Bourgeoisie — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Laurence Evans
Age: 17
Parents:
Mother - Ares
Mother - Julianne "Julie" Evans

Personality:

Laurence is unusual for a child of Ares. While most would think a child of Ares to be cruel, short tempered, and violent; Laurence himself seemingly defies those views. His entire being is about control. He restrains his naturally violence and cruel tendencies, often coming off as cold and indifferent rather than burning and vengeful. Though he fights with the same strength and ferocity as his siblings, he is calm and level headed in the middle of battle. He often conflicts with his half siblings, with them telling him to get his stick out of his ass, and him telling them to stop promulgating stereotypes. 

Stemming from his tight emotional control, Laurence is also some what emotionally constipated. He has few friends among the camp, mostly due to him distancing himself from most of the other campers. He often is seen, when not beating the shit out of something in the arena, talking with the satyr who brought him to the camp. He also dislikes it when people try to pry into his life. He plays his cards close to his chest, and any attempts to force him to reveal them is met with a scowl and a glare so fierce that his eyes appear catch fire. This is followed by a feeling of rising temperatures, before he closes his eyes and calms himself. This extends also to anyone who tries to pry into other peoples' lives, and notably despises gossip.

The way Laurence releases his pent up aggression and emotions is through physical activity, so he is often seen performing exhaustive exercises the entire day. It also lends him the image of a battle junkie, since he spends so much time in the sparring arena. His style is a seeming whirlwind of metal and limbs, a hurricane in motion, always in motion. This is where his parentage shows through, whether he is skewering a dummy on his spear, whirling around to break the neck of another with his heavy shield, or throwing a fellow demigod on the wrestling mat.

History:

Staff Sergerant Julianne "Julie" Evans, callsign MACHO (Man in A CHick's bOdy), caught the attention of Ares after being shot down during a mission. Her tenacity and toughness drew the god of war to the women. After she was rescued, Ares seduced the married women. Nine months, a divorce, and a discharge later, Laurence was born. The first time he proved he was his father's son was at his birth, when his powers caused a fist fight to happen in the room between the doctor and a nurse. These bouts of violence only increased in frequency and, well, violence. In turn, Laurence reined in his emotions to control his powers to make sure no one else would get hurt. This lead him to be expelled from many schools, as well as him and his mother being kicked out of many homes for irritating the owners and drawing violence. Even when firmly in control, his power still seeps through effecting those around him, save for his mother who is the only mortal he knows who is unaffected by it.

The first time Laurence can remember of ever being different was when in his first grade year, when he instigated a brawl in the lunchroom when another child had started bullying him for his ADHD and dyslexia. He started crying, and the bully in turn punched him in the face. The issue was further aggravated when the adults were also affected by the power and joined the brawl. The event was suppressed, but that was the first time Laurence can remember him ever using any of his powers.

He came to Camp Halfblood when his was 10, after being sent their under the guise of community service by his anger management counselor, a satyr.  He made a name for himself as a child of Ares that didn't act like one. His half-siblings really didn't know what to make of him, and so treated him how they treated everyone; roughly. He rose among his siblings, distinguishing himself for his levelheadedness and his combat ability. He doesn't attend full time, coming back every summer and winter break, but he acts as a set of eyes and ears for the camp during the school year.

Specialties/Talents:

- Extensive Combat Ability: As a child of Ares, he is naturally skilled in all manners of combat. He has a natural inclination and instinct to fighting, mastering skills and styles in record time. He personally leans towards a spear and shield, but is just as capable in swordsmanship and martial arts. This also extends to him being able to analyze and dissect his opponent's fighting style, finding weaknesses and allowing him to map out his moves many steps ahead.

- Telumkinesis: Laurence has the ability to manipulate weapons. Clarisse had the ability to turn arrows to rubber for instance. Laurence's are a little bit more subtle, like adding a little too much stress to a bow string to cause it to snap, dulling the edge of a sword enough to allow him to safely grab it and wrench it from his enemies hands, or even causing jams in firearms that prevent their usage.

- Odikinesis: The ability to  manipulate feelings and emotions of war (i.e. Hate, Rage, Spite). Though most children of Are have this ability to a slight degree, Laurence's ability is such to a degree to incite violent riots from even the most minimal of resentment. His powers do nothing if there are no negative feelings, but will aggravate stress, annoyance and other minor feelings into full blown rage if left unchecked.

-Meditation and emotional control techiniques- A means to rein in his powers, Laurence is quite familiar with ways to control his emotions, often being sent to emotional counseling due to them.
