Name: Vasilis Manos
Nickname(s): Vas, Sunshine
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Sexuality: Gay as f-
Godly parent: Apollo
"C'mon, look on the bright side! No need to be so gray all the time! Let's go do something fun; it'll make you feel better, I promise!"
Appearance: Vasilis stands at 5'8". He has golden curly hair, amber eyes, and a tan complexion. His smile is always bright and cheerful. He sometimes wears a necklace with two turquoise beads and one red bead in the center with whatever outfit he has on. He also likes wearing an orange-red jacket over his shirt often.
Personality: Vasilis is a ball of sunshine. For the most part, he is very happy and energetic. He is optimistic about pretty much everything and an overall fun person to be around. He is loyal to his friends and can be overly trusting. When he is being played like a fiddle, he doesn't like the feeling in the slightest. He is willing to take on anything in order to ensure his friends' safety, especially due to a tragedy in which he was unable to save a close friend. He hides his troubles behind his sunny smile. Despite his happy-go-lucky attitude, he has a gloomy and dark side. He is not as naive as people may think. Yes, he can curse, and yes, he can get angry.
You do not want him to get angry.
Powers/abilities:
- He can use photokinesis, shaping light in a variety of ways. He is able to use it to create arrows and projectiles made of light, which explode upon making contact with an opponent or when he wills them to.
- He can create a shield of light around himself and others. This uses quite a bit of energy if used enough times in succession.
- He can read and speak Latin.
- He can form a bow of solidified light to launch arrows from.
- He is able to play any musical instrument with prowess.
- He is very skilled when it comes to archery.
Future powers/abilities:
- He will gain the ability to use vitakinesis, or the ability to heal.
- He will be able to become temporarily invisible.
- Alongside his bow, he will be able to create a durable sword of light.
- He will be able to form wings of light. They don't actually allow him to fly, but he could use them to quickly dash forward or backward.
- He will have the ability to surround himself with light. He could use this to blind opponents or light up dark areas.
Fears: Abandonment, the dark, tight spaces, death, his bones breaking (it makes him uncomfortable just thinking about it), falling from a great height
Fatal Flaw: Vulnerability. He is far too trusting of others, believing everyone has good in them. He has been easily manipulated in the past without ever realizing it; even when he does, he is more willing to forgive than most. Due to this, he is more susceptible to being physically, mentally or emotionally harmed.
History: Vasilis was raised by adoptive parents - both mortals who couldn't see through the Mist - for a majority of his early childhood. His biological mother, Joy Manos, died when he was an infant. All he can remember about her is the bright smile she always wore. Although they seemed fairly distant from him, his adoptive parents provided him with what he needed to live a healthy life. He appreciated and loved them, even though he was teased by other kids for being adopted.
He learned some skills slower than others, and when he failed to meet his adoptive parents' standards, he was primarily punished by being locked in a pitch black room. This is the main reason he ended up developing a phobia of darkness. No matter how hard he tried to refrain from having to go there, he ended up revisiting it many times.
The first time he found a way to escape from the dreaded room, he ran off into the woods near their home, which is where he first met Seth Grayson. He first found him unconscious, leaning against a tree with an injured ankle. He stayed with him until he woke up, and when he did, he tried to scramble away from him in fear. Not wanting to be seen as something to fear, Vasilis managed to coax him into letting him help soothe his pain. At the end of their encounter, they officially became friends.
Over the next four years, they became closer. Vasilis took it upon himself to teach Seth everything he learned from school and his adoptive parents. He ultimately didn't learn much about the tired boy, but he didn't want to upset him, so he refrained from asking. He never seemed to want to talk about anything going on in his personal life, anyway.
As time went on, Seth began arriving late to their usual meeting spot. He would even show up with fresh bruises and scratches at times. Meanwhile, he told no one about Seth. This included other "friends", who were taking advantage of his kind nature by asking him to do things for them, some of which ended up being embarrassing. He laughed it off regardless, and though he was somewhat aware of what they were doing, he didn't want to turn it into a big deal.
He tried to bring Seth into his family when they planned to move away. He asked him if he wanted to move with them, noticing his new wounds, and finally asked how he received them. He got nothing, so he focused on comforting him instead. He was old enough to put the pieces together himself, so he didn't need Seth to tell him at this point. The boy agreed to go with him, and Vasilis' adoptive parents reluctantly accepted this.
The next morning, Vasilis woke up early to finish packing and fetch his friend. All of a sudden, he noticed heavy smoke rising from the woods. Knowing Seth would be in danger, he sprinted towards the forest, which was on fire. He searched for his friend, choking on the smoke, yet he refused to leave. His adoptive mother found him and dragged him away, with him struggling to break free all the while. He heard a distant crash, followed by a pained yell. Believing it had to be Seth, he cried and screamed as he was taken further away from his best friend.
Vasilis was completely silent during the drive to the location of their new home. Before they stopped at a campsite to rest for the night, he got into an argument with his adoptive mother over the traumatizing event. They both blamed each other for what happened. However, when they began settling down at the campsite, they seemingly made up. His adoptive mother told him she would make the loss of his friend up to him in any way she could. Unfortunately, he didn't realize she was lying through her teeth.
The next morning, his adoptive parents were gone. He was left alone at the campsite, helpless against a flock of harpies that descended upon the camp. He hid in his tent, shaking and curled up into a ball, but he was found and dragged out. He begged for his life, which only entertained the harpies as they toyed with him. He was in denial, thinking the harpies killed his parents. Losing himself to rage, he showcased the ability to create light and use it in combat, obliterating all of the harpies except for their leader.
He ran away, breaking down once he got far enough and eventually crying himself to sleep. He woke up in a hospital bed, having been brought there by a kindly woman named Selena Heartgold. He was wounded by the harpies, and the gashes he received were rather deep, so they were stitched up. She ended up taking him in after he was released, and he stayed with her for two years.
From that point on, he went through every day with hope and shining positivity. He soon returned to his old, happy self. Despite spending less time in her care than his adoptive parents, he believed she loved him more than they ever did. He kept his powers hidden while trying to figure out why he even had them and what other mythical creatures beyond the harpies were real.
On his thirteenth birthday, he heard about a place called Camp Half-Blood. That same night, he was claimed by his true father. Realizing Camp Half-Blood was where he needed to be, he told Selena everything. She agreed to take him to Long Island as soon as possible. Now that both of them knew about the world of demigods, they were more likely to be attacked by monsters. While he was excited about going there, he was going to miss Selena.
It took them a couple days to get there. As they were rushing towards the camp, they were attacked by reptilian basilisks. Vasilis hadn't used his powers in a long time, so he couldn't get rid of them all. Selena stayed behind to fight them off while encouraging him to run. He reluctantly obeyed her, running as fast as his legs could carry him. He made it through the camp's barrier, slowing down when he could no longer see the monsters behind him. He passed out from exhaustion just as he stumbled across Peleus.
The dragon alerted the other campers to his presence. He was taken to the Apollo cabin for recovery. He was then given a tour of the camp, during which he befriended Angelina Coleman, a daughter of Hermes who helped him adjust to the camp life. A couple years passed before he reunited with an older Seth. In fact, he hugged the smaller boy as soon as he saw him.
Everyone at camp knows who Vasilis is at this point. He is incredibly sociable and friendly, sometimes helping his siblings with their patients. He often hangs around Peleus, waking up very early in the morning and talking to Peleus every day.
Other:
- When he was still in school, he was on a soccer team and participated in an archery club outside of school.
- He likes mornings, archery, vanilla ice cream, hugs, sunny days, summer, playing games, laughter, and soccer.
- He dislikes fancy clothes, feeling negative emotions, seeing people in a bad mood, harpies, swamps, and saying no.
- He loves playing the piano.
Name: Rio Percival Durrett
Nickname(s): Fish boy, shaky-legged lump
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Sexuality: Biromantic asexual
Godly parent: Poseidon
"It's okay to have doubts. We may be half-Gods, but we’re still young, and we’re still learning."
Appearance: Rio stands at 5'7". His complexion isn't too tan, nor is it too pale. His hair is black and wavy with a single white streak and his eyes are sea-green. He has a long scar trailing along his right arm from his elbow to his wrist. He likes wearing white and blue clothing; he particularly favors his white and blue hoodie. He'll rarely wear a short-sleeved shirt without something such as a hoodie or jacket over it, as he doesn't want to show off the scar he has.
Personality: Rio is resourceful and studious. He is always taking notes in his head, especially when he doesn't have access to a notebook. He is also a kind, talkative and spirited individual. He likes helping people and spending time with others. He is also rather passionate about topics he likes, such as movies and science, and he isn't afraid to be sassy. Despite this, he doesn't mind being alone sometimes. He isn't the most sociable person out there, after all. He has trouble dealing with anxiety and tends to ramble a lot. Improving himself is something he is constantly trying to do. If something goes wrong, he always finds a way to blame himself for it, and he isn't easily convinced to believe otherwise. He is willing to put his life on the line for his friends and allies.
Powers/abilities:
- He can use hydrokinesis, or the ability to control and manipulate water. He can either manipulate existing sources of water or even create his own.
- He can naturally breathe underwater.
- Although he isn't immune to them, he is resistant to heat and burns.
- He can walk on water.
- He is able to understand and communicate with sea creatures and horses.
- He has extensive knowledge on many monsters.
- He owns a sword with a blue crystalline blade, which he calls Echo. It is disguised as small blue scissors. He has to open the scissors all the way and close them once to transform it into its true form.
Future powers/abilities:
- He will be able to use water cushioning, which is effectively using water to lessen the impact of hard landings.
- His secret ability allows him to create hurricanes. This is something he cannot do yet, nor is it something he is aware of.
Fears: Laboratories/lab equipment, being experimented on, being restrained, caves, poison, thunder/lightning
Fatal Flaw: Self-blame and
anxiety. He blames himself for everything. It doesn't matter what it is, he always believes himself to be at fault for anything bad that happens. However, with enough convincing (also depending on who is doing the convincing), he can eventually look past it. As for his anxiety, he worries about a lot of things and is easily triggered by anything that reminds him of bad occurrences in his past. (EX: He had a severe panic attack in middle school during science class when he saw lab equipment and a lab coat due to what he had to go through with Cath)
History: Rio's life was full of mysterious events. When he was four-years old, he boarded a cruise ship with his mother and stepfather. A storm rolled into the area, and the ship sustained damage, beginning to sink. Rio was knocked off of the ship, but he didn't drown. Despite seemingly having all of the odds stacked against him, he miraculously survived. Only a few people perished, which sadly included his stepfather. The rest were thankfully rescued.
At the age of seven, he noticed two shady figures stalking him day after day. He didn't think much of it at first, but he became wary of them soon enough. Unbeknownst to him, they were Storm Spirits. It didn't matter much, for he and his mother moved somewhere else later, and the storm spirits didn't pursue them. Why they were there is unknown.
He met Dr. Cath when he was nine-years old, his uncle and a scientist who researched animals. He kept getting in trouble at school for not paying attention in class and even falling asleep at points. Cath saw potential in him and asked him to be his assistant. He enthusiastically agreed and gained an interest in science. He became more knowledgeable as he helped his uncle with multiple experiments. He soon found out he was researching Greek myths, wanting to find out if they were real. Together, they managed to catch a reptilian basilisk using weasels. The basilisk bit Rio before it was captured, but he was given an antidote for the poison.
He continued to work with Cath for four more years. During that time, he was attacked by one of the Storm Spirits who had stalked him before. His uncle captured it in the nick of time, which made Rio internally question how he did it with that much ease. He decided not to voice his thoughts. His mother gifted him a pair of blue scissors for his birthday, telling him to keep them safe. He found this incredibly odd, but he respected his mother, so he agreed to do so.
He was also possessed by an Eidolon, but it couldn't fool Cath whatsoever. Intimidated by the scientist, the Eidolon was forced to swear on the River Styx to never possess him again before leaving the boy's body. Rio was traumatized by the event, but he was reassured it wouldn't happen again. When he asked who he really was, Cath laughed it off, then proceeded to tell him about Greek Gods and Half-bloods. This made him even more confused about the extent of his uncle's knowledge. He mentioned the cruise ship incident, which seemed to pique Cath's interest. However, this went over his head.
On his thirteenth birthday, Rio discovered the identity of his true father; Poseidon, one of the Big Three. Although he was aware of the Greek Gods' existence, it was still a lot to take in. When he asked his mother about it, she told him about Poseidon. He felt a little thrilled after everything was explained to him. He even considered going to Cath and telling him about it. When the thought of potentially becoming an experiment went through his mind, he became more reluctant to say anything concerning his heritage to him.
A few days later, he mistakenly let the truth slip in front of his uncle. Cath seemed shocked by it, but he put it aside to request that he accompany him on a trip to San Francisco. During their trip, he finally realized something was truly amiss and confronted Cath about his true identity. When he accused his uncle of being a monster, the latter showed his true colors.
Rio tried to defend himself with Echo, but he wasn't fast enough to avoid having his arm cut deeply into by Cath's scorpion tail. He was disarmed and effectively incapacitated due to the poison that had entered his system, causing him a tremendous amount of pain. The man revealed himself to be a manticore, having killed and replaced the real Cath Durrett two years after Rio had first met him. The boy tried to get away, but he ended up blacking out due to the severe pain and blood loss he was suffering.
He was taken to Mount Tamalpais, where he was forced to hold up the sky. Despite the agony he went through, he managed to escape by insulting and taunting Atlas, taking advantage of his short temper. He then created a wave of water to knock him back under the sky, slipping out before it could crush him. Cath was rather pleased with the results of what was revealed to be a twisted experiment. Instead of going to attack the manticore for what he'd done to him, Rio fled the mountain. He managed to get help before he passed out again, the pain becoming too much for him to handle.
His mother was beyond shocked when she discovered what happened. She did her best to comfort her son, but it wasn't enough to prevent his anxiety from increasing tenfold. He began having panic attacks, especially whenever he saw anything to do with a laboratory, such as lab coats and goggles. It resulted in him struggling in school more than he did in the past. However, he was doing his best to move on. He dyed the grey streak in his hair white and focused on supporting his mother.
He was eventually told to go to Camp Half-Blood, where he would be safe from monsters. Under mysterious circumstances, he ended up passing out near the edge of the barrier. He only remembers there being a thunderstorm while he was trying to get to the camp. He was found and taken to the Apollo cabin to heal. He was unconscious for nine days. He'd forgotten why he was at the camp in the first place, as well as how he got there and even what happened with Cath.
He was greeted by another camper named Angelina Coleman. She helped him deal with his memory loss and adjust to the camp. When he revealed his heritage, he was allowed to stay in Cabin 3. When he was fifteen, he left camp to reconnect with his mother, though he came back the following summer. While he was gone, he also met his older brother and made a promise not to use poison against anyone. He ended up befriending a pegasus and fixing the destroyed fountain in his cabin.
Other:
- He has a pegasus companion named Cyrus, who is mainly black with white wings.
- He is terrible at archery, because of course he is.
- He looks adorable while asleep, and literally no one has ever said otherwise.
- He occasionally experiences spasms in his scarred arm. The chances of it happening increase when he is stressed.
- He loves the water fountain-
- He loves puzzles, whether they be physical or in video game form. He owns a Rubik's cube, and although he hasn't figured it out yet, he is determined to do so.
Name: Seth Grayson
Nickname(s): Sleepy, sleepyhead
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Sexuality: Bisexual
Godly parent: Hypnos
"I never said I was a hero. All I know is that I refuse to become a villain."
Appearance: Seth stands at 5'5". He has short light grey hair, a pale complexion, and bright green eyes. Sometimes, his eyes glow gold, and whenever he is "sleepwalking", his pupils are gone. This happens according to emotion, when he first wakes up, and during a fight. He has a long scar on his left leg, starting just above his kneecap and ending at his ankle. He likes wearing casual clothing such as hoodies and sweatpants, and he opts to never wear shorts.
Personality: Seth is a laid-back person. For the most part, he can keep his head in stressful situations. For someone who is often tired, he is very stubborn and refuses to let his opponents win. He is very humble, never asking to be thanked for anything helpful he does. He may get flustered if he is complimented one too many times, but it is because he doesn't think he deserves any praise. He is deeply afraid of himself due to what he is and could be capable of. He doesn't take crap from anyone and he isn't afraid to act snarky. Despite his tough act, he is pretty much the human version of a cat. Not only does he love sleep (when he is safe from Morpheus that is), but he also craves affection. He enjoys getting hugs, pets and cuddles.
Powers/abilities:
- He can use levitation. He considers it his most useful skill, especially since he has a limp in his left leg. He mainly uses it to get around if he isn't using his crutches and in combat. If he flies too high, he'll start to become light-headed from the increasing elevation, eventually passing out and falling from the sky.
- He is able to manipulate his own personal dreamscape as he is asleep. He can also enter other places in the dream realm. The amount of control he has changes when he enters another person's dream; the most he can do is communicate with the person who owns the dream or assist in waking them up by kicking them out and taking control.
- He can sense the presence of other beings in the dream realm. In a nightmare, this ability is hindered.
- He remembers every single dream and nightmare of his, even those he had at a very young age.
- Sometimes, while he is unconscious, he experiences an advanced version of sleepwalking. His surroundings gain a small blue tint, he can hear sounds more clearly, and a hazy feeling hangs around him. It improves his focus during a dangerous situation and pushes down extreme emotions for the most part.
- He can understand and communicate with monsters, such as with one of his griffin companions, Renegade. He has no idea how he is able to do this, but it has proven to be useful in the past. Additionally, thanks to this ability, some monsters will refrain from trying to kill him (they will probably mainly be the ones from Morpheus' monster army).
- His weapon is a large black and silver scythe, which is disguised as a pocket-watch. All he has to do to make it transform is to push a button on top of the pocket-watch, which opens it up. It then turns pitch-black before forming into the scythe.
Future powers/abilities:
- He has always had hypnokinesis, which allowed him to put more than one person to sleep at a time with ease. He could potentially put a lot of people in a coma. The thing is, he locked this ability away after only using it once, and he doesn't plan on using it again.
Things don't always go according to plan, unfortunately...
- After taking control of dreamscapes other than his own, he may gain the ability to absorb them rather than let them be, giving him more power depending on the dreamscape. (Still working out the details on this, the thought came to me and I thought it was cool)
- He will be able to snap others out of hypnosis or stop them from being possessed by something. Of course, this doesn't mean he can't be hypnotized or possessed.
- He will eventually be able to shape-shift in the dream realm.
Fears: Growing too powerful (in other words,
himself), fire, Morpheus/Phobetor, nightmares, paralysis, immense pain
Fatal Flaw: Avoidance of power. He fears becoming like his Godly brothers, Morpheus and Phobetor. Thus, he tries to avoid using anything that makes him more powerful as much as possible, even if it puts his life at risk; namely, his hypnokinesis. Whenever someone compliments him on his abilities, he will likely become more afraid of himself. He doesn't desire power and will never accept offers that may give him more of it.
History: Seth has no memory of his true parents. He has a surprisingly good memory, reaching back as far as his earlier years. Until the age of six, he lived in an underground laboratory, watched over by Dr. Cath and his team of scientists. Under Morpheus' command, the scientists performed multiple tests on the young boy, most of which were ultimately harmless.
They found out he had the ability to communicate with and understand monsters. This was discovered when Cath locked Seth in a large cell with a vicious griffin named Renegade. However, instead of attacking him, Renegade bonded with Seth and wanted to protect him. After that, Seth was brought to other monsters, and all of them didn't attack him.
However, this proved to have consequences for the scientists in the long-run; when he was six-years old, Seth helped Renegade break out of his prison. The griffin successfully escaped, but the boy wasn't so lucky. He was caught, and Dr. Cath decided to stop researching him. Instead, he handed him over to a family of three who were willing to serve Morpheus as long as they were spared from his wrath once his plans went through. They were tasked with providing the bare minimum of what he needed to survive, but they could otherwise do whatever they wanted with him.
As he grew older, Seth was mistreated by his foster family. He was bullied by his stepbrother, scolded for the smallest things, and generally neglected. He only had one toy, that being a stuffed blue cat. Despite knowing monsters existed, he wasn't aware of his status as a demigod. One night, he was visited in his dreams by Morpheus himself. He would be there to comfort him from then on, encouraging him and implanting certain ideals in his head. In actuality, the God was merely manipulating him.
After Seth's stuffed animal was ruined by his stepbrother, taking some physical abuse from him as well, he ran off into the woods. He eventually passed out, leaning against a tree. When he woke up, he saw another boy sitting by his side. He scrambled away in fear, hiding behind a tree. His ankle was injured, so his movements were limited. The boy assured he wasn't going to hurt him, only wanting to help.
He was eventually coaxed into coming out of his hiding spot, allowing the boy to tend to his injury. At the end of their encounter, they introduced themselves to each other. He and the boy, Vasilis Manos, became friends. They only grew closer over the next four years. Vasilis made him happy, and he looked forward to seeing him every day. It made him want to leave the forest, but he had it drilled into his head that he couldn't leave without consequences. He didn't want his foster family to find out about their friendship.
He soon started showing up late to their usual meeting spot. He even showed up with fresh bruises and scratches at times. He would always try and distract Vasilis from how he got those wounds, wanting to learn more about the outside world instead. Meanwhile, Morpheus continued to visit him in his dreams. He'd already told him about him being a demigod and his potential powers. He taught him some of the Gods' history and how the world of demigods and monsters worked. He also kept trying to convince him to rebel against his abusive family.
One day, Vasilis asked him if he wanted to come with his family after comforting him. They were moving away, and he wanted to bring Seth along. The grey-haired boy agreed to go with him, seeing a chance to get away from his horrible life. When he went back home, he didn't say a word to his foster family. He knew if they found out, he would be done for.
Unfortunately for him, things didn't go as planned. They found out, and when Seth was about to leave, he was set upon. His stepfather intended to punish him severely, just as he threatened to do many times before. It was then that Seth finally snapped. Following Morpheus' advice, he unlocked the power of hypnokinesis and used it to put his stepfather in a coma. He did the same to his stepmother and stepbrother, taking in what he'd done before he ran away.
All of a sudden, the forest caught fire. In the midst of running towards where he thought the end of the forest would be, a tree fell on his leg, pinning him to the ground. He thought he heard someone screaming his name from afar, but he couldn't tell. He cried and begged for help, repeatedly saying he didn't want to die, only to eventually lose consciousness.
He woke up in a large, fancy bedroom, his leg bandaged. He was initially alone, but it wasn't long before Morpheus entered the room, the two finally meeting face-to-face. The God explained how he saved Seth and brought him to his hidden fortress, which happened to be located in a different part of the forest. He also informed him that he wouldn't be able to walk properly again, for his leg had suffered too much damage. Thankfully, Seth was able to levitate off of the ground easily.
He spent two years living under Morpheus' wing. He was gifted a special scythe and trained under him. He also spent time with a few members of his monster army, though Cath was nowhere to be seen and he had no idea that Cath was working with Morpheus. He eventually saw his Godly brother as the caretaker he wished he'd had, even though he rarely showed him any affection. He missed Vasilis, but he was told not to leave the palace, and he didn't know where he was. He just hoped he was safe, wherever he was.
When he was twelve-years old, he overheard a conversation Morpheus was having with a mysterious figure he couldn't recognize. The God revealed his true intentions for Seth, who was devastated by the truth. He felt deeply and utterly betrayed, not to mention disgusted. At the same time, Renegade returned to the palace with two other griffins to rescue him. They managed to get him out, and over the course of two days, journeyed to Chicago.
Once they reached their destination, the griffins brought him to Quinn, a daughter of Phobos. She was also raising two other demigods; a child of Hades named Falkon and a child of Iris named Lillian. She decided to take Seth in as one of her own. The boy was hesitant at first, given the previous betrayal, but he grew to care for her and the other two children, whom he viewed as siblings.
Quinn continued Seth's training, making him stronger than ever before. However, at a certain point, he wanted to stop. His Fatal Flaw prevented him from wanting to become stronger, especially with the knowledge of what Morpheus wanted to do to him.
Three years later, Morpheus somehow managed to reach him in his dreams once more. After informing Quinn of this, she decided it would be best for him to go to Camp Half-Blood. Renegade dropped him off outside of the barrier, fleeing afterwards so that he wouldn't be attacked by any other demigods. Not too long after he arrived, he reunited with Vasilis, who was overjoyed to see him.
Other:
- He uses crutches to get around when he isn't using levitation. When he isn't using them, they are disguised as identical pencils.
- Any pain he experiences in a nightmare carries over to the waking world.
- Due to him being narcoleptic, he sometimes falls asleep at random times.
- He takes painkillers for his leg and medication for his narcolepsy.
- He loves cupcakes; the ones with pink frosting are his favorite.
- He actually has a pretty good singing voice. It's just that he's too shy to sing in front of anyone.
- He has three griffin companions; Renegade, Quiver, and Silver Moon.
Name: Angelina Coleman
Nickname(s): Angel, Angie
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Sexuality: Pansexual
Godly parent: Hermes
"Life is not simply black and white, and it never will be. However, just because you can't be completely good doesn't mean you shouldn't try to be the best person you can be."
Appearance: Angelina is tall, standing at 5'9". Her salt-and-pepper hair (grey and black) is almost always tied in a ponytail, with bangs mostly covering her left eye (from an outside viewer's perspective), which is also covered by a black eye patch. She wears it because she doesn't want anyone to see that she is blind in one eye. She has blue eyes and elfish features, like slightly pointed ears. Both cheeks are dotted with light freckles. She isn't too tan or too pale. She usually wears a purple vest with light purple edges, a light purple handkerchief mask serving as a scarf of sorts for the most part, a light purple scarf with dark purple edges at the lower end that is tied around her waist, the orange Camp Half-Blood short-sleeved shirt underneath her vest, light grey shorts, white sneakers, black finger-less gloves, and blue goggles atop her head. Outside of her main outfit, she tends to wear athletic and/or short-sleeved clothing.
Personality: She is rather upbeat and encouraging. She is also tough, refusing to give up in many circumstances. She has trouble sitting still at times. She is willing to fight tooth and nail to defend her fellow demigods. She can be a little too quick for her own good, and she'll usually apologize for it if it negatively affects anyone. She can ignore the rules and defy anyone in order to defend her friends.
Powers/abilities:
- She can sense the internal structure of a lock and can usually make it unlock automatically.
- She can sense if there are traps or curses placed on a lock, but she cannot deactivate them.
- She is skilled when it comes to picking locks.
- She has enhanced speed and endurance.
- Her weapon is a black and green dagger.
Future powers/abilities:
- She will be able to steal from anyone in a supernatural fashion, meaning her chances of getting caught will become rather low.
- She will be able to use teleportation.
Fears: Failure, severe dizziness, getting sick, suffocating/drowning, hospitals, quicksand
Fatal Flaw: Ambition. When she sets her mind on something, she will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. This doesn't mean she will do anything to accomplish whatever she wants to do; there are lines she won't cross, but she generally won't give up until she is satisfied.
History: Angelina grew independent at an early age. Her parents tended to ignore her a lot, so eventually, she ran away. She found a home with a gang, who taught her how to efficiently fend for herself and made her feel like she was part of a family. She initially rejected gestures of affection such as hugs and pats on the shoulder, but she slowly grew to appreciate them.
During an outing, she and a few of her fellow crew got into a fight with another gang. She fought bravely, but she ended up being stabbed in the eye by the end of it. Her friends brought her back to their hideout, where she was treated and given a temporary bandage for her eye.
It was a dark time for her; she experienced all sorts of negative emotions. She was scared of only being able to see out of one eye from then on. She was angry at the person who did this to her. She was nervous about not being as useful on the team as she used to be. Most of all, she hated herself for not being strong enough to end the fight before she took such a blow.
Before she recovered fully, she began having panic attacks more often. For instance, when one of her fellow gang members tried to hug her, she kicked him in the face. He claimed she broke his nose with that kick, but in actuality, she hadn't. He said that so the rest of the gang would respect her more than they already did, and it made her feel a lot better. She was given an official eye-patch for her now-blind eye, and she soon realized she didn't need both eyes to keep her friends.
As soon as she was claimed by Hermes, she decided to set off for Camp Half-Blood. Most of the gang were against it at first, but their leader allowed her to go. She bid them all a tearful farewell before departing for the camp, determined to make her figurative family proud of her.
She gained a lot of respect from her siblings in the Hermes cabin. She took good care of the younger ones and strayed away from her previous mischievous and even violent ways. She often helped with giving tours to new campers, which included Vasilis. She was the one who rescued Rio when he passed out just outside of the camp borders and helped him adjust to life at the camp.

Average height for someone her age along with an average build with freckles scattered across her nose and cheeks as well as some on her shoulders. She has shorter wavy caramel colored hair, and striking green eyes that would make Aphrodite jealous. She's your typical tomboy, graphic or band tees, worn looking jeans, and beat up sneakers paired with a beanie. Oh, and no makeup, skirts, dresses, or heels. She hates that stuff. (Possible Outfits
