Skylar

Skylar was lying in bed with her eyes closed. Her breath was soft as is sleeping, but she was quite alert. Dreaming was dangerous during these times. No telling what her father would try on her if he had the chance. Until this stupid conflict ended she was going to avoid him by taking short naps and drinking tons of red bull.

Sighing and deciding that she had rested her eyes long enough she kicked her legs out of the bed and gracefully landed on the floor of the empty cabin. The cabin stayed nice and warm despite the camp being on the side of the ocean, so Skylar was only wearing a t-shirt and her underwear. Rubbing her eyes quickly as if it would help her mind catch up to speed faster she looked out the window that was facing the ocean. It reminded her of her home back in California. Now that she was old enough to own a place Skylar had moved to the west coast, living in camp was not really an option after her 18th birthday, besides it was rather boring. It hadn't taken her too long to raise money due to her new hobby working with computers. Her power over electricity seemed to give her a natural gift with the electronics. Yeah, she missed California already, with it's nice weather, warm water, and her boyfriend. But camp was camp, and it was a tradition for her now after eight or nine years.

Throwing on some random clothes that were hanging around on the floor, Skylar stepped out the door into the light. Groaning, she headed towards the smell of coffee. A combination of homesickness, a lack of a coffee cup in her hand, and lack of sleep had made her very irritable. Some first year stumbled into her way with a plate of sticky waffles. Luckily he managed to tip the plate out of her way before it splashed all over her. Still she growled the the unfortunate kid, "Watch it kid."

we should let everyone post their intro before preceding

@Wintergrey dammit i wanted you q.q

@Shadowcatcher

I think that Skylar and Blake will be great enemies though, the side of Zeus and the side of Athena, the power of darkness and the power of lightning and both great leaders, yes definitely interesting

Just saying Skylar is going to assert her dominance as older camper

Sweet! Another member of the Big Three who hates their godly parent and have an anger problem. I feel like they could definitely get along despite being on opposite sides of the civil war.

@King Kindred

A zeus kid on the side of poseidon and a poseidon kid on the side of zeus, pattern anyone?

Name(First and Last): Skylar Cain - Sky/Storm

Age: 19

Gender: Female

# Of Years You've Attended CHB: 8

Godly Parent: Zeus

Which Side You're On: She hates Zeus, so she generally sides with Athena, but doesn't really care

Appearance:

Hider

Skills: Skylar is skilled in fighting with a variety of weapons. She is a quick learner when it comes to something she doesn't know and will push herself constantly until she figures it out. Skylar is also a natural born leader, probably due to her heritage. She doesn't like leading generally, but when she she does she is quite good.

Powers: Skylar can control most forms of electricity simply with a touch of her hand. Of course following the laws of energy she can not create or destroy energy, but rather has to charge herself like a battery before being able to use her power. Skylar feeds off electricity like food or water, making it a requirement for her daily routine. Unlike food or water though she can overindulge in electricity giving her a high and also overcharging her powers. While charged she is forced to wear rubber gloves over her hands. Her hands are the most conductive part of her body so if she doesn't wear gloves there is a high chance of her accidentally touching someone and shocking them. This leaves Skylar unable to touch others without worrying about hurting them.

Once charged Skylar is able to use her power for a multitude of things. These include recharging other electricity required things, creating electrical fields, generating "mini-lightning", running up walls using static electricity, and more she hasn't learned about yet.

In addition to the above strictly lightning-based powers, Skylar has a limited ability to control weather, such as summoning high winds, creating thunderstorms, and rain storms. Even in Camp Half-Blood where weather is normally magically prevented, Skylar has managed to make it rain. Using this power of weather she has managed to manipulate the winds to create a sort of limited flight. She can't fly too high, where the air gets thin, or too much at risk of exhaustion.

Personality: Skylar is a very distant and cold person. She is constantly avoiding interaction with other people and when she can't she often gets into fights because she misjudged what someone said or just plain didn't like them. She really hates when people look up to her, especially as a leader. Unfortunately this happens a lot because of her father and that she is one of the oldest campers at Camp Half-Blood.

History: For a long time Skylar and her little sister Cleo had to survive on their own, out in the big world. Their mother was dead, or missing, or had just abandoned them, whatever way it was irrelevant. Cleo was the only thing that made it bearable for Skylar. Cleo wasn't actually Skylar's true sister, more her half-sister, but it didn't matter because the two of them were just so close.

One day Skylar was walking home, or what they called home, but what was actually some abandoned apartment building, from scavenging for food and stealing for money. Due to not having a supportive parent she had to steal often to make sure they had food to eat. Otherwise they would starve and Skylar couldn't bear the thought of seeing her tiny sister's cute face on the filled with hunger pains. It was late at night, but she still stopped in the drugstore for the goldfish. They were Cleo's favorite snack. Already the thought of her glowing face was brightening Skylar's mood, though she was thoroughly exhausted.

Quietly opening the door (a piece of plywood covering the hole in the wall they called home), so as not to wake her sister, Skylar peeked in. It was late enough that Cleo should have been in - Boom! A small ball of blonde hair and bright colored socks slammed into her belly. Cleo's arms were wrapped around her waist and she looked up into her big sister's face with adoration and happiness. "I was up waiting for you. You took for eeeeeeeever!" Pulling back she grabbed Skylar's arm and pulled her into their small apartment to where they both slept side by side. Pointing Cleo said, "Look I painted a picture for you. It's us, forever, because your the bestest best big sister."

Tiredly smiling Skylar looked down at the cute little face and picked her sister up. "Guess what I got you, nut ball?" Pulling out the goldfish she braced herself. Squealing excitedly Cleo ripped open the bag and poured the tiny snacks into her mouth. Giggling her mouth full of half chewed food she pushed one into Astrid's mouth. They both started giggling until they were lying on the floor laughing. "Nut ball."

A sudden explosion of splinters and wood knocked the front door of the tiny apartment out. Both of the girls screamed, before Skylar was knocked down by a large piece of wood. Her head slammed into the floor and in a daze she stared with fuzzy eyes as a monster entered. The entire thing was fuzzy from head to toe. It had long sharp horns like a bulls poking out of the top of it's head and when it roared Skylar thought her ears were going to burst.

Unable to push the piece of door off of herself, Skylar was forced to watch in horror and the beast strode towards her little sister. Cleo screamed loudly and tried to push herself away from the approaching monstrosity. It clambered forward towards her with a hunger. Tears streaking down her face Skylar yelled out in attempt to grab the monsters attention, but it was stuck on Cleo. Looking at Skylar with fear in her eyes Cleo cried out, "Skylar-" before the monster was on her. It was her last plea for help.

Endless screams and shrieks later the monster finally left. Skylar's eyes never left her sister the entire time she was being ripped to shreds. Finally managing to wiggle her way out from under the wood she scrambled over to the bloody body of her sister and cradled her in her arms. Tears dripped down her face and she sobbed, head buried in the bright, stained coat of Cloe's. Her sister was dead and it was entirely her fault.

The next days, weeks, months, were all a blur to Skylar. She was so torn up and blaming herself about her sister's death that she was completely ignorant to everything around her. She eventually stumbled her way into Camp Half-Blood, where she finally found out who, what she was. A half-blood. It was there she also found out what had killed her baby sister. It was the Minotaur. Training herself in this camp so that she would never be in the same situation again, Skylar became surprisingly good at many different aspects of fighting. She would never let go of her anger. She would avenge Cleo if it was the last thing she did.

I had an old PJ character that I modified slightly for my intent. Could be good, could need a lot more editing, let me know what you think.
