After his mother put him into much-needed therapy, he was finally able to be himself fully. Now, Elias settles for nothing less than the best. He turned his bursts of anger and fiery tempter into what fuels him to push forward. He is passionate at the very end, putting all of his efforts into anything he sets his heart to. It's difficult for Elias to give up as his mind stays motivated with only the end goal in mind. At the same time, he could be a rather ambitious young man, his determination to power through drives him into impulsive decisions that often end up hurting him. Elias's passion extends to his friends and family. While he may be too straightforward with others, he always means go by it. He sees no reason to use exhaustive details and unnecessary nuances. Elias loves to spend time with his friends, often playing sports, practicing, or eating. His trust is easy to come by and just as easy to break. His ability to hold grudges against those who have wronged him often see themselves melting under Elias's fiery gaze. ____________________________________________________________________________ B I O G R A P H Y Sofia Schneider was a veteran from the Deutsches Heer. During her last year in service she met a man who shone brighter than any other she had ever seen. They clicked instantly. Both of them had a passion for history, war strategies, and she even introduced him to war strategy games. About a year later Sofia was pregnant with Elias. By then, she had slowly come to realise the man she had fallen for wasn't a normal human. After Elias's birth, Sofia had moved into her family's home in Dresden, where she raised Elias along with her grandparents. From a young age, she taught him how to fend for himself and his friends, raising the young boy under her own principles. Always protect those you care about and never give up. The little Ares boy began to show promising results, that was until his mood swings began to show. Around the age of 13, Elias would have extreme mood swings. He'd have periods of extreme productivity then crash as bad with depressive periods that would last months. With the help of his mother, Elias was able to seek the help he needed. Adding Bipolar Disorder and ADHD, and Dyslexia made Elias's childhood just a bit harder than other kids his age. Of course, being his mother's son Elias didn't let that stop him. He continued with his studies and began to play sports. It wasn't until he turned 15 that Sofia and Elias moved to New York in the pretense of a new job. Just a month in living in the city when his mother told Elias was enough to know the truth about his father. Before that, Elias had always wondered but never brought it up. Whenever his mother tried to talk to him about his father, he would ignore her or just walk away. Why would he want to hear of the man that had left his mother? The truth hurt more than the idea of his father being some idiot that left them. Elias would have been happy not knowing who, or what, his father was. With resentment, Elias agreed to go to the camp. ____________________________________________________________________________ D E M I G O D I N F O C A B I N Cabin Eight ⧿ Ares, God of War R E S P O N S A B I L I T I E S - Cabin Co-Counselor W E A P O N S - Double swords passed down by his mother. - Dagger his mother bought during a Ren Fair.

Some may see this as arrogance while she sees it as pride. Pride in the woman she had come to be. Imani knows who she is. She is a strong confident young woman whose unyielding passion and determination to better herself overshadow anything else. Her strong will to be the best of the best is quite reminiscent of her father's attitude towards life, one of the attributes her mother loved so much about him. When meeting Imani for the first time, she could be considered to be quite bitchy and conceded. Not everyone finds a woman that is so self-assured and comfortable with herself appealing. Especially boys. Through her initial impressions, Imani is an adventurous woman with passion and hunger for knowledge. She doesn't shy away from new experiences and enjoys exploring the outdoors. To those she considers friends, Imani is a loyal woman who would go to extreme lengths to help those close to her. She's unforgiving to those that hurt her or her friends and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty for them. Imani's ability to give her everything to the people she deeply cares for shows how much she is willing to fight for them. Despite her fiery mouth, sarcastic lines, and piercing stares Imani just wants to be loved. ____________________________________________________________________________ B I O G R A P H Y No one could resist one of the greatest actor in French history, not even the goddess of love. A year into a their relationship, the Du Beily family welcomed a beautiful baby that a few years later they would come to know as their daughter Imani. The Du Baileys were a wealthy family, owning land all over Europe and the Americas. Imani's father, Beauregard Du Bailey was the second son of the head of the Du Bailey Corp head. It came to everyone's surprise when Beauregard introduced Imani to the family. Who would have thought that the playboy of the family would have accepted a child, a child he spiled to the stars and beyond. Imani grew up with a golden spoon between her lips. Private schools, nannies, tutors, and the best cooks the Du Bailey name could buy. No matter how much she had, Imani was still somewhat unhappy. The reflection in the mirror didn't match the vision she had for herself. The short hair, the flat chest, the way her voice kept dropping. Her family supported her through it all. Her aunts took her shopping to the best boutiques in Paris while her uncles and father bought her all sorts of jewelry. Imani had her family's support, all except for one. Her mother never once came to visit her. She'd often ask her father about the whereabouts of her mother but the actor never gave her a straight answer. He'd always told her that her mother was the most beautiful woman, just like Imani, that she was gentle, kind, and funny. None of that answered her questions. Who was she? What was her name? Did she not love her enough to stay with them? Despite the growing doubt and curiosity, Imani continued to live with the weight of it all on her chest. A weight that would finally be too much for her. It had been a cold winter day. Imani was around 14 years old when she was walking home from a friend's house when a black car stopped next to her and pulled her inside. The men resulted in being enemies of the Du Bailey family and were after ransom money. It only took a few hours for Imani to be back in the arms of her father and the rest of the family. The men had fallen in a sort of trance-like state and had followed Imani's order to return her home. Everyone had questions as to how Imani had managed to escape, all but her father. Beauregard knew how. A week later Beauregard and Imani took a trip to America. There he told his daughter that he loved her so much and that she would meet her mother soon enough. Just like that, she was sent to Long Island to a camp. Since then Imani has been staying at the camp part-time, visiting France and her family over the summers. ____________________________________________________________________________ D E M I G O D I N F O C A B I N Cabin Ten ⧿ Aphrodite, Goddess of Love R E S P O N S A B I L I T I E S - Cabin Counselor W E A P O N S - Imani has a stygian iron dagger gifted to her the day she was claimed. A B I L I T I E S Amokinesis : The ability over love and desire. Imani's ability extends to herself and other people. She can manipulate the love and desire they feel for her or other to a certain extend. Charmspeak : The ability influence other with the strength of their voices. Imani's charmspeak is the strongest when she feels afraid or under stress. Life Aura: The ability sense death or when it's coming. Imani's Legacy to Hades gives her this ability. It has only showed up twice in her life, but has no explenation to it yet. Superhuman Abilites : Like all demigods, Imani posses superhuman strength, agility, durability, and reflexes. ____________________________________________________________________________ O T H E R Face Claim: Laura Harrier | #b76e79 Imani's father encouraged her to learn languages, she knows French, English, Spanish, a bit of Cantonese and Greek.

I finished her a lot quicker than I thought. I'll try to finish the Ares soon, no promises.

If anyone wants to talk relations my PMs are open!

Hello! My one slot for group rp just opened and I've had my eyes on this one for a bit now.
I'll be writing up two characters, a daughter of Aphrodite and a son of Ares. I have another post to catch up on but I'll try to at least have the skeleton by the end of next week!

@Rodiak Mind if I copy some of your code?

What Are You Listening To?

If you were a D&D Character what would your alignment be and why?

Chaotic Neutral.

Because I can.

Love Ahoy! [CANCELLED]

^{A collaboration between @Metztli & @Aewin}

To find that special someone you are looking for.

Right, Gabriel was totally finding that special someone. If that special someone were a tightly rolled blunt he would gladly start his search. Instead, he was supposed to be searching for a person- a person that Gabriel knew didn't exist. He was surrounded by other people, wealthy ones at that, who would probably just toss Gabriel aside. He'd recognize quite a few, but none that he would willingly walk up to and strike a conversation. Gabriel could put on a friendly and approachable face in front of the cameras or out in public, but this was out of his comfort zone. He wasn't just supposed to talk to these people but to pursue them. The next week was supposed to be for "finding that special someone." God, he was getting tired of that phrase.

"Maybe I could sneak away." Go smoke at the back of the deck or to a secluded area of the cruise. It was a massive ship, and after all, he wouldn't be missed anyway. He felt like a caged animal trying to escape. The thought of just talking to someone seemed too foreign to him. Gabriel didn't understand why he was having such a hard time right now. Was it the withdrawals? The incident from this week? Whatever it was, the more he thought about it the worse the weight on his chest got. He really hoped he didn’t look like a nervous wreck in front of all these people. Oh, fuck, he totally did, didn’t he?

“If you’re lucky to make it to the exit before the cruise sets off, maybe.” Diana joined Gabriel, seeming just as unimpressed by the event. She wasn’t exactly nervous by any means, but her complete disinterest must have been apparent. “Who knows, maybe you’ll have better luck than me.” Luckily for Diana, her momentary fuck up had been mostly forgotten, instead the bold words by another had captured the attention of their interesting hosts. She would have gladly attempted to get away again, the itch to check her phone strong, but she didn't want to spook another staff member with her rare bouts of clumsiness.

“I’m Diana, by the way.” She introduced herself, finally extending a hand to shake his hand. Realising that she was sounding rather robotic and businesslike, she plastered a smile on her face, trying the humour route instead. “It'll be useful to know, just in case you don't make it out in time.”

Gabriel had been looking at a very interesting stain on the deck floor when he heard a woman's voice near him. Startled just a bit, he looked up at Diana. Ah, so she had heard him. He hadn't been trying to be quiet either. "Don't think I'll make it off the cruise. My assistant is probably down there waiting for the ship to leave and make sure I don't get off." His instincts kicked in as he put on that camera-ready smile on show. "I'm more afraid of him than the thought of speed dating, so I think I'll stay."

He studied the woman in front of him, eyes careful not to stare too much. She was beautiful by all means and had been kind enough to distract him from the anxiety building up. Gabriel took her hand and shook it firmly, his signature lopsided smile spreading over his lips. "Gabriel. It's nice to meet you, Diana." If they were going to be stuck in an oversized boat for a week together, he might as well introduce himself as Gabriel. His stage name gave people certain impressions that Gabriel did not want to keep up during the next week.

Diana understood the pain of not having a way off the boat. Although she didn’t have an assistant keeping watch like poor Gabriel, she wouldn’t be so surprised if her mother was keeping track of her using the Find My iPhone feature just to be sure. Creepy and overbearing? Sure. But without that threat, Diana would have directed the jet to Taiwan to talk with her customers directly instead of boarding the cruise.

She studied him in turn, his name invoking the sense of familiarity in her. Had she seen him somewhere before? A glance around at the rest of the passengers was enough to let her know that most of them were influential of sorts - business tycoons like Lilianna Reigan to the creative geniuses like Alexander Vandenburg and Sorcha O’Sullivan Mesa. It wasn’t his features she seemed to recognise, but the grit of his voice. “Although I’m painfully aware that this sounds flirtatious, I mean this in the least awkward way possible. Have we met before? It’s your voice, it sounds familiar.”

"Ah, well. Gabriel pulled back his hand to scratch one of the scars on his ink-covered arm. "My stage name is Aries, lead singer of the band Fourdust." It was hard for him to introduce himself like that in a setting that wasn't in front of cameras. This wasn't some interview room or a photoshoot set, so the man was out of his comfort zone. "And don't worry, I get that a lot- and not in the flirty sort of way." He let a small nervous laugh. He had just made it awkward, hadn't he? Great job, Gabriel. "People just remember the voice over the face."

"What about you, Diana? What do you do?" Gabriel brought the flute of apple cider up to his lips for a sip but forgot it was already empty. With a chuckle, he put it down, trying to play it cool. Idiot.

“Fourdust, of course!” Now she knew why. Fourdust regularly cropped up in her Spotify playlists, it was hard not to give it a chance. Though Diana didn’t expect it, she grew to enjoy something far different to her regular classical pieces. In fact, she particularly enjoyed listening to Fourdust as part of her workout regime to pump herself up. “Your last album was incredible, you have great talent.” Diana complimented with a genuine smile.

“What I do sounds far more boring compared to you.” She let out a laugh. “I’m the VP of the Huntley investment firm. It’s… a lot of work, it’s nothing short of a miracle that I’m even on this cruise right now.” Diana admitted. As if to prove her point, she felt her phone buzz again in the pocket of her skirt, undoubtedly her secretary keeping her updated regarding the work left back at Chicago.

Gabriel could feel the built-up weight on his chest lift up when Diana didn't change her demeanor towards him. He returned the genuine smile to match hers, a lot more relaxed than before. "Thank you, ah, I- we- all put a lot of effort into the last album." Gabriel had written most of the songs in the album, along with Daniel's help. It had been almost a year ago when the album came out just a few weeks before the breakup. While the songs in it had been mostly the typical metal songs, one of the ballads had been written for Daniel. Gabriel always laughed thinking about that. How stupid.

"I can imagine how busy it must be-and difficult." Gabriel had heard that name before, but he had never really known what they did. Whatever it was, if Diana was saying that it was a miracle she was standing in front of him, Gabriel trusted her words. Corporate jobs scared him; he knew how ruthless and determined one had to succeed, so Gabriel admired Diana's drive. "Well, we are here now, and there is no way to escape." He raised his flute towards her, "Here's to a hopeful relaxing week. Full of, uh, what I hope is some relaxing activities. And no work. Maybe." Again, he brought the flute up to his lips, only to be disappointed yet again.

“And no work indeed,” Diana parroted lowly in amusement. It would be a hard time tearing her away from her phone, but as pleasant as this first impression was, Diana started feeling somewhat hopeful. She could only hope that the rest of the passengers would be the same, it would make for a decent enough vacation. Maybe this trip wouldn’t be so bad after all. Diana her own flute, in turn, inclining her head in Gabriel’s direction. “To finding whatever we want from this trip. Whether it be love, or just a really expensive holiday.”
