[King Kindred]

Name(First and Last): Dorian Underwood

Age: 16

Gender: Male

# Of Years You've Attended CHB: 3

Godly Parent: Thanatos

Which Side You're On: Neutral

Appearance:

Dorian wears a glove only on his right hand. Most of the students don't know why he wears just one. Underneath the glove his hand is skeletal. On his left hand there's a tattoo of a butterfly. He didn't get it himself. It appeared on his hand on the night he got claimed at camp. He typically wears jeans and a graphic tee when at camp instead of the typical camp t-shirt. He also typically carries around his sword "Reaper" at his side. Its primary mode is a sword of Stygian Iron, but it can also switch to Celestial Bronze. He tends to switch between the two a lot in battle mostly preferring to use Celestial Bronze due to it bringing less pain and torment to the enemies.

Skills: Dorian is surprisingly really skilled with a blade. You'd think that he would be better with a scythe and he honestly probably is, but chose not to use it since he didn't want to add to the death vibe that people at camp tended to get from him. Despite his more reclusive nature he's also skilled when it comes to easing people with his words. In the moment before battle he could calm down his allies with his words so they could focus in battle. It could potentially be a power, but he doesn't consider it so.

Powers: Peaceful Passage/Death Decay: His bone hand gives him two different abilities. He has since gained control over them, but still prefers to hide his hand with a leather glove. The first ability that his hand gives him is the power to ease the passage of someone dying. To do so he has to touch them with his bone hand and say a prayer. He only uses this if they're in intense pain from whatever it is that caused their death or is causing their death. The pain "removes" itself from their body, but the wounds stay.

The second ability his hand gives him is the power to cause decay on anything or anyone that he touches with it. Of course now that he has control of it he can touch anyone he wants with his hand without causing them to decay. The decay starts where he touches them and doesn't spread if his hand is removed from the body or object. The longer he has his hand on said object or person the more and faster they'd decay. It's dangerous to use in battle due to how fast paced fighting is.

Death Drive: This is another power that he was given from his godly father. This power seemed to be a counter of his skill with easing people with his words. This Death Drive is a literal representation of the psychological study by Sigmund Freud. He has an invisible aura that appears in the battle field that makes others around him more reckless and self-destructive in battle. For the first two years he had at camp he couldn't control it, but then he was able to focus the aura so that it only affects his enemies or none at all. He mostly uses this against monsters.

Underworld Passage: As a child of Death he's able to pass freely between the living world and the undead. He can't however bring anyone else with him.

Personality: Dorian is a bit of recluse. It's partially to his own doing, but also to the doing of others. Even though years have passed people were still wary about those being related to gods of the Underworld. He understood why and never held it against anyone. His dad was Death personified. This isn't to say that he's incapable of making friends. Some have even tried to be friends with him and he allowed them in, but not fully. He still holds secrets from others. He's really kind and does have a sense of humor though most of his jokes are death related. He can laugh at and make jokes that don't deal with death. He loves nature and nature seems to love him as well. He loves butterflies the most and he guesses it has something to do with his dad. They tend to rest on him a lot not fearing the presence of death around him. He finds himself wishing that he had wings just like his father so that he could fly away with them. He's more caring than anything and hates to see people in pain. He constantly wishes that he was a healer like one of the Apollo children, but he wasn't born so lucky. He's also pretty much just like an ordinary teenager. He deals with puberty, coming closer to adulthood, and crushes. Though who really wants to court Death?

History: The love story of Dorian's parents was a weird one, but it was still better than Twilight could ever been. His mother always seemed to have a fascination with death. She was weird like that. While at College she started interning at a morgue and after graduation she became a mortician. One day a man came in claiming to be a detective and was inspecting a body that had been found at a gruesome crime scene. As he looked over the body the two talked and talked for what seemed like hours. They had so much in common and it wasn't hard for her to fall for him. His schedule was weird, but he spent some good time with her. One night they finally had sex in the next week he told her that he was being transferred to Los Angeles.

She was sad and even wanted to go with him, but he convinced her not to telling her that her destiny was here in New York. What did he know about destiny? He was know Apollo. Nine months later Dorian popped out. His mother found joy in naming him after the guy who used a painting to cheat death. His life was seemingly normal for most of it. Monsters didn't seem to bother him as much as they bothered other demigod children. They may toy with a child of Hades, but who would want to mess with the first child of Death? No one knew what he might have been capable of.

Everything changed on his twelve birthday. His right hand became bony. He learned all too soon about his decay ability while playing on the playground. Fortunately he didn't learn about it by using it on a human child. He touched one of the chains on the swing and it started to rust and decay. He quickly ran home after that and told his mother. She was surprised about his abilities and urged him to hide it. She didn't know what people would think about him if they found out.

When the summer started he was brought to Camp Half-Blood by a satyr and started to understand more about himself and why he was so different from others. Things took a turn for the worse when he found out who his godly parent was. Most people stayed away from him and he became the outcast in a group of societal outcasts. He was the only child of Thanatos so he slept in his cabin alone. That changed when he learned about his ability to travel to the underworld. Whenever he went to sleep he'd slip into the Underworld to sleep among the dead. He found himself at peace down there.

One year later he met his father down there when he was about to go to sleep and instead of sleeping that night they talked and he even followed him on his soul picking errands. He told him why he was so special, but he wasn't buying it. Being the only child of someone didn't exactly make you more special than the other demigods. When the sun was about to come up he was given his sword "Reaper". He was more than glad that he wasn't given a scythe. If he did he might as well had put on a cloak and gained the rest of the skeletal look. From then on he continued to train with his powers and his sword to make something of himself. Not the uncontrollable child of death, but as Dorian Underwood.

Now he's heading to camp once again with a slightly better attitude.

@King Kindred

Love it! Throw it in the Character tab.

(sorry this is so sucky)

Name
Sierra & Marco St. Arch

Age
15 & 15

Gender
Female & Male

# Of Years You've Attended CHB
2 Because she is a Hunter & 3 Since he has always stayed at camp

Godly Parent
Apollo

Which Side You're On
Athena's side

Appearance

Skills
~Sierra~
Sierra is an amazing marksman. She can use almost any weapon, and like her father she has a great voice. She is also great at starting fires and doing lots of things concerning camping.

-Marco-
Marco is a great musician and an amazing singer, he knows how to utilize all things Apollo, but unlike his sibling he is quite bad at practical camping skills.

Powers
~Sierra~
Sierra can slightly enchant people with her voice, getting them to do things for her. She's also a Hunter of Artemis, and unless she breaks her vows she will be immortal unless she's killed in battle. She can also partially manipulate light.

-Marco-
Marco can enchant people with instruments, and his voice. Marco can also shoot a now very well, and heal people's minor wounds.

Personality
~Sierra~
Sierra is very bright and fun, she loves her Hunter family and while she did once love flirting, after she took her vows she stopped almost completely. She also enjoys music of course, and she loves her brothers and sisters in the Apollo cabin.

-Marco-
Marco is the more serious twin, and although he loves his family in the Apollo cabin he doesn't really joke around in tough times. After his sister left he stopped being as carefree as he had been.

History
Marco and Sierra were raised by their only mom, Charlene. After the two were born her mother never remarried because for some reason she always thought their dad would come back. Both of the children thought their mother was slightly losing her mind, but they never said anything. Instead they raised each other when their mom was too busy with work, and enjoyed the times she was able to hang out with her.

On the children's twelfth birthday, they realized they were 'special'. An undercover satyr had been hanging out around their school, trying to sniff out two children of Apollo who were causing a lot of trouble in the monster world. Marco and Sierra didn't know they were gaining monster's attention of course, but they were going to get harmed sooner or later. The Satyr took them to Camp Half-Blood after an invigorating meet and greet with an empousa disguising itself as a cheerleader in their middle school.

Sierra decided after her first year in camp, she would join the Hunters of Artemis, while her brother stuck around in camp and honed his craft as a son of Apollo. Sometimes the other Apollo children call them the 'followers' because of how much they followed in the footsteps in Artemis and Apollo, others call them the 'Wonder Twins'.

@CallaLily

Since the Hunters of Artemis usually don't stick around Camp Half Blood, I'll have it so that Artemis is busy in Olympus and has left her Hunters at CHB. But accepted nonetheless.

Okay, thanks

[Knight of Doom]

Announcement

I need a new Co-GM to be the leader of Zeus's side.

Also on that note, I need more characters to be on Zeus's side. So until I can find more characters willing to be on Zeus's side, I will postpone admitting characters on Athena's side. I would like this fight to be even. But I will admit neutral characters.

[Shadowcatcher]

Name: Blake Aven

Age: 17

Gender: Female

# Of Years You've Attended CHB: 3

Godly Parent: Ares

Which Side You're On: Zeus

Skills: Blake is often confused for a child of Hades, due her odd power, but has the typical attributes associated with a child of the War God. She has a quick mind, comfortable coming up with impromptu battle tactics as well as leading groups of people and executing plans well. Her eyes and ears are sharp, she has amazing strength that surprises most due her thin frame, and has great skill in using all kinds of weapons from battle axes, to spears, and swords. Her prowess in fighting has only grown over her time living at the camp. Her ability to work well with actual weapons helps during the day when she cannot use her powers, at night however she is a ruthless fighter and creates anything she can think of to help decimate her enemies. As a result, she prefers to fight at night.

Powers: Blake can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. She can create, using shadows, constructs and weapons at virtually any size depending on how familiar she is with the object. She has the ability to quickly maneuver herself through massive distances via shadows and produce blankets of darkness that even the strongest light cannot pass through.

Personality: "I bear no ill will against my comrads of a different house. At the end of it all, I see every member of the Camp as my brothers and sisters no matter what lineage they come from. And just like any elder sister would do, I will toughen them all up with a little bit of tough love... and make warriors out of them yet."

Blake is often described as wise beyond her years, often quoting members in history who won great things through the chaos of war. She is cunning but admits to her mistakes, rutheless and yet compassionate with others, she speaks and acts with the interests of all in her heart. A born leader, one might say. Within her reside two sides of a blade, the one that yearns for peace, and the one that craves the adrenaline during the heat of battle as if she were a walking contradiction. Blake has an obvious confidence and demanding personality that allows her to easily slip into the role of leader. There beneath her battle hardened exterior is a heart that feels for everyone who are in different or similar situations as her. Often times people feel comfortable enough around her to express their feelings. That is, until they get a whack on the head and a lesson in how all things happen for a reason.

History: Blake never knew her blood mother growing up, only the elderly couple that took her in at the young age of six. She never asked where her real parents were, though over time she learned that the pair who she lived with obviously didn't birth her. The pictures of other children who were all grown up led to her realization to that. She attended school when she was younger, but for a while, never spoke a word until about the age of ten. Blake loved to watch old plays and movies that replayed historic events in history, often mocking the characters until she adopted her way of talking as how they once did in the times of Shakespeare. Less dramatic of course, but obviously so. While in school she was picked on for being abnormally short and having trouble reading. Even at a young age, however, Blake took shit from no one, and would often get into fights when she was picked on or saw others being targeted.

Eventually school was given up and she was taught how to read basic literature by her adopted parents. The did their best but her progress was slow as she learned better through seeing pictures rather than words. She learned to write and do mathematics at the level she was supposed to, always spent hours trying to unscramble the words in history books because it fascinated her... and for a time, her life was acceptable.

Though there was something within her that yearned for more.

When she learned of her powers and came to the Camp at age fourteen, she became obsessed with learning how to perfect her powers and hone her skills. She practiced navigation and map reading constantly, studied elevation and weather patterns, learned how to take all of it in and form the perfect battle strategy that could be changed and adapted to fit different situations. At night, she found the darkness gave her limitless energy, and that she could train and spar and train some more all night without exaustion until daybreak. She became proud with herself and her abilties, and then turned to the others, helping those in different houses as best she could so they could perform well in battle. She began to see life just as that. A long battle, and those around her were her allies.

Until the Gods decided to have a petty fight and ruin things for them down there too.

[CallaLily]

I could always make another character...

@Knight of Doom

I volunteer, as i plan to have my character be the type to lead others naturally.

[CallaLily]

@Knight of Doom

Who is going to be the Leader of Apollo's cabin?

[King Kindred]

I can make another character as well, but I'll work on it tomorrow. It'll either be a child of Ares or a rebellious child of Poseidon who to go against his father joins the Zeus side of the conflict.

[Knight of Doom]

@Shadowcatcher

From what I've read of your character, I'd have to agree. Blake can be the leader of Zeus's side. However, there will be some PMing and collaborations. If you're okay with that then you can by my Co-GM.
