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.

Equipment: Imperial Iron Danish Axe reinforced with traces of Celestial Bronze and embroidered with various designs, Imperial Iron Trondheim sword, Wooden circular shield, and Imperial Armor chainmail
Powers: Berserker- Asmund has the ability to enhance strength, speed, and reaction time for a short period of time that allows him to overpower opponents much more powerful than he is. The only drawback to this is that once the effects wear off, Asmund is depleted of almost all of his energy, leaving him vulnerable for quite some time until he can recover.
Skills: Strength- Asmund's strength is unparalleled among the Demigods, which he takes advantage of with the weight of his axe that can cut through even the toughest of opponents
Miscellaneous
Personality: Asmund is a fairly sociable guy, often joking around with others and playing practical jokes on those unfortunate enough to be targeted by him. However, when angered, Asmund's emotions are nearly uncontrollable, to the point that even his own allies have to be careful of what they say and do lest they meet his wrath.

Biography
The son of Matti Sisu, a former United States Army Ranger who later worked as a private military contractor, and a woman who, unbeknownst to Matti, the Roman war goddess Bellona, Asmund was destined for conflict in his life. With the disappearance of his mother shortly after his birth as well as his father's constant trips to conflict-ridden places across the world, Asmund was forced to learn how to care for himself from a young age. While most children would've turned to drugs, sex, and alcohol, Asmund instead placed his passion in competitive powerlifting, winning several competitions along the way. While in school, he performed exceedingly well in every kind of physical sport available, from wrestling, hockey, football, and rugby. He was also known as a savior to the less socially-fortunate students at his school, as anyone caught trying to bully others by Asmund were lucky to be able to walk home afterward.
When the time to graduate high school came upon Asmund, a variety of different opportunities were laid before him as his physical prowess caught the attention of many athletic recruiters. However, Asmund decided to follow his passion with powerlifting and began to train to compete in the Olympics as a powerlifter.
However, his world was turned upside down when he was given two pieces of equally dramatic news. The first was that his father had been killed overseas during one of his contracts, leaving Asmund a rather large sum of money to do with what he pleased, although his grief for his loss prevented any sort of happiness. The second piece of news was that his mother had returned to not only meet him, but to explain that he was, in fact, half-human and half-god, a demigod. Her mother had fallen in love with her father, a man who's lineage could be traced to the Vikings of Scandinavia, and after Asmund's birth, she disappeared from their lives, as was the custom of the Gods, although she always kept an eye on the two.
Both of these revelations were too much for Asmund, and he lost control of himself. By the time he'd finally regained control over himself, several buildings and various properties in his hometown were severely damaged and even destroyed by Asmund's uncontrollable fury. While the mortals claimed it was a freak blizzard that caused the damage, Asmund feared that he'd be found out.
Thus, at the beckoning of his mother, Asmund traveled south to where his mother had described a place where people like him resided. Eventually, Asmund found himself alone at what should have been a busy bus stop. It was then when two figures approached him, instructing him that he was to follow them. Not knowing what else to do, he complied.
It turned out that these people were indeed like him, children of the Gods. They fought against the various monsters and beings that Asmund had thought to have been only stories. They were scattered throughout the United States, where they trained and lived together in isolated communities away from the mortal world. Asmund was to join their ranks, and with no other place to call home, he obliged.
A year and a half later, Asmund has now become a full-fledged member of the Legion, albeit with his own quirks to him. While most of the Legion fought with the traditional weaponry of the Ancient Romans, Asmund decided to call upon his ancient roots and fitted himself as the Vikings of old did. Due to this uniqueness, Asmund was often used as more of an Auxillary type troop within his Cohort, being used to crash through enemy positions and take on the tougher enemies.

Height: 5'6

Godly Parent: Lyssa
Equipment: Dual celestial bronze swords, a small dagger that's tied to the side of her leg, and during battle she normally has a celestial bronze breastplate and all the good armor stuff.
Powers: Caly can cause a frenzy state among her enemies, causing them to panic and scatter.
Clay herself can also enter a berserker mode. Or it's more like rabies. She becomes extremely aggressive and attacks anything she sees as a threat.

As a drawback, she uses up a lot of energy in this state, all the damage she took comes to her altogether, and she's usually out for a long time afterwards.
Skills: Very gold swordsmanship. She definitely knows how to out duel someone. She's also fairly agile.
Miscellaneous
Personality: She's pretty much what you'd expect from a girl who's the daughter of rabies itself. She has anger issues, and a lot of them. So much so hat she can barely control herself at times when she's angry, and it doesn't take...too much to get her angry. At times she'll also have seemingly random outbursts and maybe push someone around, but she always regrets it soon afterwards. Despite her anger, she does regret what she does...quite a bit, actually. She also has a very simple mind. She doesn't bother to try and understand complex concepts, or at least the ones she doesn't care about, and you may have to dumb things down a bit for her to understand you.
Strengths: Is a pretty lethal tank, and she's a bit stronger than most other people, though she cannot rival to a child of Ares.
Weaknesses: Doesn't think things through. Charges into situations blindly. She's also just not the brightest bulb.
Fears: Small, enclosed places, needles, and clowns, surprisingly.
Likes: Warm temperatures, some sci-fi stuff, pottery (terrible at it), and pop music.
Dislikes: Country music, insects, feeling weak, being unable to act, country music, cold temperatures.
Ambitions: long term? Have a successful career and a good life. Maybe he a veterinarian like her father. Short term? Just control her anger issues and protect her friends.
Family: Her mother is Lyssa, her father is Finlo Kissack, and is related to other demigods, technically. Her godly grandmother is Nyx and grandfather is Ouranos
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Biography
Caly's father was a veterinarian, and she was born on the Isle of Mann, a sort of unknown island that lays off the coast of England, but it has its own culture and whatnot, of course. Her father was a well know veterinarian, and his taking care of animals, for some reason of another, got the attention of Lyssa, the goddess of rabies, of all people. They had a short, hit it and quit it scenario. It was more of a one night stand if anything, and oh boy did that woman drive him absolutely crazy. Having seen her not in bed with him the next morning, he was a bit upset, but kept it business as usual.
It wasn't long after until, on and off, they'd meet up. Lyssa teased the man. She'd show up, seduce him, they'd have a night, and she'd be gone the next morning. It drove him absolutely bonkers. He was playing some game of cat and mouse. He yearned for this woman. He needed this woman! Of course, it wouldn't be long until Lyssa had gotten pregnant.
The basket showed up one day on Finlo's doorstep. A note was attached to it. Even though he never read it before, he knew the handwriting that was border lining on chicken scratch belonged to the woman that had always teased him. He couldn't believe that their escapades had resulted in a child, but he didn't dare complain. This was a testament to his time with the woman, and he was so crazy for her that he would hold onto anything involving her that he could get his hands on.
After a few years, due to some turn of events that was either random chance or fabricated by the gods, Finlo had to move to Canada. Nova Scotia, to be exact. There he found a pretty decent job where he could put his skills to good use. He had a good living there, at least.
Meanwhile, Caly was trying to grow up, and she was having a lot of problems growing up. During school she would randomly get aggressive and start bullying the other kids. Her father just said this was an effect of getting used to a new environment with all new people, even though she had this problem back in the UK anyways. Despite this, she was able to make some friends, even though she often snapped at them.
Let's skip a while later since nothing interesting really happened. At the age of seventeen she had an interaction with her mother. Just being near her drove Caly crazy, though she was able to understand her mother's explanation. She was a daughter of a goddess, and she needed to get to a hamlet. Her mother disappeared and soon afterwards she was approached by another demigod who explained basically the exact same thing to her before leading her to the hamlet in Nova Scotia.
As soon as she stepped into Katoroklos, she was claimed by her mother, Lyssa, and put into training. She quickly excelled in combat, especially with her two swords, and was able to become a rather skilled fighter. While she mostly stays at the hamlet, she sometimes goes out and meets her father, but she doesn't do so often because...it could be dangerous.
Aaaand now we're where the rp starts now.

He is also able to create an aura that can either make people feel at ease, at home, and boost morale, or the opposite, depending on his emotions.
Skills: Skilled with his blade, though not as honed or talented as other demigods, Harry is more suited to a backseat role, keeping morale up, helping with logistics and navigation, setting up camp, cooking, etc.

Biography
It is a common joke among the MacEacherns that they have no home but everywhere. A family originating in Scotland, before moving to Ulster in the 16th century, and after that, migrating west to the Americas. Harry comes from a branch that migrated back to Scotland in the early 19th century, before eventually heading to Burma. His grandfather returned to Britain in 1950, and the family settled near London, in Berkshire. Why Hestia was drawn to a family so unsettled, especially after her oath never to marry, is known only to her. Kevin MacEachern ended up with a half-god as his son, and has so far refused to divulge how he was born, leading most to speculate that a process similar to that of Athena and her children took place.
Harry spent most of his childhood in Maidenhead, unaware of his true origins, visiting relatives in distant countries, and not-so-distant ones like Scotland and Ireland. His father took him to Canada near his 17th birthday, ostensibly to visit relatives, and revealed to him the truth of his origin, though not who his mother was. He was then left at Katoroklos to train for a year, before heading to Olympus where he was claimed by Hestia, to the surprise of many. Since then he has been in training, and helping around whichever hamlets he was most needed at.

Hubris of the Gods Application
Basics
Name: Jackson Roger
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Nationality: Canadian
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 148
Demigod Information
Godly Parent: Hermes
Equipment: A rather… special pair of winged shoes. They are almost completely made out celestial bronze (front, back and sole). Since most of his strength is from his legs, Jackson is able to adequately lift and wear them like ordinary shoes. In terms of flying, the shoes ability relies on their wearers stamina and overall health. The more tired he is, the clumsier the shoes will act in the air.
Powers:
Speed: If Jackson inherited anything from his godly parent, it was their speed. Combined with quick reflexes, he is incredibly agile and fast on the battlefield.
Quick Hand: If something is suddenly missing off your person, chances are, it was his doing. He is adept at “borrowing” things from people without them ever noticing, even right in front of their eyes.
Skills:
Jackson’s charm can often turn the tides in his favour in terms of getting on one’s good side. In terms of combat, he has spent countless years training in Taekwondo (and a little Capoeira) to earn his third degree black belt. Relying on most of his training previous from arriving at any Greek camp, Jackson’s fighting style is unique compared to other demigods and is often reliant on complex kicking techniques.
Battle Theme: This
Miscellaneous
Personality: An overall jokester and friendly individual, Jackson is rather easy to get along with. Despite his tendency to steal from others, they’re always intended as a joke and should not be taken too seriously. No matter what happens he will try to keep a rather happy demeanour going, which often serves a beacon of hope for his friends, however he instead simply bottles up his emotions as he doesn’t want to let anyone see him in pain. Oh yeah, and he’s also a pervert so there’s that.
Strengths: Skilled with using his feet/ legs in a fight, agile and acrobatic, and serves as a beacon of hope and charisma for his allies.
Weaknesses: On the battlefield, Jackson can be rather cocky and overconfident in his own abilities. While Jackson can no doubt dish out quite a powerful attack, he unfortunately lacks the strength to take one. While he’s not necessarily fragile, he’s not as muscular as some of the other demigods at his combat level and because he relies on speed in a fight, he cannot wear any armour as his shoes already weigh enough on their own.
Fears: Giants, ice, and starvation.
Likes: Video games, soccer, comic books, undergarments, cola and cleaning.
Dislikes: Spicy food, unhygienic people, and dust.
Ambitions: To taste Coca-Cola Vanilla again after being discontinued.
Family: He is an only child who has been raised by his mother.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Biography
In Toronto, Canada there lived a woman by the name of Alice Roger. She worked as an accountant and, for whatever reason, attracted the attention of Hermes. They met in a coffee shop and after a dinner suggested on Hermes’ part, they immediately connected and began to date. Long story short, the two got married three years later. Shortly after Jackson was born, Hermes saw something unique in the baby’s eyes and declared him his personal champion. After that night, Hermes left for unknown reasons and never saw his wife or son again.
Jackson grew up as a “perfect athlete”. He was faster than his classmates, more flexible, and agile yet he lacked ambition. In fact, if he hadn’t taken up an interest in martial arts then the boy would’ve become nothing more than a geeky couch potato. But alas, he did join Taekwondo at the age 10 and his true potential began to shine. Fighting.
When he was 17, his mother (knowing the truth behind everything) sent Jackson to Hetropolus and then eventually to Olympus. From there, he rapidly began to gain the attention of the other demigods through his unique combat ability (that as it was different from what most of them were used to, was rather unpredictable), high quest completion, and constant panty raiding. It was perhaps two of these examples that earned him the respect of the Hermes cabin and made him their representation at the Council of the Greeks. Overall, he was well known by Greek demigods for very different reasons. Some praised him for being the life of the party while others groaned when he instructed them how to properly clean the floor.

Biography
Shiranui was born with unnatural snow white locks, hinting his divine ancestry to his mother. It was the reason why he was named after the light phenomena. His childhood wasn't that pleasant. He was bullied for being fatherless, for his unnatural hair, for being different due to his state as being a demigod. His farsightedness and the common ADHD of demigods plagued his studies and it is not rare for him to come home with bruises from fights that he got into with his classmates.
Middle school was some sort of solace to him. There's still those assholes who kept on pestering him for their free time but he found himself to be in the eye of the storm. He discovered his aptitude with archery during their archery classes and found himself to be welcome in the archery club, further honing his skills with the bow and putting his sniper eyes to use.
When he was fifteen, after a day of practice, he was confronted by one of the nastier bullies of his school. There was a fight and it was one against a group of highschoolers who were bigger and stronger than him. Shiranui was left beaten to a pulp and it was as if he was on death's door when his powers manifested. A bright pulse of light emitted from his body, blasting the bullies away and blinding them in the process. When the light died down, his wounds were fully healed, leaving no scratches nor bruises on his body. Before his assailants could rise up, he fled and made his way to his home.
A demonic entity blocked his way as he neared his destination, an abomination with human hands for its four legs, a torso with a gigantic fanged mouth along its stomach, and a twisted human face that looked nothing natural. In panic he grabbed his bow and fired an arrow, hitting it square on the forehead. The creature staggered but it continued to advance. As he emptied his stock of arrows, he was cornered with his back pressed against the wall.
A whistling arrow speared through the air, shining with the energy of moonlight and finding its way to the creature's heart. The creature bled of murky blood before crumpling down the ground as another arrow took it down by a headshot. Shiranui was saved by a Huntress of Artemis, which to his surprise was his club teacher. The Huntress dragged him back to his house where she explained to him and his family what he really is, what are the consequences and why. The Huntress was apparently installed in the school to look out for Shiranui and now was the time for them to leave for a Greek Hamlet overseas where he will be protected and be educated in his abilities.
He was promised that his family will be looked after while he was away. He spent five years in the camp learning the basics, the lore, meeting and knowing his half siblings, learning how to fight and use his abilities. He rose to the rank of cabin counselor for Apollo's cabin and one of the main medics of the hamlet.

Biography
Arthur Kelly was formerly a biologist growing in reputation till the death of his first wife. The shock of the event resulted in a breakdown and Arthur withdrew into the mountains of North Carolina to recover. He gained a new connection to nature which is probably what drew the interest of the goddess Demeter. Their short relationship would result in Danann ,who was named after the followers of the Irish earth goddess, before Demeter disappeared. Why she left, Arthur did not know but she did leave a letter that was not to be opened until Danann's 17th birthday.
Danann's life growing up on the farm was rather peaceful and he showed a natural talent for farming. The plants he grew always seemed more lively, produced more, and produced better tasting product. It was his natural gifts from the blood of Demeter flowing through his veins developing. By 12, Danann had discovered that he could, with a lot of effort, make plants move as he willed them. He kept this power a secret though as he realized it was not normal.
By the time of Danann's 17th birthday, he had developed his powers to the point that he make plants move with barely any effort. He opened the letter that Demeter had left all those years ago and found its contents to be instructions to him. He was to travel south to a hamlet in Georgia where people like him lived, the children of gods. His father, seeing his sons determination, approved his departure to the place his mother called him to. Danann would arrive at Accopolios at 17 and start training. That was five years ago and now he has become one of the senior leaders of the Deemter group in Accopolios.

Powers: As his name suggests Yeshe has primordial knowledge of world, the gods, and existence.

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.

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 them. Instead, Harper spent much of her time with them waiting and daydreaming that her mom would return and whisk her away, and never leave her alone again. But this wish would remain 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 decent 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 accidentally 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, shattering Harper’s already fragile world. Just before she would have joined her Mother and Grandparents 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 some of the other campers, she was able to come to terms with what had transpired, and what her new life was to become. After being claimed by Poseidon, Harper was pushed through demi-god training in 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.

Hubris of the Gods Application
Basics
Name: Anastasia "Anna" Zara (biologically Anastasia St. Cloud)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Ethnicity: Germanic
Nationality: American
Height: 6ft
Weight: 160
Demigod Information
Godly Parent: Zeus
Equipment:
A sword wrought of Celestial Bronze, passively disguised as a fountain pen, that when twisted turned into the weapon. Gifted by Zeus himself to Anastasia with a blade measuring just over three feet long. It is also able to channel lightning stored in the ram's head of the weapon.
A blade forged by Hephaestus on the orders of Zeus himself. A more modern weapon wrought of the longsword style. Mixing Imperium Iron, Celestial Bronze, and Damascus steel into a smooth mixture. Adorned with a simple wolf's head to symbolize the blade metaphorically hunting its prey. Obtained by Anastasia after winning a game of discus as a trial by Zeus. Though almost at the cost of her left hand when her gauntlet shattered against a rock during a fall. The only other ability for the sword is that it can summon its accompanying armor.
Anna otherwise carries a Corinthian style helmet adorned with white plumes and a full suit of Hoplite armor, though for practical reasons often left locked in a trunk in her room, but able to be summoned by her sword Wolves Thunder. She does possess a spear, but it has no magical abilities beyond its simple Celestial Bronze blade.
Powers: Summon Lightning: An exhausting and dangerous ability. Anna has the ability to summon (and in a limited fashion generate) lightning from the sky. Typically channeling it through her Spatha blade Dawn. However, during moments of anger she has been known to crackle with electrical energy. Though this usually only lasts a couple seconds and either ends with her feeling tired or playfully turning her anger into humor by shocking some of her peers.
Eagle's Soar: Anna can, for a limited range, fly while also bearing the same level of vision as that of an Eagle. Though this is also exhaustive and usually unable to be prolong for more than an hour at a time without needing immediate rest. Lest she pull an Icarus and fall from the sky.
Skills: Eye's of Justice: Zeus is also a God of Justice, and as such Anna has an unnatural penchant for telling when someone is lying. This intuition typically manifesting into her uncanny responses of calling someone out for their own lies.
Skilled Fighter: While her powers due grant her an edge, they are exhausting and cannot decide every engagement for her, as such she must rely on more mundane skills to survive. As such Anna can typically be seen studying weapons manuals or training with her weapons. Aside from the traditional Spear-Shield of a hoplite, Anna can be seen practicing judo, and using her two swords together in a style that some might call eccentric.
Miscellaneous
Personality: Anna's personality can be one of disguised playfulness. Often seen as serious, foreboding, and dour. This may seem deliberate, but it melts away to reveal someone who just wants to get along with others and try to formulate some degree of friendship. Though, this often is snagged by her social anxiety, righteous demeanor, and trust issues. Indeed many a would-be-friend had been turned away as a result of this personality archetype that she could not get rid of. It was a part of her, from birth, an unwavering sense of confidence grappling with crippling anxiety brought on by issues of trust and intimacy.
Strengths: Intuitive, passionate, objective.
Weaknesses: Emphatic, anxious, solitary
Fears: She has an unnatural fear of water, hydrophobia, and as such does not know how to swim.
Likes: Birds, history, linguistics, and listening to 80's rock.
Dislikes: Fish, caves, most modern rap, and obnoxious people.
Ambitions: Her general ambition is to see herself at her fathers side. Though a more practical goal would be to ensure that the Greek Gods do not end up on the losing side of whatever befalls the Truce.
Family: Zeus (Father), Claire St. Cloud (deceased, Mother), Half-Siblings being other demigods (if applicable)
Sexuality: Straight
Biography
Born in Los Angeles, California, on December 25th, 1994 to Claire St. Cloud and Zeus (though she did not know this till years later). Her mother dying during childbirth and as such she was put into child services. Her early years are but a blur to her now. Simple days of staring out at the sky, watching the birds chirp, and spending time with other low income children in a run down neighborhood of Los Angeles near her orphanage. By the age of ten she had her first contact with Zeus, in that she talked to a crow that often would land next to her. Venting her frustrations verbally to the bird as it simply stood there watching her intently. It was Zeus in disguise of course. Watching his daughter. Truth be told he had probably known of her whereabouts for far longer but she never pressed the issue. The topic of her mother was not to be discussed in her opinion. As a result she had several unresolved issues until she was a teenager. An unyielding sense of adventure, and a rebellion against authority. By age twelve she had been kicked out of four public schools for violence against other students, actions she always justified as righteous, but ended up in her almost landing in juvenile hall more than once.
Then at the age of thirteen she had first physical contact. A man appeared at the orphanage, a grey haired, bearded, tall handsome man. Speaking in a commanding voice and with a gaze that could pierce into one's soul. The man made regular visits. Talking about adopting her, sending her some place better, and deep down she could see some apologetic motive in the man. Needless to say six months to the day of their first meeting she was sent to a private property near the Adirondacks. Set up in quiet home with want for nothing. There was always food in the cabinets and the man visited frequently. School being in walking distance. She enjoyed this sense of freedom while improving as a student. Finally, a year to their first meeting the man came to her and divulged the truth. Informing her of a hamlet where children like her could go. That she should go there, for this arrangement was only temporary, and that she should be around others like her. At first she was livid. It was like being abandoned all over again. Except this time deliberate. But after several hours, reconciliation was reached, and as Anna's personality changed further from being somber to confident she was transported there. The methods of which were not made known to her. Only that she took a drink offered at the end of her conversation with Zeus. Waking up in the hamlet with all her things, and several new objects, arranged in a spartanly furnished room. Olympus. There she eventually grew into being the female leader of the Zeus group for the Greeks. Even shedding her biological last name for one of her own choosing. Believing that her destiny is wrought by her hands and not predetermined for her.

Her parent at that time was an archeologist who went for university in Los Angeles where she eventually settled in permanently. In all of those time, she met with Bacchus during a visit to a bar for happy time and hanging out with friends. One thing led to another and eventually got into marriage, although a year after she was born, Bacchus left her parent and herself so sudden, without reasons, though the fact that Bacchus visited a night club before went missing was a thing that put her mother into missing poster and then depression, unknown as to why he disappeared just like that.
She grew up well, with her mother worked as archeologist in Italy and the surrounding areas. She went to high school, where she ended up with the popular crowd despite her ethnicity background. It seemed when she was 11 her powers went active, with her first taught herself on animals accidentally. Felidae family, cats at first. As for her unrestrained consumption power, she turned it on when a group of bullies (American) who were about to bullied her because of her Asian ethnicity started to be uncontrolled, thirst of consumption for wine. No wine, but water and other liquid types. They ended up destroying properties at the school, including tap water facility, a vending machine, some lockers, one woman's bathroom, and few tables. Hurting few civilians as well.
It took her 5 years to stabilize that power even with some incidents, while for her Felidae ability she still unable to control anything bigger or more ferocious than cats. When she was 16 and on a school trip to Manhattan and rested at a rest stop, her father Bacchus met with her while on his own trip. He claimed her, although it took her some introductions to be at a terms with her father, even when she couldn't accepted some of the facts Bacchus said to her. He took her to the Roman camps in Praetoria, with her mother's reluctant permission who turned to met Bacchus once in Italy some time ago as well, explaining to her about his...godly background.
She already spent three years and despite that long years, she still quite not good enough in close combat, though her physical condition and agility had been trained for the better.

Biography
Caiden was found far outside of Wabasca in Canadian by Darius who after skidding off road to avoid a passing group of deer came across Caiden crying next to a tree. The below freezing conditions and the lack of any sign of who left the child astounded Darius who found him unaffected, believing it to be a religious sign he took the baby as his own. Returning to his home, a relatively isolated cabin in the forest. Due to the isolated and job scarce location they were in Darius lived mostly off hunting and thought it necessary to teach Caiden how to track and hunt at an early age and support himself. Even as a young boy he impressed Darius and his friends with his dead-eye skill with a bow. His relatively tranquil life was destroyed when after returning from a hunting trip he heard the sounds of screams and barking from within the cabin, bursting in he found a pack of hellhounds savaging Darius, who despite wounding one with a knife had quickly been overwhelmed. Noticing his presence they quickly turned on him forcing him to flee into the forest where he tried to fight them off.
Despite his best efforts his mortal arrows only succeeded in temporarily wounding them until they swiftly regenerated. Cornered and badly wounded he was only saved by the intervention of a group of demigods on the way to no man's land. Recognising him as a demigod they decided to forgo their quest and returned with him to the Roman Villa of Praetoria. Entering training with the rest of the 3rd cohort when he reached the age he was slow to adapt to other fighting styles, his hesitant nature caused him to miss opportunities. Although he proved competent in defence due to his ability to anticipate attacks and his reflexes he would rarely strike out.
It was only when he began archery did they suspect his parentage, though this would not make him loved. He was reluctantly claimed by Diana who recognised his ability but despised him for putting her virginity into question and that he was a man. Although unorthodox to the standardised methods of the Romans she had him treated harshly, pushed to be better. His failures caused the rest of his comrades to be punished including himself, while this made him a great warrior it did little for his self-confidence or relationship with his fellows. When he did have any interaction with Diana was uncompromisingly cold. In the final years of his training he was sent out to accomplish difficult tasks by the Praetors, often by himself or a group from his cohort.
Many of these tasks he found himself in No man's land to hunt monsters, as the frequency of their appearances increased he spent more time on the hunt, culling them to prevent their activity alerting mortals to their existence. The dangerous work did not leave him unharmed as he encountered more dangerous prey, scars collected from between the periods when he finally consumed Ambrosia, the delay to remind him of his mistakes. When he wasn't pursuing a beast of Tartarus he trained feverishly by himself or with any demigods he found himself working with on missions. The escalating situation eventually saw him being grounded in the vila until his training was completed.

While so many other demi-gods of the Roman pantheon adopted the warlike tendencies of their parents, Ms. Frye took after her mother in demeanor. Anyone talking to her may notice the dreamy quality of her speech; the wistfulness for her old life and distaste of her surroundings is clear. While so many others are blunt and upfront with their words, Evelyn is much more soft spoken in conversation and more considerate of the other party's feelings; even if she is honest about her opinions, she will try to be as inoffensive as possible when delivering them. When friends or acquaintances are in conflict, she will usually be the one to try and break them up or ease the tension in the room. She holds her identity and her core beliefs in highest regards, and, despite her normally laid-back and pacifistic mannerisms, will become vicious to anyone who tries to encroach on them. For the few friends that she has, she is loyal and supportive in their struggles.

Biography
Evelyn Frye was born to Judith Frye on February 27, 1992 in Brooklyn, New York--she grew up not even knowing who her biological father was. During the first several years of her life, she stayed with various relatives and family friends while her mother worked for the press. It wasn't until her second semester of first grade that her mother remarried to a mechanical engineer named Darrell Abbott--later in her teenage years, it would be apparent that she wasn't close to either of them. She proved to be a bright child early on, loving to read and listen to music of almost any sort; she excelled in English and other classes in the Humanities, and continued to do so into high school, although her grades in science and mathematics ranged from average to mediocre.
After her excellent track record in junior high, one might expect her to have gone straight into advanced coursework; however, Evelyn started to blow off school around this time. Despite wanting to be a journalist or a photographer--both professions requiring some kind of college education--she didn't see the need to do well in school, especially since her parents were usually not home and offered little support. She picked up smoking at the age of 16, and dropped out at the beginning of her junior year. After several heated conversations with her mother and step-father, she flew the coop and crashed with friends and family for the greater part of the following year, before eventually encountering a man claiming to be her biological father.
He gave her his number, and offered to answer any questions at a later date over the phone or in person. After several conversations, it was revealed that he was, in fact, Apollo...the Roman version. After a bit more talk and having some arrangements made, Evelyn found herself at one of the Roman demigod camps in the American West. Her general distaste for mundane work and strict attitudes quickly found the young Frye butting heads with superiors, and frequently got her extra duties assigned, which were often left uncompleted as well; somewhere down the line, perhaps in her second full year there, she learned to suck it up and just do the work...even if she did still complain about it...

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.

Biography
Cameron Thatcher was born to Anne Thatcher six months after her husband died. No-one suspected the true parentage of the boy, even though the supposed father Christopher Thatcher had been bedridden ill for a year before the boy's birth. For the first few years of Cameron's life, everything was relatively normal. However around the time he turned ten Cameron's older brother Jacob was killed while he and his mother were away. Suspiciously as soon as the investigation was closed, with no leads. Almost immediately following this Cameron and his mother moved to Colorado.
At twelve Cameron learned the truth of his brother's death and the fact he would be hunted by monsters for his entire life. Feeling like she could no longer protect him Anne made sure he was taken to Bellator nearby to where they lived. After leaving his mother and living in Bellator for a short while Cemron moved to Praetoria for six years. He trained and worked with others to learn what it meant to be a roman demigod. Returning to Bellator at 18 he was soon after claimed by his father.
Since then Cam has done little outside of Belator. He has fought a few monsters but for the most part been away from actual fighting for the last few years.

Hubris of the Gods Application
Basics
Name: Enes Cornelis
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Nationality: Belgian
Height: 5'9", 175 cm
Weight: 154 lbs, 70 kg
Demigod Information
Godly Parent: Athena
Equipment: In a pocket on the side of his belt Enes stores about two dozen half-sized pencils and three full-sized pencils. Besides being useful writing utensils, with a simple spin these pencils can be transformed into dangerous weapons. The half-sized pencils enlarge into celestial bronze-tipped bolts for the small black crossbow Enes keeps attached to his backpack, while the full-sized pencils turn into short celestial bronze-tipped spears/javelins, ready for use. Besides these weapons Enes always carries a mixed celestial bronze and steel shank. As for other equipment, Cornelis owns a plain mortal-designed laptop, useful for various reasons. Beyond these various tools, Enes has one more item, by far the most powerful of them all. From the outside it appears to be an extraordinarily worn, small leather bound journal. It is actually quite similar tp Tom Riddle's journal from Harry Potter; the book retains the consciousness of all of its previous owners, it retains all of their experiences, knowledge, and even some sentience and personality. Created well over two thousand years ago by the goddess Athena for her child Kleisthenes, the book has been passed down many, many times through the hands of demigods and even some mortals, and eventually ended up in Cornelis' hands. The book itself has observed much history, and besides being the depository of the minds of many brilliant or inspired figures throughout history, the journal is also an archive of much great knowledge. Through owning the book and bringing it with him through the course of his life, Enes is not only adding to its vast wisdom but also imprinting his own psyche into its hallowed pages, creating a lasting legacy.
Powers: An accelerated/enhanced thought process and advanced capability for acquiring and mastering new skills.
Skills: He has a brave and decisive nature. He is a good tactician, a good marksman and acrobat, and lethal with both a spear and sword. Cornelis is a person of great cleverness, and is imaginative and creative. Cornelis must possess initiative, mobility and flexibility, as well as versatility and a command of any situation, to have achieved what he has achieved and gotten where he has gotten. Other important qualities possessed by Cornelis are the following: he is a good walker and runner, he is able to stand up against fatigue, hunger, rain or heat. He knows how to hide, and how to be vigilant. He has conquered the art of dissembling. He has learned never to fear danger. He has learned to behave the same by day as by night. He has learned not to act impetuously. He has learned to have near unlimited patience, o remain calm and cool in the worst of conditions and situations, never to leave a track or trail, and not to get discouraged.
Miscellaneous
Personality: He believes that from the moral point of view, he has an undeniable superiority over his foes. This moral superiority is what sustains Cornelis. Cornelis can be overcome by great bursts of emotion, his feelings are completely unpredictable and he is far from their master. One moment he may be soaring on top of the world, the next he may be filled with cynicism and regret. Through it all, he maintains a deep love for all of humanity and for knowledge and its acquisition. This love is underscored by a tendency to trust people far too much and yet to come crashing down in rage upon those who he perceives as misguided. Due to his love for humanity and unpredictable emotional state, Cornelis is very impressionable and whoever has his ear can shape his opinions. Though the great amount of passion Cornelis has sustains and empowers him, it is also what weakens him, what causes him to make mistakes, to overlook things and to not carry things out to the end. The desire to make progress in the interests of the people is Enes' most precious quality. But his "proletarian" spirit of enterprise is entirely different from the individualist "spirit of enterprise". The former means seeking truth, upholding it and fighting for it with the greatest effectiveness. It is progressive and opens up unlimited prospects of development, while the latter offers no prospects even for the individual, for people with an individualist ideology are usually driven by their personal interest into deliberately brushing aside, covering up or distorting the truth.
Strengths: Besides those strengths explained in both the "Skills" and "Personality" section of the application, he has the strength of habitually placing the interests of the common good above his personal interests when it comes to practical matters; he is far from preoccupied with personal gain and loss and rarely calculates in terms of personal interests; he does not abuse private nor public trust, avoids turning his work to private advantage of one kind or another; he disdains to attack comrades he dislikes and to wreak private vengeance, on high-sounding pretexts of principle or "team" or "loyalty" interests (Something he has realized his siblings are quite apt at). When it comes to status, material benefits and other questions affecting everyday life, he is never found trying to get more than others, comparing himself with those at the top, diligently striving after greater personal benefits and crowing when he gets them. When it comes to work, he does not compare himself with those who are less capable. When there hard hardships to beat he makes himself readily available. In times of danger he never wants to run away. Enes recognizes that this type of self-seeking individualism often manifests itself inside in unprincipled quarrelling, factional struggle, sectarianism and departmentalism; it manifests itself in disrespect for and willful violation of Party discipline, and he directly works against displaying such behavior. Cornelis learns modestly from others, particularly from the masses, and easily accepts well-grounded opinions and criticisms. He can bear promotion and even demotion, and he can bear fair weather and foul. For Enes, to do his work properly and well is no more than his duty. He guards against complacency and arrogance and does his best to make no mistakes, or as few as possible (He makes plenty).
Weaknesses: Besides those weaknesses already highlighted, Enes does at times like to show off and to have people sing his praises and flatter them. He is ambitious, he is prone to cut a dash, to claim credit for himself and to get the limelight, and he likes to keep everything in his own hands. He can be vain and unwilling to immerse themselves in some routine or technical jobs. He struggles with his own arrogance, and at times after accomplishing something he can enjoy trying to throw his weight about, become overbearing and try to domineer, and he does not always treat others as equals in a modest and friendly way. He talks down to and lectures people and orders others about, and is occasionally trying to tread on people's necks. Cornelis cannot bear being misunderstood or wronged. As his baleful yearning for fame has not yet been uprooted he tries to dress himself up as a "great man" and a "hero" in the and stops at little to gratify his desire. When he fails to achieve this object, or when he is misunderstood or wronged there is a danger that he will vacillate. Exploiting class ideas still linger in the corner of his mind, he can, at times, fail to understand the greatness of the cause and lack a great breadth of vision. Cornelis knows he must not be in the least complacent or arrogant. Granted that in some ways he is very capable, having done some good work and having to his credit considerable achievements which may be reckoned "great" and on which they might well preen themselves, but after all, how great are these achievements compared with the human cause as a whole? And for persons with a revolutionary and realistic world outlook, what is there worth preening oneself about in these achievements?
Fears: Cornelis has two great fears: (1) failing himself, his family, and humanity; (2) being hated by those same people.
Likes: Writing, reading, conversing intelligently, training, exercising.
Dislikes: Monotonous tasks, being completely subordinated to a single person, being told what to think, being given assignments he is not prepared for.
Ambitions: Cornelis' ultimate goals in life are the fulfilment of his entire human personality (mainly starting with completing his education), and the establishment of a society that permits the full development of human potential. Such a society, according to Cornelis, would provide its members "the greatest possibility for the development of their faculties." His goal is to ensure that everyone has "the power to develop and exercise his faculties in order to be free." Cornelis once said that his aim is "to organize a society in such a way that every member of it can develop and use all his capabilities and powers in complete freedom and without thereby infringing the basic conditions of the society." As an afternote, Enes also wishes to go down in history as "one of the greats". He wishes to be remembered and honored and revered and loved for his wonderful mind and his complete commitment to the people of the world.
Family: Athena (Mother), Henri Cornelis (Father), Caroline Cornelis (Step-Mother), Julia Cornelis (Half Sister), Other Athena Campers (Half Siblings).
Sexuality: I like to decide as I roleplay.
Biography
Enes Cornelis was born in New York City on May 5th, to a veteran Belgian single father who both worked at a large American bank. He was extremely eccentric as a young boy, a trait that would stick with him for the rest of his life. From the time he was three to the time he was nearly five, Enes refused to respond to anyone who called him by his real name and instead went by Captain Blood, the Black-Hearted Tiger, a name he picked up watching an Errol Flynn film his father bought for him when he was young. Enes was a voracious reader from an extremely young age, consuming any book he could get his hands on. For the most part he read science fiction and history books while in elementary school. After a series of break-ins and mysterious attacks on his family and their friends, Enes and his family moved to the South, to North Carolina, when he was about three, and he attended a majority black daycare and then elementary school (up to 3rd grade), where he developed a lot of his beliefs and where he grew the foundation for his love of all humans. Cornelis was pegged as an extraordinarily bright child from the day he entered kindergarten, and he was popular and loved by both teachers and students at his elementary school. He founded multiple clubs, independent of the school, just to strengthen the only community he knew and to bring his friends closer to him. In doing so, he quickly learned from experience the basics of human psychology and our fear of exclusion, a knowledge that he applied often to almost emotionally manipulate his peers and teachers and gain influence where he could. Young Cornelis' entire childhood was plagued by abnormal flirtations with danger, but he did not face a real scare until third grade. Around this time, there was another series of burglaries in Enes' neighborhood, all centered around his house and all occurring at night when the homeowners were at home. There was a series of lockdowns at his school due to the lurking of a large and mysterious figure. It all culminated one night when a man broke into Enes' house. Both Enes' and his father were present. Henri Cornelis intercepted the intruder in the hallway and shot him multiple times with a .12 gauge shotgun, before fleeing the scene with his son, calling the authorities as they headed to the police station. They moved to a different city barely a week later. The mysterious intruder was not found.
Enes did not deal with a similar incident again until halfway through 7th grade. To make a long story short (because I'm running out of energy for this bio), Enes was attacked by a massive man and though he managed to escape, every bone in his right hand was shattered. His hand never fully recovered in that the bones are still weaker than those in his left hand. The next violent incident was in the summer between ninth and tenth grade, when Enes was attacked by another monster. In this incident, all of the skin was burnt off of his right hand and he received another serious burn on his left bicep. Following this experience, his father took him to the hamlet Accopolis and he was granted refuge, and claimed by Athena not long after.
