⚡ Courageous ⚡ Loyal ⚡ Passionate ⚡ Smart ⚡ Driven ⚡ Protective ⚡ Adventurous ⚡ Leader
⚡ Incredibly Strong-Willed ⚡ Creative Those who don't know Zeru may see him as a meathead who loved to fight potentially more than the children of Ares. But those who do know him know that he's a lot deeper than he appears around camp. He has the body of a warrior, but the heart of an artist. He's kind, caring, and is willing to do anything for the people he cares about. He can also be protective, and sometimes overly so, feeling as if it's his responsibility and in a way it is. He's a natural born leader and knows how to make the best out of people's strengths and weaknesses.
When he's not training you'll likely find him in his cabin either reading, writing, or something else to occupy his time and mind. He feels that it should be just as sharp as his weapon and as strong as his body. He also enjoys being out in nature and feels inspired by it sometimes.
Even though he has no issue attracting people he's often oblivious to the signs that someone has feelings for him. He has dated around a bit over the years, but he's not a player. If he were to, for example, date a certain daughter of Apollo he'd be completely faithful to her. ____________________________________________________________________________ B I O G R A P H Y
Zeru's story begins like many others. With two people falling in love. Except by a little twist of fate, one of these people happened to be a god. His mother was a pilot in Atlanta working for both Delta and a private airline. It was for the latter that she met him. His presence was elegant and commanding. He enthralled every room he stepped in and when their eyes met it was love at first sight. He approached her and struck a conversation and the rest was history. The two dated for a while, seeing each other whenever their busy schedules allowed them to. Then she discovered she was pregnant. They weren't married, but she was happy. She had known for a while that he wasn't a normal man. He trusted her with the truth and she surprisingly believed him.
She considered Zeru her strong little blessing from the sky, hence the names Zeru and Troy, the city that stood strong for ten years. When he was born Zeus spent much less time around them. He had to for multiple reasons that Zeru would later grow up to understand. At the time the Big 3 were still forbidden from having children, but they all seemed to forsake that decision multiple times. Zeru excelled in the regular world as a child. He may have been a bit too hyperactive and had a short attention span, but he never seemed to suffer from the dyslexia that afflicted most demigods. Instead he was able to both read and write at a more advanced level.
His mom was gone a lot for work and because of this he started to become more independent early on. He of course had baby sitters, but they were more of a formality than anything. Life was great, but he always felt like he was missing something. It was as if his heart was yearning for something that he couldn't get while at home. Then one day when he was 11 something strange happened. School was almost out for the summer and he was walking home when he was approached by two stray dogs that were oddly close together. He didn't think much of it and reached out to pet them. The two opened their mouths and were about to devour his hand when he was tackled out of the way by a goat man? He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Instead his vision was clearer than ever. Those two dogs? Just one big one with two heads. That goat man? Still a goat man and our young Zeru was understandably freaking out. The satyr noticed this and pulled out a reed pipe and played a few notes on it. Zeru instantly found himself calming down and truly taking in everything around him.
Once he was calm he started to think. He had met his father a few times, but never as the all-powerful Zeus. He did however tell him that he was Greek and in an effort to feel more connected to him he did some studying at his school library about Greece and learned about their mythology. From what he knew the goat man was a Satyr and this two headed dog wasn't Cerberus, but something else. Then it hit him. It was from a story of one of his favorite demigods, Heracles and his trials. He was able to kill it, but here it was again. This time it wasn't facing a man with the strength of ten.
The Satyr played another song on his pipe and the flowers around the giant dog started to grow before entangling around it. The dog struggled against the strengthened flowers, but it wasn't going to hold for long and they did the only thing they could do. They ran. They traveled from Atlanta all the way to New York, but wherever they went that dog was still close on their trail. During the journey he found out more about who he was and his heritage and that this is practically a normal occurrence for those like him. That was another thing. There were a lot of others like him.
They were coming up on Half-Blood Hill and it seemed like they were going to make it when their friend finally caught up to them. They knew at this point that in a chase they were going to be caught before they could even move. So instead they decided to face it head on. The satyr told Zeru to stand behind him and pulled a wooden club from his side. It looked heavy, but he was surprisingly holding it well. He charged at the two headed beast, leapt into the air preparing to club it to death, but instead he was swiped to the side and against the tree as if he were nothing more than a fly. Zeru ran towards his new friend and noticed the gashing wound in his stomach. He wasn't going to make it and Zeru felt useless and responsible for this. He looked to the distance he still had before making it to the safe zone and knew that he wasn't going to make it. He felt frustrated. He felt sad. He felt angry and he felt tired. He reached for the club that rested at his friend's side and picked it up. He could tell that it was heavy, but to him it felt like he was holding a simple bat. He turned to the beast and his eyes turned a deep blue. Electricity cackled around him and surged around the normally non-conductive club. "Hey, doggie. Fetch." He dashed forward, launched into the air and prepared to crush both heads under his might.
When he awoke he found himself in some infirmary being attended to and fed the most pleasant tasting thing he had the pleasure of tasting. It also had the added benefit of healing him. He couldn't remember anything that happened beyond the Satyr dying in front of him. The pain from that memory lingered and drove him to never want to be weak again. From this day forward he would be the protector, not the protected. ____________________________________________________________________________ D E M I G O D I N F O
C A B I NCabin One - Zeus, King of the Gods Y E A R S AT C A M PSeven F A T A L F L A WHis quite literal fatal flaw is that he'd lay his life on the line to protect the people he cares about. F O R MWhen angered, usually on behalf of injuries or worse to his friends, an reddish orange field of electricity surrounds his body. It's almost as if the sun itself was fueling him and his anger. This state does leave him significantly drained afterwards. W E A K N E S SZeru's weakness is that he sometimes feels like he has the weight of the sky on his shoulder. That it's his duty to lead his friends and family and protect them.
He also has the aforementioned weakness of his form. R E S P O N S A B I L I T I E SCabin Councilor Training Instructor W E A P O N SZeru possesses an Adamantine Sword named SkySlicer. When it's not used it appears as a normal pendant on his Camp Half-Blood necklace. He presses it and it pops down into his hand. He was gifted this by Zeus and when using it the blade glows blue. The blade has an ability that allows Zeru to imbue it with electricity or air.
He also possesses a typical Greek bow. There's nothing special about it whatsoever. A B I L I T I E SElectrokinesis: When it comes to lightning and electricity Zeru happens to be a prodigy. The ability comes as natural to him as just about any exercise. His older half-brother Jason sought him out one year and helped him develop this ability the most out of the others. Through his training and years of experience he's able to summon powerful bolts of lightning from the sky, generate electricity from his body, and even enhance his own speed. He also seems to be completely immune to electricity, but he hasn't truly tested his limits. Atmokinesis: Admittedly not his strongest ability Zeru is able to manipulate the weather. He can make it rain, snow or any form of precipitation in a small area or generate a semi-powerful storm. This ability also gives him control over storm venti. Aerokinesis: Zeru can control, manipulate, and generate air at different levels of pressure, intensity, and force. He can use this ability to send powerful blasts of air, fly, or solidify and create different shapes. Lordship over the Skies: As the son of Zeus, Zeru has divine authority over all birds whether or not they can fly. He can also communicate with them both verbally and telepathically. They all seem to trust and have respect for him. Zeru feels rejuvenated and stronger whenever he's above ground. Even moreso the closer he is to the sun. This is due to him being in the domains of his father and his Helios legacy. Lie Detection: Due to Zeus being the god of oaths(ironic, I know) and Helios being the oathkeeper Zeru has developed the ability to detect when people are lying. At first he couldn't turn it off, but over time gained control enough to where he only activates it when he wants to. But regardless of whether it's on or not he's grown quite well at reading people and their different tells to give away their dishonesty. Let's just say he can't wait until he can legally gamble. Heat and Fire Resistance: Although he's not completely immune from the effects of heat and fire due to his Helios legacy he's able to withstand higher temperatures and most levels of flames. Enhanced Physiology: Demigods are already naturally stronger than normal humans their age and the children of the Big 3 are normally even stronger than that. But the children of Zeus? Strength is in their blood. This is no different with Zeru. He wouldn't put himself on the same level as Heracles, but moreso around his older brother Jason's level when he was his age and it's believed that his strength is still growing. This goes the same for his durability, agility, and reflexes as well. But on top of that his Helios legacy blessed his sight, voice/words, and his hands creating a balance between the pen and the sword. ____________________________________________________________________________ O T H E R
- Although he doesn't try to be showy with his talents Zeru has a poetic soul and hides a journal of his poetry in the Zeus Cabin. He also can sing, play the piano, saxophone, and electric guitar. The latter he only picked up because of the word electric.
- He also keeps a stash of grass hidden in a different spot than his journal.
- Zeru has a pretty big crush on Aphrodite.
