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.

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.

♦ 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...

The Arrogant PrickZeus. c: Suuuuunnshiiiiiinnnneeee Apollo
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.
"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."
It’s hard to exactly pinpoint how a guy like Dante, who is beyond whatis socially acceptable of being antisocial, could look actually not half bad as he does. With an appearance that most would call something along the lines of “broody” and “alluring”, it gives others’ head-scratching responses when they try to put it together(the it of how he acts versus how he looks). They don’t understand how someone who has such a tall form with a respectable, equal weight ratio could be so asocial. He’s an enigma for sure, especially with given the fact that he has quite beautiful green eyes, and that light brown hair that could only be described as a bed of hazelnut fluff that everyone just wants to take a nap in.
Something that should be noted about the total makeup of Dante’s physical build is that he is somewhere in sweet spot between lean and muscular. It’s evident that his center/abdomens have an obvious lean, yet toned, His legs and arms aren’t nearly as built as his entire torso/back areas. While the arms and legs are most certainly not without their own fair share of muscle mass, they simply don’t have as much as his back/torso; like with his height at just barely one inch before six feet and height at one-seventy-five pounds, how else would you expect his body to look like?
A T T I R E
In all honesty, it’s not that hard to describe Dante’s fashion sense. It’s mainly consisting of clothes that are dark in color, usually those dark greys and blacks. He wears a lot of loose, and baggy clothing that cover his body most of the time. This is including but not limited to — long-sleave shirts, jeans, jackets, regular t-shirts, various nerdom memorabilia. The type of shoes he’s seen wearing are usually the same color as his shirts and jeans, which are dark in color. Some often call him a vampire due to all of teh dark clothing he likes to wear. He simply shrugs at it and tries not to let it bother him.

Dante is a man that is a man that represents the theory of someone being considered both alive and dead. He is alive in the walking, mortal life, but in his own mind, in the nine depths that make up this man, he is dead. For all intents and purposes, Dante Belmont views as himself being dead. So many tragic things happened in his short life span - the death of his mother, of his friends, of any who cross paths with him - and it took its toll on this man. Each and every scar that came from his life experiences toppled on top of each other until the point where he couldn’t take it anymore. Zombified in the metaphorical sense, Dante Belmont merely walks to keep those around him from suspecting anything else being at play.
While the truths of his life is mainly kept a secret, that does not mean that Dante isn’t able to interact with the other members of his species. To avoid any unwanted conversation, Dante feigns a humbleness that is welcoming. Fake smiles, fake positivity - fake everything; and he’s pretty skilled at it too. Being able to make those that he interacts with not suspect his inner-turmoils truly takes some kind of manipulative talent. Of course, he’s not the kind of manipulative person that those of the Aphrodite linage are, but he is able to work people quite well in the way that they don’t ever suspect what the truth under those fake smiles, those greetings of an inviting - though not too inviting - nature that show he is able to say hello without seeming too out of place.
Like a wallflower he is, you hardly notice Dante. Yes, despite his obviously noticeable figure and appearance, Dante goes unnoticed, which makes it perfect for him to observe his surroundings. More importantly, he is well aware of what goes around him. This is what becomes of someone that normally doesn’t partake in those regular social conventions that the masses do. He avoids social interaction if it can be helped, which usually after the first or two exchanges of introductory greetings, he slips away like the antisocial snake that he is. After that, he simply observes. Dante takes in those interactions by his peers. He takes in the faces, the names, the way each are with their friends, their families, and the staff.

Monsters come in all shape and sizes. Some say they come from the ground beneath us. Some would argue that they are those we keep in close proximity. Some even say that the true monsters is the darkness that everyone had within themselves. Whichever side you are on, it can’t be denied that these monsters are real. They are not only real, but they are terrifying, striking the fear of the Gods into even the strongest of men and woman. These monsters of legend - the ones that take all of the life out someone to only do away with them when they’re done with them - are the worst. They are the ones you know about, but still don’t see coming.
And the worst of them was his mother’s family.
Truth be told, if you were to ask if he knew what his mother’s family was like, he wouldn’t be able to tell you because he didn’t know any of them. He wasn’t born in the town they lived in, Hell’s Paradise, Texas. His mother was, his maternal grandfather, and everyone else from her side of the family, but not him. Dante was born in - well, we’ll get to that. First the reasons why he was born where he was must be explained, and who his mother was.
Dante’s mother has often been described as an unplain beauty by his father - and everyone else in the Underworld. Gifted with skin as white as pearl, hair as scarlett as ruby, and eyes as green as emerald, it always made no sense to anyone how one of the most beautiful women to ever exist came from such a backwater town, such a horrible environment that was Hell’s Paradise, and how she almost died if not for the intervention of Hades. How could someone as captivating as her be the daughter of the head of a False Hades Cult? It made no sense. Anyone would agree that, when Hades not only caught wind of this cult and what they were doing in his name, he took it upon himself to visit the surface world, and go to this place. What he went there originally for and what eventually made him stay for was not the same thing.
Hades went there to put an end to this cult, but was captivated by this woman. Her eyes sparkled in the rays of the Texas sunshine, and her hair was enhanced by it too. The name her father gave her was a shocker considering how depraved the entire town she was in was. Lenore Isabelle Belmont. An angelic name for an angelic beauty. Hades found himself captivated by her. The Greek God of the Underworld, the Greek God of Riches, Sure, at first, her beauty caught his attention, but it was her surprising fiery spirit that hooked him in. He forgot about the cult for a few weeks. He spent them with her, worming his into her own affection like she did to his.
Hades often told Dante about how he met his mother, and there was one time when his Grandfather, Lenore’s father, nearly killed her when she found out about Hades - well, his name at the time was Pater Obscurus - living with her. According to Hades, the reason was because he wasn’t “one of them”. He was an outsider, and in that kind of cult, outsiders weren’t welcome. Dante never really got the reasons behind what happened next, but something inside Hades wasn’t exactly thrilled with the tone that Thorald, Lenore’s father, was taking with him. Lenore swears what happened next didn’t happened, but based on where she ended up(The Underworld), it was very possible.
Hades stood up from where he was sitting(Thorald confronted them at the kitchen table in her house), and showed her father his true form - well, one of them. It was described as a nine-foot demonic beast with hammerhead-like horns. His eyes bled fiery red, and a shadow of pitch black surrounded him. Hades never spoke anything after that. All that was hinted at was that Hades struck the fear of the God into Thorald, and he never bothered them again; however, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Hades was needed back into the Underworld, but he wouldn’t leave without at least giving Lenore a choice: she could stay in her hometown with her family or come with him, and be by his side. Though he had Persephone, asylum waited for her in the Underworld - in his kingdom. She would be safe. There was no hesitation. She accepted with glee.
And so that was that. Hades took a human down with him to the Underworld, taking her as his second wife. Persephone wasn’t happy about this, but this wouldn’t be the first time that Hades took on a charity case - and she made it her mission to remind Lenore of that any chance she got. Still, that didn’t mean she hated the woman. It turned out, after Dante was conceived, and they started to talk, they had a lot of things in common. Both were unmistakingly beautiful, both were essentially kidnapped from their home, though Hades never gave Persephone a choice, and both have a rather assertive personality. And both somehow had Hades’ equal affection. That rarely happened, so it kind of made Lenore a big deal. She was also protected - and loved- by most due to her fiery personality.
When she birthed Dante, it was a big moment because it was the first time that it had ever happened. A Demigod born of a Human female was done so in the Underworld. No record of that ever happening, so it even solidified that the son of Lemore Isabelle Belmont would be a big deal. When he was birthed, Hades was to name him.
“Let it be known far and wide that my shall be named Dante, after the great Dante Alighieri. His second given name shall be Aides. His Surname will be taken from his mother, Belmont.”
And so it was, so it shall be. Hades’ some would come to be known as Dante Aides Belmont, and for the next seven years of his life, he would spend it in the Underworld until the time came for his mother to leave. Unlike Persephone, she was free to leave. And of course, Hades would make sure she was taken care of. As the god of the Earth’s Precious minerals, he gave her incredible wealth to which she would use to settle in San Francisco, California where she would raise her son, Dante.
As the years went by, Lenore often looked back on her time with Hades. He occasionally visited her over the years, and Dante loved seeing his dad each time, but it wasn’t ever like those first seven years that she had with him. Even with Persephone there, she never once thought of him cheating on her. Maybe Lenore herself was a bit messed up in that way, but she still didn’t care. She loved the man. She loved him so much that she didn’t realize what was happening to her son. Her beloved Dante was, in the mental sense, declining rapidly.
It had been widely known in the Underworld that Dante Aides Belmont suffered from terrors that only the worst of demons were known to induce, but as he aged to teenhood, it became painfully obvious to Lenore that something was terribly wrong, so she did all that she could. Dante’s depression and fear of his surroundings would get worse. It wasn’t until a week later that Hades came to her, and deduced that his time in the Underworld caused this. The demons themselves were flooding his souls. That much death around him was most certainly a big influence on that. It’s was like Dante’s psyche was making it even more evident that he was the Son of Hades. He hated that his son was going through this strife because of a decision that Hades himself made.
And when Hades told Lenore, she didn’t have much to say. She still didn’t regret those seven years, but she hated herself for not noticing that her ignorance to what was happening to her son. She hated it so much that she wanted to do anything to take the pain away from him, or the pain she felt inside herself. But someone would beat her to it.
It happened on Dante’s thirteenth birthday. In what could only be described as the worst of accidents, Dante’s mind blacked out. The horrors he had been suffering through all these years, even after the five stints in mental hospitals after trying to kill himself, his mind had gone to that breaking point that everyone has. Not as bad as one might think, but in Dante’s case, it was the worst of all. He didn’t know what had happened until he came out of it. He last remembered eating his cake, and the next thing he saw...blood. Lots of blood, and it was all over him. He looked around, and all of the kids(eight of them), and an adult all laid on the floor. Scattered. Their heads were slashed brutally. Their eyes hanging from the sockets, parts of their flesh ripped off by force showing the fractured skulls, and blood continuing to flow out. It had just happened. On Dante’s hands was wet blood. He had done it. He killed all of them.
As tragic as that was, it took a few moments for Dante to realize the adult that laid face-first on the carpet. Hair as scarlett as ruby, soaking in crimson ink, there she was. He flipped her face over, and there, with her face half-ripped off, Lenore Belmont laid dead, a sight of fear in eyes that it broke all barriers in Dante’s psyche, and a loud shriek from the teenaged Dante escaped his mouth in absolute fright. Seeing his mother’s face broke every foundation his mind had built towards the bridge of sanity. Dante Belmont was broken.
And so he fled.
blood -stained hands and clothes still on, he left, ran as far as he could until cops saw him. Thought they didn’t know who he was, they eventually put it together. Not every day that eight thirteen-year-old kids and a woman are murdered from the same large house that a kid was seen running from. It was unexplainable, and surely no one could understand how such a crime was committed by a kid as little as Dante at the time, let alone stand trial for it. He couldn’t even get through a single question without screaming and trying to tear his hair out. It wouldn’t be long after that when a psychiatrist was brought in to evaluate him. She didn’t need long to determine that he was suffering from extreme post-traumatic stress, and recommend he be admitted to a facility as soon as humanly possible. The boy needed it.
So, he was. For the next three years, Dante went under extreme treatment. There were times when no one thought he would get better, but by some miracle, on his sixteenth birthday, he was released. He was no longer a victim of his own mind or what crimes he committed. It wasn’t long after that did he get approached by someone speaking for Hades. He gave Dante a letter, which read:
Dante, I regret I could not tell you this in person. I also apologize for not giving you this in the past three years. There have been so many thing that going on in The Underworld right now that needed my attention, so this is why you are receiving this letter.
Please do not think I blame you for what happened to your mother. It was my own fault for keeping you in the Underworld for so long. That extended exposure to all of the demons and death took a toll on you that I was not aware of until it was too late. For that, I cannot apologize enough.
Dante, you are my son, so it is only right that you should hear this: there is an academy for males and females like you. It is a special academy that caters to the Sons and Daughter of the Gods and Goddesses. It is called Olympus Academy. The details about it are also included in this letter on a second page.
Again, I regret not being there personally.
Love, Dad
When he read that letter, Dante couldn’t help but feel some bitter emotions, but his father was right. He needed to get a handle on these abilities, and make sure nothing like what happened to his mother ever happened again. So, as he made that decision, he ventured off to Utah, and would enroll himself in Olympus Academy where he would have been going for four years, with the current year being his fourth.

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:
Dante doesn’t hate Hades. He does have some feelings of love for his father. He was raised halfway by him and his almost-second mother Persephone. So, he can’t really hate the guy. After he left, he felt a longing to go back to the Underworld, but never could due to the rules. After what happened to his mother, Dante’s attatchment to Hades dwindled greatly. Longing turned into fear, so maybe somewhere deep down, there’s this perturbation that he has towards his father. But hate him? No, Dante doesn’t hate Hades..at least not yet..

Dante’s Nine Fears It’s strange for one’s fears to actually manifest into abilities.Usually such a thing doesn’t happen, but not everyone is the Son of Hades who was exposed to horrors no man or woman should be exposed to. Because of this, each fear got tied to his Demigod Abilities. Each of his nine fears, either individually or paired with something, represent a different aspect of his worst side. As such, each fear will have different abilities tied to his core godly parentage.
Fear One: Loneliness - Power: Precognition and Clairvoyance Death is all around us. With death, there comes a possibility of loneliness - something that Dante fears. Not being able to predict when it comes multiplies the intensity of that fear tenfold. As a result, it manifested into something that will allow him to see when death comes, see how it happens, to whom it happens to, and give him a chance to perhaps stop it. This fear of loneliness, ironic to its origin, gave Dante the chance to prevent death. Only if it would solve the other fears that he has..
Fear Two: Without Love - Power: Judgement Manipulation(minimal; limited to people he can see) Here, just one fear worse than loneliness, is that of being without love. If one is without that thing that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, you become a cold, empty shell. Always watching, always judging. Because of this, because of the emptiness and coldness one would feel without love, the fear of not being love manifests itself in such a way that allows Dante to judge those around him. In his eyes, he sees names, he sees a floating ball of light that is a certain color. Each color he sees is that of sins that they may have committed either willingly or by chance.
Fear Three: From Under the Earth - Powers: Demonic Earth No one likes to be buried alive, especially Dante. If he could help it, he’d stay above from underneath the Earth’s surface if at all possible, which kind of makes this an odd representation of his power. Maybe his time in the Underworld influenced him but Dante gained the ability to manipulate the earth from the deepest pits of the underworld. Everything he is able to do is on a minimal use, but all that which is included is what someone with normal earth manipulation is capable of, but only with the added flare of it being entirely dark and totally hellish. Though powerful in its own right, this is an ability that is rarely used for the simple fact that any extended use past a minute takes severe tolls on his soul, corrupting it after each time. Think of it as a slowly-approaching cobra that, you never know when, but surely will bite you, and kill instantaneously.
Dante has been able to tap into some depths of it, namely raising the dead. Since this a form of Earth manipulation from the underworld, unconventional means are available, such as mild necromancy, usages of Demonic Energy Manipulation, and theorized usage of Soul Mutilation, but that’s only something that Dante suspected - and feared.
Fear and five Five: Give into the Rage - Powers: Bloodlust Empowerment, aided-Peak Supernatural Condition, and Hellfire Manipulation(Minor) The fourth and fifth fears - the fear of losing all sense of self-control and giving into dark desires - are manifested here, where here all sense of control is lost and temptation is too enormous to ignore. For Dante, he enters a state of absolution.The sins of his soul have had enough, and they push all of their frustrations outward into the material plane. It’s too much for Dante, so his sense around him is lost. Unable to know who friend or foe is, his body, led by his wrath, pushes all physicality within his Demigod body to the absolute maximum. Any physical aspects that Dante was capable of doing are pushed to the max. Here, with the aid of the fires of the underworld themselves, is where Dante enters a madness fueled by fire that can only be stopped by running its course, which seems to be a full hour after the rage was awakened.
Fear Six: Power: Bloodlust Aura Not yet manifested.
Fear Seven - Powers: Invisibility Not yet manifested.
Fear Eight - Powers: Shadow-Metal Manipuation(limited to the rare metals of the world) Not yet manifested.
Fear Nine - Powers: Fear Embodiment Not yet manifested.
"I believe in a pure love. The love in those romantic movies. But those aren't real so I don't know what to believe about love."

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.

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.

F E A R S:
🌕 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.

Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt.
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:
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.
H e n r y W a d s w o r t h L o n g f e l l o w "I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again the heart of a friend."

"Yeah, um, Cecily's cool. I don't mind her that much - she's a good person. Uh, but she's very affectionate, ain't she? I mean, it's not bad or anything...er..."
Honey’s very conflicted about Cecily. Being around is rather hard for him, considering how intimate and affectionate she is, and it frankly makes him a bit uncomfortable and he never knows what to say or do. So, instead, he just stuffs his face if there’s food nearby so he doesn’t have to talk. Despite how uncomfortable Honey can be around her, he admires her – he desires to be her friend because of how easy she is with people. He doesn’t really know how to be her friend, though, so he just nods along when she talks to him, mostly. It’s easier for Honey to talk to her over text message, like with most people, because that way she can’t constantly seek physical affection.
They originally met in the cafeteria on the third day of Honey's second year at the academy. Honey had arrived late and his usual empty table had been taken. He was about to dump his untouched food in the trash and walk out when Cecily offered a seat next to her for Honey. Honey, being polite, and slightly hungry, decided to sit. Their first meeting didn't yield much of a friendship and Honey booked it before she could ask for anything to keep in touch with him - he even made up his mind to put her on the avoid list. The next day, however, he had to eat with her again (he got the hiccups because he ate so fast) and the day after that and after that. Eventually, he ended up giving her his phone number and by Honey's third year, they had a weird slight friendship. A friendship where Cecily did the talking and Honey nodded along, mildly distant. It's really only over text message that he talks back, but even then he's reserved.

"A.J.'s...okay, I guess."
A.J. is in the top ten on Honey's avoid list. It's not that he doesn't like her - well, he hates everyone, but he doesn't hate her anymore than anyone else. It's just when she's around, Honey somehow ends up having more social dilemmas than usual. They met on campus and A.J. had no problem talking to him when he had meant to retrieve a dropped piece of paper by her feet, mostly small talk and of the likes. Honey's semi-unresponsiveness led her to become disinterested real quick, however. Honey doesn't have to try much to avoid A.J., as she seems just as reluctant to talk to him unless she's trying to coax him into some social encounter or another. Matter of fact, Honey doesn't even know if she realizes that he's avoiding her.

"We're close, I guess. Closer than I am with most people. She has nice hair..."
Honey has mixed feelings about his friendship with Birdie. On one hand, Birdie’s sudden and blunt nature often catches him by surprise and it always takes a moment to recover, but on the other hand she does all the work in the friendship. Honey doesn’t have to bother with talking as she’s always rambling to him, probably in hopes of getting him to talk more – he refuses. She’s also constantly complimenting him, calling him cute and sending him cheesy pickup lines – while he usually flushes when they’re face to face and mutter a half-assed compliment on her hair or shoes, he can’t help but laugh once in the privacy of his room. They text a lot, back and forth, and Honey tends to enjoy the conversations they have and sometimes replies more than two words (though it’s not as common). Honey does find her attractive – she is the daughter of Aphrodite, after all – but he would set himself on fire before he would tell her that.
The first time they met was super awkward, probably one of the most awkward moments of Honey’s life. It can’t even be considered a conversation when all they were doing was sitting next to each other after exchanging pleasantries. The second time, however, Birdie was a lot friendlier and Honey resigned himself to his fate. Birdie is on the avoid list, but she’s not in the Top Ten as, though he might pretend, Honey does enjoy her company.

“Talk about dick. Oh, erm, I don’t mean – it’s not like that, he’s just a big fucker? Shit, fuck, I mean a douchebag. He’s a douchebag.”
Honey doesn’t like Laurel in the least. Ever since that day on the archery fields when they had made eye contact and his cousin initiated that god forsaken competition, Laurel had been nothing but a pain in the ass. No matter where they are, if they’re in the same room, Laurel gets that same challenging glint in his eye, making a competition out of nothing and Honey can’t stand it. Honey hates feeling inferior to others, that’s the only reason why he participates in these stupid competitions (or that’s what he tells himself). To make matters worse, Laurel somehow got his hands on Honey’s number and texts him these days to initiate even more challenges – some Honey lose and some Honey wins, but on the plus side Honey knows he will always be the best archer.
The truth is, Laurel makes Honey a bit flustered – not in that romantic way, but in a tense fiery way and it’s rather frustrating for Honey. In person, Honey has no clue how to react to Laurel, most of the time he stays silent, but occasionally Honey will sling a few harsh words at Laurel politeness be damned. Laurel is #2 on Honey’s avoiding list – but, unfortunately, Laurel is rather hard to avoid. A lot harder than, say, Tessa or Cecily. And annoyingly persistent (but maybe it’s because Honey encourages the challenges).

"I don't want to talk about my supposed half-sister who I didn't know existed for the first ten and so years of my life. In short answer: I rather not think anything of her at all."
If you ever wonder who is the #1 person to avoid on Honey's avoid list, it's Tessa. Because he rather ot talk to his sister about how much of an amazing mother Artemis is or how nicely she treats Tessa. Plus, the whole situation is rather confusing for him. How is he supposed to feel about a sudden half-sister? Honey rather not think of it all and continue on with his life without sisters and mothers and burdensome feelings. Nevertheless, Honey is semi-polite when he can't get away fast enough, though he intentionally never answers any questions.

"We, uh, we're best friends on snapchat and yeah...that's it, honestly."
Dustyn’s friendly nature put Honey off at first, so he was very overwhelmed by her presence since the beginning. For the most part, when they’re talking in person, Honey tunes out while Dustyn talks and then she eventually gets bored and walks away. Despite how awkward and uncomfortable their real life conversations go, they actually tend to chat a lot on snapchat. There, Honey is a bit more comfortable in making jokes about his everyday life with Dustyn and he likes seeing Dustyn’s shenanigans (as long as he’s not included in them).

"Oh, um, I don't know who that is. Sorry."
Or so he thinks. Honey and Felicity actually do know each other, semi-well matter of fact. They just don’t know each other face to face. Instead, Honey and Felicity are email pen pals. They get along fairly well in their emails, as Honey often lends an ear to Felicity when she needs to get things off his chest and always responds to her immediately. They talk so extensively that Honey picks up sometimes when Felicity isn’t like her usual self, though he doesn’t know why. The anonymity of their relationship typically allows Honey to be a lot more forward with how he feels, not really afraid of making a bad impression – but he doesn’t talk about himself that much. Despite their intimate friendship, Honey doesn’t like divulging personal information and remains a bit reserved. However, he doesn’t go out of his way to hide little things and so Felicity might have picked up personal information in passing. Lately, emails between them have been slightly spotty, and it worries Honey that she might be losing interest in their friendship, but he’s always quick to respond to her anyways.
Honey and Felicity first made contact when Honey stumbled onto Felicity's art on an online site. He had commented on it, complimenting her, and she had replied. Soon they were sending PMs and eventually exchanged emails. Honey likes to see Felicity's new artwork a lot and has even printed a few to hang on his walls. Felicity knows Honey as his online persona latergator or just Gator.

"Devlin's...yeah, Devlin's sweet, really sweet. I don't, um, I mean, she's a lot easier to talk to than other people."
Honey and Devlin are acquaintances, maybe even slight friends, and Honey doesn’t mind talking to her when he sees her. He’s still awkward around her, especially since he is unsure how to react to her utterly sweet personality, and he doesn’t know how to talk to people that well, but if Honey had to pick someone to hang out with, he’d pick Devlin probably. He’s a lot more comfortable around her than with most people. They have exchanged phone numbers and text occasionally. They first met in passing, on campus, when Honey was loitering by a tree with his herbal tea and she happened to need a hand in carrying something. While Honey at first didn’t plan to help, a dirty look from a nearby stranger sent him scurrying to carry the hunks of metal.

Nickname: Prezzy, Preston-James (usually when he's in trouble), Arrogant Ass—eh. Just don't call him "PJ" that name annoys the hell out of him.
Birth Date: April 10, 1992
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual (Bi-Curious)
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Preston wears handsome like a prince, and that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that he knows he’s handsome. He may not be as hot as the Children of Aphrodite, but the Children of Hera were one of the Top 3 during The Judgment of Paris. His hair is silky to the touch. When combed and nourished with oils, it looks like whipped chocolate. His hairline is always immaculate, mostly because he’s his own barber. He wouldn’t dare trust some amateur, touching his hair. His eyes are a bluish-grey and his skin without blemish—the finest cream. Preston always likes to dress his best, wearing clothes from suits to fancy sweaters. His figure is rather thin and lean. He stands 5’10” and weighs 165 lbs. He works out mostly to look good for his self-expectations are through the roof.
Clothing Style: Suits, ties, leather shoes, sweater vests, sweaters, turtle necks, khaki,sunglasses, wristwatches—he wears the most expensive clothes, and he wears them for himself. So don't scuff what you can't afford. He will collect.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits
Preston has the bad habit of being painfully honest. The truth hurts and he's rather frank about it. Goodbye feelings.
Sadistic; one might not have expected it, but then how could you not? He is the Son of Hera. If you thought the young man was going to be born on a bed of roses, you got another thing coming.
Vain; he will get up early just to spend a good hour cleaning and grooming himself before he goes to class.
Envious; now, he's not envious when someone tries to get on his level. Huh, they'll never reach it. But he doesn't like being cheated on, ditched, or side-lined for someone who he deems to be insignificant.
Vengeful; when wronged, he will be avenged.

Personality:
♦ Arrogant ♦ Posh ♦ Wicked ♦ Witty
The Son of Hera is quite the character. His arrogance has no peak, but unlike most assholes, he can actually back it up. Hera raised him to be the best and so he strives to always be above others. Some people loathe this characteristic about him, while others pay him no mind. There are a unique few who can tolerate his pompous behavior, and usually those people either: a) have a sense of humor, b) look up to him (as they should), or c) have a tough skin. Sensitive people will have their emotions exploited by Preston. His words can be rather cutting.
Now, after reading this, some people are expecting a braggart. No…not entirely. Preston doesn’t usually have to announce how great he is for most can see it in his looks, how he carries himself, and his scores. He does his best and that should be admirable enough.
While at Olympus Academy, Preston has set himself up a nice counseling business where he will listen to the relationship problems of others. He likes to know when a couple plans to get married, and he does his best to help couples facing discord to resolve their problems so that they can stay together. He highly frowns upon divorce and breakups for the wrong reason, and even more so on sexual assault. For a special fee, demigods can pay him to take out those mortals or other demigods who have wronged them. Good or evil; it depends on how one looks at it.
Preston actually has a personality disorder where he can harm and murder others without feeling a hint of regret. People who tend to consult that side of him are wanting that person who hurt them to disappear, and he will gladly make that happen if one were wronged.
Background: Okay, wait, I’m telling this story. Once upon a time, my rich asshole of a father met my cold bitch of a mother at a banquet in Manchester, England, and then I was born! Heh, if it was that simple of a story. Their relationship is a complicated one. It even confuses me sometimes. My father is named, Richard James (see where I got my middle name?) McTavish, and he’s a pretty famous entrepreneur. He’s basically paid to travel and solve simple problems involving organization and talent management in corporations. My mother, well, she was drawn to him by accident but she says that my father radiated in the room and that she couldn’t resist a dance with him. They danced and lingered in each other’s company, and not once did they say anything kind to one another. It was a battle of wits or perhaps that was how it appeared to everyone else. The two were practically randy for each other and every time mother comes to visit, the room tends to get a little warmer.
I was told that while mother was pregnant with me, she left my father alone to lay in Zeus’s presence, harassing him with her swollen womb. Hm…I suppose I’m lucky to be alive. She eventually gave birth to me and carried me between the mortal realm and Olympus, flaunting me to the other members of the dodekatheon. I grew up with the silver spoon in my mouth as they say or fortunate that my mother was one of the most influential goddesses in the universe.
I was home schooled for most of my education for my mother feared my powers affecting the other children. I almost didn’t get to attend Olympus Academy because my father was so intrigued by my gifts that he wanted to use me for his business. I would have had a full-time professional job, and I wouldn’t have to get a degree. Sighs…Hera refused, and forced me to go to this school of demigod idiots, promising me that I’ll learn something. We will see. Maybe this school will be amusing.
Extra: Hm...do I want to say the same gods and goddesses again? Nah.
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Hera
Relationship With Godly Parent: Hera loves her son, and is actually pleased that he turned out looking better than her last son *coughshephaestuscoughs* Because of this, she absolutely spoils Preston. Since he enrolled in Olympus Academy, he hasn’t seen her around as much, but he knows that when he returns home for the summer breaks, Hera is always eager to hear about her son’s time at school.
Godly Abilities: Emotion Embodiment: Preston has the ability to become the physical manifestation of his emotions, and gains the ability to influence his represented emotion:
Envy – He becomes the embodiment of envy/jealousy and gains power from envy of others and oneself. He can use envy as a power source to extend his lifespan until his envy is satisfied or use it as a weapon. He can use this power to get what he wants or kill others in order to take what he wants. Limit: Preston can only use this power while jealous. The power granted by Envy embodiment is listed as a subparagraph beneath this one.
Curse Inducement – Like his queen mother, when jealous, Preston can place a curse on whatever he wishes (people, places, objects, etc.). The exact effects can be nearly anything the user desires, ranging from minor annoyances to torturously extended death. Most common effects are misfortune/bad luck, various sicknesses, infertility, physical defects/ugliness, etc. Limit: Preston can only use this power while jealous. | Cure: Preston is the only one who can remove his hexes on others, and it requires him to be able to forgive the afflicted person, which requires much persuasion.
Vengeance/Revenge Empowerment – Preston can become an embodiment of vengeance, often gaining power from the vengeful feelings of both himself and others around him. This power empowers him, making him stronger, faster, more durable, et al; from vengeance of oneself and others. This power allows him to unlock abilities related to the affinity and enhance his existing powers. This power is most effective during incidents of humiliation or defeat. If Preston was defeated by an enemy or enemies, his vengeance will kick in, restoring him back to optimum health with his boosted strength brought on by his revenge empowerment. Limit: Preston can only use this power only when desiring vengeance/revenge for a crime committed against him or others.
Persuasion: Preston can compel people by speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling. This power has grown stronger since attending Olympus Academy to the point where he can persuade people into hurting/killing themselves or even flip around their sense of logic, but can never cause victims to achieve what they are not naturally (to include supernaturally) capable of. For example, if mortals naturally do not fly, then he cannot compel a human to fly. If a being is a fire elemental, he cannot make the fire elemental use ice. Preston calls his ability Mesmer for when he uses the ability his tone of voice changes, and those under its influence are unable to detect it. When he uses his speech craft, his voice bears an eldritch resonance that can easily reverberate and slip into the conscious of others, seemingly hypnotizing them. Most don’t know that they’re being affected until after they completed the implanted mission. Limit(s): Preston must be able to speak to control people and subjects must be able to understand and hear his commands; someone with high intelligence or super intelligence can be resistant to it; someone with ridiculously low intellect to the point where one is too stupid to grasp Preston’s meanings are also resistant to it; complex commands may be less effective than simple commands; and anything that prevents the user from speaking or hearing barriers such as walls or headphones can block this power.
Mental Shield Penetration – Hera’s powers were strong enough to even manipulate Zeus. Likewise, Preston can locate psychic barriers in the minds of others and shatter them to allow for his Persuasion power to easily penetrate one’s conscience. Limit: Penetrating one’s mental defense may have unintended consequences to the target’s psyche and making physical contact with a victim makes the penetration inevitable.

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.
"The storm doesn't last forever. It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is silent and still, you find peace. Quiet, gentle, peace." - S.L. Jennings
Personal Information
Name: Olivia Margaret Weston
Nickname: Liv - Commonly used amongst her friends, and truly the nickname she prefers.
Birth Date: June 22, 1996
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: While Liv thinks she's nothing special, many a boy would tell her otherwise. In fact, to many she's quite the beauty. Smooth, ivory skin, and flowing, shoulder length, chocolate hair that frames her face just right. Her smile is infectious, and when she does grin or laugh, it shows across her entire face, with her crinkling eyes and the dimples in her cheeks. Her eyes are a sea green, fitting considering her parentage. She's not particularly tall, only standing at around 5'2, with a slender, athletic form, a result of years of training at OA. While she doesn't have any tattoos, she does have her ears pierced.
Clothing Style: The best way to describe Liv's clothing style is casual. She doesn't dress like a runway model for a normal school day, but she does put some effort in. Form fitting jeans and an exceptionally cute t-shirt aren't uncommon, and neither are dresses and skirts, paired with jackets or blouses. Truly, Liv's style is constantly adapting for the needs of the present, although one constant is that she never likes to be too showy.

Personality:
♦ Caring ♦ Courageous ♦ Honest ♦ Reserved
When Liv isn't around and people are discussing her in a positive light, they'll talk about how caring she is. How she won't let anyone suffer, and how she loves making new friends. They'll talk about how brave she is, and while she hates conflict, she's not afraid to start a fight with a bully, or someone who she thinks deserves it. They'll talk about how honest she is, and how she could never tell a lie, mainly because she's the worst liar in the world, but also because she has a strong sense of right and wrong, and lying doesn't fall on the right side. But with more somber tones, they'll mention how she seems to be holding back sometimes, never getting too excited about things, and generally just trying not to work herself up.
If the conversation is more negative though, people might begin discussing how she's too blunt, a lack of understanding for other people's feelings. They'd talk about how she's too righteous, always going after the bad guy but never stopping to think about why. They'd most certainly talk about her temper, the one that she tries so hard to keep under wraps, but is terrified of letting loose. Luckily for Liv, most people don't have a bad thing to say about her, or at least not that she knows of.
Background: A sailboat out on the open sea, a young artist at the helm. A storm that should've destroyed the boat, but instead left it bobbing gently in the middle of the ocean. This is how Posiedon and Margaret Weston met. Margaret loves to tell the story, of how the storm passed, and a handsome man was rising from the water, and floating towards her boat. It always brings a smile to her face. Their's was a short lived affair, though both loved the other, of that Liv is certain. But Posiedon had other duties, and Margaret was a free spirit, and so they left each other behind.
Although, Margaret was left with one parting gift. A baby, who she would name Olivia. Growing up, Liv had a less than normal life. Her mother was an artist, and had a penchant for packing everything up and moving to any random place that seemed to inspire her at the time. Small towns, tropical islands, big cities, you name it. Margaret had a trust fund filled with cash and a never ending sense of wanderlust. And while this didn't allow Liv to have a completely normal education and childhood, it certainly kept her life interesting.
Growing up, Liv was home schooled by her mother, an education that always seemed to focus more on painting than anything else. Many times, Liv would take her education into her own hands, teaching herself about the American Revolution, or the Civil War, although she's never resented her mother for this. In fact, she believes the whole experience made her much stronger.
Liv's father would come to her for the first time on her 16th birthday, after a particularly destructive event happened, caused by Liv. Only a few days earlier, Liv had witnessed a mugging on a small street in the town that she and her mother were living in at the time. Desperate to help, she'd rushed forward, her rage surging, desperately wanting to do something. And something she did. Her raw emotion channeled into the ground and caused a furious eruption of water, like nothing she'd ever seen or done before. The town was flooded, and it was that day that she swore to keep her emotions in check. When her father came, he told her about OA, and she accepted eagerly, desperate to learn how to control her powers.
Extra: Still Athena
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Posiedon
Relationship With Godly Parent: Their's is an amicable relationship that much is clear. Her mother always spoke highly of him, and made it clear that their separation was mutual, and that he did not abandon them. Liv holds no resentment towards him for not being around, although sometimes she blames him for cursing her with such destructive powers.
Godly Abilities: Hydrokinesis - Liv is capable of hydrokinesis, the manipulation of water. She can pull moisture from the air to create and shape water to her will, or she can use an existing source. She can control the speed at which water moves, turning a jet of water into a highly pressurized weapon, or even the temperature, freezing or boiling small bodies of water. When she is calm, this ability is only as dangerous as she wants it to be, although when she is highly distressed, she can lose control, and this power becomes quite dangerous to those around her.
Geokinesis - Posiedon was also known to cause massive earthquakes, and this ability has been passed on to Liv. While she can really only make the ground rumble enough to throw someone off balance, she rarely does, fearing that she'll lose control and hurt others, or destroy something.

| Avery . Stratton {☯} | "Is it weird that I'm sort of afraid of her?" Webster hasn't spoken to A.J. much, due to their age gap, but he's heard stories. He tries to keep her name out of his mouth as much as possible. Mainly because he's pretty confident that she'd have him disappear for a long time if he pissed her off.
| Halo . Douglas {☯} | "Who?" Webster hasn't met Halo personally. The gap in age between them has kept them mostly out of each other's paths.

| 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.
| Birdie . Applesgale {♫} | "Birdie is awesome. She's a great listener and she gives really great advice, and she's just all around awesome." Webster often takes his love life problems to Birdie, her being the daughter of Aphrodite and all. He considers her one of his best friends, and is always up to hang out with her.
| 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.
| 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.
| Hunter . Emerson {⚜} | "Tess' half brother. I've only met him once, but I don't think he's a big fan of Tess, as much as she might want him to be." Webster and Honey haven't spoken much, but they've met once or twice. Not a whole lot he can say on the kid.
| 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.

| Devlin. Chadwick {★} | "Dev's great! She's an amazing engineer, though I guess that's to be expected." Devlin serves as a bit of an engineering mentor for Charlie, and she'll often enlist his help for large projects.

| 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.

| Harada . Dana {☯} | "I'd love to spar with her. I mean, I'd get my ass handed to me on a silver platter, but it would be fun!" Tess has seen how Dana handles herself in the arena and is pretty impressed.
| 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.

Personal Information
Name: Avery J. Stratton
Nickname: A.J., if making a name out of initials counts as a nickname. It's perhaps one of the nicer names people give to her all things considered.
Birth Date:
August 20, 1994
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
In The Mirror
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.
Delving Deeper
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.
"Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces. " -Judith Viorst
Nickname: Depending on who it is, it might be 'Lessa', which is not something she particularly enjoys since it sounds eerily similar to 'Lesser' which comes with all sorts of negative connotations; or it might be 'Sandra' by those who think the name 'Alessandra' is a bit too taxing to say.
Honestly, if it helps, she'd prefer it if you just called her 'Al'.
Birth Date: October Seventh
Age: 18
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Lesbian
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: When one thinks of a child of the god of war, the image that comes to mind is not likely that of Alessandra Sykes. For starters, she's rather, well, short, standing at 4'9" without the aide of any sort of platform, be it shoe or podium, and with that small height comes a rather small frame to match. Alessandra is certainly a healthy person, but her slender physique and small musculature has her looking more like someone who would be protesting a conflict rather than engaging in one. She isn't a physically weak or frail person by any means, but intimidation is not a look that suits her in any shape or form.
Her rounded face has a youthful look about it, her mother always said it was due to being a 'late bloomer' but Alessandra believes that her blooming period came and went by this point. Her eyes are rather expressive and wide, with vibrant brown pupils and ever-present makeup so that the eyes of others are instinctively drawn towards her own. Underneath her eyes, both of them, are two silver gems, one under each eye, that she received as a birthday gift. It's like a permanent accessory, her face is bedazzled. Alessandra's hair is as brown as her eyes and constantly blows in the breeze, which is an annoyance with how wild and in-the-way her bangs tend to get. She's been told to cut it shorter but she has yet to heed that advice.
Alessandra is fine with her size and build, but if there's one thing she's self conscious about it is her nose. She is not a fan of how small her nose is, nor does she like it when people press their finger against it and go 'boop' which stopped being cute right about the time she was able to walk.
Clothing Style: A startling number of Alessandra's clothes tend to be black in color. She's not going through a phase or anything, she just finds that black really brings out the color in her skin, plus it pairs well with a wide variety of clothing. She doesn't exactly put forth a lot of effort in co-ordinating outfits, however. Most days will find Alessandra in a sundress (spaghetti strap being her favorite) and boots. Hardly anything that would mark her as a fashionista, but it's what she enjoys and feels comfortable in.
Delving Deeper
Quirks/Oddities/Habits
Alessandra insists on going to bed no later than 12:30 A.M. and gets unreasonably cranky if she is up later than that or is woken up.
Can and will jump onto people's backs and expect to be carried. The daughter of the god of war needs warhorses after all.
Puts hot sauce on damn near everything.
Often slips and lets loose a malapropism. Don't correct her.
If a sandwich has crusts on it, she will not cut them off but rather bite them off and spit them out. It sounds gross but it looks adorable in reality.
Likes:
☑ Spicy foods. She has a bottle of hot sauce with her at meals just to add kick to the offerings.
☑ Dark chocolate. Milk is too rich, white is poison, dark is the sweet spot.
☑ Rare steaks. Don't even talk to her if you take it above medium rare, because you have no taste.
☑ Jewelry. She likes looking at colorful gems and stones in secret.
☑ Tabletop games. Board or card being her preference. She might not be good at them, but they're enjoyable.
Dislikes: ☒ Dogs. They've never agreed with her so screw 'em and their barking.
☒ Most music. So much of it is just...nothing.
☒ Warm beverages. That is why ice exists.
☒ Dreaming. It interrupts an otherwise perfect sleep.
☒ People that correct her or otherwise talk down to her.
Fears:
Accidentally going too far whenever she gets swept up into a confrontation.
Because Alessandra is often the shortest and smallest person in any given location (barring her being around children for some reason) she's taken to also being one of the LOUDEST wherever she goes. She doesn't scream every word or anything ridiculous like that but she is always full of energy and practically raring to go at the drop of a pin. Is it any wonder why she likes to go to bed earlier? Older sorts, like adults, tend to label her as a hellion but she's not really a troublemaker.
What she IS is someone that always seems to be looking for a reason to throw down. "You wanna go?" is not a rhetorical question with her. To her credit, however, Alessandra isn't one to bully people into fights and more often than not her requests and threats of fighting are met with laughter because how could someone short be serious. She's a competitive person, but manages to channel that competitive nature in ways that don't revolve around fighting people.
Alessandra is rarely taken seriously until people see that behind her diminutive and cute persona is someone that came from the god of war. Really, Alessandra wants to be taken seriously after being seen and treated like a child just because of her physical attributes and the best way to get people to notice and acknowledge her is by MAKING them notice and acknowledge her. But it just becomes so difficult when she so often acts like a child emulating her older siblings.
Background: The sad part of Alessandra's life was when she realized she didn't know her father, but it didn't last all that long. The god known as Ares was not exactly a considerate father or lover when he had a single night of passionless action with a police officer who made media attention thanks to her handling of an armed hostage taker situation. Ares was attracted to the woman's bravery (as he saw it, plenty disagreed), while Margaret Sykes was attracted to the Adonis belt before realizing how awkward and awful the night was. It was supposed to be a one and done, two adults being adults.
Nine months later Alessandra was born and by that point the father had all but vanished.
It was hardly easy being raised by a single parent, especially one that worked a career that was potentially dangerous (though the chief did put Alessandra's mother behind a desk for the duration of her pregnancy and the early years of Alessandra's life), but Alessandra didn't complain, understanding the sacrifices that surely had to be made for her sake. She was close with her mother because of that, even during the moments of annoyance such as whenever Alessandra asked about her father.
Of course, when the truth came out, Alessandra assumed it to be a joke, to the point where she appreciated the efforts her mother would go to just to appease her. After all, how could she be the daughter of the god of war when the most 'war' she got involved in was the card game of the same name? But the disbelief and humor morphed into morbid understanding, aided considerably by her acceptance and arrival at Olympus Academy.
It was a bit of a shock at first, because of course it would be, but Alessandra adapted and even began embracing her heritage. She doesn't know her father but she knows OF him. Ares has seen the type of girl Alessandra has become, short, weak, soft, and wants nothing more to do with her. She's probably better off, having been raised by a more moral person means Alessandra's conflict and innate affinity towards it can be geared more towards causes of justice rather than war for the sake of it.
Her lack of height she blame entirely on her father and wants to punch him for it.
Extra: Eros. Hahaha no but really
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Ares, the god of war, son of Zeus and Hera, brother of Athena, lover of many, father of many more.
Relationship With Godly Parent: Ares has no daughter. Well that's not true, he's had kind of a lot, but specifically he has no daughter named Alessandra. Were she born in Sparta and also a male, she would have been chucked aside, or so Ares believes. It's clear that Alessandra is not exactly the image of war and conflict and this has contributed to Ares all but abandoning her to her own fate. She doesn't mind, but she'd one day really like to punch him in the face just to show that she didn't fall that far from the tree.
Godly Abilities: Conflict -Alessandra has a knack for both finding and pulling others into conflict, be it actual physical fighting or just verbal arguments. She secretly enjoys getting into fights even if she swears otherwise. She cannot command others to fight, but staying around her for a long enough time just might draw out the base desire for fighting.
Swordsmanship -A not so fancy way of saying that Alessandra knows how to wield a blade. She prefers fencing, obviously, but knows techniques. When weapons aren't involved she can use makeshift things, like say a thick enough stick, like a sword. A stick does not turn into or take on the characteristics of a sword, but she wields it the same.
Righteous Indignation -Though Alessandra does secretly enjoy getting into conflicts, she not-so-secretly finds more fulfillment in fighting in reaction to negative actions such as abuse, mistreatment, insults, and the like. While she doesn't fly off the handle over every little bit of injustice, she will often step into conflicts that aren't hers both to fuel her desire and to be seen as something of a guardian.
Nerves of Steel -Alessandra has no fear (listed fears above aside, but those are secret duh) and with a lack of fear comes courage by way of rushing into things. Multiple opponents? No problem. Scary movies? You're fucking WEAK if you get scared. Final exams? She doesn't even STUDY.
Sex Appeal -Not actually an ability but Ares had a lot of consorts and Alessandra wishes she knew his secret because everyone just sees her as this little hellion and not as a prospect for sick make outs.

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.

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 c:
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.

| L A U R E L . P R I C E {♫♥} | "Call me the daughter of Poseidon cause Lee has me soaked." Without even knowing one another's name at first, Laurel and Dustyn were intertwined in a whirlwind of fun, passion, and excitement. When they met they danced the whole night away together and ever since then have been fairly close. They aren't anything official yet, but it wouldn't be a surprise if something was in the works.
| 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.
| M A R I A N A . D I X O N {★} | "Laurel's little shitster. She's the best." Meeting one another through Laurel, Dustyn knew from the beginning that Mari was going to be a good person. The two often pair up to tease and torment Laurel and Honey from time to time. It's nice to have someone to talk to about Laurel, when Dustyn gets into a weird "maybe I want something serious" mood about him.
| 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.
| R Y A N . T R A U B E N {★} | "My brother from another mother." Siblings and usually friends, Ryan and Dustyn often can be found having a good time out and about in the brightest corners the night has to offer. These two may have their vices but they balance one another out in an odd way. Dusty takes her big sister role seriously, and wants the best for Ryan. She's not afraid to speak up for him and help to point him in the direction she feels is right.

| 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.
| A L E X A N D E R . R E I S E N D E R {☯} | "Not sure why you're so cold to me, kid." Not really knowing what she did to cause any hard feelings towards Alex, she assumes their personalities just don't match up at all. She doesn't have any hard feelings towards him, hoping that one day he will maybe warm up to her. Until then, she refers to him as "bitch witch" when talking about him to others. Dustyn calls him "kid" to his face.
| Z A C H A R I A H . R O T H S C H I L D {☯} | "I heard that he has a huge thunderbolt." When Dustyn found out that Abe was Tess' roommate for the year, she couldn't help but be a bit excited for her friend. She knew Tess had a crush on him for ages, and Dusty soon realized why when they met. Suave, handsome, and a bit on the flirty side. Dustyn hopes to build a friendship with Abe and prays that he treats Tess with kindness. The truth to find out if the rumor is accurate is a secret side mission.

She has a creative mind and she knows how to use it most days into her work. She isn't just smart when it comes to creating things. She also very smart in some subjects of life like a working out problems and her classes at school. She has a fun-loving personality, but it depends on who is around. When Devlin is around her family, or close friends she is random, she has her moments of random funny dancing, or just the odd joke out there. Delin will also say random words she makes up are talk about something she heard before, She also likes to play harmless pranks with her friends. Devlin volunteers her time, when she isn't busy with her own classes to help new students settle into the academy, She has enjoyed spending her free time helping the first years classes during their study period.

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.

Machine Aptitude: Devlin can understand and sense machinery and has the ability to expertly operate machines she has had no prior experience with.

Pyrokinesis is one of the more practiced skills like telekinesis. It is too, for warming people up or setting objects aflame. Her pyrokinesis is supposedly a gift, hasn't quite made up her mind yet about if it's true or not.

Fire Immunity: Devlin discovers she is fireproof, When she was still living with her Grandparents. She could sit in a blazing fireplace and be completely comfortable. However, Devlin's supernova fire explosion was fatal even to Devlin, enough to char her body. She also found, when she is angry. Her immunity seems to disappear and has burned herself during the times they were gone. Heat Sensitivity: She can sense heat, flames, and metals, even allow her to walk through the forest at night in the form of thermal vision.

Clothing Style: Petere tends to wear quite casual clothes, jeans or shorts and sneakers (he need the right shoes for running away). Though as far as shirts go it's hard to judge what he'll. One day it might a casual top of a calmer colour then the next day he might bound around in a brightly coloured Hawaiian shirt. In formal situations Peter is one who's totally turn up in golden or purple or patterned suit. Even though his clothing is casual it's not odd for him to walk around Olympus Academy in something completely out there. He wears a silver chain around his neck and has a thing for his black rimmed gasses with no lenses.

Starvation
Personality:
♦ Jokester ♦ Childish ♦ Vain ♦ exuberant
Technically Peter is 21 but mentally? He's a 5 year old. Fart jokes, terrible childish comebacks and a distaste for 'spoil sports' Peter might as well be a child. A child who has the knowledge to create and pull off pranks and, possibly most dangerously, has an access to liquor. Peter seems to find everything funny regardless on whether he still should or not. He is very childish and can rarely rise to acting his age, whether he be in classes, in casual settings, getting a talking to from Mr D or whatever there's no doubt that he's probably still not acting his age. Even at 21 he's still a class clown.
Peter is exuberant. Loud and wild he never seems to not have that cheeky grin on his face except when he's laughing. He's a lot of fun to be around but a little difficult to handle. His ego makes it no easier either. Peter's ego is sky-high. He is very full of himself and will often comment on his body or 'amazing personality'. It's aspect he shares with the males of the Aphrodite cabin, wven if they aren't technically related, he even greatly fear disfigurement.
Much like many Hermes' kids Peter is a prankster. He considers himself prankmaster of camp half-blood and has pulled off countless pranksover his years at camp half-blood and almost everyone has become a victim. When making pranks Peter takes in very little consideration in the effect thwy'd have on others, as long as he's amused he sees no problem.
Background: Taylor McMillan was only 17 when she fell pregnant after a Summer fling, unbeknownst to her that her Summer romance was with the god Hermes himself. Scared, ridiculed and neither willing or ready to care for a child she quickly found a couple to adopt her unborn son. Peter's adoptive parents were always straight-up about Peter's adoption, they didn't look like him anything like him anyway, but still, to this day, claim the day they first held him was the best day of their lives.
Even though he never knew his real mother Peter lived quite a happy childhood. Although it wasn't a luxurious life the family of three lived happily and more than enough of their needs covered. Most importantly of all they were able to invest a lot of time in each other. Even though he doesn't see them often anymore Peter still considers his parents his best friends.
It took Hermes weeks to convince Peter's parents to get him Olympus Academy. Even though he had proved that he was Peter's father what sort of man leaves his son for 16 years then waltzes in telling his parents how to raise him. Eventually they figured it was the best place for their son and, with heavy hearts, let him go.

Godly Information
Godly Parent: Hermes
Relationship With Godly Parent: Hermes and Peter get on famously. Even though Hermes does have to send him warnings through abstract god communication but, in the few times they have met, the pair are often laughing over stories. Peter doesn't seem to hold any beef against his father for his lack of appearance in his life.
Godly Abilities: Peter can sense and magically pick almost any lock, leaves him a great advantage when he's prank, whether in the process if it or trying to escape the angry victim. Cunning: Don't take that childishness for stupidity, although he may not be achievable academically he's very sly and cunning.
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.

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).
That's so Mari~
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.

Personal Information
Name: Alexander Marie Reisender
Nickname: Alex. Or witch to tease him. (the male version is WARLOCK!)
Birth Date: 5th of August
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Hetero
In The Mirror
In Depth Appearance: Alex can be described as average. In fact, he is so average that it becomes exceptional. He's 5'8" high, looks neither muscular nor weak. Isn't fat, nor can you call him really slender. He prefers to keep his brown hair short, as it is most of the times a near untamable. It points literally every possible way except for down. His eyes are the only things that one might notice. For just how dark they are. The iris and the pupils are nearly the same color. Pitch black. Giving the illusion sometimes as if he has large, black eyes. He doesn't want a beard and makes sure to shave every morning to keep it from growing. Which helps making him look younger than he actually is. Not that he's working towards that. It's just a side effect of how he looks in general.
Clothing Style: Comfort is first and foremost of importance to Alex. He often buys his clothes a little too big, so they more or less hang on him. He prefers the baggy look because, as the name suggested, it offers tons of pockets to store stuff in. More specifically, his first choice of trousers will always be jeans. Often they are just a little too long, so the bottoms scrape over the ground a little. Unraveling them a little. His shirt isn't really form fitting but very comfortable. Finally, he MUST wear a hoodie at all time. An Alex without a hoodie is an Alex who is not particularly happy by default. The hoodies he owns are mostly either light gray or dark blue.

Having to look after small children. Seriously, don't do it. He's not going to eat them but he literally can't handle any human child younger than 8.
Losing his powers
Being the center of attention, he has no problem with a little but he just wants to turtle up should an entire classroom start applauding. Asking him to dance in front of a group and he'll literally bolt.
Really live his life without love (Secret fear, even he denies it)
Personality:
♦ Curious ♦ Calm ♦ Distant ♦ Smart
First and foremost, Alex is not a- or anti-social. In fact he will have no problem to approach people he doesn't know yet. Whe he won't do is talk about himself, his problems, feelings or even interests. When he talks with you, it will always about you. He'll make a very conscious effort to keep it that way. Of course, when you ask how he is or what's up he'll answer: with a 'just fine'. Or a 'Oh nothing special'. Even when that's not true, he'll just lie about it. That's how he grew up. Keeping to himself. Never the less he's a very good friend to have. He's loyal and trustworthy.
Asides from that he generally sits still, does nothing big and can be very quiet. In those moments, he mostly is just practicing or playing with his arts. Which are incredibly important to him. He loves his powers more than anything. And he constantly strives to imrove them. He even keeps a grimoire, a digital one, on a stick around his neck.
He will rarely attack an enemy of his outright. In that, Alex is worse. He'll use his powers to curse you. To manipulate the small things in your life. Make you sick or vomit. The fact is that a hostile Alex is a very dangerous one. Because he has no concept of limits. He won't ever set the first step, but stand on his toes and you'll regret it. He can also be quite vengeful. Unable to let go of things and forgive people.
Background: Alex was born out of wedlock. Obviously. What made it worse was that his father was already married. The worst? He already had a child. His wife, Leana, was out on a, art scholarship in San Fransisco. She saved for over 4 years, since she was 16 for the scholarship, as painting was her true dream. Markus was her childhood crush and now husband. The two loved eachother very much, but Markus got lonely. Looking after the newborn babe demanded a lot of his energy and after a short while he got rather depressed. He started drinking out at the bar and paid a babysitter almost every night. He encountered Hecate, who then passed for just Kate or Cathrine at night. When he drunkenly stumbled back home. Markus, despite being a drunk, still had a certain charm about him. And Cahtrine was a completely mystery herself.
She conceived the child the day Leana returned. Furious at Markus, she left in tears taking her paintings that turned their flat colorful. And Alexander's big brother, James. The next day she filed for divorce. Markus took it rather hard, falling deeper and deeper into a depression, fueled by booze. Until Selena entered Markus' world. Ironically Selena was a distant friend of Leana's, who was just in between jobs and had no issues making a little money babysitting. Everything Cathrine wasn't, Selena was. She was stable, most and foremost. Much more stable than Markus. She was also incredibly patient and very loving towards little Alex. While Markus knew he was slowly falling in love with her, he was first rather afraid of the idea of loving another woman. But somehow Selena silenced those fears. The couple married when Alex was 6 years. But he remembers nothing of the wedding.
All the while Alex grew up thinking he was just some other lady's child. Strangely he never had problems with the idea of never knowing his real mom. He had accepted Selena as his mom very fast. Everything changed though when he was walking outside at dusk. When suddenly a black veiled lady walked towards the house. Hecate. This happened when he was 11. She apparently demanded that his father would send him to Olympus Academy when he turned 16. Markus, angry that the goddess just then showed up, after more than a decade of raising her child without her ever showing up. He actually slammed the door in her face. Selena opened it again though, she offered Hecate to come inside, and discuss the situation. But the goddess refused. Secretly she would teach those who were rude to her.
That's when Alex began to levitate stuff and talk to ghosts. His powers came within an instance, and the boy was rather distraught about it. His condition worsened, to the point that he ran away from the classroom crying several times. This continued for nearly a year until Hecate returned with her request. That was when Selena stopped being patient. Surely Alex's condition took a great toll on her. But instead of using that, she told Hecate that she was torturing the innocent boy. Who had done her nothing wrong. Hecate, realizing her mistake, tried to undo what she did before. With no success. It was Selena that then demanded her to visit Alex every now and then. As well as to leave behind methods so he could learn how to control his power.
Hecate first saw the boy as a problem to her. But he learned quickly. It became very apparent that Alex had a certain talent for his mother's art. So instead of going out with friends and talking during the break times, he was reading his weird books and muttering to the air. He became a bit of recluse, though he went to a good school. The children never bullied him over it. Some still dared to approach him and learned that he was a good person to talk to. Mostly because he preferred to just listen.
Extra: Thanathos
Godly Information
Godly Parent: Hecate
Relationship With Godly Parent: At first, she saw him as a problem. An inconvenience at best actually. But as god she had a divine obligation to send him towards Olympus Academy. However, since he turned 11 and she 'cursed' him with an early activation of his powers, she grew ever more fond of the boy. He became greedy for more knowledge and wasn't afraid to test things himself. But what really caught his attention was his willingness to let things settles. There would always be mysteries in the world, and even in magic, some things had no explanation other than that they just existed. He was never arrogant that he thought he could unravel the magic to the very bone. He now thrives to make her even prouder of him. Because he knows that for every challenge conquered, his mother will have a new one ready.
Godly Abilities:
Spellcasting Spellcasting is a very basic form of witchcraft. Spells are often manifestations of mythical energy, called upon by an invocation and channeled through a focus object. They are direct, fast but crude. Effective none the less. While Spellcasting might be the most basic form, it is one of the hardest to completely master. And even then, mysteries are all over the place. Spellcasting is directly tied to how much the caster knows of the invocation (a perfect recitation will yield greater result that random babbling, which might even be dangerous), material he/she uses for the focus (a wand made from 250-year-old oak will channel far better than one made from plastic of a broken toy) and understanding of the mythical energies flowing through the world.
Rituals Rituals are often (and wrongly) seen as just spells with a bit more preparation to them. It is true that rituals often require more resources (ranging from just chalk and candles to an entire forest, a hell-circle and the skull of a manticore). However, rituals are vitally different in the way that they use not the mystical energies all around them, but specifically from the ingredients they use. For example, the powers of Tartarus are usually not at disposal for spellcasting. But the energies can be drained through a Titan's Prison Siphon ritual. Do note that most energies (or objectives you want to achieve with) rituals can only be done through rituals. Again, for example, Tartarus' energies are exceptionally powerful to tie down foes. But the energies react extremely violently should they just be summoned and tried to be used through spell casting.
Brewing Witchcraft does not revolve completely around the mystical energies of this world and the others. Some draw effect from mythological resources like manticore poison or Cerebus hair. They create potent potions, capable of accelerate healing. Or devastating poison, which can destroy vast plots of land. For reasons so far unknown, potions their potency is at best when made by someone gifted by Hecate.
Mediumship Mediums call upon the ghosts and spirits of those long past but who, for some reason, are not allowed to descend into the underworld. Or who fight its pull still. Mediums act as a bridge between the veiled world and the real one, letting family members say goodbye or extract the name of someone's murderer for justice. Mediums can see into both the veiled world and the real one. But their profession is not without danger. Without the right precautions, a malevolent spirit can take over their bodies. Causing terrible physical and mental harm.
Animation Animator is a sub-branch of necromancy with a lot of popularity. Instead of using rotting corpses and bones to raise a puppet, animators can channel the same kind of necromantic energy into other lifeless objects. Allowing them to move (if they are physically capable of that. Animated tables will not start walking). Animators commonly construct golems from straw or clay. Making sure they got the right joints and such.
Necromancy A foul practice. One Hecate herself would rarely not frown upon. Early necromantic powers consist of using the bodies of the dead and turn them into puppets. They are less a soldier than any living, walking, breathing creature every could be. But the dead are plentiful and should you have mastered the right arts, keeping them from falling apart would cost surprisingly little energy. But the foulness does not stop there. Advanced necromancers use their terrible arts to expand their own lives, or even pull wailing spirits into the physical world.
Alex, so far, has some understanding of spellcasting and mediumship. While he has only scratched the surface of rituals and brewing.

Name: Atticus Augustus Caesar
Nickname: Attie, "the Sanguine Son"
Birth Date: 03/14/1992
Age: 24 (7th Year)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
In Depth Appearance:
Atticus is a bulky man, standing at an intimidating 6"7' and weighs 275lbs. His facial features are bold, grizzled, and gruff, and there seems to be a permanent scowl scrawled across his lips. Atop his skull, he sports short, black hair that he styles obsessively. The man's sullen, hazel eyes dart around constantly, as if waiting for something to happen. Beneath his vexed visage, his muscles are clearly visible, honed to peak performance, and he makes sure everyone knows his strength. Were it not for his constant tough guy look, one might be able to consider Atticus as attractive.
Clothing Style:
Someone of his social status can only be expected to wear the finest of garments. All of his clothing is high end, name brand fabric, and he doesn't go a day without dressing to the nines. In fact, his ego practically bleeds through his form fitting threads. For combat, Atticus dawns a snug leather jerkin, complete with steel plates running down his left arm.

Personality:
♦ Arrogant ♦ Fearless ♦ Destructive ♦ Sensitive
Atticus is a vain man, as evidenced by his fine threads and fierce demeanor. There is very little to say about the man that he hasn't said himself. Lording himself over others and intimidating those that get in his way, quite a few people try not to approach him, especially when he seems to be in a bad mood. Atticus has a tendency to flip out when people try and tell him what to do or criticize him in any manner. Pushing the man beyond what people would consider his "normal" tantrums is likely to end with violence. Strangely, sentimental moments, such as in movies, will bring the man to tears.
Background:
Atticus was born into privilege and wealth beyond what most could imagine. His mother inherited money from her oil tycoon father, so there were never any hardships in Atticus' life. Growing up between cities of Monaco and Milan, Italy, his mother was more lenient than she should have been and there were never any restrictions put on him. The people in his life coddled and praised him needlessly, cultivating his personality as man of arrogance and pretentiousness. Even as a little kid, he just knew he was the best at everything.
The young Sanguine Son had everything at his disposal: money, mountains of toys and electronics, the finest threads... Anything he wanted, he got. But this was never enough for Atticus, for he desired the thrill of battle, the blood... the violence. In order to sate her son, his mother enrolled him in private lessons with one of the world's finest Krav Maga teachers. It wasn't long before Atticus outpaced the lessons and accidentally beat his mentor to a bloody pulp. In this moment, the son of Ares discovered his power of blood manipulation. His disturbing power instigated his mother to plead to the God of War for guidance on this matter. Their son was a firebrand and a blood-manipulating demon, and she could no longer control the boy.
Ares answered his concubine's call and came to take their son to the Olympus Academy, although under one condition: Atticus had to spar with his father. As expected of the ensuing battle, Ares won a flawless victory and broke nearly every bone in his son's body. The humiliating defeat he suffered at the hands of his father would be the driving force for Atticus when he enrolled in the Academy.
Thus far, the Sanguine Son has done more than what the teachers' expected of him. Being all brawn and nearly no brains, Atticus failed his first year due to poor performance on tests, but he excelled in all physical aspects. Currently, he is in his 7th year and has learned to hone his mind and body to make the perfect killing machine.
Extra: Stood back his first year due to poor test scores. Personal favorite god: Hermes, probably.
Godly Parent: Ares
Relationship With Godly Parent:
Atticus and Ares have a chaotic relationship for sure. Some days they're the best of friends who agree on everything; other days they're at each others' throats. It's a small wonder they haven't killed each other. Atticus views his father as a rival and seeks to overthrow Ares one day. Ares welcomes his son to try and awaits their final battle.
Godly Abilities:
Pride's Boon - Atticus is immune to mind affecting abilities due to his indomitable will. Only he controls his actions, no matter how foolish they may be.
Blood Feast - The Son of Strife possesses the ability to manipulate blood and solidify it. A drop of his own blood can conjure a terrifying weapon of his choice. However, if he is manipulating his own blood, he can overextend his powers and bleed out. As is expected of an 7th year, he is quite disciplined in the use of this ability.
Gorefiend - At the zenith of Atticus' rage, the Sanguine Son becomes a savage monstrosity, reminiscent of a bloody devil, that absorbs the life force of any he touches. Both his physical abilities are increased and he can manifest blood from the air around him. Very few who witness this form live to tell the tale.
"It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people." -Anthony Kiedis

Cute as a button, May stands at a very short 4'11", and she's quite thin at 88lbs. Despite many people thinking she has an eating disorder, this is far from the truth as her friends should know. She has medium length, dark brown hair that she styles differently each day. Like her hair, her eyes are a bold shade of brown. Body-wise, May has little to no curves and is as flat as a board. Fortunately, her redeeming features are entirely facial, considering she is quite pleasant to look at.
► Clothing Style ◄
Her day to day clothing generally consist of an eye popping t-shirt with khakis or jeans, accessorized with a different pair of ear rings each day. She tends to wear a minimal amount of make-up, but she's not afraid to deck herself out when she wants.
► Quirks/Oddities/Habits ◄
Tends to take a plethora of pictures wherever she goes.
Doesn't think before she speaks, which leads her to saying some rather offensive things.

♦ Proactive ♦ Naive ♦ Eccentric ♦ Rash
There's never a dull moment when May is around. She is an extremely vibrant and spontaneous woman who can't help but be herself. She's the type of person to break into song and dance at the drop of a dime, regardless of what's going on around her. However, she is an incredibly innocent and naive person. She trusts people way too easily and doesn't see every person as dangerous, which can lead to some some dangerous situations. This forces her friends to always be on the lookout for her, especially at parties where the wrong person could take advantage of her.
May is exceptionally active with her life, getting into all sorts of hobbies and clubs while somehow maintaining her grades and social life. She loves to plan things, especially parties. While she is quite great at planning events, there is rarely a second of thought that goes into her actions, and she just simply does what she wants in the moment. To make matters worse, she rarely understands why some people lash out at her.
► Background ◄
May (Cantonese name: Baak Ju Mei) was born in Hong Kong, China, the daughter to a burgeoning biotechnologist. Her father was researching ways to increase crop yields in China to help feed the entire population, which innately attracted Demeter's attention. While his intentions were quite pure, business in the Chinese markets ended up being a cut throat business. By 2008, when the Great Recession hit, he had lost it all. May had never really known a privileged lifestyle, but now they were destitute and homeless. Perhaps in an attempt to better his daughter financially, her father killed himself so she could collect life insurance on him. Slightly better off now but without a father, May had to use a good portion of the money to travel to America, where her uncle and aunt lived.
Once in the state of California, her name was Americanized to better fit in with the English-speaking population and she was enrolled in public schools. May, having learned some English while in China, was not totally disadvantaged but did struggle some in the American school systems. Quirky and rather strange, she didn't quite fit in with everybody, but fortunately she did not spend a significant time in public schools before she was able to attend Olympus Academy.
Now in her second year, May looks forward to meeting all of the new people and taking lots of pictures!
► Extra ◄
May is the worst player at every video game. She almost always loses, and those that lose to her should be ashamed. Also, she's a virgin and a hopeless romantic, waiting on the right man, which she has told her friends multiple times.
► Godly Parent ◄
Demeter
► Relationship With Godly Parent ◄
Demeter and May are not on great terms, mostly due to Demeter's inability to understand her daughter's quirkiness. The goddess tends to try and take control of May's life, which inevitable causes her to distance herself from her mother.
► Godly Abilities ◄
Aspects: From her mother, May has inherited two aspects that represent Demeter's duality of life and death; the flourishing earth and the devouring earth.
Blessed Bounty - As mother earth, Demeter has restorative powers and can bring forth new life. Manifesting this power, May can regenerate that which has been destroyed, except human life. While she can not resurrect the dead, she can heal wounds over time. In this form, pleasant weather and growing crops tend to follow her. Those around her seem to be invigorated by the radiance glowing from her.
Grim Harvest - Demeter's sorrow and rage flows through her daughter. In this aspect, May conjures a black scythe to reap vengeance on those that dare to hurt her. The scythe is frigid and eats away at all organic matter it touches. Bitter cold stirs about her form, bringing snowfall, plants begin to wither and die in her presence, and those near her begin to experience fear and terror.
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth. -William W. Purkey
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.

Reading, mostly Edgar Allen Poe
Music, anything played is good enough for her

Being excluded
Running out of things to do
Being around people she doesn't know
Letting strangers into her bubble for team building purposes
Fears:
Falling while in flight
Losing connection with her father
Letting someone dangerous into her personal space
People finding out about her less than perfect past
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.
