mortals and weak minded Demigods. Athena and Aphrodite children have a knack for deflecting this ability, and even her most potent suggestions only sound a wee bit sweeter in their ears.
Some Hecate children can sense her charmspeak, but their deflection abilities vary. As mentioned, Brianna can play around with intensity of her Suggestion, where as a child it just came out in waves that were uncontrollable. When she suggests something dangerous, say “Trip and fall on that rock,” it doesn't matter who she's working with, their chance of deflection doubles. This is one of her favorite abilities, and she works on it most.
Fterá Angélou- Brianna has her own special pair of winged shoes, given to her by her father. They have golden straps and feathers that flap even when she isn't flying. The soles are thin plates of flexible something or other (if you want the specifics, ask a Hephaestus kid.) that make it feel like her feet are bare but protected against rocks and other substances that could damage her feet. Very comfortable, they have an amazing ability to never feel worn. Of course, they also allow her to fly. In the eyes of mortals, they look like this
Multilingualism- Have an old papyrus scroll in Ancient Egyptian? Maybe you bought some Japanese snacks and can’t figure out how to microwave it. Well, if Brianna is around, she's your girl. The daughter of the messenger is a hell of a translator, picking up on foreign languages with ease. She knows everything from Afrikaans to Ancient Greek. There aren't many limits to this power, but since she doesn't have anyone to talk to in these languages, it's mostly useless.
Personal Space- Brianna can set a border around herself, by will. It's a circle around her, about two feet away in any direction. Once someone is let in, they are let in permanently. It's a good protection against melee attacks, but anything thrown or shot can pass through. Spears can pass through as well, up to the point it is held. The same goes for gases, and explosive devices. A demigod with a strong will may be able to press against the barrier, but if they don't make it all the way through, they will be knocked back a fair distance.
If you're one of the lucky few Brianna has let in, you connect to a sort of mental link with her. It's a strange sensation, her voice in your mind and vice versa. If you're totally against it, you can put up a defensive wall.
Peak Physical Condition- Brianna is very physically fit, with muscle definition coming all the way from her years as a preteen. She has always excelled in sports, track and field being her favorites. She dominates the field, taking charge with powerful swings or dribbles. She also has the perk of a fast metabolism, being able to eat almost anything, though she sticks to a healthy diet. Some may say she's a health nut, but it's in her genes.

There isn’t anything really impressive about Honey. He is of average height, an unimpressive five feet and ten inches, and his body is rather lean with a bit of muscle, but nothing of note. Honey’s skin is surprisingly pale considering the fact that he is a Southern boy, born and raised in the Sunshine state. Despite being twenty years old, Honey still has a very youthful appearance that makes him appear more of a teenager than anything else, and his face still has a bit of baby fat. The most impressive part of his face is his blue crystalline eyes that shine even when he isn’t crying – depending on the lighting, his eyes can go from a dark grey to a light shining blue. Honey has slightly thick dark brown hair that is usually neatly combed. He goes back and forth between growing it out slightly long enough to cover his forehead and keeping it cropped short – right now he favors it being cropped short because it makes him look older. Honey has a scar on his knee from an accident with an arrow where he had fumbled and accidentally cut his knee, leading to having to get seven stitches. About midway of his back, to the right, Honey has a fist sized purple birthmark in an amorphous blob shape. Once upon a time, Honey had a pierced ear but it has since closed up (he found the earrings irritating because they caught on everything). Honey smells like the woods and something unnamed but citrusy.
It has been remarked that Honey has the hair and eyes of his father but the slight build and personality of his mother - something which Honey likes to pointedly ignore.
C L O T H I N G S T Y L E:
Honey has two default styles: casual and ivy league sophistication.
Honey prefers to wear casual clothing when he needs to get dressed quickly, he has no one to impress, or he is particularly feeling lazy. It’s the traditional blue jeans, a t-shirt that’s not too tight and not too loose, and a thin hoodie that is kept unzipped. When he’s wearing such clothes, he likes to slip into his cat-decorated vans or his beat-up converse.
Honey’s sophistication clothing is usually used for special occasions (but casual clothing) and when he wants to make a good impression but not look too dressed-up. It’s just an assortment of nice knockoff cashmere sweaters (who willingly pays for a five-hundred-dollar sweater? Not Honey), nicely kempt and form fitting jeans and casual slacks, hair gel, and dark colored coats. When he wears them, he tends to vibe that sophisticated smart guy from an ivy league school who probably enjoys photography and reading the constitution.
However, whenever he’s hunting, Honey wears camouflage and thick layers if it’s in the morning paired with expensive hunting boots.
Q U I R K S & H A B I T S:
🌑 Cannot wear green clothes - it makes him feel inexplicably itchy. 🌑 Counts ceiling tiles when bored. 🌑 Keeps up with the weather obsessively. 🌑 Cannot drink anything with ice in it. 🌑 Strongly susceptible to brain freezes. 🌑 Blinks repeatedly when uncomfortable. 🌑 Fidgets a lot when talking to people he is uncomfortable with (ie strangers). 🌑 Sleeps less than 3 hrs a day. 🌑 Has a potty mouth.

🌕 Needles. 🌕 Being considered inferior. 🌕 Social interaction / making himself look like a fool. 🌕 Going blind.
Honey doesn’t like people. It’s not because he has a personal vendetta against them or anything – he just feels uncomfortable around other people. He’s socially inept when dealing with others and has a hard time communicating what he thinks on a subject or how he would react in a situation. Because of this, he tends to be quiet and reclusive when in conversations, preferring to nod his head and keep his mouth stuffed so no one can ask him a question. Because of his awkwardness, Honey is rather shy and will never initiate a conversation with someone else. Instead, he prefers to watch from the sidelines rather than participate – therefore, speaking in front of people, talking to other people, and being dragged into crowds are the bane of his existence. His social ineptitude doesn’t stop at friendly conversation, either. Honey has no idea how to approach someone he is likes. When it comes to flirting, Honey would rather set himself on fire because he simply does not know how. Furthermore, Honey cannot recognize when someone is flirting with him, either, and is rather oblivious to other people. He struggles with reading other people’s emotions, especially when it comes to romantic interest in him.
Honey is unsure of what came first – his social awkwardness or is preference for solitude. Did he become solitary because he was socially awkward or did he become socially awkward because he was solitary? It’s the chicken and the egg all over again. Either way, it remains that Honey is a lone wolf. He likes to spend his days alone, either reading in his room or in the woods walking and hunting. Honey goes at lengths to avoid people – this isn’t to say that he doesn’t have friends, he has plenty of friends…internet friends. Internet friends give him the social interaction he needs and the time to himself that he needs. Plus, if he does something embarrassing, all he has to do is change his username and dump them unceremoniously: problem solved. Maybe it’s because of his nonattachment to others that he isn’t the most loyal. Not that Honey goes out of his way to gossip and betray friends, but he dumps his friends too suddenly and is easily coerced into gabbing (though he doesn’t mean to and doesn’t think that what he is doing at the moment is wrong, but it has its backlashes).
Many would suspect, considering his shy and conservative nature, that Honey follows the rules. Well, he actually has a rebellious streak, believe it or not. Honey enjoys living spontaneously and sometimes gets the urge at night to sneak out and drink, or break into school at night out of curiosity, or spray paint a building for the sheer fun of it. In this way, he’s much of a thrill-seeker and likes to live on the edge. But Honey is not a rebel without a cause. Much of his more daunting law-breaking is mostly linked to his activist personality. Perhaps he had gotten it from his mother, but Honey is a very concerned citizen about the environment and political issues. He even likes to spend his time at rallies and can spend hours signing petitions. Honey is always advocating against deforestation, littering, pollution, animal cruelty, and even supports some social-political issues like gun laws, marriage for all, and black lives matter.
Despite all of these things, Honey has a cruel image. Because of his inherited bad temper and innate bloodlust from his mother, Honey snaps easily and is prone to fights. He has a hard time reigning it in and controlling himself and has sent people to hospitals before with broken noses and has gone to the hospital as well for broken knuckles. When he is angry, Honey is unreasonable and just wants to hurt someone for whatever reason, thinking it will make him feel better (though it rarely does). It’s due to this side of him that people often don’t see his incredibly kind nature. Honey is selfless in that he rescues kittens from trees and kids from getting run over by cars; he has no problem giving his only dollar to a homeless man or walking a woman to her car when she feels unsafe.
Above all of his attributes, there is one thing that remains incredibly important to Honey (even more important than the ecosystem) and that is independence. Honey values his freedom above everything else and would rather die than have that taken away from him. Perhaps that’s why he avoids people, because he doesn’t like to be bound by societal standards (though he still is) or maybe because he doesn’t want to have to be polite when he doesn’t want to be. Honey is very independent and likes to live his life how he chooses – whether that be drugs and alcohol or straight-A’s and college scholarships. It’s because of this independency that Honey struggles to ask for help and would much rather fix the problem on his own, as to avoid having to settle it in a way that he does not want to.
Of note, he’s also a sarcastic little shit.
B A C K G R O U N D:
There’s not much to say about Hunter’s parent’s epic romance except that it wasn’t that epic at all. Hunter’s father, Johnny (known very commonly as Worm by relatives), had just finished up his fourth year of college – matter of fact, it was the night of his graduation where he had met Artemis. Hunter’s dad had gotten properly shitfaced, as per tradition of celebration, and he and his buddies thought it’d be fun to go play with a bow in the woods in the middle of the night. There he had almost shot a beautiful maiden with his arrow, but luckily she had been quick enough to dodge it – even luckier, she ended up in his bed that night. Bada bing bada boom, a baby was conceived via Johnny’s poor life decisions.
Of course, Johnny didn’t know about Artemis’s pregnancy until she had delivered the day old baby to his doorstep in hopes he would care for it. Johnny was by far not ready to take care of a kid, especially on his own, but knew that he had to take responsibility for his actions lest the child ended up in the system. So, Johnny moved from his nice apartment in Michigan back into his hometown in Florida, with his grandparents. His grandparents, born and raised Southerners with a penchant for chewing tobacco and NASCAR, were disappointed in their son but agreed to help him raise Honey.
Growing up wasn’t that difficult for Honey. He had the love of his dad and his grandparents who fostered his activist nature and nurtured all his dreams and hopes. Though he’d be lying if he said he didn’t care about his mother – Honey cared a lot about the subject of his mother. He wondered why his mother didn’t want to keep him? Why did she abandon him without even a phone number to keep in touch with? When he asked his dad about, his dad said he didn’t know – but he wasted no time telling Honey that his mother was missing out and made a sore mistake. After a while, the questions stopped keeping him up at night, but instead fueled him with anger if it was ever brought up and a niggling irritation in the back of his mind.
The first time Honey had met his mother was when he was nine. Weird things have started to develop with him and she stopped by to check on him and explain things. The whole encounter had seemed deeply impersonal and it struck a chord with Honey – because, at that moment she revealed herself to be the Goddess of Childbirth, yet the woman who birthed him had no familial attachment to him at all? Honey decided then and there to hell with Artemis (after that, he went to church daily and constantly talked about how cool Norse mythology was to spite her). The second time Honey got a visit was when he was twelve, after his grandpa died. She stopped by to pay her condolences and her presence angered Honey even more (because how dare this woman show up to a family funeral like she could even be considered anything close to that?). He ended up destroying a couple of plates that night, in a blind rage, and got into a scuffle with his fifteen-year-old neighbor. Honey never really heard much about Artemis’s other family, the happy family, the better family, but he knew that it must exist considering she had a ring on her finger and a girl’s picture in her wallet.
There was a third time Honey came in contact with his mother – but it wasn’t face to face and could hardly be counted. He was seventeen at the time and had been getting into fights recently (a friend of his had just come out of the closet and they did live in the middle of nowhere Florida); at that time, he had been kicked out of his school and his father was struggling to find a new school that would make commute easy while still being able to take of Hunter’s grandmother (who hadn’t been well since the death of her husband). The contact came through a letter sent by Artemis, detailing Olympus Academy and how they would be willing to take him – something about giving him an opportunity to hone his skills and find kids that he could fit in well with? While his father thought it was a good idea to go there, Honey was more preoccupied with how creepy it was that Artemis was keeping tabs on him.
Honey honestly didn’t want to go to the academy, just because he meant he’d have more ties to his mother than he wanted. Nevertheless, he went, if only to give his father and grandmother peace of mind. He’s been there for four years now.

Their relationship is rather distant and cold. Honey likes to pretend that Artemis exists and Artemis just sends the occasional helping here and there. However, the two times that they met, the conversation and air between them felt very impersonal. Honey doesn't know much about Artemis at all, but has inferred two things from her interactions with him: 1) she's keeping track of his going ons (which creeps him out) and 2) she has another family.
G O D L Y A B I L I T I E S:
Hunting & Tracking
Being related to the Goddess of the Hunt, Hunter displays an innate ability to understand the movements of wild animals. He is incredibly deft in tracking animals, trapping animals, and hunting animals. His knowhow allows him familiarity with how to approach an animal on the hunt – where to hide, how to move, how to conceal his presence. It should be noted that this hunting abilities do not completely transfer over to the tracking and hunting of a human, as humans are more unpredictable and intelligent than an animal – while it is possible, it is harder and requires more attention than the simple relaxed and easy movements of hunting an animal.
Archery
Artemis’s repertoire of skills relies heavily on her ability to shoot a bow. She is known for having perfect aim and can never miss a target. Hunter has inherited such a gift from his mother, and finds the bow fitting easily and comfortably into his grip. However, he does not have the perfect aim his mother does, though he will hit his target eight times out of ten. Unfortunately, because he finds the bow settling so easily into his arms and because his body is innately trained to hold a bow and not much else, Hunter is nearly useless with a gun. If he were to hold a gun, he would probably end up shooting his toe.
Night Vision
Artemis is the Goddess of the Hunt, but it is most notably stated that she hunts at night. As such, Hunter has inherited the ability to see better and more clearly at night than the typical mortal. His eyes adjust quicker to darkness than others do and he can see more shapes – however he does not see as clearly as he would if it was day time, he simply sees better than most, enough to get by. Unfortunately, his eyes are a lot more sensitive to light and it makes him very grumpy if someone were to turn on the light while he is sleeping.
Shapeshifting
Artemis possessed the ability to shapeshift into any animal she wanted as well as shapeshift other people into animals. Hunter only possesses the slightest ability of shapeshifting and can only shapeshift into Artemis’ sacred animals: the deer, the bear, and the buzzard-hawk. Hunter can only remain in such a form for three hours before he loses energy and it can be extremely painful to shift.
Enhanced Reflexes
Being of godly blood, Hunter’s reflexes are a tad bit faster than a normal mortal’s. He reacts faster to situations such as something being thrown at him or falling, but it is honestly not that impressive.
