History

Born in Seattle Washington, Jasper is the youngest of three children. His early childhood was relatively normal. He began piano lessons at the age of five, and stopped taking them at fourteen. His parents were in a loving marriage, and his early childhood memories are warm ones. On the way home from a Christmas Eve party when Jasper was eleven, his family was in a serious car crash - courtesy of a drunk driver. His older siblings and mother died. He and his father spent a few weeks in the hospital, causing his father to walk with a slight limp. Jasper walked away with no physical injuries, but had the occasional nightmare. His father turned to drinking, barely able to look at his son due to being reminded of the loss of his family.

Jasper had a rocky start to middle school. He was scrawny, and kids liked to pick on him. He learned how to defend himself quickly. This landed him in the principal's office on a handful of occasions. His father did nothing but drink at home, often leaving Jasper to clean the house and cook for himself. Jasper always knew his father struggled with his own demons. The man blamed himself for the crash because he had been driving. Ultimately, the loss was too much to bare for the man. Jasper's father took his life when his son was thirteen. The boy was sent to live with his father’s parents in Westpoint.

His grandparents were and are very rich. They made sure Jasper had everything he wanted and more, and eventually offered a place to Jasper at their home in Westpoint. They made sure he had everything that he wanted: Poetry journals, his own piano, his own music printed out whenever he liked. He even had a dog. They enrolled him into Westpoint High his freshman year. Here he was still an outsider, but the bullying wasn’t as bad. When the occasion for a fight did arise, he never backed down. His love of cigarettes, leather jackets and the occasional whiskey earned him a reputation of being a bad boy - something he never cared for.

While he has no plans set in stone for his future, he has thought about auditioning for Julliard more than once. Jasper is trying to live his life for the here and now.

Extras:

• Extracurricular Activities: None as far as the school is concerned.
• The Frays immigrated to the US in the early 1850’s, specializing in antiques, the oil industry, and real estate development. His grandfather Harold is a now retired, highly esteemed judge; His grandmother, Alice, is the founder of the Fray law firm. Portrayed by Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren. The Frays are the town founders.
• Drives a 2018 BMW I8.
• While most likely the most ‘well off’ person in town, Jasper doesn’t particularly care about the weight that his family name holds. While he keeps up with expected appearances, he tried not to seem high and mighty due to his wealth.
• Still has nightmares about his childhood. He’s been diagnosed with insomnia, and does take prescribed medication for it. The meds really don’t help much, and he avoids taking them most nights anyway.
• Smokes Marlboro blacks.
• Prefers to drink Johnnie Walker Red.
• Huge coffee guy. Drinks it black.
• Loves the ocean, moon and stars.
• Insists on writing with black ink pins only.

Female.

Pansexual - vibes over what’s in your pants.

That Bitch.

Part time waitress at Huskers Dive Bar.

Appearance Details

• Hair: Dark brown // Mid Back Length // Kinda just lets it do it’s own thing, but will braid it on occasion.
• Eyes: Green-grey
• Height: Five feet, four inches.
• Body Type: Baby got back. Salem is what would technically be called the ‘triangle’. A curvy young woman, most of her weight is held in her thighs and hips.
• Clothing Style: Casually Feminine: Dresses, skirts, tank-tops, button down blouses, boots, sneakers, jeans. Rocks the occasional pantsuit. Is most comfortable in a ratty t-shirt and worn out jeans. Silver Jewelry.
• Makeup Wise: First and foremost, Salem’s nails are always done in a stiletto shape. She alternates nail colors based on her mood, but they are most commonly black.

  • Ear lobes are pierced.

Personality

With her round face and colorful outfits, you’d assume that Salem is a relatively approachable person.

You would be wrong.

Salem is a cold person, struggling to empathize with her peers or to really connect with anyone in a pure, unfiltered way. She treats her relationships like business transactions, and likes when she’s on the benefiting side. The young woman is fiercely independent. Having the aptitude of a natural born leader, she isn’t easily peer pressured and tends to march to the beat of her own drum. While she has an explosive temper, Salem is calm, cool and calculated when it comes to her revenge. She is a cruel person, though not a bully. Salem likes to study people to learn all of their weaknesses, and will exploit them against you at any given time. She has often been described as an emotionless bitch, except for those times where she’s punching someone in the face - then she’s an angry bitch.

While cold, cruel, and reserved - deep down the brunette is fiercely loyal, and does surprisingly make for a good friend. She has jokes for days, and a witty comeback for just about anything.

History

• Salem was born in Atlanta Georgia and moved to Westpoint at the age of five due to her fathers work. Due to the economic recession, Salem’s family underwent financial struggles just like everyone else. Her father lost his job and turned to alcohol. Her mother put in long shifts at the ER as a nurse, and turned bitter towards both her husband and child.
• Salem’s schooling up until freshman year was perfectly fine. Her father died the summer before from liver failure. Her mother became even more of a shell of a person and turned to the bottle herself. Salem did her best to keep her grades up, and started getting into fights - lashing out at both her peers and teachers. She began vandalising the buildings around town with the local gang (mostly through the means of spray paint and fire). Coming home to an empty house each night was depressing, and she found it easier to hang out with the people who gave her attention for being a mess.
• The last day of Sophomore year, Salem got into a fight that wound up with the other girl in the hospital. Charges were pressed, and she spent that summer in juvie hall, on top of being expelled from her former high-school. She started at Westpoint High at the beginning of her Junior year, and did nothing to combat her reputation - if anything, she relished in it. She has continued to get in and out of fights, set things on fire, and break other things with baseball bats. It’s truthfully only a matter of time until she gets caught again.

Extras:

• Extracurricular Activities: She likes none of you. What makes you think she wants to hang out?
• Her favorite breakfast cereal is Lucky Charms. Her favorite chip is salt and vinegar. Her favorite candy is Skittles. Her favorite fruit is strawberries, and her favorite veggie is broccoli.
• Likes to go for a run when her emotions become to much.
• Is active on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and twitter (x). She does have a finsta (that she uses to start drama), and no she’s not giving you the username. Her username is @QueenBlue422.
• Her biggest secret is her mother. Salem goes home each night not knowing what waits for her on the other side of the door. Will she be alone in their empty house, or will she have to pick the woman up off the floor and assume the role of a parent once again? Her mother is also the reason why she’s worked part time at Huskers since 16 - someone has to make sure the bills are paid when the adult is wasting their money on vices.
• Salem started working at Huskers at 16 as a hostess, and has worked her way up to being a waitress.
• Her favorite color is blue.
• Hobbies include: Writing in her journal, hanging out at the beach, playing the drums, punching things, setting things on fire, and scowling.
• Nala - her 4 year old Husky.
• Speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and French at the moment. Also knows ASL.
• Drives a White '97 Mazda Mx-5 Miata.

♆ Divine Bloodlines: Immortal Bonds of Olympus ♆

_{Time: Thursday, June 1st, 6:30am.
Location: Demios Cabin -> Mess Hall
Interactions: Screaming at the sky.}

༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

Ryan woke up screaming in the stillness of her room.

Pillows and blankets had been thrown across the room as visions of her childhood danced in her head. The night terrors wasn’t anything she talked about, and she felt guilty for waking up her siblings at odd hours in the morning. But what could she do? She didn’t choose her mother, nor her trauma. Ryan was just thankful for the few people that understood - like Dany, for example.

It was mornings like these where Ryan wished she was more of an integral part of the camp. An extra hobby or chore would help to distract her mind better than any shower, but she had forced herself into this quiet lonesome - and only she could blame herself for it.

Once she was done with her shower, Ryan grabbed her daily necessities from her bedside table before quietly exiting the Deimos cabin. While she was glad that she had found her little family here at Camp Half-blood, she was happy that it was just that - little. Less people to disturb, less people to worry about, and less people to worry about her.

Even the sunrise and sounds of the camp coming alive for summer did nothing to shake the mind numbing feeling that she had as she walked down to the mess hall. She had spent years being angry at the world, and this morning wasn’t anything different. Grateful for the fact she was one of the first to arrive for breakfast, Ryan seated herself at the empty Deimos table as nymphs danced around the mess hall with platters of divine looking rations. The young woman silently filled her plate with various cheeses, berries and bread before making her way to the fire outside to burn her offerings to the gods.

The gods.

What had they ever done for her?

All Ryan knew of her father was what her mother, Georgia, had told her. Ryan often kicked herself for believing it, knowing that her mother was a master liar and manipulator. What else did she have to go off of, if not her mothers words? Deimos himself had never cared enough to make an appearance, and Dany’s promises that their father was good did nothing to ease the boiling anger inside of Ryan towards her godly parent.

Scrapping a portion of her meal into the flames she sighed.

”It’s me again, father - your bastard child,” she spat. ”I’m still waiting on some sort of confirmation that you exist.”

As the words fell from her mouth, a gentle, warm breeze blew through the air. It only made her more bitter. Her father wasn’t a wind god.

With the taste of venom still on her tongue, Ryan made her way back to the table in silence. Opening her journal, the demi-goddes began drawing in between bites of her food.

the alphabet game. lol

Extravagant.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I believe in the existence of God so I have someone to blame.

What is your Roman Empire..?

The octopus uprising.

@Skwint

Educate me please.

Post a random fact about yourself.

It is a common fact for many I'm sure, but I cannot sleep through the night. Though, apparently, that has been the case since infancy. My mother used to have to find certain noises to lull baby Ribbon to sleep. Albeit, briefly.

(I also feel immensely guilty for it, knowing that I must have been a major headache in those crucial months / years after birth.)

I often struggle with dreams that are unsettling, or horrific whenever I do sleep. I think it's quite funny that I never could grow out of this. On a brighter note, these dreams are an amazing source of inspiration when it comes to my writing.

@bonesandribbons

I relate heavily to this. My parents had to drive me around a lot as a baby to get me to fall asleep, and I struggle to stay awake on road trips. I've had my struggle with night terrors here and there, but thankfully they don't stick around for as long as yours tend to. Insomnia is a pain.

----------------

I'm the only/oldest daughter, eldest grand daughter on both sides of the family, and eldest niece in my family.
