@smarty0114 just seems like it'd benefit everyone, and help out little. By the way I'll be sending you a PM soon pertaining to the Quest details Eli was on. I'm thinking of his Memory loss being the work of another Goddess. Not sure if it was Hecate or Hera who took one of the demigods memory in the book series but I'll do some more research and let you know.
By the way, I'm hoping nobody tries to hang me for my mom playing a part in Aphrodite's DOVE. I swear to you I have no knowledge lol. I think it has something to do with Ares and Eris relationship. Many times they've been referred to as companions or siblings. I'm not sure what Vicier's motive is though.
@NightOwl, @smarty0114; if that's what you guys wanna do, it sounds good to me. It might make it easier, especially with the character list growing :'3
Also, Night, I forgot to mention that I'm fine with Erin having been on that quest with Eli.
@smarty0114; I am so, so sorry that I took so long to get back to you honey. I really like Jess a lot, and I have no issues with her; she has indeed been accepted. I'll pop her across into the character section, feel free to post up an entrance for her :D
@Vicier My second character to be checked over :) I'll do relationships with all the campers for Vanessa and Jayanti over the weekend

~Personal Information~
Personality: Fun, quirky and confident Jayanti, to most people, is fun to be around. She embraces awkward silences like they're her best friend and is often found joking around. She tries to get along with everyone and has dedicated herself to spread joy through everyone she meets. With a bucketload of confidence Jayanti is not afraid to do some of the most random things absolutely anywhere. Jayanti is carefree and very much an optimist. She believes that almost any problem or problematic situation has some hope in working out and the rest are something to not dwell upon.
Jayanti can be very clumsy and embraces her clumsiness with open arms. She often pokes fun at her own insecurities, she found it was very effective with being teased less in her younger days (because if you find it funny it's going to be hard for others to get you down about it) but she also uses it as a way to cheer up the people around her.
Jayanti is a bit of a slob. Laziness is something that hits her for a small chunk of time before she gets back to being moderately active. Her room, however, is most probably the disgrace of cabin seventeen. She's respectable to keep her junk out of the shared spaces but her room is usually atrocious. Odd smell coming from one of the room's down the hallway? Probably Jayanti's room. Haven't recieved last week's washing? Probably in Jayanti's room. That mug she drank out of a month ago? Yeah, that's still on the window sill. For some cabin inspections she cleans it quickly but half of it is usually stuffed in the wardrobe or such. She calls it creativity, everyone else calls it messy, not that she minds, the time could be spent in better ways. Jayanti loves food and often jokes food is her life. The 3 things she'll claim to need in her life is food, sleep and happiness. When she's not doing her duties as cabin leader or the camp's activities she probably is eating, socializing or lazing about, possibly sleeping.
Jayanti is known to be childish but she can actually be rather mature and responsible when she feels she needs to be, she just doesn't see many opportunities that call for it, situation doesn't call for maturity in her eyes as quickly as most people would think it would. Commitment scares Jayanti slightly, she's terrible when it comes to commitment particularly in a relationship and has failed to date someone for over seven months. Though her joyfulness and childishness Jayanti can get annoying to some campers more often that others and has a tendency to walk herself into everyday dangers and threats.
Skills: She has quite the knack for cheering up other people and spreading joy like a disease. She claims to be skilled at eating too, she can devour twice as much as any girl her age and have room for dessert even if she doesn't look it. She's actually quite skilled in the art of baking too.
Biography: Jayanti was raised in Delhi with her father and, for most her life, her stepmother. Jayanti always knew who her mother was growing up and never really held and ill-will toward her. Jayanti was only 3 when her father married Riya, a childhood friend of his, leading to the woman becoming a big part of Jayanti's life. Although she never got the title Riya was always the mother figure in her life.
Growing up Jayanti's Dyslexia and ADHD that comes with being a demigod made school harder and more effort was needed on her part over the other kids. This got on her father's nerves slightly. Don't get me wrong, he was a great father, but he wanted his daughter to do well in everything she did so when most other student's grades were leaps and bounds ahead of hers he wasn't the most pleased father in the world. No matter what they tried, although it helped, it never really got her far enough to match other student's grades in the academic subjects. As she was so behind so many students she was often teased about her low grades and had few friends, that was until she learnt by poking fun at herself not only would the bullying become less dramatically but she would get more friends. By the end of that year she wasn't bullied so much but was the go-to student when you were blue. Some people wouldn't like such attention so quickly especially if it came from teasing themselves by Jayanti loved it and still does today.
It was when her 14th year was dawning upon her the Cyclops came. It was the quick thinking of Riya who, upon seeing the abnormally tall man with one eye, getting too close to Jayanti threw a stick at the Cyclops and dragged Jayanti inside before admitting she was one of the rare humans who could see through the mist, unknowing to them that Riya's gift was Iris' doing.
Only 5 days the small family got an 'anonymous' letter telling them about camp half-blood and that a satyr was set up to meet Jayanti in one week in New York. The family packed up and left on a 'holiday' to America. As Jayanti grew up learning both of Delhi's official primary languages (Hindu and English) there was and has not been a language barrier. She celebrated her 15th on the day she departed with the satyr and left her father and stepmother.
Since then Riya and Akash recieved their visa and moved to New York to be closer to Jayanti. Although Jayanti's primary place of residence is camp half-blood she owns an small apartment in New York her father insisted on getting her and will leave camp half-blood for a night or 2 every now and again, usually when only the year round campers are at camp. She hasn't been to Olympus but, instead, spends that time in New York with her family.
~Demigod Information~
Demigod Abilities: She can summon rainbows and multi-coloured blasts of energy. The second can tire her quickly, then again that might be with help of Jayanti's laziness and love of sleep kicking in.
~Weaponry Information~

Also one thing about your post, which is his thoughts on the ugly mug comment? He is aware that Erin (Daughter of Hades/ Vicier's character) was the one to mention a ugly mug right? Eli simply responded. Reading your post just confused me a little bit, no biggie!
@NightOwl Yeah I thought Eli was talking about himself but it's kinda hard to be 100% clear who you're talking about while using the word "him" I fixed my post up a little hopefully making it more clear.
BTW I actually looked into Greek mythology surrounding memory myself and there's a river in the underworld that completely wipes peoples memories (so they can reincarnate) It's something with an "L" I think (sorry my memories super bad)
@Classpet OOOOOHHH I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!! It's the River Lethe I believe. Okay. Daily nerdfest is done. You may continue with your regularly scheduled programming.
@Classpet I know of it, I have to do some more reading on it though. Do you think it'd be plausible for young demigods to have quest to the underworld? I'm aware Percy did it but he was a prophesied child of 3.
I'm still building the story on his quest, don't want to leave any plot holes or unanswered questions. Going to the underworld would have been a definite reason for @smarty0114's character to tag along. A genius mind to decipher the maze of Tartarus.... I like it!!
@NightOwl And that would be an even better reason to have Erin along. Seeing as how she's a Daughter of Hades. Maybe Eli got captured or something and he was forced to drink the water from the River Lethe. Then dropped back in Charlie and Erin's laps so that they have no idea what happened. Idk if you wanna go the River Lethe route but that might make sense.
@NightOwl You'd probably want to talk to vicier about a quest to the underworld, its been a little while since I last read the books(and I only got through the first three before school got in the way) Smartys idea was really neat if you do go the underworld route. Also Matt could probably help out Eli with his memory dealio
