(Me and Ripple: but what if we rebooted this rp tho)
• Introduction • A shiver runs down your spine as you're sitting in the back of the taxi, clutching onto a backpack with your belongings inside it. The car rocks a bit as the taxi driver drives on the old road. You remember how you were given the paper slip with the address on it. You are still confused by the fact that you are supposed to be a demigod. Apparently the parent you have never met before is a god.
You're driving farther and farther away from New York City and your gaze strays back onto the paper:
Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141, Long Island, New York 11954
It had been hard to read for you, but whoever wrote these things tried to make it as readable as possible. The sunlight shines through the window and creates lazy patterns on the seats as you fall back into your thoughts. You were told that the place you are now heading to is the safest place on earth for people like you. Before you can think more about it, the car suddenly stops and the driver looks back at you. "We're here," the driver announces. You pay for the ride and step outside. As soon as you close the door, the driver speeds away, probably wondering why a child wanted to get dropped off at a place like this.
Once the taxi speeds off, leaving a dust cloud behind, you slowly start walking towards the entrance. Around halfway there, you start hearing voices. Curiosity gets the best of you as you continue on, soon passing the entrance with the large "Camp Half-Blood" written over it.
Yet, as soon as you do that, a brunette girl seems to spot you. She says something to the people with her, then starts walking over to you. Her gray eyes seem to make you freeze for a moment when she stops in front of you. But then, she smiles, and her eyes seem to soften as well. "You must be new," she starts. "My name is Sanaa Bishop, I'm the counselor of the Apollo cabin."
She beckons for you to follow and you pass by a sign that makes you frown. "Keeping Young Heroes Safe from Harm (Mostly) For Over Three Millennia!" That doesn't sound very promising. Sanaa glances over at it as well. "Don't worry too much about it. Somebody dying is very uncommon nowadays," she reassures you.
There's a moment of silence shared between the two of you, until the wind picks up, softly swaying a fleece that shimmers like gold. It hangs on a tree up on the hill. Sanaa looks at it, and then at you. "You've found us, which makes me guess that you're also a demigod. Let's head over to Chiron, and then once he's explained everything, I'll show you around."
• World • As the title has probably already told you, this rp is based on the Percy Jackson series. As such, the world is like it is there. Monsters roam the world, though normal humans usually don't notice them. As a demigod, though, one can see them and is in constant danger due to possible attacks. However, some humans also manage to see through the mist.
The camp is the same as in the books, so I will not put a lot of written information here, as that would just make this too long. If you're not familiar with the series, but still want to join, feel free to hit me up and I'll have you out.
Cabin #1 - Zeus - Greek God of the sky, weather, air, lightning, honor and justice. A marble building looking like a mausoleum with heavy columns.

Username >> Waterpelt Character's Name >> Sanaa Bishop Age >> 17 Birthday >> May 30th Height >> 5"5 Physical Appearance >> Sanaa has long light brown hair with a few blonde highlights that lighten it up some more. Her eyes are a stormy gray with barely a hint of blue to them. Her skin has a darker tan in summer, though her paleness comes out during winter. Sanaa usually picks outfits that aren't too revealing, but still stays fashionable, even though she would also go outside with an absolute disaster of an outfit. At the camp she wears the camp t-shirt and darker colored pants.
Sanaa wears black rimmed glasses, as she is near-sighted. Contact lenses would be an option, but Sanaa dislikes them, not liking the thought of putting them in every day. While not extraordinary in build, Sanaa isn't out of shape. If one looks closer, they can see a few muscles from which she needs for her choice of weapon. // Godly Parent >> Apollo Other Family >> Julia Bishop (mother), Alexander Bishop (half-brother) History >> Sanaa's childhood was rather normal, she kept a low profile in school and helped out her younger brother whenever he had trouble. They grew up in Oklahoma, but once Sanaa had reached the age of ten, she first saw a monster and demanded answers from her mother. Her mother dodged around the question without the ten year old noticing, but they actually moved to New York City in the same year. It was easy for a satyr to notice Sanaa and her brother, and finally, a day before she turned 13, she was told to go with the satyr to Camp Half-Blood. Skeptical at first, Sanaa told her mother about it, and her mother finally told her everything. At first, Sanaa had been angry at her for keeping that from her for so long, but she quickly calmed down and said that her brother should come with her, too. Alex wasn't hard to convince, so they were both brought to the camp. Sanaa was claimed on her 13th birthday soon after. She became the counselor of the Apollo Cabin three years ago. Weapon >> Bow and arrow; she also carries a knife with her, though she only uses it when she has to or when a bow would put her at a disadvantage. // Personality >> Sanaa is a rather motherly person and considers a lot of the campers as her younger siblings. She's usually friendly, yet stern and stubborn if somebody acts reckless or stupid. Her sternness is mainly a method to protect her loved ones. Though, people that manage to annoy her or get on her bad side get to see a side of her that is more short tempered and overly sweet at times. Whenever Sanaa acts overly sweet, a punch or kick is going to follow soon after.
Sanaa is a very reliable person who takes her responsibilities very seriously, which makes her an ideal counselor. Though, while she often takes things seriously, she can also joke around, but that side can only be seen by people close to her.
She's not afraid to speak her mind or stand up for herself. Her confidence mainly started showing after Asher challenged her authority as the counselor.
One of her talents is that she's very good at explaining things to others, but she doesn't let it get to her head at all when people come to ask her questions.
Strengths >> tactical thinking, precise aim, healing Weaknesses >> singing, close combat, loyalty // Likes >> The sun, beaches, books, stargazing Dislikes >> Spiders, show-offs, height Dreams/Goals >> Living peacefully with her loved ones Fears >> Heights // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> People that she can have meaningful conversations with and people who share her interests. // Other >>
Username >> Waterpelt Character's Name >> Alexander Bishop (Usually known as Alex) Age >> 14 Birthday >> July 21st Height >> 5"7 Physical Appearance >> Alex has short, messy darker blond hair that reaches the middle of his ears and striking gray-blue eyes. His skin is tanned and he looks rather thin. He usually carries his weapon of choice, a dagger, around his waist in a small sheath for it which is fastened to his belt. At times, he also carries his sword sheath on his belt as well, just a bit behind where he puts his dagger's sheath.
His preferred clothes are light colored ones which are also comfortable, though he'll wear the camp shirt when he feels like it. He has a scar on his right knee which dates back to his childhood. // Godly Parent >> Athena Other Family >> Julia Bishop (mother), Sanaa Bishop (half-sister) History >> Alex had always looked up to his older sister, even more so when she went up against some bullies that had cornered him. He had tried his best to get along with the children at school, but had never been able to. Alex was one of the demigods to always switch schools, but not because he himself caused too much trouble, but just because he could never fit in anywhere. Once they had moved to New York City, it somehow had gotten easier for him to make friends. Or, really, just one friend who later turned out to be a satyr, but he had still been happy. A bit before his sister's 13th birthday, Sanaa sat down with him and his friend and the two filled him in. As he was told that at the camp all people were like them, he had no trouble agreeing. His first year he stayed the whole year, but soon decided to go home after the summer again together with Sanaa. To this day, he's rather confused about the fact that he was produced asexually, but he just doesn't try to question it. After being stuck in the infirmary for breaking his ribs in a fight against a drakon, Alex has become very interested in the arts of healing, mainly medicine that could also be used on humans, though. Weapon >> Celestial bronze dagger and a short sword // Personality >> One may describe Alex as kind, helpful and friendly, and they are completely right about that. He's not somebody who would ever not help somebody in need. While he's generally soft spoken around people he doesn't know, he's not afraid to stand up for himself. If somebody tries to tease him, he'll reply with something wittier. It's hard to catch him off-guard as he's very observant, to the point where it's very hard to hide something from him.
Alex always wants to have the last word, so it's not uncommon for him to stubbornly insist things. His stubbornness and competitiveness have gotten him into dangerous situations before, though he always gets out of them again. He's very smart, but doesn't voice his opinions often, unless it's a situation that could decide about something important like life or death.
Generally, Alex listens to people when they have problems and tries to offer advice, though he hates talking about his own feelings. As a result, he often bottles them up and tries to deal with his problems alone. Younger children usually like him, because he's able to figure out how they want him to act and acts that way. Alex blushes rather easily when caught off-guard or embarrassed. He'll deny it if anybody tries to tell him that he likes somebody, rather trying to hide from those feelings.
All in all, though, Alex is a very emotional person, even though he'd prefer to be able to hide his emotions better.
Strengths >> His main strength is his prediction ability. He can process information very quickly along with making connections between events, so he predicts attacks and other things and is often right with that. Alex's main weapon is his dagger, which he also excels at using, though he does use his sword at times. Animals seem almost drawn to him and he knows exactly how to get their affection. Weaknesses >> Alex is rather clumsy at times, often tripping up stairs. He has a very hard time reading books because of his dyslexia, but also simply doesn't like sitting down and reading for a while. Alex dislikes water because he's not the best swimmer. While he's very fast, he can only keep that speed up for a rather short period of time, which makes it easy to defeat him by tiring him out. // Likes >> Volleyball, video games, snow, animals, sweets, stargazing Dislikes >> School, books, storms, rain, overly sour foods, running for a long period of time, cooking Dreams/Goals >> Alex wants to become a hero or inspiration to others, as he wants to make a difference for at least some people. Fears >> Alex is afraid of being left alone and without any friends or family. He's also afraid of thunder and lightning. And like all children of Athena, he has a fear of spiders. // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> He doesn't really have a preference, though he finds himself drawn to confident people. // Other >> He's allergic to rye grass' pollen, which makes him get hay fever.
Username >> waterpelt Character's Name >> Joshua Archer Age >> 15 Birthday >> December 15th Height >> 6'1" Physical Appearance >> Joshua is a tall, pale and somewhat muscular boy with short dark brown hair that almost goes into a black shade. His eyes appear blue-green at first glance, but upon looking closer, one can see that Joshua has small specks brown in his eyes. Despite being pale, one can spot a few freckles on his face, though they appear stronger if Joshua tans a bit, which doesn't happen often. He generally wears dark pants and the camp shirt, but outside of camp, he often wears brighter colors and a black jacket. He wears a golden wristband around his left arm, with a small pendant fastened to it. // Godly Parent >> Hecate Other Family >> Johan Archer (father) History >> Joshua grew up in England, though his father never paid any attention to him unless he got angry. Unlike many parents, he hadn't noticed that the woman he had fallen in love with was actually a god. As such, he could never accept Joshua, because he knew what would come. Noticing this, Joshua resented his father quite soon and he grew up feeling alone. Whenever his father had a bad day, he'd let it out on Joshua, hitting him. For quite some time, Joshua began isolating himself.
He eventually found friends that understood him, but upon finding out just exactly who he was, he cut them out of his life, afraid of getting them hurt. Living in England meant that Camp Half-Blood was very far away, so one day, when everything became too much with his father, Joshua took his things and left home. He was still worried about his father at least slightly, even though he had hit him. He survived on the streets for six months until a satyr found him. A quick talk later, Joshua found himself getting picked up by a Pegasus and he soon arrived at the camp at the age of 14. Weapon >> A gladius made out of celestial bronze, though he usually relies on his magic // Personality >> One would expect Joshua to be cautious of others after what happened to him, but he's actually very friendly and kind. While he likes to prank others, he doesn't do it to people who he knows it'll hurt or make them feel bad. He's quite good at observing people and likes to encourage others to do their best. He may look a bit like a goofball at first, but Joshua can be serious when he wants to be. Always one for adventures, he sometimes does reckless things, but usually nothing bad happens to him.
Joshua loves trying new things, and with the right instructions, is a very good learner. If he could, he'd travel the world and try activities of a culture everywhere. He's quite bitter about being stuck at the camp at times.
While he's quite extroverted, he shows a big dislike for talking in front of crowds. Yelling also makes him flinch at times.
Strengths >> Joshua is quite skilled with his magic and can also easily manipulate the mist. He's rather good at climbing and moving silently, too. Weaknesses >> Joshua can't cook at all, so it's rather convenient for him that he doesn't have to cook at the camp. He's also rather forgetful and doesn't know a lot about the gods and everything concerning the legends told about monsters and gods. It's just never interested him. // Likes >> Being around friends, campfires, practicing new spells Dislikes >> Talking in front of a lot of people, winter, bullies, yelling Dreams/Goals >> Exploring the world Fears >> He's afraid of being abandoned // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> Fair and friendly people. // Other >>
Username >> waterpelt Character's Name >> Lucia Arrigoni Age >> 16 Birthday >> January 28th Height >> 5" Physical Appearance >> A rather short girl with olive-colored skin and light blonde hair. While she prefers short hair, she's let it grow out a bit, so that it now reaches to her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark brown color with a few lighter flecks scattered in them. She has lots of freckles and seems to almost radiate happiness at times.
Lucia wears a small wristband in the colors of the Italian flag around her right arm and her preferred clothes are light and easy to move in. // Godly Parent >> Zeus Other Family >> Camilla Arrigoni (mother), Aria Arrigoni (younger sister), Daniel Schneider (step-father) History >> Lucia grew up in Italy, yet her mother moved to the United States early on in her life. Lucia was only 6 at that time, but she still speaks Italian fluently. Her little sister's Italian isn't as good, because she was born after they had moved and never showed much interest in the language, as nobody in kindergarten spoke it. Lucia never had any problems in school until the day a student pulled her away from the others and told her that she was in danger. As it turned out, said student was actually a satyr who had gotten the courage to finally talk to her. It took a while for her to believe everything, but after seeing a monster, she agreed to come to the camp, but only to keep the rest of her family out of harm. Her sister isn't a demigod, as her mother fell in love with somebody again after moving. Lucia has a rather good relationship with her step-father and she always goes back home after each summer.
Weapon >> a celestial bronze sword // Personality >> Lucia is somebody very devoted and loyal; she'd do almost anything for her friends. She likes to be around people and has no problem talking to others. She can be quite charming, but honestly doesn't care about that usually. While some may find her intimidating for being the daughter of Zeus, they usually change their opinion about her after talking to her as she's very kind and understanding. Lucia learned her good manners from her mother, which also includes that she usually tries to not be rude, unless she deems somebody as evil, in which case she can get rather harsh. She would only do that with a monster or a traitor, though.
Lucia isn't a coward at all, she's rather brave, sometimes even stupidly so. She likes to try and draw quiet people out of their shell a bit, but gives up on it after she gets told that that isn't wanted. That's one of her flaws, as she often can't pick up on body language, unless she's fighting the other person.
Lucia usually has everybody's best intentions at mind and loves helping others. She excels at sword fighting, so she loves helping others and giving them tips what they can improve with their attacks. She's not the ideal teacher, though, as she often trails off or hops to another topic in the middle of a sentence while explaining. Strengths >> sword fighting, endurance, strength and talking to people Weaknesses >> she's sometimes a bit oblivious and can't shoot with a bow and arrow at all. She also can't lie well. // Likes >> sunsets, sword fighting, ancient buildings that you can explore Dislikes >> mornings, deep water/lakes etc, school Dreams/Goals >> Keeping her family safe Fears >> Dogs, as one bit her when she was younger // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> No actual preference, she just finds herself drawn to people who are kind to others. // Other >> She's left handed
Username >> waterpelt Character's Name >> Freya Anderson Age >> 13 Birthday >> September 28 Height >> 5'4 Physical Appearance >> Freya has thick dark brown hair and a darker tanned skin. Her eyes are a lot like her sister's, brown with lighter flecks scattered around. If one was to look hard enough, they may notice that her hair is slightly shorter than her sister's, but unless they know about it or can observe people very well, it's not noticeable. She doesn't care about her outfits at all and just throws on whatever she finds beside her camp shirt. Usually, she wears a small necklace with a miniature sword on it, but whenever she and her sister prank people, she takes it off. // Godly Parent >> Iris Other Family >> Steven Anderson (father), Brooke Anderson (twin sister) History >> Freya lived a very ordinary life with her sister, Brooke. That was up until the summer, as their father told them about a nice summer camp. Freya agreed at once, looking forward to all the pranks she could play. As it turned out when they arrived, it was a bit more than their father had let on. She still enjoys the camp, though. Weapon >> Freya found an old scythe in the shed while looking for a weapon and fell in love with it. // Personality >> With her mischievous grin that's almost always in place, it's not wrong to call her a trouble-maker. Freya loves to prank people, and the more somebody gets annoyed by it, the more Freya enjoys it. She loves ticking people she considers 'too stern and boring' off. Though, Freya is actually rather nice once somebody gets to know her. She cares deeply about everybody, but most importantly, she cares about her sister. She'd die for her without hesitation.
Freya loves exploring and going on adventures, though it usually ends badly for her, as she often gets tangled up in situations that aren't so good for her. She's had to be rescued by other campers from monsters before.
Freya is very outspoken about what she thinks and bold. It's not easy to get her to shut up, which annoys a lot of the older campers. Strengths >> She's good at lying to get out of trouble and she's also quite good at climbing. While she doesn't show it often, she's also not bad at cooking for her age. Weaknesses >> Freya can't keep her mouth shut even to save her own life. She gets too into things sometimes and doesn't even consider the consequences. While she doesn't even want to be good at it, she also can't draw. // Likes >> soccer, pranks, hanging out with her sister Dislikes >> 'girly' things, meat, people who think they can boss her around Dreams/Goals >> She wants to uncover mysteries in the world, but she also wants to continue living with her sister and father. She's torn between her dreams. Fears >> Freya fears clowns like her sister, and she also fears losing her sister // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> Not interested; would have a preference for males, though. // Other >> She's a vegetarian.
Username >> Waterpelt Character's Name >> Nick Evergreen Age >> 17 Birthday >> December 25 Height >> 5'5" Physical Appearance >> A short and scrawny boy. Nick's skin is tanned and he has a lot of freckles on his face, arms, and neck. His hair is somewhat long, yet that's often not as clear, as it stands up everywhere messily unless combed for a long while or wet. Nick's hair has a brown color with a slight hint of red if the sun hits it.
A calm smile isn't unusual to find on his face. His right cheek has a scar that hasn't faded yet and his eyes are an oddly striking reddish-amber color. What people usually can't see are the large scars on his back, coming from a car accident he was in as a child. A few of these scars can also be seen on his arms, though, but they're smaller and more look like battle scars.
On his right wrist, he wears another leather band with camp beads on it, though it are only seven, and mostly different ones than his own. It belongs to a deceased friend of his. // Godly Parent >> Hades Other Family >> Lauren Evergreen (mother; deceased), Jace Evergreen (step-father; deceased), Seda Evergreen (twin sister; deceased), Kate Evergreen (younger sister; alive) History >> While his mother had always known what was going on, she had hoped that she'd never have to send her children to the camp or let them learn who they truly are. Yet, that naive belief turned out to be the worst decision possible even before the twins' 13th birthday. While on the way to a theme park with the whole family, a monster attack happened, causing a serious car crash. Nick's mother, step-father, and twin sister all died, while he received serious injuries because he protected his sister from the worst harm by using himself as a shield.
The two got lucky that the monster gave up, believing everybody to be dead. They were rescued by humans soon after and brought to the hospital. A satyr started visiting Nick a few weeks later, after he and his sister had been placed in foster care until a relative could be found. He told the two that they were still in danger and about who they truly were, and was glad when Nick agreed that the two of them would come to the camp with him.
They stayed together at the camp the whole year, unclaimed. Hunters of Artemis soon got his younger sister to join them when they visited the camp. He hadn't minded, as he knew she'd be safe.
Nick stayed unclaimed until he had almost turned 13, at which point a relative in California, his aunt, had offered to take him in during the rest of the year. Once again, he agreed.
After a surprise attack claimed the life of one of his best friends at 14, he was an emotional wreck, projecting every bad emotion onto the camp. Which was the reason why Chiron told him to perhaps take a year or two off from visiting the camp, unless it got too dangerous for him. He ended up staying away for three years before returning. Weapon >> Celestial bronze sword with runes engraved on the blade. He also has a dagger that he used when he for came to the camp, but doesn't fight with it unless needed anymore. // Personality >> Nick is a very kind and caring person, unless somebody actually manages to get on his bad side. It's hard to actually make him downright hate somebody, but once that happens, it's almost impossible for him to put his grudge against said person aside. He often has a calm and understanding smile on his face while he talks to others and doesn't hesitate to joke as well. He loves seeing what other people have accomplished from when he's seen them last and is also great at explaining at teaching. All in all, he seems like the perfect person you'd take home to meet your parents.
While all of that is true, there's a deeper side to him as well. His loyalty to his friends and family could be his biggest downfall, as he'd do anything to keep them from harm, even selflessly taking a bullet for them. After the amount of death he's witnessed and survived those situations himself, he doesn't value his life as much anymore, figuring that there are worse things than seeing his father forever. But not only for friends and family, Nick has a selfless and reckless complexion like no other, as he'd even die to protect strangers that appear innocent to what's happening around them. While he is a genius in most fields, and sword fighting being one of those, even he wouldn't be able to survive against lots of monsters forever.
While Nick is a genius, he's absolutely horrible the moment it comes to any kind of romantic situations or advice. He's just doesn't get it, and has admitted to it before. He doesn't see the sense behind it, as he just genuinely sees most actions could also be interpreted as things friends do.
He's a very brave and fearless person, not being the type to really question his decisions. Yet, that together with his twisted sense of self-justice, is rather dangerous. He's not afraid to make justice come by his own hands if needed.
Nick appears as a charmingly nice, understanding and happy boy, though there's a hidden sadness beneath from all that's happened in his life. He would never admit to it, though, as he has his pride and stubbornness. Strengths >> broad knowledge and good deduction abilities, speed and technique while fighting. Weaknesses >> relationships, romance, no strength due to his scrawny stature, his loyalty to his friends // Likes >> strawberries, soccer, books, spending time with his friends Dislikes >> swimming, school, people humiliating others, not being able to solve a problem at once Dreams/Goals >> Becoming a detective to make sure not all people have to feel the pain of being separated from their loved ones forever. Fears >> moderate fear of cars from the accident, but he can handle it just fine for the most part. A straight up phobia of deep water // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> Who even knows lol. Very unlikely that he'd develop romantic feelings for somebody, but feel free to try. // Other >> He's left-handed.

Also wears a navy blue scarf, black fingerless hand guards, and black combat boots. // Godly Parent >> Ares Other Family >> Chika Tokushima (mother), Rikuto, Rikana, Osamu, Erena, Hikari, and Juria Tokushima (siblings); they’re all deceased History >> She’d been at camp half blood since she was 12, where she went so she could train to be stronger to protect her family. Unfortunately, her family was attacked when she was gone and they were all killed, so Takako had stayed at camp half blood since then, with nowhere else to go. When she was 15 she left for a few summers to explore the world a bit more and train on her own, but decided to come back to camp when she was 18. Weapon >> duel-wielding kodachi and shuriken made out of celestial bronze // Personality >> Takako was friendly and outgoing before the death of her family, but since then she had been stoic and cold. She rarely showed emotions to other people and often purposefully came across as uninterested or even rude to drive them away. After her break from camp for three years, she is a bit less intentionally cold but has very few social skills regardless due to isolating herself for so long. She is a very serious person and doesn’t appreciate it when others joke around. She’s very persevering and hard-working, always striving to become better at fighting. Deep down she still cares deeply about others, but is too scared to open up. Strengths >> combat, physical activities, strategy Weaknesses >> interpersonal skills, working on a team // Likes >> cute animals, studying/training, observing others Dislikes >> small talk, relying on others, boisterous/disruptive people Dreams/Goals >> she's kind of lost in life right now, not as fueled by her hatred and need for revenge as before but she doesn't have a sense of direction without it Fears >> losing more people she cares about (which is generally why she distances herself) // Crush >> N/A Dating >> N/A Preferred Partner >> usually males but other genders aren't out of the question; the most important thing is that they are actually outgoing enough to get her out of her shell.

Username >> Rippleshadow Character's Name >> Yarrow Argyros Age >> 15 Birthday >> September 17th Height >> 5’3” Physical Appearance >> Yarrow has fair skin covered in freckles, pale blue eyes, and grayish brown short curly hair. He is petite in the sense it looks like you could snap him like a toothpick. He doesn’t care much for fashion, so he will wear the camp t-shirt with cargo shorts and tennis shoes. On colder days, he wears a dark gray hoodie. // Godly Parent >> Demeter Other Family >> Sage Argyros (father); Holly Argyros (younger sister) History >> Yarrow always wanted a normal life. He never felt he was particularly good at anything, so he thought it would be best if he could just blend in as much as possible, go with the flow, and do what every else does – get a normal job and work until retirement. Unfortunately, that did not work out for him. When he was 13 and discovered he was actually the son of a goddess, he was pretty upset – so much for being normal. He avoided going to camp for a couple summers, but eventually after encountering a monster at school and barely managing to sneak away before it saw him, he decided he needed to learn how to defend himself. This will be his first year at Camp Half-Blood. Weapon >> A scythe he found in the backyard. Maybe he’ll pick up another weapon at CHB. // Personality >> Yarrow is a pushover and generally a people-pleaser. He is a little awkward and shy, and easily intimidated. He doesn’t like too much attention and doesn’t want to stand out in a crowd, trying his best to make himself small and fit in. He is not unfriendly or anti-social though, and most people find him to be quite amicable when they speak with him. His gentle nature and small stature make him an easy target. Strengths >> Flexible/Adaptable, good at forming close bonds with others, picks up demi-god magic easily Weaknesses >> Any form of combat or tests of courage // Likes >> Cooking and baking, sharing meals with friends, board games, comic books Dislikes >> Scary things (i.e. the dark, horror movies, monsters, etc), contention/conflict, making other people upset Dreams/Goals >> Attaining any kind of normalcy he can, as well as simply having time to focus on his favorite hobby, cooking. Fears >> stage fright, getting hurt/injured, seeing other people get hurt/injured, general anxiety of being a burden to other people // Crush >> N/A Dating >> N/A Preferred Partner >> Does not have a gender preference. He easily falls for anyone who is nice to him and is easy to talk to. // Other >> Will add details here if something important about him comes up.
Username >> Rippleshadow Character's Name >> Hana Everdew Age >> 16 Birthday >> August 9th Height >> 5’4” Physical Appearance >> Hana is of a somewhat average but slightly short build. She has long light brown hair kept in twin tails, with some bangs on the left side dyed light green. Her eyes are a greenish-blue. She likes to accessorize, and wears a black bow on the back of her heads, black star earrings, and a chain necklace with a little brown bow as the pendant. She chooses not to wear the CHB t-shirt except when required. Otherwise, she wears a lacey, thin, long-sleeved black top under a brown pinafore dress and black 2-inch platform boots. // Godly Parent >> Poseidon Other Family >> Dana Everdew (mother), Dean Everdew (step-father; deceased), no siblings History >> Hana loved water so much as a kid, she spent pretty much any moment she could in it. Her mother would often find her playing in the bathtub alone, no matter the time of day. Hana knew from early in her life she could breathe underwater, but she never questioned it because she was young and thought that was normal. When she started school and spending time around other people, she was shocked to find that it was not in fact normal to be able to breathe under water. She asked her mom about it and she tried to come up with excuses, but it didn’t take long for the monsters to seek out the powerful young demigod. A werewolf attacked her family while they were at the park one day – Dean led the werewolf away while Dana escaped with Hana and brought her to the only place she knew that was safe – camp Half-Blood. Her step-father was killed by the werewolf and Dana has never been in a relationship since to Hana’s knowledge. Hana has been staying at CHB year-round since she was 7 years old, while taking online school and occasionally making trips to see her mother. Weapon >> Celestial bronze dagger and throwing knife // Personality >> Hana is a very bubbly individual who gets easily excited and overly emotional. She is prone to getting lonely easily and hates spending time in the Poseidon cabin alone. She prefers to spend much of her time with the Apollo kids, as she loves music and poetry. She can be a bit clumsy and is not as alert as most demi-gods tend to be, but she is charming and lovable. She does get easily flustered, which she finds embarrassing. Strengths >> Making friends/holding conversations, demi-god magic, music Weaknesses >> Hand-to-hand combat, solitude, dealing with her intense emotions // Likes >> Strawberries, sea horses, music… and cute girls Dislikes >> Being alone, getting covered in dirt/grime/etc, people who pick on or take advantage of others Dreams/Goals >> Hana doesn’t have a clear idea of what she wants for the future, she just knows she wants to make a difference in the world and find happiness for herself. She also wants to make sure her mom stays safe. Fears >> That something bad will happen to her mother; embarrassing herself // Crush >> Sanaa Dating >> N/A Preferred Partner >> She’s Big Gay, but cannot confess to save her life, as she is worried about embarrassing herself by doing so. She does not really have a type, but she tends to catch feelings for girls she becomes friends with. // Other >> Will add details here if something important about her comes up. Hana is a vegan
Username >> Rippleshadow Character's Name >> Idalia Pike Age >> 16 Birthday >> February 15th Height >> 5’7” Physical Appearance >> Idalia is of African-American descent, and has dark brown eyes but wears pink eye contacts. Her hair is in dreads, which she put into two loose buns at the top of her head. A few braids hang down, which she ties beads into. For accessories she wears a black nose ring. She usually wears the Camp Half-blood t-shirt under overalls, and wears converse for shoes. // Godly Parent >> Nemesis Other Family >> Willie Pike (father), Tia Pike (step-mother), Terrell Pike (half-brother) History >> Idalia had a very tame childhood with loving parents, friends she hung out with after school, participating in sports and other extra-curricular activities, etc. She did well in school and other areas of her life but was never the best at those things. At school, she was known for being the defender of the weak – always stepping in to help kids who were being bullied. Her parents never told her about her demigod heritage, so when she was claimed at age 13 it came as a big surprise to her. She was invited to CHB and she and her parents agreed it would be good for her to spend her summers there and learn how to defend herself, so she has been going to summer camp since then. This will be her 4th year. Weapon >> Celestial bronze sword // Personality >> Idalia is extremely level-headed, and her calming presence makes it easy to spend time around her… as long as you are on her good side. Although she will go to great lengths to protect her friends and allies, she will also go to great lengths to seek and ensure justice against those who seek to harm others. Idalia sometimes feels like a black sheep around other Nemesis children, as she feels her sense of justice is more gray than her siblings’ black and white view of the world. And although she projects an air of warmth and confidence, Idalia secretly struggles with depression, which she has vowed to burden no-one else with. Strengths >> diplomacy, mediating, learning Weaknesses >> does not want to burden others and goes to great lengths to hide her problems, pains, and struggles from others, to the point of self-detriment; finds it difficult to master things she has been practicing even for years; despite being level-headed under most circumstances, when she gets angry she gets extremely angry and does not control herself well in those times // Likes >> reading, art, studying new and various things, activism Dislikes >> bullies, bigots, and people who manipulate others Dreams/Goals >> Idalia wants to get stronger so she can protect herself and others. If she manages to achieve a stable life, she’d like to have a family and work in activist circles. Fears >> Idalia does not have many fears, but she does have depression and has a constant underlying feeling that she is not good enough. // Crush >> N/A Dating >> N/A Preferred Partner >> No preference for gender, but tends to develop feelings for people who are rebellious or break societal norms. // Other >> Will add more details if something important about her comes up.

Username >> clownfishkit Character's Name >> Benjamin Carter Age >> 17 Birthday >> January 24 Height >> 5'10" Physical Appearance >> Ben has sort of fluffy, messy dark brown hair and hazel/amber eyes. He has sparse freckles around his nose and cheeks, and has relatively light to tanned skin. His build is pretty average, as he exercises, but not all that much. // Godly Parent >> Apollo Other Family >> Clara Carter (mother) History >> Ben and his sister were more or less abandoned by their mother, who took up a job that involved lots of traveling as soon as she discovered how dangerous her children were. Ben was bullied throughout school because it was quite obvious that he was neglected; however, he has since found his place comfortably at camp. Weapon >> A more gold-tinted celestial bronze sword // Personality >> Ben is light-hearted and caring, but comes off as sort of a joker most of the time. He takes things as seriously as he should, but often tries to make light of them. He is diligent when it comes to his studies, and is a lot more hard-working than he may seem on the surface. He can be sort of sensitive due to the way he was bullied all throughout school, but he tries not to let people get to him, or at least to not let others see it. Strengths >> Academics, humor Weaknesses >> Anything history-related, cardio // Likes >> Reading, sunshine Dislikes >> Being called by his full name Dreams/Goals >> Going to medical school and becoming a doctor! Fears >> Loud noises, clowns! // Crush >> Dating >> Preferred Partner >> Any! // Other >>
If you're having a bad day, here's a Winchester hug
Everybody is accepted, of course. So let's kick this thing off aslkjd. You can imagine it as the first day of the camp where the campers that are only there during summer are returning))
It was a gentle summer day, still in the late morning hours, before the temperature really picked up. Sanaa straighened up as she and her brother arrived at the top of the hill, taking a moment to just take in the camp below them. "Seems we're not the last ones arriving," she mused, a smile pulling at her lips. "Despite mom oversleeping."
"Again," Alex threw in, staying a step behind her. He was nervously tapping his fingers on his arm. With a deep breath, he moved past her. "Let's go already," she heard him complain quietly.
Not exactly from excitement, but Sanaa knew the nervousness would fade away quickly enough once he had seen his friends again. So, with that, she moved down the hill after him.
--
Joshua, as a year round camper, was already at the camp, though today was of course more special than other days. First day of summer usually meant new faces, and just a more lively camp in general. Not that he minded the less crowded places in winter, but it had a charm to it to hear that much more chatter while eating.
Which was what he was doing right now, as he'd gotten up pretty late. So a late breakfast it was. Or was the right for brunch for that? Who knew, but food was food in the end. And then he could still go look for any new or familiar faces that were returning.

Takako stood near the top of Camp Halfblood Hill, silently watching as more and more demigods arrived for the summer. She still had conflicted feelings about coming back - by no means was she here to socialize - but she knew it was important if she wanted to progress. If she wanted to get stronger. There was only so much she could do on her own. Slowly twisting a shuriken between her fingers to calm the anxiety she pretended she didn't have, she followed the others into camp.
--
Yarrow sat by himself at a table in the mess hall, feeling pretty awkward. He wasn't the youngest camper here, but he was probably the most inexperienced. Would people notice he was already 15 but this was his first time at camp? He could only hope there were too many others campers around for anyone to care. With a sigh, he picked up his fork and shoved some scrambled eggs into his mouth. He missed his own kitchen.
--
Hana hadn't gotten a lot of sleep the night before, but not because of nightmares. Today was her favorite day of the year - the day when CHB became a little less lonely. She practically jumped out from under her covers and, after getting ready for the day, ran as fast as she could to the mess hall. After grabbing a breakfast roll and quickly spotting Joshua, Hana ran over and clasped her hands together with excitement. "Hey Joshua! It's so lively here! Aren't you excited? Also good morning!!"
Idalia sat with the other Nemesis campers, not touching her food. It wasn't that she wasn't hungry, she was just quite invested in the book that she'd started a couple days ago and was trying to get through before anything big happened at camp she didn't want to miss. Well, that's what she got for starting a book so close to the beginning of summer camp. She looked up and around at the people around her, beginning to feel a little bit self-conscious. She shrugged it off and put a smile on her face, giving a little nod and wave to the people passing by.
"It's barely even morning anymore," Joshua replied with a small laugh, though he liked her attitude. It was energizing in a way.
He took a bite of his food, swallowing it before he replied. "Anything you're looking forward to the most this summer? It's usually more lively during this time, after all," he mused, definitely having to think of some campers in particular who helped make it feel like that.

Hana blushed when he pointed out it was hardly morning anymore. It wasn't her fault she liked to sleep in late! It must have been the Poseidon part of her DNA... yeah... that had to be it.
Hana brushed the comment off and focused on his question. "I'm looking forward to everything!" she exclaimed emphatically. "All the new faces, the competitions, the possibility of a QUEST... there's tons of things!"
Also getting to see Sanaa again, she thought to herself, making herself blush more. "Anyway... what are you looking forward to the most?"
Henry had already been at camp for a couple of weeks now, prior to coming back he may or may not have accidentally emptied out a bank of its golden bars and came back home with a heavy backpack that he later left outside of said-bank in the morning hours to return. Like any good thiefperson he made sure no evidence was left behind that would come walking back to him. “This summer’s going to be a fun one.” He said to one in particular with a grin plastered on his face. Besides I only came here really to get a jumpstart on my planking shenanigans, it’s not like I’m a wanted kid he thought to himself. He watched as campers both old faces and new made their way into camp.
- -
“HAHA IM BACK~!” Chevy yelled as she raced down the hill and was practically skipping with each step. School was a bore and ‘mortal’ life while it had its share of fun times, wasn’t all that exciting. Besides she had her bestest of friends here at camp, plus a grumpy divine dad ran the place but hey, nothing was ever perfect…. That was a lie, her mallet was an awesome piece of weaponry. She had come off and on from camp since last summer, often staying whenever her gramps was away on business or she just had to get away from the dullness of home.
- -
Nathan ran a hand over his face as he trudged down the hill after Chevy, having meet up with the Dionysus camper on the way here. He was a tad pale, but only because he was still getting over the shock of being followed by not one, but five ducks that kept following him. How was I suppose to know that Daisy left her sandwich in my bag…. Darn poultry… he thought to himself, several times he was almost jumped by those ducks. Yes mom I got mugged by ducks, be proud of your son his fear stemmed back from when was a toddler and since then only recently been ‘tolerant’ of their presence by a good two blocks away. He watched as Chevy ran ahead and cartwheeling here and there.
- -
Prue quickly but quietly followed after a satyr that had shown up at her house some days before, she started to walk up a hill and continued help but feel a sense of guilt at leaving her uncle behind. I hope he’s okay…. He was quite beat up she thought to herself and held her the strap of backpack a little tighter. Is this place really safe like he said? I wonder if I could make friends here too that thought crossed her mind which made her feel a little better, but she was still anxious of being somewhere new and not really knowing anyone.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
"The chaos of it all," Joshua mused with a smile. "Although, I suppose most of that will be coming from a few... certain people~" Like Chevy. Or the Freya kid. He finished his breakfast, rubbing at his eyes. "If you want to meet and greet the people coming back, though, you're free to come with me. Gonna head over to the hill and see who's coming in." Was always fun to get a look at any new faces up ahead of time, too.
Lucia turned around when she heard the loud yell, tilling her head to the side. She smiled when she spotted Chevy, giving her a wave. That cleared up who the yell had come from, at least. Chevy sure was enthusiastic whenever camp started up again, but Lucia couldn't blame her. She'd missed being able to spar most of all. Wasn't like she could just swing her sword around while visiting her mom. Even if the mist covered it all to the normal eye, she didn't really want to know what else the normal people would be seeing her do.
"Hey, Chevy," she greeted her when the girl had cartwheeled close enough.

Unluckily - or maybe luckily, who even know - for Prue, a certain daughter of Iris had spotted her. Never one to be hesitant, Freya walked right on up, completely ignoring the satyr with Prue. "Hey! Are you new here?!" she asked, putting her hands on her hips, ignoring that the satyr being there would have answered her question already. "Whose kid are you?"
Wasn't like she was expecting her to be a kid of Iris, but perhaps she'd be getting lucky that year. Was worth a try.

Hana thought that "Chaos" was kind of a strange answer, but it kind of suited Joshua. And when she really thought about it, she was kind of looking forward to the chaos as well, at least in the sense that chaos often meant shenanigans amongst friends.
Hearing Joshua's invitation to go meet new campers, she scarfed down the rest of her roll and jumped up. "Yes, I can't wait!" A tiny voice in her head said to her it didn't matter if there were new campers, there probably wouldn't be anyone joining her in the Poseidon cabin anyway... but she shrugged it off and beamed at Joshua. "Are you ready to go?"
Nathan was glade to see camp again, it was like a breath of fresh air and a place where he could be himself. Not that he had much trouble back home, he just felt like an actor going in stage every time he went to school and had to keep his eye out for more then just monsters. He watched as campers both new and old returned, curious at the new faces and grateful to see the old ones. “Hm? Hey Takako! Is that you? Long time no see!” He called out to the Ares camper.
Chevy stopped in her cartwheel at the camper’s side with a grin, “Hiya Lucia! How’ve you been? Gods It feels like forever since last time.” She greeted with her eyes shining, naturally she had to keep her excitement at a certain level- she didn’t want to cause actually chaos by giving nearby campers madness. “Ohh I can’t wait to spar again, do ya know how hard it is not whack someone? I was this close to just going up and down Miami just waiting for anything to happen.” She added with a small sigh at the end, either from not gaining permission from her gramps- she knew better than to cause him any real trouble or just that bored out of her mind.

“Wha- who me? Yes? I dunno?” Pure nearly keeled over right then and there, surprised by the sudden presence and answered her questions in a dazed state. She looked from the stranger to the satyr who was already gone, perhaps to rest up since she was already with one of the campers. “Yes I’m new here….and I don’t know who my godly parent is.” She repeated quietly as she gained her bearings a bit more, “I-I’m Prue.”
