Danny sighed when he heard Chiron's voice booming through the camp, calling an assembly. So far, he'd only made two girls cry today. "I must be losing my touch," the demigod thought to himself, circling back to the main area. He managed to grab a plateful of assorted bread and cheese for breakfast before Chiron launched into another one of his extremely time-consuming speeches. He was sure it was something important, but almost nothing was important enough to forgo breakfast for. Plus, he missed dinner last night because he had been busy rigging up a harmless but terrifying trap in the Aphrodite cabin. It was nothing too serious, but just recalling the look on their faces cracked him up. Sure, he had the power to instill pants-shitting terror in a person just through eye contact, but it was always a hell of a lot more satisfying to do so manually. One of the younger kids had even peed himself a little bit. Which was probably why his victims from the night before gave him a wide berth as he sauntered an unerringly straight line towards where Chiron was making an announcement.
Danny was awoken by a deafening thunderclap, plus someone screaming bloody murder a few cabins away. Sitting up in his bed, he groggily glanced around the cabin, at the walls amateurishly splashed with red. From somewhere else in the cabin, he could almost hear the thrumming bassline of a song. When he first arrived at the camp, they decided to just lump him together with the Ares kids since there weren't many Deimos ones. Maybe he was even the only one. After all, not a lot of people would find the idea of getting it on with the personification of terror appealing. He couldn't stop himself from scoffing at the thought. God, his mum must've been pretty damn smitten to agree to something like that.

Rolling over, he attempted to go back to sleep. It was still dark and in Danny's opinion, no one had a good reason to be up at this ungodly hour. But the howling winds that signalled the oncoming storm kept him awake. Letting out an exasperated sigh, he finally gave up after a good while of tossing and turning. He got out of bed, decided to go for a walk. The demigod changed into something a little more presentable, an emerald green t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. A shark-like grin grew broad on his face at the prospect of scaring some fresh meat. Strapping on his boots, he grabbed his favourite leather jacket hanging from a notch on his bedpost and threw it on before exiting the cabin.

Danny jokingly saluted the leering boar's head hanging above the cabin's front door when he got outside. He wasn't so sure about the children of Ares when he first arrived but after spending a good three years here, he almost saw them like his family. Although they were technically a generation older than him. Say what you would about the Ares kids, but man, did they know how to scare people. Turning on his heels, he started to wander about the compound, looking for his next victim.
I'm up for this. :D
Krein said @Phloem: I think he and Seth might actually get along well, seeing as how Seth's magic focuses on fear amongst other things like hate and sorrow. I think it would be wise however, to include some limit to the effect of his Terror Aura. It obviously can't be as powerful to the degree of Hades' Helm, and there might be a bit of trouble if everyone around him is instantly paralyzed by fear. Everything is good, just assure us that the Fear thing won't cause power playing and stuff like that.


For sure, his aura just makes people feel uneasy around him, like he's about two seconds away from stabbing them or something. It's nothing much, just enough to make people wanna avoid him whenever possible. xD
Finally done. Hope this is alright. :D



Name: Danny Wycombe

Age: 17

Godly parent: Deimos

Years at camp: 3

Weaponry: Anything he can get his hands on. But he's quite partial to war axes.

Fatal flaw: He's a bad fighter despite being an Ares legacy. It's mostly because he never needed to use his fighting skills, due to him always relying on his terror-bringing ability.

Special Abilities (Limited to 2): Danny has the ability to make one see their worst fears through eye contact.

Other (Background information, etc.): Danny lives and breathes terror. Not just fear – but pants-wetting, nightmare-inducing, can’t-sleep-alone-for-months terror. Even as a child, he found enjoyment in scaring people. He was always probing people, asking them what they were afraid of, what scared them the most. Somehow, no matter how reluctant the person was, Danny was able to get it out of them; to find out their deepest, darkest fears. And, as any young, slightly sociopathic boy would do, he went out of his way to exploit those fears. When the girl next door admitted she was afraid of ghosts, Danny made up a story about how he was sure he’d seen a face at her window a few nights earlier – pale, ethereal, ghostly. The girl hadn’t been able to sleep in her own room for three weeks afterwards, and despite being punished severely for lying, Danny reveled in the fear one little story had caused.

His penchant for scaring people and exploiting their fears grew only the as got older. If people were afraid of the dark, he’d find a way to leave them in the dark for three hours. If they were afraid of spiders, he’d spend days catching numerous arachnids, and then releasing them at once into the victim’s bedroom whilst they slept. No fear was too small or too big for Danny to exploit, and his mother often feared for his mental health. It didn’t help that the one time he was sent to therapy, he scared the therapist so much she suffered a nervous breakdown and moved countries.

At Camp Half-Blood, Danny keeps mostly to himself. His naturally threatening aura means that many campers go out of their way to avoid him, though, unfortunately for them, Danny enjoys seeking them out. He gets a kick out of seeing people cry, especially because of him.
Hi there! Could I possibly make a child of Deimos?
