Camp Half Blood

Hope so. Would be nice to see more people, but I just hope it starts

Camp Half Blood

Mostly just a bump, but man...I have an idea for another character. I think I'll wait a bit and see what other characters might be posted.

Anyone that wants to discuss possible friendships and/or potential romantic interests (mostly just thinking of Erik regarding this seeing how he's been at camp for nearly a decade) feel free to PM me.

Camp Half Blood

Name: Erik Penderghast

Age: 18

Parents:
Kaylee Penderghast
Ares

Personality:
First and foremost, he’s a cocky bastard. That’s not to say he’s not a nice guy or thoughtful, but he is arrogant when it comes to a lot of things, and most things turn into a competition for him. Most times he’s looking for something fun to do, which can typically involves flirting or picking fights or pulling pranks/being a hooligan or even all of them at the same time. He loves to laugh and socialize and be the center of attention. He has a short attention span if something boring is going on - worse than most demigods really - and is prone to wandering off in search of something more interesting to do.

Following that up, he’s a massive flirt, looking to chat it up with pretty much anything female. Even though he’s a flirt, he has a massive respect for women - often called the worst kind of sexist by his sisters since he will more often than not just jump into the defense of a female he believes to be in distress rather than assess the situation and see if she really does need help. Believing himself silver-tongued, he thinks fast on his feet and could generally talk his way into, out of, or through any situation - if he wanted to. Though generally suave and sometimes sophisticated, there are plenty of times times when his desire for fun gets the best of him and he ends up in a bad situation, which is generally more fun for him.

Despite all of this, he is fiercely defensive of his friends and will drop what he’s doing (even mid-activity) to go help a friend out. At times like that, he puts on his serious face and will do anything in his power to make his friend happy/help (or go beat the s**t out of whomever made his friend unhappy.) He might not be the smartest person, barely managing a C average in school (aside from gym), but he certainly is loyal and knows enough to listen to any plans presented him before acting. This doesn’t mean he actually uses any of them, but he will usually listen. Fighting, and making split second decisions on how to best instruct someone else in a fight, are in his blood after all.

History:
Erik grew up the youngest of three and the only boy. Thanks to looking mostly like his mom no one ever knew about the infidelity when she ended up having a one night stand after a particularly bad argument between her and her husband; Daniel was getting frustrated with what he called an over attentive nature toward her superior officer that seemed a bit more than just trying to do a good job. No one was the wiser, as they had always wanted a son, and it actually helped bring their relationship closer. She didn’t cheat anymore, and requested a transfer to a different base. This started their family getting bounced from one base to another almost every year (not literally, but that’s how it felt.)

Since they moved a bit when Erik was younger, there weren’t many problems from monsters, mostly just problems from him starting fights with other kids. When they finally did settle down when he was seven, he seemed to have been walking around with a target on his back. He lucked into defeating a few, thanks to his abilities and having picked up how to fight here and there from fights he picked/got into with other kids. It didn’t stop the monsters from coming, but before he could really figure out how much of a danger his family was in a satyr found him. The satyr brought him to camp for the summer, and upon arriving he called up his parents and explained everything. That was when he was nine. He didn’t even get claimed until he was eleven, despite the signs being there. Ever since he was nine he has been coming to camp for the summer. Three summers ago, he won the position of Ares Cabin Head and has maintained it for the past two years.

Specialties/Talents:
Excels at martial combat using nearly any weapon, as well as a wide variety of hand to hand combat styles.

He can transform any metal object, or existing weapon (examples: a wooden sword or a bow) into a weapon of his choosing; it will stay transformed for as long as he holds it, or as long as he concentrates on keeping it a weapon should he decide to throw it. Objects remain the material of which they are made, but take on a magical (celestial bronze) quality to them due to the nature of the transformation, allowing them to slay monsters. Although he can use this ability during a fight, it will add to how tired he is after the fight and the drain starts to wear at his energy/adrenaline levels the more he ends up doing it during a fight.

During a fight, the only thing there is for him is the fight; injuries become easily ignored and his strength grows greatly so long as his adrenaline is pumping hard. This only lasts for as long as the fight goes on, he finally must succumb to his injuries (such as being knocked unconscious), or his adrenaline has faded. After his adrenaline fades, he hits a major crash and all the energy used for fighting and all the injuries he ignored to fight become overly pronounced with all the consequences of fighting with an injury; usually this leaves him barely able to move when fighting through injury, and even barely conscious if combined with transforming his weapon more than once.

Other:
Give him names, dates, or facts to remember - and he’ll forget most of them immediately. It takes him a bit to remember a name when it’s someone he doesn’t have immediate regular contact with (i.e. his half-brothers and sisters); that’s why he assigns people nicknames based on a specific quality a person has. Once he does know someone’s real name, he tends to continue using the nickname, unless he really needs the person to do something/needs their attention. (If you have a request for a nickname Erik will call your character, please feel free to make it. Otherwise, we’ll make one up.)

Camp Half Blood

Name: Penelope Le Faye

Age:
14

Parents:
Erin le Faye
Hades

Personality
She’s a little bit dark in her outlook on life - not a pessimist, but more realistic in the bleaker aspects of life. Growing up picked on by other kids more for the fact she lived next to a cemetery than her ‘peculiar’ nature of finding beauty in death, she has a little bit of a chip on her shoulder and didn’t actively seek socialization with other kids for quite some time. Communicating with others comes at a bit of difficulty for her because of this, and tends to make her a little hostile upon first approach. She prefers to be alone with Shadow, but will - reluctantly - work with others when the need arises. In such cases, although she may not be happy about working with others, she does work well with them and follows directions easily, even offering advice depending on the situation.

She is quick thinking, though not always the best ideas. It’s more working on instinct over actual planning, but it kept her alive thus far. If given the chance, she does prefer to sit back and study a situation to figure out her best tactic; doing so helps prevent her from going with her gut reaction to assume the worst and react hostilely. Getting a sarcastic or snippy response tends to be the best reaction she tends to give nine times out of ten.

Extremely Long History:

Born to a young widow, Penelope was always told she was the most special gift her mother ever received and that her father was a powerful man in a distant place. Although they lived with her mother’s brother in his shack next to the cemetery he tended, she never felt lonely. Looking out at those graves always brought her a bit of peace, even after the kids at school called her strange and bullied her for where she lived and the rumors that she helped her uncle dig the graves (which she did actually do via her abilities). Her mother kept telling her it was because they were jealous of how special she was and that one day her father would prove to her she was special.

Then war came, and her uncle left to fight. Her mother worked tirelessly to keep everything in order and provide for her child - working her seamstress job and tending the cemetery to cover for the absent caretaker. She did what she could to help, still doing the ‘heavy lifting’ of dealing with the graves.

That was when Penelope finally started asking why her father never sent presents or money to help her mother if he was such a powerful man. Her first present arrived - a stygian iron dagger with an onyx crystal in the hilt - appeared on her doorstep the morning of her twelfth birthday simply stating “For Penelope”. The second present came on her thirteenth birthday - a puppy her mother swore was a rottweiler - with a note saying “To help protect you from the dangers of the world.”

It was shortly after that when a man appeared at their doorstep. Penelope didn’t know who he was, but he warned her mother it was not safe for her anymore. He offered to take them both to his kingdom and keep them safe, but her mother refused - promising to make sure Penelope was safely away instead. A week later, her mother kissed her goodbye and sent her off into the Lotus Hotel.

She remained there as time passed, and only finally left a few months ago when someone claiming to be her mother came to get her. It wasn’t until she was outside the hotel and trying to understand why the city was so different that she realized this person wasn’t her mother; following her first instinct, she reacted to the perceived threat and ran. This only caused more trouble, as she not only tried to figure out why everything was so different - cars looked nothing like they had when she first went in - when she ran right into a pair of gorgons. If it hadn’t been for Shadow, and a pack of other similar dogs that seemed to come out of nowhere, she would have surely died.

Nothing made sense, and her panic over everything made her expect danger at every turn. So when a satyr found her learning that she had missed the better part of a century, she assumed he was there to attack. Shadow would have attacked if it hadn’t been for another monster attack, during which the satyr proved to be more ally than threat in helping take care of the threat. With that sorted out, though her not feeling any warmer toward the satyr mostly due to the whole overwhelming nature of the new situation, she reluctantly decided to follow him back to camp. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it helped her gain a bit better sense of her own strengths and limitations. As well as making one of her only friends in this century.

She’s only been at camp for one month at this point.

Specialties/Talents:

• She has control over shadows, mostly enough to make them darker or longer or move in odd ways at this time. She hasn’t played with this ability in a while, and before she started playing with it at home it was (and still is) reactive to her moods.
  The darker her mood, the more likely the shadows are to shift and try to encompass her (or the person causing her to be angry.) With practice, she’ll be able to manipulate it into solidified forms of shadows to use as weapons or shields.
  
  
  • She has only a small experience with Shadow Travel, and it leaves her completely exhausted when she attempts it.
  • A shadow perpetually follows her.
• Although she has no necromantic abilities, she is able to at least subconsciously ward off baleful spirits only outward of a twenty foot radius from her.
• As a child of Hades, she has a sensitivity to death and can sense if someone she has personal knowledge of (i.e. loved one or close friend) has died; if she has personal knowledge of a particular soul (such as a close friend or loved one) she can even locate that person in the Underworld if they are both in the Underworld at the same time. Both parts of this take a lot of concentration.
• She can control hellhounds and communicate with them. Eventually she'll be able to summon them at will, but for now they must be in the area to respond to her. (So, mostly just Shadow.)
• As a geokinesis user, she will be able to manipulate the earth by creating pits/fissures, creating walls/pillars of rocks, reshaping tunnels/rock and stone doors to meet her needs or even sealing them, and even manipulate the stone/rock to be as tough as the black walls of the underworld. Currently, she's only able to "dig holes".

Other:
She has a hell hound named Shadow that is roughly the size of a springer spaniel; she knows it’s a puppy and believes what she was told - that it is a rottweiler (she had never seen a real rottweiler so she doesn’t know the difference.)

She has a dagger, not magical aside from it being stygian iron, that she keeps in its sheath on her back.

As her mother and uncle were born in Ireland and grew up - for a decent amount anyways - in Ireland, she picked up their accent and still maintains the softest Irish lilt, which does get a lot stronger when frustrated.

@zeldaz Sweet. I'll PM you the sheet(s) once I'm done, so you can nitpick before I post.
Won't be for a few hours. Gotta catch up on my 1x1 RPs.

Camp Half Blood

Would it be okay to have a character whose godly parent is one of the Big Three?
