~Personal Information~
Personality: Peter is arrogant, there is no two ways about it. However he tries to make sure his arrogance doesn't cripple him socially. He doesn't do so the excess when he knows he is really starting to get on someone's nerves. At the same time he won't ever be ever vulnerable. He hates it and it comes down to his confidence. You want a singing competition? Sure. You want to go running? Sure. You want to talk about your feelings? Peter won't be talking back. It's just not in his nature to open up and whilst some people find that okay, it means he makes 'close' friends very slowly, if at all.
You will also never see Peter floundering, his arrogance can translate into confidence too and even in the most terrifying situations he tries to be as light hearted as possible. He is not fun loving though, he simply tries to be positive and brave, as he feels naturally that anything otherwise is weakness. Peter is easy at making acquaintances and not afraid to fail and me glamorous in defeat, but he hates sore winners and has always despised people who dig incessantly at him. Telling him, unless he opens up, he is not a good person.
Biography: Peter is a mutt in his blood. His family were Dutch born Jews who fled to the UK during the Nazi occupation. However whilst in the UK Peter's grandmother fell in love with an American pilot stationed there and moved back to the US with him after VE-day. In the US the Hasselbaink's were the upper working class. Enough money to live but not enough to supply every want. Peter was born to a nurse, Claudia Hasselbaink, it was only right the God of health fall in love with a woman who epitomized selfless dedication to the wellness of others. The child seemed straight away, in his mother's eyes, to be the child of Apollo, Peter always remembers the days his mother would brush his hair and tell him "Your father had hair just like you." However Claudia never told Peter who his father really was. "He was an athlete, a doctor, a great dancer." These were all things his father was. Never a name or a place. Just adjectives.
Peter struggled at school, he could never sit still, loved to learn but struggled with the fine prints. He was told he had ADHD and dyslexia. Yet he always found solace in the arts. He always had the lead rolls, his band always played for events. He even did a half decent comedy gig once, though he decided that wasn't his forte as the others were. Whilst at school he regularly went on the retreats, regularly did the camps. He was popular but never actually 'fit in'. When at concerts he loved the music, but more so than anyone else, when watching drama he wanted to talk about the quality of it. His 'friends' wanted to laugh at the chubby man talking loudly and the lady who looked fit. He was always unsettled, especially when he seemed to notice things others didn't. He mentioned it to his mother who merely put it down to "That's your father in you." But never explained what that meant.
On his 16th birthday Peter was out with his mother for the usual Italian dinner when the chef assaulted him. Attacked him just in the restaurant. And it was the scariest moment of his life, yet his mother did not panic. She saved him, s a mother should, but in doing so revealed the world behind the mist to Peter. From then on he was filled with questions and not much else. But before anything could be answered his mother bundled him off to a new camp. One he had never heard of before. One with a strange name.
~Demigod Information~
Demigod Abilities: Peter is his father’s son. Made famous in his traits by renaissance romanticists, Peter epitomises the kouros –a beardless athletic youth- in his appearance. Alongside this he shares in his father’s patronage of the arts and an interest in physical pursuits and health. Of course this is only when positive. In anger and spite he also knows that when one’s body fails them, it leaves them entirely incapable.
Salutemkinisis - Much like his father, Peter has the uncanny ability to manipulate health and wellbeing. Be it acting as a medic, studying and manipulating the body to fight disease and set broken bones. However in the reverse of this he is more than capable of creating great plague and illness, though he is fairly new to his powers and so they can act up when he least expects them too. He has always been told to never abuse his powers but sometimes it was fun noticing every time he wanted a week off school, the teachers all happened to come down with a severe flu.
Affinity for the Bow - Since Peter was little he has always been sent off to camp, and at camp they did the whole outdoorsman thing. Whittling, hiking and putting up tents was all part of it. As was archery. Peter has always been a skilled archer, when he first learnt the bow he was quick to pick it up. Local competitions passed and he carried on improving, well beyond the expectation of any of his instructors.
Affinity for the Arts – Peter has always loved the arts; drama, music, singing. And he has always had a skill in them, his hands are deft and he loves the melodies and the beauty in art. He studied them all and they all came easy to him.

@Grim327,@Classpet,@smarty0114,@Nallore,@SouffleGirl123,@NightOwl; once again, I'm really sorry that it took so long to get this post up- like you guys, I don't wish for this roleplay to die either. The quest post is up everyone; feel free to post up reactions. :D
Also, Grim; if it's okay with you, I might have Syleste approach and talk to Gabe for a bit o:
@gowia; looking over your child of Apollo now, and will get back to you very soon o:
@gowia; I love him honey, the only thing that needs to be changed is a minor detail and that would be about his half-brother Will Solace. This rp, while it does involve cannon characters, they are now all older and no longer campers... the exception to this being Thalia Grace as she's a huntress... Will Solace, while he can be brought in and out of the roleplay like the others will be, is no longer a camper, and as such it means that your character will be the counselor of the Apollo cabin.
Aside from that little detail, he has been accepted and I will put him across into the Character section with the others..! Welcome to the camp honey, feel free to jump in whenever you can..!
@Vicier Ugh friendships where one is super protective of the other give me a reason to live. Jess will definitely do it all the time now, just so I can see Ky'vie flip her shit XD

~Personal Information~
Personality: On appearance Vanessa can seem gloomy and downright pessimistic. However Vanessa isn't (usually) as gloomy as she seems. She isn't one to smile or laugh often, that's usually something that she only does when she is with her friends alone. She usually like to keep to herself or to a small group of people shes close with. She considers herself a level-head realist but her mind does often wander, sometimes from the likes of daydreaming, sometimes she just gets pushed into deep thought.
Vanessa was never surrounded by a large group of friends, probably never will be. When she was in school she was often that kid everyone would actively avoid for no good reason but at camp she has her father's reputation to thank for it, her cabin's councilor, Erin's, attitude to the general group of campers isn't any help either. Vanessa has a big heart and is willing to share it with anyone who bothers to pay her some attention. She is very loyal and cares for her friends deeply, however, in her darkest moments she will push them away. As caring as she is she believes that one should take consequences for their actions and finds it hard to forgive those who mentally or physically hurt her, her family or her friends.
Vanessa is most definitely an introvert and isn't a fan of big parties, or even such gatherings (however she quite enjoys the campfire nights). She's quite intelligent and is great with strategy, given not as much as a child of Athena but she was always an A/B student when she was in school. She usually doesn't judge quickly, or tries not to at least. She the type of person who listens to both sides of the argument and silently analyses it before coming to a personal conclusion, however, she will be quick to stand up for her loved ones. She is generally mature and responsible but when she is alone with her friends she lets loose a bit, becomes more smiley and slightly crazy even if she's close enough to them.
Skills: As far as skills go Vanessa hasn't shown any 'mortal' skill out of the ordinary, she works for what she's got. She has a rich knowledge in history and she is intelligent, but not as much so as the Athenian kids. She is great with strategy (particularly war strategy) but not as much so as a kid from Athena or Ares. She has a few musical skills up her sleeve but not to the potential of an Apollo kid. Needless to say Vanessa has skills but each are easily outshone from the children of another god
Biography: Jane had been widowed almost 2 years when she met Hades that Spring. She had taken her sons Jacob and William (whom were 3 and 4 at the time) to a local cafe for lunch. Hades happened to be seated at the table next to them and William and Jacob (at their wide-eyed naive ages) decided they wanted to talk to the 'sad man' and made attempts to be his friend until their mother intercepted. The 2 got to chatting and meet up a couple of times before falling in love, well at least Jane did.
A few days before spring ended Hades revealed his identity to her and told her that he could not see her again, neither aware Jane fallen pregnant that night.
Nine month later Jane gave a long, painful birth to Vanessa. The family of four were well off enough. Even though all 3 kids always knew Vanessa 'didn't have a dad' they never took that into much thought. Growing up William and Jacob were very protective of their younger sister, of course they often teased and tormented each other as siblings do but if anyone else did so to her they'd have older boys to answer to.
Vanessa's family lived off Jane's deceased husband's earnings (as he was a doctor when he was alive) and always had what they needed. True, they didn't have a luxurious life but they had an education, full stomachs, a roof over their heads and a bit extra for special occasions. However money was getting tighter and tighter by the year and the family couldn't live off of a deceased man's earnings forever. It was evident Jane would have to return to her job as a nurse eventually but there wasn't anyone to look after the kids and at their young age she didn't want them home alone in the evening, that was when she met Michael.
Vanessa was 5 when Jane met Micheal and truthfully she quite liked the man. The two of them married 2 years on and Vanessa always saw Micheal as her father figure and often referred to him as her father other than her stepdad despite keeping her mother's maiden name.
When Vanessa was inching toward her tenth year her mother gave birth to yet another girl, Selina. Selina was never Vanessa's half-sister. Despite technicalities Selina was never to be referred to as Vanessa's half sister when she was around or she'd be quick to correct them.
Vanessa's mother passed when she was 11. A storm had hit and the rain pounded the roof of every house, every building and covered every road. Jane was on her way home from her job when the storm hit suddenly, the rain limiting the view of every driver so neither her or the man driving the truck noticed each other until it was too late. Despite the pleas of Jane in her will Micheal decided he couldn't, and didn't want to, care for all the children left to him despite his own by blood and sent the other three kids to a local foster care home as Jane had lost contact with her family years ago. Leaving Vanessa to feel betrayed by the man who had been her father in her eyes for the last few years. Ridden with guilt Micheal would often attempt to send money and presents to the kids but they were always returned, they didn't want anything to do with him.
When she was almost 12 she first summoned zombie-like figure from the underworld. It was an accident, obviously, but of course, how are you meant to explain that to the other tweens and teens who you shared a house with? So entitling her a freak they avoided any contact with her if possible but Vanessa didn't care, this opened a new possibility for her, maybe she could see her mother, at least long enough to say goodbye. As much as she tried, however, it never worked. What Vanessa didn't know was the random deaths and brutal killings in the area weren't coincidence, although she could not summon a 'zombie' for an overly long period of time with each spirit another monster was detecting her and, when she was 14 she was quickly taken to camp half-blood by a satyr, who has lived in the foster care for a couple of months, alongside a small group of harder-to-detect demigods who had been in the area trying to kill off the beasts in the city. Despite a visit to Olympus, Vanessa had never left camp half-blood since.
~Demigod Information~
Demigod Abilities:
Summoning Corpses: Particularly near their burial site Vanessa can summon the corpse of a deceased in a zombielike state. On occasions she can summon them from a distance but it takes a lot of power and energy out of her. At the moment she can only summon or occasionally, 2 at a time.
~Weaponry Information~
Weapon/s: Gifted to Vanessa by Chiron λήθη was rewarded to a loyal soldier and follower of Hades. Many battles have been won and much blood spilled with that sword and upon the soldier's death it was donated to camp half-blood. Vanessa, however, tries to limit weaponry use as much as possible so nowadays it doesn't really get the usage it deserves Weapon/s Name: λήθη- Oblivion (Not to be confused with Λήθη, meaning lethe- forgetfulness) Weapon/s Type: Stygian Iron sword Attributes: ?.
