  Weight: 54 lbs
  
  
  Body type[Athletic, Skinny, lanky, etc.]: Skinny, mostly due to how fast she's growing

  Godly Parent: Hades, though she doesn't know this yet
  
  
  Special Ability[2 at most]: Spirit communication - It's incredibly easy for her to talk to spirits, ghosts, etc. Though because she's young she can't talk with them for extended periods of time, or she starts getting a headache, then she gets nosebleeds, and then blacks-out.
  
  
  As she gets to know herself and her powers she'll realize that, with practice, she can summon skeletons, zombies, and the such.

  Outer Personality: Odette is very quiet and shy. She isn't very sociable by herself, though she does like people and being around others very much. She is polite and formal, and wants to always do her best at everything she can. She clearly doesn't like when people do things for her, as she is very outwardly independent, just like her mother. The little girl looks up to strong individuals, wanting to learn how to be strong herself.
  
  
  Inner Personality: Once Ode warms up to someone she is very playful and energetic, wanting to run around and play games and things. She's very girly, liking to wear dresses, and skirts. Liking to pick flowers, and wear jewelry, although she's aware that it isn't all that practical. She is more willing to rely on someone the more that she knows them, although she still wants to do most things on her own. She always wants to do something, and doesn't like being very idle.
  
  
  Fears: Spiders, thunder, drowning
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  History/Background: Odette was born to her father Hades, and her mother Synthia Montgomery. Hades, though Ode knows him as Hank, left Synthia before the little girl was born, not wanting to get attached as he knew that he would have to leave them eventually. Even though he left Synthia still loved him very much, and so does Odette, as she believes her father died in a car crash before she was born. Synthia has managed to raise Odette on minimum wage, keeping their heads above water as she never wanted to give her sweet girl up. Because her mother was often away and working, Odette became a very strong, and independent little girl.
  
  
  Odette has always been able to see things that no one else can, ghosts and things. She's told her mother, and Synthia said that she believes her but that no one else will. So the girl listened and kept quiet about it, though it never stopped her from trying to talk to them and help them. Though it wasn't long before some of these things started trying to hurt her. Not all of them, all the time, but sometimes she would get grabbed, or pushed, sometimes one of them would throw something at her in school and she would get blamed for it. This was when her mother pulled her out of school and began explaining things. Odette tried to understand, and she knows that her father is a mythical God who helps spirits, like she wanted to. She knows that some of them want to hurt her and that now she should stay at Camp Half Blood. At least for the summer. She isn't aware that she might have to stay longer.

Sorry it took me so long to get a CS out. I've been really busy with college and moving. I hope this is okay.

  Heterosexual//Straight
  
  
  Dat Of Birth:
  
  
  May the 25TH
  
  
  Eye Color:
  
  
  She is Heterochromatic. With one dark brown//crimson and set right eye, and a bright and fair//hazel left eye. You might think, but the sun doesn't effect either eye at all, not noticeably anyways.
  
  
  Distinguishing marks:
  
  
  Her Heterochromatic eyes are a first go to if she has something quite distinguishing. The second is a tattoo she got when she turned 15, and the one she got while away from camp a couple months ago. The first is on her right shoulder//upper arm, and her latest tattoo, the one gotten a couple months ago.
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  The second is her first tattoo and located on her left shoulder//upper arm. "Received" when she was 15, the tattoo is definitely her favourite and represents her father. Even if he's somewhat abandoned her, she is still proud of her lineage.

  Weight:
  
  
  120lbs//60Kilos
  
  
  Body type:
  
  
  Toned and Athletic
  
  
  Physical Strength:
  
  
  She has a bit more than the average person's strength, seeing as she trains everyday and she is the offspring of a God, just like the others. She could lift a max 15 kilos in a session, and pushups and things of the sort are easy for her, so the odds of her strength are pretty good. And then there is the strength she uses in her climbing. While young she practiced parkour, and her hands have an amazing grip, so this builds her strength alot. ((She still climbs alot))
  
  
  Physical Weakness:
  
  
  She can take pain well, but big enough blows will get her to the ground easy, unfortunately. Wet surfaces on her hands when she grips have shown to lessen her grip completely, and thats bad when having to flee in wet weather.

  Special Ability:
  
  
  × At a young age, living in a the largely populated San Jòse, Costa Rica, there was plenty to climb and so even before she joined her gang she began practicing parkour along rooftops and in the streets. Then one day she started to fall, from quite a high place. And when she reached out to grip something she most definietly did; A bar above, quite thin, slippery, nothing you would imagine could easily be grasped. Alas she was saved and from then her hands have always been able to save her, they hold an extremely mysterious grip, she could climb most anything. Though it hasn't been often she has used it in rain//on wet surfaces
  
  
  × Rèy is fast. She is fast and she is not afraid to say it. It accompanies her parkour and climbing skills. When on foot she doesn't waste time in leaving others behind her. She developed this skill when having to run from the Minotaur. She would have to go on foot at one point, and this incident brought forth her ultimate speed, she could accompany a Husky at full speed anytime.
  
  
  Unfortunately for her she did not inherit the usual Hermes child ability of being able to unlock things with her mind. But she can still get around

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  Outer Personality:
  
  
  Rèy is quite a bundle of badass and sunshine, with a little bitch mixed in and some sarcastic to season. She can be quite the charmer and the flirt when she gets to know someone, and is often the life of the party. ((If ever there is one)) She is rarely seen without her mischeivous pursed lips or her devious smirk and she always knows more than you do. At least she likes to think that. Cynical? Yeah? Sometimes. Straight forward? Definitely. Rèy is never afraid to tell it how it is and make her point clear, with the usual Rey level of caution of course. Childish behaviour is almost always present but it doesn't mean that she has any less maturity than others, in fact, what with her upbringing and being exposed to so many things as a younger girl she has every right to say it. Some of those things she never should have seen or heard. And here is where the demons lie. They come forth when you get her angry or insult her, which can be very easily if you "say all the right things " and when she is reminded and she can't help but express "publicly" that she most definitely does Not feel any good. She usually takes it out by hanging out in a really tall tree.
  
  
  
  
  
  Inner Personality:
  
  
  Inside Rèy is a great bundle of emotion, the most present being Fear or Hopefulness. She doesn't express alot of her demons, and her much darker demeanor, and that's a good thing. She constantly never stops worrying about others more than herself, even if she doesn't show it, and it kills her when she can't help someone or make them happy. She is the typical Gemini and as she is always reading the stars, she understands even her own emotions. And she understands her emotions and others are complicated too.
  
  
  
  
  
  Fears:
  
  
  Rèy worries about alot of things, and alot of other people, but she can fear a couple things alot more. Death for one is always apparent, especially when you are a demigod. There is a fear of never seeing her father a second time. Yeah, she's seen him. Took some time to find him, but she made it. There is the fear of Falling. One day she is scared when she goes to find a geip she won't, and she'll ultimately fall to her death. Last but not least is the also constant fear that she won't be able to make her mother proud with who she has become, wherever she is now.

  History/Background:
  
  
  Rèy was born in Central America, Costa Rica. Her mother was not on a good path with the force and her theiving after Rèy turned 3, and by the time she was 10 she was already all over the stuff of legends and myth. Her mother had told her everything, finding that it would be easier for the both of them if Rèy knew, and when the time came, she wouldn't be so badly in the dark.
  
  
  At the age of 11 Rèy started learning Greek among her Spanish, and she differentiated between accents very well, picking up Greek quickly. Of course, she could speak English fluently aswell, that her mother taught whilst growing up, among Spanish.
  
  
  And at the age of 11 Rèy was already apart of a gang, one her mother knew not about. They were the usual rebels kids but Rèy was alot more mature by then, knowing not to smoke too after trying once, but occasionally drinking after she turned 15 and was still in the gang. Though, she had become an athlete at school, and a slight of hand star, even her art was a sight to behold. The day her mother found out about where Rèy was every day after school, was the day that she lost her "somewhat" normal life. Rèy was celebrating her 16th in a couple weeks on the 25th of May and after a large fight, and Rèy trying to assure her mother in all languages that she wasn't going behind her back with her secretive ring, they were interrupted by a Minotaur. Lost story short Rèy's mother, who's name was Ròsa by the way, had Rèy out of there in no time. She even had bags packed, and with their personal business, money for every little thing she needed packed was not far from reach. They travelled far, Ròsa using what she knew to escape the clutches of the monster after Rèy. It took a total of 3 days and on the 4th day Rèy lost her mother on the outskirts of the camp. She could not follow, she could not fight the beast, so it was inevitable. There's a couple extra couple demon's for you.
  
  
  Rèy has been at camp ever since that day, and has been on to Quests since then. She excels in her art, still. In knife throwing, stealing from mortals, and still the slight of hand. She even enjoys telling story of her gang days as a younger girl, people often do luke to hear again and again. If she still had her mother she knows she would leave camp all the time to see her, but now, she just see's her in her imagination. And incase you were wondering, the Hermes kids did celebrate her 16th birthday afterall. They even got her a cake.
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  Weapon:
  
  
  A collection of proffesional and always kept Throwing Knives. She keeps them on her with a pouch attached to whatever bottoms she is wearing, she hardly wears skirts or a dress. The pouch is leather and a nice copper colour. These are her main weapon(s). But she does have the skills to weild a short Sword, a Bow ((though she is somewhat terrible)) and other basic weapons found around the camp, including a Hatchet.
  
  
  × Her grip grants her an amazing shot when she throws daggers, even darts when she is feeling up to it. Her aim can't be mistaken with her small collection of throwing knives on her and there to keep her company.
  
  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  × She has all twelve of these stacked and just placed together in her leather pouch, ready as always.
  
  
  × 12 of them are Silver, and the other 12 are Celestial Bronze. One however, is a shinier gold than the others and a granted gift from Hermes, to her mother, to her. It is Imperial Gold, but no-one knows that just yet.
  
  
  ((Ignore the "pouch" in the photo))
  
  
  Other:
  
  
  × When in her gang, she was one of three main "runners" or "messengers", able to make her way around easily, and her people skills helped out well too
  
  
  × As a toddler her mother would sing her funny made up songs about the God's, and even though she knew about the Greek God's, she and her daughter had only the one.

  Gender: Female
  
  
  Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
  
  
  Eye Color: Chocolate
  
  
  Distinguishing marks[Optional]: Large claw scar on her right shoulder blade
  
  
  Height: 5' 6"
  
  
  Weight: 145 lbs.
  
  
  Body type[Athletic, Skinny, lanky, etc.]: Lean though muscular
  
  
  Physical Strength: Zahra is great at wielding a sword, and quickly memorizing her opponents movements and finding their patterns.
  
  
  Physical Weakness: Zahra isn't great with hammers, or heavy weapons. If she is fighting with others, she can get too caught up in protecting them that she herself will get injured.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Godly Parent: Zeus
  
  
  Special Ability[2 at most]: Channeling Electricity - When she wants to, or when her emotions get out of control she can 'control' electricity. Because she's suppressed her powers so often it's really easy for her to accidentally overload. She has to be calm always otherwise she literally begins to crackle
  
  
  Aura of Energy - Regardless of whether or not she wants it, people close to her feel her confidence, and her calmness.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Outer Personality: Zahra on the outside is a very calm and collected person. She emits a sense of leadership, which people immediately respond to. Because of this she can be pulled into the spotlight without really wanting it. She is sweet and kind to most people, unless they've given her a reason not to like them. Zahra can be quite slow to anger, but she's also slow to forgive and she isn't shy about who she doesn't like. Outwardly she likes her father very much.
  
  
  Inner Personality: Zahra is terrified of leadership, too worried that she'll make a mistake and let everyone down. She feels like she is always on the verge of a mental breakdown. She had trust issues, worried that if someone gets too close to her than they'll get hurt. She wants to just not be a demi-god and to be a normal teen girl with normal teenage problems. Part of her wants to blame her father, and so if she let's her guard down, she'll let you know that she's a little bitter.
  
  
  Fears: Those around her dying, failing, letting people down
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  History/Background: Zahra was born to her father Zeus and her mother Olivia. Surprisingly enough he decided to stick around for the first month of her life. Ages ago Zahra used to have a picture her mother gave her of her father cradling her gently as baby Zahra went to sleep. The girl has long since gotten rid of the photo, burning it in a fit of rage she so rarely has. She has known ever since she could remember that her father was the great Greek God Zeus, her mother knew it would simply be easier that way.
  
  
  Her mother never put Zahra into public school, deciding it would be easier to just homeschool her, that way it was easy to move around. They never really had a home, not really. They rented small little one bedroom apartments, sometimes they didn't even have the money to do that so they'd sleep in her mother's car. But this never bothered Zahra. She was more upset that her father, this grand figure, this 'King of the Gods' didn't even bother to help them. Not once. Her mother was stressed out and Zahra couldn't do a thing to fix it.
  
  
  They'd always manage to outrun whatever monsters might be after Zahra, because her mother simply couldn't give her daughter up. But then one time when the fourteen-year-old Zahra went out to get groceries she came back to find a large canine like creature, devouring her mother's dead body. And she herself might have been dead too if it weren't for her mother teaching her how to think on her feet. The creature charged her, just as she was turning around, giving her a large gash on her shoulder.
  
  
  Zahra managed to run into the police and promptly passed out from blood loss. She woke up hours later in the hospital, and immediately tried to leave. She almost got to the door and then the cops stopped her but, for the first time, her powers took over and she accidentally blew out the power on the entire first floor of the hospital. In the panic and the confusion she took off, somehow managing to land somewhat on her feet.
  
  
  One would think that she was a Hermes kid with how quickly she took to the streets, picking up wallets and snatching IDs so that she could get passports, so that she could stay on the run for as long as she could manage. Picking up odd jobs here and there for extra cash, and dropping the name Zahra and going by whatever her ID said at the time. Constant moving, thieving, and running was her life now. She didn't have the time to accept anything else. One night, on the rare nights she got some sleep, he feather spoke to her. Told her to go to New York. Go to Camp Half-Blood. Zahra considered not listening to his words but eventually decided that, if they could help her she would have to take it.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Weapon: Zahra has two small pocket knifes, one from her mother and the other stolen. One was a gift her mother got from Zeus, and made of Celestial bronze. Her mother gave it to Zahra at the age of thirteen.

• 
  
  
  Outer Personality: This kid is very cocky as he believes he could have any girl he wanted. He's very arrogant because he does have the ability to have things his way. When he hears someone talking about his tattoo, let's just say the other demigods are lucky he's not a child of Hades. He gets very angry. The tattoo wasn't his idea. It was an effect of his claiming, as well as being extremely handsome for about a week.
  
  
  Inner Personality: He does have a soft side, the same way love does. Not all love is perfect all the time. He's soft on the inside, a complete opposite of the facade he puts out.
  
  
  Fears: Being alone and swimming
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  History/Background: Where to begin? Let's start with where he was born. Stefan was born in Phoenix, Arizona. He never met his mother, because as soon as he was born, she left him with his father, never to be seen again. This crushed Adam Blake for years. As he grew, Stefan often asked questions about his mom and why she left, only to be ignored as his father spent a lot of time at work or the casino while Stefan was forced into daycare. Once he was twelve years old, Stefan's criminal record was full of acquittals from thefts of anything from candy bars to a dirt bike. Having had enough, Mr. Blake drove his son to the nearest police station and waited until he was in handcuffs before driving off. Stefan was only at the station for a few days until his social worker came by and bailed him out, then put him on a plane to Long Island, New York, where he then hitchhiked to Long Island Sound, feeling some sort of pull in that direction, and that's how he stumbled on Camp Halfblood.

Only one character and also if you choose the son of Aphrodite you need to decided between the charm speak and Amokinesis. You cannot have both of those.

No problem! Thanks. I'm picking Stefan. I'll change his power.
