Biography

Born in Houston, Texas to an Italian man studying to be a doctor using the city's fine medical resources, Alessandra would be the bastard result of Luca's wanton college fun between his medical studies. Pulled back to Italy when she was but a couple of years old, Alessandra does not remember much of her time in Texas. Growing up without a mother, but with a relatively wealthy and stable father, she led a mixed life somewhere between the street gangs and the middle class, often carrying a stiletto-inspired switchblade, popular in Italy, to defend herself in an otherwise mostly normal life. This pattern of brief encounters with danger and returns to normalcy would continue until she turned 17.

On week or two after her 17th birthday, Alessandra had made a return to Texas with her father, who knew what was coming. Athena claimed the young woman, and her father led her where she needed to go, trying to explain the situation as a whole. Things were rather confusing for the child, but after enough drilling and questioning, it seemed to be the only answer she got. Upon arriving at the camp, her father gave another goodbye and gave her his hopes to see her soon. She was given an introduction to everything in Greek, due to her lack of skills in English, and pushed into training. Although she proved to be inadequate at phalanx warfare and wielding heavy bronze, she demonstrated a great amount of skill in a dodgier and lighter style of fighting, which she attributed to her skill with a knife and the camp staff attributed to her being a peltast.

She faced more than a few suspicions from others around the area, mostly concerning her Italian heritage. She had faced rumors of being a Roman in disguise, although she would repeatedly work to quell such rumors. By her 18th birthday, she was mostly fluent in English, and the questions as to her authenticity had ceased. By her 19th birthday, she could speak English very well, and could even speak without a strong accent. Her fighting style had been embraced, and she had been given the lighter equipment of a peltast: a wicker shield and leather armor, in contrast to the heavy bronze.

Basics

Name: Crystal "Cryst" Rodriguez
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Bam
Ethnicity: Spanish-Mexican
Nationality: American
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 166 pounds

Demigod Information

Godly Parent: Bellona, Roman Goddess of War

  • Lustre - A double-edged sword that is composed of 50% Imperium Iron, 25% Celestial Bronze and 25% Mortal Steel
  • Imperium Iron Armour

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Biography

Born in Los Angeles, California, some could argue that Crystal Ramirez Puetra Rodriguez has had a pampered start from the very beginning. Being the daughter of Bellona, the Roman Goddess of War and located near the Roman Villa of Praetoria, Crystal was safe from the incursions of the Roman monsters. Despite this, Crystal was eventually found, with her younger brother Mark Rodriguez, by a Roman Demigod Patrol and were immediately taken to Praetoria, despite the protests of Crystal's father & step-mother. However, there was always a feeling in Crystal's gut that she would have gone to Praetoria in one way or another. Once she turned 17, she was both eligible for demigod training as well as being claimed by her mother (which promptly happened).

Crystal excelled at every single bit and piece that Praetoria offered for demigod training. She was an excellent at swordplay, could inspire and instill confidence in others and was easily one of the most promising demigods at Praetoria. It was no surprise with the death of one of the previous Praetors (Jake O'Rielly) at the hands of a roaming cyclops, that Crystal led the revenge effort to send the cyclops back to Tartarus. Taking three other demigods, Crystal set out to find and destroy the cyclops, tracking it for 4 days and 4 nights until they pinned it down in Washington State. Immediately, Crystal was one of the first ones to challenge it and then land the first blow. It didn't take long with four, angry and vengeful demigods with sharp swords cutting you down to force the cyclops' physical body to turn to dust.

Once she returned, Crystal was named the second Praetor, one of the youngest ones at the age of 19. Even though it was a huge jump from leading a few demigods to leading an entire faction of them (with the help of the other Praetor of course), Crystal quickly became accustomed to the whole Praetor-thing.

Biography

Born in Bangor, Maine to Thomas Hoffman and Athena, throughout Anthony's life, he has known only running away. Despite the strength of Tartarus when he was born, Anthony was ruthlessly pursued by various monsters, notably the Actaeon Dogs. Even though sometimes Anthony would contact his father when he was safe in a shelter, he knew in his gut that it could not go on like this. Eventually, Anthony was found by two Greek Demigods in the back streets of Boston, who offered to take him the the Greek Hamlet of Olympus near New York City (not to be confused with Mount Olympus). Despite being too young to be taken into the Hamlet, the rules were slightly bent since Anthony had come a long ways. Arriving in Olympus, Anthony quickly felt at home, despite the age difference between himself and everyone else at the hamlet.

Once Anthony turned 17, he was immediately claimed Athena and was pushed right into demigod training. Since he was the son of Athena, Anthony joined the Athena Group and was initiated quickly, being tossed into sword fighting despite lacking prior experience. Thankfully, Anthony did decently and began to learn more about the Art of Sword Fighting. Growing at an immense rate, Anthony was eventually sent on his first quest along with an Apollo demigod and a Poseidon demigod, to seek and slay the reformed Amphisbaena. Alarmingly, these three demigods managed to slay the beast, sending its soul back to Tartarus while suffering limited wounds and scratches.

Only recently has Anthony's influence grown in the Greek Faction, becoming a member of the War Council, despite not being the Head of the Athena Group.

Hubris of the Gods Application


Basics

Name: Langhorne “Lan” Eaton
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: here you go
Ethnicity: Greek-English
Nationality: American
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 178 pounds

Demigod Information

Godly Parent: Apollo (Greek)
Equipment:
  • Lan possesses a violin that was gifted to him, and enchanted by, his father, Apollo. When played in the correct manner the violin greatly enhances Lan’s ability to induce minor ailments through music. Examples of this include the A major chord making people vomit and the B minor chord giving them nosebleeds.
  • Small, celestial bronze-faced shield comparable to what a Cretan archer would have carried with them.
  • Longbow, celestial bronze arrows, and a quiver with a protective flap over its opening.
  • Samsung Galaxy S7 Active
Powers:
  • The ability to musically induce minor ailments. Without his violin this ability is so minute that any chords that may bring on nausea, nosebleeds, or weariness cause barely any effects on people. Only little children and the mentally weak feel any sort of adverse effects, and even then they are hardly felt. Also, as of now, Lan has no effect on demigods or powerful monster, such as cyclops and hydras.
  • Lan, like most children of Apollo, has impeccable aim with projectiles. This manifests mainly in his excellent archery, but he was always picked first in gym class and recess for basketball.
Skills:
  • Hand-to-hand combat is a skill Lan has worked to refine over the years. He is nowhere near as skilled as a child of Ares (or Mars) would be, but with the amount of training he has had he can pose a threat to enemies stronger than him, and he is far from useless without his violin or bow.

Miscellaneous

Personality: Loyal, slightly abrasive, irreverent, and compassionate
Strengths: Experienced and knowledgeable, inspiring, and well-rounded
Weaknesses: Stubborn, relies too much on instinct, lactose intolerant, usually over/underestimates his opponents
Fears: Dying in vain, losing his friends and family, drowning in milk, losing his sense of self
Likes: Music (classical, punk rock, rap, you name it), reading, playing sports, kayaking
Dislikes: Monsters, bigots, cows and dairy products, Mondays
Ambitions: To make a positive impact on the world
Family: Castilla Eaton (mother), David Eaton (step-father), Marcellus Eaton (half-brother), Calliope Eaton (half-sister), Albus Eaton (half-brother), Nathaniel Eaton (half-brother), Emilia Eaton (half-sister), Eleutherios Tharp (uncle)
Sexuality: Bisexual

Biography

Langhorne Clemens Eaton was born in a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland nine months after his mother, Castilla, had an affair with Apollo while she was supposed to be camping with her gal pals in Shenandoah National Park. His mother didn’t know the handsome, blonde man she was canoodling was a Greek god, but when little Langhorne was born with the same blonde hair, while she and her husband, David, had dark brown hair, that something was different about her third child. However, it wasn’t until Lan was five that Apollo appeared on the Eaton’s doorstep at their home in Bristol, Connecticut that his godly parentage was fully revealed to Castilla and David. Luckily, Castilla knew who to call as soon as Apollo left, her half-brother Eleutherios, also a demigod, but a child of Athena, not Apollo like his nephew. The gods had always taken a particular interest in Lan’s family due to the fact that they are direct descendents of Samuel Clemens, more famously known as Mark Twain. Langhorne took after the famous author and humorist, sharing his name with his great-great grandfather’s middle name.

Eleutherios “Luther” Tharp took Langhorne in, and the boy lived with his uncle in Hartford, Connecticut until he was 13 years old, when he asked to return home to his mother. In the eight years that Lan lived with Luther the boy learned all about Ancient Greece, and learned to refine his skills in the language to the point where conversations around the house took place in the long-dead tongue. Luther chose not to train the boy in any specific combat skills, but instead enrolled Lan in archery, fencing, and martial arts lessons. Lan exceeded at the first of the three, crashed and burned at the second, and progressed gradually at the third. Luther himself was a successful defense attorney, having attended law school after he left the Greek Hamlet of Olympus. He often told Lan tales from his years at the hamlet, which greatly inspired the boy to journey there when he reached seventeen. Before he entered high school Lan asked his uncle and mother to move back to Bristol, which he then did, arriving home to find a beautiful violin from his father lying on his bed with a brief note explaining the instrument’s power.

Lan’s four years of high school were as turbulent and chaotic as they are for every other American teenager, though Lan was a basketball and band star and was heavily recruited by colleges in both areas. However, he turned down every offer and instead chose to journey to Olympus after he graduated. The trek itself was dangerous, and Lan encountered many monsters, something that began to happen to him in high school too. He was given a lot of grief by a Minotaur which pursued him most of the way. The beast was killed by sentries guarding the gate of the Greek hamlet outside of New York City before they took Lan in. Almost immediately he was officially claimed by Apollo and moved into the respective cabin where he was subjected to training like he had never experienced before. This training allowed Lan to reach new heights with his archery and musical talents, while also training him in other categories that children of Apollo tend to excel at, such as healing and poetry. After training for a long time and making a name for himself among the children of Apollo throughout the Greek community in North America Lan was finally sent on his first quest with Anthony Hoffman, a son of Athena, and a child of Poseidon. Their task was to locate and slay the Amphisbaena, which they managed to do extremely well and without garnering any serious injuries. After his successful first quest, Lan has completed six others, a record in the Apollo Group, which along with his seniority has allowed him to become leader of the group and to be appointed to the War Council.

Name: Alexander Rhodes
Age: 18
Gender: M
Appearance: Something like this
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Nationality: American
Height: 5"9
Weight: 152 lb

Demigod Information

Godly Parent: Hecate, Goddess of Magic, Crossroads, Moon, Ghosts, and Necromancy
Equipment:
  • Standard Celestial Bronze Armor
  • A rather unremarkable Celestial Bronze staff, with several engravings of various symbols and shapes. It can transform into a spear when necessary.
  • iPhone 5s
Powers:
  • Mist Control: With this power, he is able to manipulate and control the Mist. He is able to twist the very fabric of reality itself, through creating illusions, altering or implanting fake memories, and changing people's perceptions of the world. However, it requires a great deal of concentration, and there are certain limitations/restrictions to what he can control. This power is typically used to trick and fool mortals, although an experienced user can fool even demigods.
  • Magic: Children of Hecate, being the goddess of magic, are able to perform and cast a variety of useful spells. While it can be extremely useful and powerful, it is essentially a double-edged sword, requiring a great deal of energy, concentration and training. Performing magic improperly can cause grievous harm to the user.
Skills: Decent with a sword/spear, proficient in defensive magic, pretty agile/swift

Miscellaneous

Personality: Alexander can be rather mysterious and cold towards outsiders; but while he prefers solitude, he can be protective and compassionate of those he cares about. In battle he is typically cautious and calculating towards his opponents.
Strengths: Quick to learn, clever, intuitive/resourceful, relies on brain as opposed to brawn
Weaknesses: Currently a relative novice when it comes to magic, not very social, typically overly cautious
Fears: The Lamia, confined/closed spaces
Likes: Privacy, dogs, nighttime, reading
Dislikes: Monsters, obnoxiousness, loudness (idk)
Ambitions: Become a powerful magician
Family: Hecate (Mother), Thomas Rhodes (Father), Cassandra Rhodes (Step-mother)
Sexuality: Heterosexual, I guess

Biography

Born in a quiet town in upstate New York, Alexander, for most of his childhood, was raised by his father, Thomas Rhodes. At an early age, he knew he was different - in a way that isolated him from the other children. Unable to control his powers, Alexander often frightened the other children, earning him the distaste of his teachers and caretakers. His father's job barely allowed them to scrape by, and since he sometimes returned late at night, Alexander had to quickly learn how to take care of himself. He rarely had any friends, and he preferred it this way, returning home from school everyday to read. Unbeknownst to him, Alexander was being protected by Hecate. He earned decent grades in school, although he was considered strange by his classmates.

By the time he turned 13, his powers, which he had tried to suppress since his childhood, took a wild turn, growing even more unpredictable and uncontrollable. His father, who knew of the true identity of Alexander's mother, was forced to reveal the truth. Having been told that his mother had left when he was just a baby, Alexander, despite his initial disbelief, would eventually come to accept it. During a brief visit from Hecate, he was given a staff, helping to better channel his magical abilities and powers. During this visit, Alexander was warned about the dangers and risks of pursuing this path. Until he became of age and could start his official demigod training, he would use the staff as an artificial method of suppressing his abilities.

Under the escort of several Greek demigods, he left the protection of his town for the Greek capital of Olympus. The trip was not without its dangers, as the group was pursued by numerous monsters, including the infamous Lamia, a fellow child of Hecate. However, the group would arrive safely at Olympus, where he was officially claimed by Hecate before beginning his demigod training. Since then, he has found a community where he could truly belong in, although he remained mysterious and somewhat disconnected from the rest of the demigods. Practicing and refining his powers, he seeks to become a powerful magician in his own right. A year after he arrived at Olympus, Alexander has become accustomed to his new life.

Biography

(At least 2 paragraphs please)

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Adrian had an, interesting, childhood. He would spend most of his early years knowing nothing of his parentage, living with his mother's family (Sean Sr. and Brandon). in an old manor in Trenton's suburbs. The large home had been in the family for over a hundred years, and was across the street from the O'Malley Funeral Home, which the family had owned for about as long. Most of the family worked there, the exception being Sean Jr. and Rachel, who owned a security company and managed a bank respectively, though they lived very close with their children. His early years fostered a love of stories, as his grandfather had many and lot them often.

Adrian's early years were spent with his uncle and aunt's family, due to his mother, uncle and grandfather working at a place unfit for a child, and so when he wasn't at school he was often with his cousins, or at his friends' houses, though those were few and far between. He had a happy childhood, for the most part, though when he was 9 he sneaked into the funeral home and was, unnerved by what he found. He would have nightmares for months afterwards.

Ultimately, the nightmares stopped when a strange figure appeared in his dreams, Thanatos, though Adrian did not know it at the time. Thanatos helped Adrian work through his fear of death and dying, but not long after the nightmares stopped he bid Adrian farewell and left his life, not to return for many years.

Adrian was changed by that experience, becoming a colder and more distant person, though he still cared for those close to him. He would continue to grow and mature, dealing with many normal issues and having a fairly normal life. He did, in fact, end up working in the funeral home when he was 14, mostly just cleaning the parlor however. It was around this time his powers began showing in earnest, with negative results. One moment things were fine, then people were suddenly terrified, or at least unnerved. It was not long before he determined he was the common link in these events, and it only got worse when he started turning invisible at random when he was 16. Luckily he was gaining greater control of his abilities, but they were still frightening him. He was able to take his mind off it a little at least by joining the cross-country and track teams.

This led Mary to decide it was time to talk to Adrian about his father, though she ultimately decided to hold off so Thanatos could come. It was shocking, to say the least, especially the realization that Adrian had met Thanatos before. Adrian understood why his father had been absent, but years of that absence had formed more than a little disdain. After a while, Adrian forgave his father, though he still felt the void in his life, as Thanatos came around very rarely. Adrian did have interest in going to a hamlet, however, he set his sights on Olympus due to proximity. He also began studying Greco-Roman mythology in great detail, gaining a dislike for Sisyphus and Heracles, though he did sympathize with the latter.

Finally, on his 17th birthday, after a warm going away party, Thanatos came and delivered him to Olympus, claiming him in the process. This was the start of a new and exciting chapter in Adrian's life, and he was both excited and nervous to begin it. For the next 3 years, Adrian studied and worked to become the best he could be, studying several martial arts, namely spear-fighting, swordsmanship and archery, though he ultimately settled on the spear as his weapon of choice, finding it complimented his physique and abilities.

When he was 19, he was given his first quest, a rather simple one really, to reclaim a lost artifact for some minor god. Not particularly dangerous or difficult, but it was a quest and that excited Adrian. Not that anyone noticed, of course. It took him three weeks to track down the artifact, recover it, and return, with more than a few monster fights along the way. Nothing too serious, but enough to give Adrian a taste of the life that lay before him. Upon his successful return, he found Thanatos waiting for him with a gift, a symbol of Thanatos's faith in his son. It was an enchants spear, a weapon which would serve Adrian well in the battles to come.

Biography

Timoteus's was born to a normal average mother, yet one who fancied herself a winemaker. Obviously, Bacchus liked her wines, and after some time, Timoteus was born.

His mother had no idea of who his godly father was. Rather, she thought him some sort of professional "wine taster"who had found her wines quite exquisite. So, Timoteus led a rather bland life, heading to a public school, until one day, when he was 13.

Timoteus had gone to sleep the night before, and when he woke up, his bed was surrounded in vines. The grape vines his mother grew during the warm months, covered in plump, ripe fruits.

It was the middle of the winter.

His mother was very kind and understanding about his powers, helping him learn about them, while also using them to make her wines better, but eventually Timoteus couldn't take it anymore.

At the age of 14, Timoteus ran away from home.

Over the course of the next month, he eventually found his way to the villa of Romulii, where he trained in the used of a staff (similar to the weapon of Bacchus), and in the use of his skills. In the meantime, he put his skills to use in the fields, providing a source of mortal coin for the villa.

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 140

Demigod Information

Godly Parent: Prometheus
Equipment:
Powers: As his name suggests Yeshe has primordial knowledge of world, the gods, and existence. He catches glimpses of forbidden knowledge which gives him insight into the past and the future about persons, places, and things but has absolutely no control over his ability.
Skills: As a trauma nurse Yeshe is highly versed in basic medical practices, first aid, crisis management, and life saving emergency techniques. He can forge a convincing fake identity for himself that is good enough to find a job, a bank account, and an apartment but never quite good enough to avoid the scrutiny of his father and other immortals - so he has also gotten amazingly good at packing and traveling light.

Miscellaneous

Personality: Yeshe is usually withdrawn but he is not introverted. In fact like his father he is compelled to help humanity even when he doesn't want to.

Ambitions: Live like a normal person.
Family: Samantha Marie Windot (Mother), Dr. Jason Martin Windot PhD (Prometheus/Father)
Sexuality: Hetero

Biography
Where do I start? My real name is Yeshe and I am half titan. My father is Prometheus, the Titan who betrayed Zues to steal the ability to make fire and handed it to humanity. As a result Zeus gave Pandora her box full of evil things for a wedding gift and then chained my father to a mountain for all eternity to die each day by having his liver eaten by an eagle. He wasn't a quitter though, when Hercules rescued him about 600 years later my father went right back to making humanity great. He showed the Chinese gunpowder and they turned around to use it as a way to kill each other but because it was also used to make fireworks and level mountains to mine ores and build roads and tunnels he was content. Next came mechanization and of course those asshole mortals found ways to make it a bad thing, destroying their cities with pollution and smog so that they could build even more and better guns to kill each other with.

Next came flight and not even a decade later some asshole put a mechanized gun on an airplane and a whole new way to kill each other was born. Last but not least, the straw that broke the camel's back: Fission. My father showed humanity the key to endless and sustainable electrical power and the humans went ahead and built a bomb that can destroy an entire city in one go. You could say that the family legacy is to try to do something nice only to watch it explode in our face. Usually literally.

Dad laid low after the whole Hiroshima saga and let humanity do its own thing. He became a professor at a College! He teaches ancient fucking history to co-eds at Ivy League Schools since 1947 and that's how he met my mother. She was a student of his and titans/gods can be literally irresistible to humans they find attractive. Two years into her bachelor's degree circa 1992 they bumped uglies and of course I was the end result of that. Poppa being the kind who is compelled to 'Do right by mortals' married her and they still live together today. Mom has no idea he's an immortal from legend, and neither did I until I was just about to start senior high school. That's when the visions started.

Every teenager has nightmares, probably more than average because of all the hormones and stuff running amok in their bodies but the nightmares I was having were different. The only other people who would understand are other demigods. When you hit 17 years old you hit some kind of divine puberty which is anything other than divine. Forget hair in funny places and thinking about girls. Imagine shaking hands with a stranger and damn near ripping their arms off or eating 3 entire buckets of KFC but still being starving. Imagine if you would, looking at a random stranger and knowing for a fact that at 10:16am next Saturday they would get hit by a logging truck trying to hitch a ride after their car broke down, I'm sure you've all seen final destination... some days that is my real life.

By the way, that's my 'special' divine power, knowing shit. That's how I know you'll be reading this someday. Let me tell you: it sucks. I can't even do anything useful with it because I have zero control over it and if I try to change something, anything, it only makes it worse.

Let's go back to the logging truck example. That was Stacy Tyler, my first crush, I had convinced her to dump her basketball star boyfriend and go to the prom with me (see gods/titans are irresistible in an above paragraph) when I saw her death. So I tried to stop it; I took her out to breakfast that Saturday in MY (dad's) car instead. While I sat to eat breakfast Stacy went to the restroom and I had one of my visions. I saw the three fates finish weaving two threads together and then they smiled at me. They. Smiled. Then they used a dagger to cut them. Moments later the very same logging truck that would have run her over 25 minutes later was driving on the overpass above when a copperhead snake hiding under the floor mat bit the driver on the leg which caused him to lose control of the truck, the 8 ton out of control pile of steel and logs crashed through a cement barrier on the overpass and landed right on the diner we were at, specifically crashed right into the women's restroom.

I've tried a few other times but it also ended in disaster. I saved an ER patient only to have a fire break out in the same wing of the hospital they were admitted too and kill half a dozen people. I prevented the cutest little girl on earth from getting mauled by a vicious dog only for her parents to bury her in the back yard while she was still alive. I stopped a man from ODing on heroin and instead he got shot and stabbed by his dealer's rivals. There is no messing with fate, I've come to accept that. But I can run from it. I can run from my father, run from the fates, run from the gods and titans and the others of my kind.

Someday they'll catch me. Some day I know I will have to face my destiny. I am cursed the same way my father was. I will try to save the world and I will destroy it instead.

And then I will suffer.

Hubris of the Gods Application


Basics

Name: Sion
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://fiveouncesofpain.com/wp-content/ ... iusz-3.bmp
Ethnicity: White
Nationality: American
Height: 7'
Weight: 270 pounds

Demigod Information

Godly Parent: Mars
Equipment:

- Imperium Suit of Heavy Armor
- Celestial Bronze Sword and Shield

Powers:

- Supernatural Strength: Sion is a mountain of a man, instantly identifying him as more than mortal. He towers above weaker foes, able to take and dish out extreme physical damage, as well as jump great distances, run fast speeds, or shrug off blows twice his size from his muscle mass alone. For this reason, though not the best strategic thinker, there are a rare few creatures that can best Sion in single combat (though they may still outsize him), and those that do so are typically more skilled, rather than stronger. However, he requires large amounts of energy and he tires out easily, and has to eat huge amounts of food to power himself.
- Indomitable Will: Sion is obsessed with The Grudge, seething with rage over the injustices, real or perceived, perpetuated by the perfidious Greeks. His single-mindedness and willingness to indulge in bloodshed and violence, while often causing him to lose sight to grander schemes, allows him to resist the foulest of temptations and charms. His rage can frighten the enemy, as blows that would fell any other mortal are tossed aside, as Sion cleaves his way through soldiers with his one task - to kill Greek demigods. Additionally, this allows Sion to ignore pain and other temporary distractions, and the justness of his cause flows through his veins. Even magic can lose its touch, as his holy quest cannot be stopped. The longer he is like this the more likely he is to screw something up for everybody, however, as delicate plans are laid to waste as he charges forward, notifying the enemy to their presence. However, this works only for immediately present distractions - everyone can agree pain, seduction, or other tricks are immediately a danger. Illusions and the arcane, however, can distract him worse then they would another.
Skills:

- Brute Strength
- Combat (in particular one on one, but his massive size and strength often has him deployed to feel swathes of lower men instead)
- Sword and Shield, effective against magic.
- Strong enough to move around in heavy like one would in normal armor.[/list]

Miscellaneous

Personality: Sion is always cognizant of his duty; when not fighting, he is training. When not training, he is eating. And when not eating, he is sleeping. For what little leisure time he has, he dedicates his time to pursuits that improve his physical form. Be that wrestling, combat training, or a simple jog, he enjoys reaching towards physical perfection in every way he can. Mars knows his strengths lie there, and not elsewhere - he is a terrible conversationalist.
Strengths: Physical strength, willpower, ability to follow orders.
Weaknesses: Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Fears: Failure, getting fat, abandonment by his own side.
Likes: Combat, sports,
Dislikes: Math, academics, "boring" hobbies.
Ambitions: Eliminate the Greek demigods from existence.
Family: Mars (father), Sera Kart (mother).
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Biography

Sion was always a large child. His single mother, Sera, had been a US Army Soldier in her past, giving birth to hm after she had retired from service. His mother's habits engendered in him a love for the physical, and the strength he had from nature was always attributed to his father - although she always vague about the specifics of this absent parent.

Excelling in posts throughout his education, but falling behind in academics, his mother began treating him more harshly for his failures. Though she was proud of his strengths, she had met far too many "macho" men in the military that favored physical prowess to the detriment of other, equally valuable, attributes. As he continually strained against he rules and attempts at making him focus on schooling, he grew increasingly resentful of her, feeling as though his own talents were put to waste.

When he turned 14, it became obvious that his strength surpasses what was normal for his age. Though a child in comparison, he could outbench men twice his age. Such strength even began to have less benevolent investigations - Sera was questioned whether or not she had been feeding steroids to her own child, as no other explanation could possibly befit such unnatural prowess. Though extremely large, he still wasn't visually as powerful as he would be in his later years. Because of these hostile investigations and negative attention, despite tests proving no steroid use, Sion was forced to drop out of sports teams, something his mother believed would also help with his failing academics.

This didn't sit well with Sion, however; after he failed class for the year, forcing him to stay back a year, he refused to stay at home. He hated his mother, he hated school, and he had no more friends after he was forced to quit the team.

However, fortune would befall him as a far less hostile investigation came. Indeed, this was from the demigods; only they truly appreciated his strength and endurance. Without even consulting Sera, Sion agreed enthusiastically to be recognized for his strengths, rather than his failures, and was whisked away to a Roman Villa, where it became readily apparent he was the son of Mars, the god of violence and combat. His training brought to light traits he never knew existed; utter fearlessness, a love of bloodshed, and a passion of hatred for the Greek Gods of the West. This gave him pride bordering on arrogance, as well as single-minded, boring worldview.

Biography

Born in San Diego, Harper’s upbringing was a difficult, and unstable part of her life. Her mother was often away at sea, serving her country in the United States Navy, and thus, wasn’t always a part of her daughter’s life. Instead, Harper spent much of her childhood with her grandparents. While they were always loving, Harper never felt truly at home with her Grandparents. Instead, Harper spent much of her childhood waiting and daydreaming that her mom would return and whisk her away, and never leave her alone again. But it was merely a dream.

Fortunately, or perhaps more unfortunately, Harper was born behind enemy lines in Roman territory. Despite this, Harper was well into her teenage years by the time the Romans found her.

Despite her Grandparents doing everything they could to give Harper a good upbringing, it was never enough for Harper. She was always restless. Often running away from home, or getting involved in petty crime. At age thirteen, Harper’s mother was killed in the line of duty, which only further exacerbated her rebellious nature. Her delinquency came to a head at the age of thirteen. Harper and several of her friends stole a car, but were soon pursued by the police. In the ensuing chase, Harper accidently sent the car careening over a guardrail, and straight into the ocean.

Though Harper had never swam a day in her life, she managed to escape from the car, and one by one pull each of her friends to safety. After that incident, Harper’s life changed perhaps for the better. Her grandfather sat her down for a talk, and told Harper this wasn’t what her mother would have wanted. The path that she was leading would only end in misery, and that if she didn’t get her act together, she wouldn’t be able to live with her Grandparents any longer, the only home she had ever known.

Harper joined her school’s swim team, and by the time she entered High School, she was the reigning state champion in each of her events. By the looks of it, Harper was well on her way to the Olympics. But, with her fame at Swimming came the suspicion by the Roman Villas that perhaps Harper was a Demi-God. Their suspicions were proven correct when Harper was attacked by monsters at a swimming competition. In the ensuing chaos, both of Harper’s grandparents were killed by the monsters, shattering Harper’s world. Just before she would have joined her Mother in the Underworld, the Romans came to her rescue, forcing the monsters to flee, and taking Harper into their custody.

When it became apparent that Harper was in fact Poseidon’s daughter, the Romans ended up sending her eastward, to Mount Olympus. Once at Mount Olympus she began to integrate into her new life with great difficulty, but with the help of Anthony Hoffman and others, she was able to come to terms with what had transpired, and what her new life was. After being claimed by Poseidon, Harper was pushed through demi-god training at which she passed with little difficulty in no small part due to her athletics.

She was part of the quest with Anthony to slay the Amphisbaena, which miraculously did not end in failure. But, because of her reckless nature, Harper put the whole quest in jeopardy when she charged headlong into the Amphisbaena’s lair, rather than proceeding with caution. She earned herself a nasty scar as a daily reminder of her failure.

Biography

Born into a German Family in the Harz Mountains, Cordelia was pretty happy for most of her life. However, she was mostly confined to her family's castle, due to their introverted fears about her physical quirks. Cordelia didn't much care about this, but soon she got interested in the concepts of warfare and combat. She did so much research into this that she caught the attention of Mars, whom she was actually descended from. She was intrigued by this, since she had always kept her disproportional strength a secret from her parents.

She also found the existence of the Roman Gods interesting, and found it preferable to her boring static life in the castle. She asked to go with Mars, and he agreed, taking her back to a Roman Villa to give her he training she needed. Nowadays she's still relatively inexperienced, but is also quite handy in combat. One quirk about her is that she loves buying anime-related merchandise, which has made her an oddity among the other demigods.
