Just wanted to say sorry to all my RP partners for my disappearance. Things around my unit have gotten ridiculously busy lately and I have had almost no free time. I'm hoping things calm down soon.

I like just letting people think I'm dumb, it's too much work to open my mouth and prove them right

Bio

Hello my RPing comrades and welcome to my little slice of the internet, help yourself to a cookie. If you have come here you must want to know a little bit about me, colored me faltered!! Well to start I'm a twenty year old male who has been roleplaying for the past six years, I actually got my start on the original site before it went down if anyone was around for those days. I am currently employed as a LPN for the U.S. Army, which is just another way for saying that I usually have quite the busy schedule yay... My interests are pretty simple; gaming, reading, and of course roleplaying!!

As for my RPing skills I usually try to keep to the casual section for RPs, though I have dipped my toes into the advanced sections from time to time, so I usually try to shoot up two to three good paragraphs per post. Interest wise I am a sucker for anything fantasy or superhero based, what can I say dungeons and spandex excite me XD I love a simple slice of life RP too, helps with a change of pace. I normally play male characters, I just feel that I am able to write for them better than a female character. I love talking in the OOC, almost a bit too much so if I am chatting your ear off please tell me to shut my trap, trust me I really need to from time to time.

Oh and please if you want to send me a PM feel more than free to, I love meeting new people, and I only bite half of the time =D

List O Interests:

Fallout
Elder Scrolls
Bioshock
Marvel Universe
DC Universe
My Hero Academia
Percy Jackson
Harry Potter
The Wolf Among Us/Fables
Star Wars
Borderlands
Overwatch
Mass Effect
Oh and of course...
DRAGON AGE!!!

Hmm I'm curious, have all the events in the books happened or is this a type of alternate universe where they didn't? I'm fine with either I was just wondering, oh and sorry if this was answered already and I missed it.

EDIT: @Nightfury Kat Hey if you are still wanting to talk about camper relations I'm more than open to it =)
Hello all! I'm looking forward to RPing with all of you =)

"In this crazy world of ours it is good to know that we are in this together."


Name
Barry Elwood Groves
Counselor Big B
Big Bro


Age
19

Looks
Barry is a giant of a person, standing at 6'6" in height and having quite the burly body build. Admittedly he is a tad bit on the pudgy side, but don't be fooled under what he calls his "cushioning" he has a mound of unshakable muscle that paired with his large frame and broad shoulders makes him quite the titian sized demigod. He has lightly tanned skin from spending long hours in the sun, likewise he also has quite the accumulation of body hair most noticeably on his arms and chest. His eyes are a bright hazel, matching the color of a ripe wheat field, and holds a unmistakable gleam of joy in them. His hair is an assortment of rich dark brown curls that he usually keeps tied back. He has a tattoo of a blooming rose on his left shoulder. His usual attire is pretty simple, some sort of sleeveless T-shirt paired with some shorts and a set of sandals.






Personality
The only thing bigger than Barry is his personality, everything he does he does to the fullest and with a huge smile on his face. There is no real off switch with Barry, especially when it comes to his humor, he will do everything in his power to put a smile on the faces of those around him. A giant man with a giant heart as he is described he is quite the caring person, he hates to see it when someone is upset and will make it his personal quest to help that person. He is the unofficial big brother of everyone at camp, having been there for so long he sees all the campers as his family and would do anything for. He is a incredibly passionate about many things in life, especially his gardening and cooking. Another one of his unofficial titles at camp is that of head chef, he can often be found cooking in the little makeshift kitchen he has set up in his cabin when he has down time, a lot of the campers are drawn to the smells often drifting from cabin four. He is also quite the eco warrior, he catches you littering you better be ready to have your ear talked off about protecting mother earth.

Parents
Demeter
Oscar "Big Daddy Oak" Groves


History
Demeter has always been known for being quite... funny when it came to picking her mortal lovers. Sure you have the talented farmer here or the skilled florist there, but you also have many men that just happened to have the right name like Gardener or Woods. You can only imagine the Goddess's pleasant surprise once she came across Oscar Groves, a genius botanist as well as a man with a last name that was right up her ally, and this is where Barry comes into the picture.

Barry's childhood was pretty peaceful for a demigod's, well as far as he knew. His father had set up shop in Hawaii and opened a little herbalist store by the name of "Big Daddy Oak's Grove" where he sold a whole assortment of plants that could help with any ailment you could imagine, the locals considered him a god send for all the medical attention he gave them. As for Barry growing up on the island he couldn't ask for anything more, long days playing under the sun with friends and even longer nights surfing the waves.

Unfortunately that all ended when he turned eight, it turned out that Daddy Oak had found a mixture of herbs that could mask a demigod's scent from monsters and had been using it to protect his son, but as Barry got older and stronger so did his godly scent eventually it got to the point that the mixture didn't work any more and with that came the monsters. Luckily Daddy Oak wasn't completely in the dark when it came to monsters, Demeter did make sure to give him the full story of who she was and the threats that Barry would face, so like his little monster repellent he was able to whip up some monster poison just the same. But it was after this first attack that Barry was told the truth about himself and who his mother was, it goes without saying that it was a lot for a child to take in.

It was around this time that a Satyr happened upon Barry and his father and offered to take him to a sanctuary for his kind, Camp Half-Blood. There was little room to turn the offer so after a teary eyed goodbye to his father Barry was off for the mainland. The journey was... less than uneventful, many a monsters found their way after the two, but the one good thing to come out of it was that Barry came across Omorfiá who the two quickly formed a unbreakable bond. Eventually the journey came to a end and Barry made it to Camp Half-Blood safe and sound, well as safe as he was. That was eleven years ago and since then Barry has worked his way into becoming the head of the Demeter cabin and one of the longest staying members of the camp.







Specialties/Talents
"I have quite the green thumb."
As a child of Demeter Barry has an inherent control over the plants of the world, being able to make them flourish and thrive even in the most dire of situations. In his case he seems to have a even stronger control over the flora around him, being able to grow plants to staggeringly large size and bend them to his will in order to attack or hinder foes. His go to method of using this ability it to summon massive thorn covered roots from the earth.
"Sometimes it is good to slow down and smell the roses... and ask them for directions."
Barry has a kind of GPS built into him in the form of being able to sense his surroundings through the plant life around him. Be it a field of flowers or a crop of wheat if Barry slows down and concentrates he can in a way see through the plants. This is the main reason people fight to have the Demeter cabin on their team for capture the flag.
"Guess you can say I am the spiritual type."
Barry has some control over the spirits of nature, though it should be described as more of a sway really, many compare it to the children of Aphrodite charmspeaking but to a lesser extent. He can convince spirits like karpoi or nymphs to help him when need be and they are far more likely to help him than any other random demigod, but if he gives them a reason to say no they will just like any other person would. Later on if he further improves this skill he could possible even summon these spirits.
"Don't worry we have flower power to protect us!"
Barry's weapon of choice is a rather large shield with a rose decal that he is able to summon from the tattoo on his shoulder, it is appropriately been named flower power. If he loses it in battle he can resummons it from his shoulder but it will take a few moments.
"Bon Appétit, Grubs On!"
Barry is quite the talented chef that is able to cook nearly anything. Whatever you have a craving for he can make practically make with a snap of his fingers, anything from the sweetest of deserts to the healthiest veggie dishes. If you catch him during his down time you can probably talk him into cooking you something.
"Lets jam man!"
Though no wear nearly as gifted as the children of Apollo Barry does know his way around the strings. He can play the guitar pretty masterfully, but he prefers to stick to his ukulele.
"Surf's Up!"
Barry loves surfing and would do more of it if there were better waves at camp, but that doesn't stop him from trying every now and then.


Other
Omorfiá is Barry's best friend and a giant peach colored lion. She is a descendent of the Nemean lion, making her quite the tough cookie. Though some of the newer campers are scared of her she is a huge teddy bear once you get to know her.
When Barry isn't at camp he is usually attending his collage culinary classes.
He seems to be quite the hit with the nymphs around the camp, maybe it has to do with his way with nature, but it has gotten to the point that many of them have developed very obvious crushes on him. Funny enough this is the reason a lot of the camp's satyrs don't like him, who knew that the goat men were the jealous type.
Sorry for the wait guys but the post is up =) Also this Friday I am going to post again, but it is going to move the story along more if we haven't picked up more momentum by then. Vat-Katari going to head us off on a little test quest to see how everyone handles as a crew.
Vat-Katari couldn't help but admire his own work of clearing out the building with little more than a vague threat and hard glare, if he wasn't careful there would be no way for him to set sail with the weight of his massive ego. Luckily before his head got too big from his self indulgence his attention was grabbed by one of the few souls that decided to stay despite his less than inviting words. It was the fellow that he pegged as a Vint not too long ago and Vat-Katari had to admit that that feeling still stuck with him as he listened to the young man's brief introduction and even briefer explanation of his skills. Luckily for the both of them Vat-Katari didn't hold the same grudge against Tevinter and its people his Qun fallowing Kinsman did, and even luckier Vat-Katari understood the need of having someone that knew how to handle herbs and could serve as a crew's doctor. "Well I have to say Ser you make quite the impression and if you aren't just talking out of your arse I think you'll do just fine here." He said with his crooked grin to Rili and gestured to one of the free seats at his table.

It wasn't long after he had welcomed the not so much alchemist to the table that Vat-Katari noticed the small side conversation going on amongst his would be crew. Again Vat-Katari had to keep himself from stroking his own ego over his correct predictions, it seemed that small barbs were already being exchanged among the others in regards to his first mate position. Though he stood by his word of choosing to hold off on picking someone from just hearsay Vat-Katari was interested to see how his crew could handle with a little competition, he found that it was good to have people at his back that actually had drive rather than a bunch of yes men. Though at the moment it seemed that everyone was playing a game of wicked grace and hiding their hand, a game that Vat-Katari never found a liking for, but he managed to tolerate it for now.

It was then that Vat-Katari's attention was drawn to, more along the lines demanded, by the Tal-Vashoth that had taken a seat at his table earlier. Keeping to the stereotype that followed their people his fellow Tal-Vashoth spoke a simple sentence, that honestly Vat-Katari hadn't a nug's ass of a idea of what he meant by it until he then demonstrated. Blunt and to the point, Vat-Katari almost felt like he was back on Seheron talking to this one. "Good with a bow eh? That's nice, but we aren't on Par Vollen any more brother I'll need more than just your job to take you aboard. How about we start with your name." He said as he nodded back to the seat the Tal-Vashoth stood from.
Okay everyone I should be able to get a post up either tomorrow or Thursday. Again sorry for the delay, but I have been busy helping my friend clear out his house and move into his new place.

@Leos Klien Looks great, glad to have a morally loose battle crazy elf on our side. Approved =)
Sorry guys for my absence, I have been spending the weekend with my friend helping him deal with the recant passing of his mother. I am both mentally and physically drained at the moment so I am in no mood or shape to write up anything. I'll get something up I promise and I'm sorry again, but right now I really just can't write anything

@Leos Klien I know it has been a long time coming but I am sorry to say that it will be a bit longer, but right now I am in no mental state to properly review your sheet. I'll give it a look over tomorrow and give you my yay or nay, but more likely than not it will be a yay.
@KRIEEEG Don't worry about it dude real life always comes first, a spot will be saved for you =)
"Not the most subtle of people are they." A voice that practically dripped with sarcasm said. The owner of this voice was a rather odd looking young man who's current attention was all given to the more than a tad bit conspicuous T shaped building that was once the base of operations of the fabled Teen Titans. The raven haired teen looked the building over once more before letting out a low sigh. "I suppose I shouldn't keep them waiting." He said half aloud before standing up from his seat a top the ledge of a rather unsettlingly tall building that stood just across the water from the famed Titan's Tower. He took a moment to adjust himself and his belongings before looking back to the T shaped structure then just in a instant he vanished from sight, leaving nothing but streaks of radiant purple energy hanging in the air. It would only be moments later that the grey skinned fellow reappeared, though he was now on the road that was leading to the aforementioned tower. "Damn, I need to work on my aim..." He muttered to himself before he vanished again, leaving even more fragments of purple lights. Again it was not long after that he would come back into view, but this time he was now at the main entrance of the towering T. "Okay Raze... lets see if this isn't a complete waste of time." He would say to himself before taking a deep breath and entering the tower. What and who awaited the strange young man was anyone's guess, but at the moment it mostly involved rather two strong willed blondes.
@pyroman The ups and downs of life my friend, they always follow each other... now I will stop sounding like a vague fortune cookie

@LoonyWow all I can say is that it is good that things aren't getting worse for you and it may mean nothing but I send internet hugs and cookies. As for me I've been busy getting ready to head off to basic training in a few weeks
