History
History: Parents: Since she was young, Emily Blackwell wanted to be a writer. She writes not to be famous or to have money but to release all the darkness of her past and her feelings at the present. The young Emily grew up in a broken home and when her dad remarried, her stepmom maltreated her. Without apparent reason, her stepmother would hit or yell at her and showers her with abuses when she commit small mistakes. The pain of bearing everything herself made her negative and desolate, but when she discovered the power of writing, she felt a bit more normal again and she started fitting in again.

At the age of 24, she already published best-selling novels with dark themes revolving around death, sickness and suffering. Her readers felt the genuineness of her pain but because she maintains a mysterious persona, no one knew where she drew her inspiration. One evening, during the release of her latest novel, a guy in black suit approached her. He possessed an air of regality and darkness, traits that drew the young novelist to the mysterious handsome man.

The stranger told her that he was a huge fan and that he wants to get his copy signed. When Emily flipped the cover page, a note is tucked there. The note said that the guy’s name was Alejandro and when she glanced to look at him, he was smiling, the smile making his aura more mysterious. Drawn to the guy, she talked with him and, surprisingly, she didn’t feel awkward towards Alejandro, unlike the other guys she met.

Everytime she will have an event, Alejandro would be there afterwards and they’ll have dinner together or just sit barefooted on balconies, staring at the stars above. Eventually, the attraction grew stronger and something happened between them, a night of sharing passions and desires.

When she woke up in the morning, Alejandro was gone with no notes and no notice. On her next book event, she asked her best friend if she saw the guy in the black suit she was with. Her best friend shrugged, saying she didn’t remember her hanging out with a guy in suit.

Confusion enveloped her. Her life became more complicated when she found out she was pregnant and so she wrote a new novel and she was able to finish it before she gave birth. During her pregnancy, she felt nothing but bitterness towards the child she’s carrying because she felt that its existence was a huge mistake. The next morning after she finished her novel, she noticed a note, similar to the one Alejandro showed her, on top of the manuscript. The note revealed that Alejandro was actually Hades, the god of the underworld. He apologized for not being there and that he couldn’t be there because he was forbidden to do so. He also revealed that he loved her and she should love the child all she can. Emily was dumbfounded, realizing that the child was no mistake but a fruit of love. When she gave birth to the child, she had severe hemorrhage after the delivery and the doctors were not able to save her. The child, whom Emily named Jake before she expired, was sent to the care of Emily’s Aunt Lucilla.

first monster attack: one day he was going into the woods like every other day. He went a bit too deep than he should have, but he wasn't thinking. That's when he heard the rustle. His heart started poundi and he froze, and tried to convinve himself it was a squirrel. That's when a hellhound bounded out of the brush and leapt towards him. He rolled out of the way just in time, and the hellhound sailed past and hit a tree. While it was dazed, he sprinted back to the house.

Family life: his aunt died when he was 8, and he was forced into a foster home in Connecticut. He loved writing and made a profit from the other kids who bought his stories, which he saved for a certain plan he had. He often stole a knife from the kitchen and went out into the woods behind the house to practice. he was often scared of the woods, and didn't go too deep. He stopped going in altogether when the monster attack happened.

Life on the road: armed with a silver knife and the clothes on his back and the money he saved up, he ran away at the age of 13, in late july. He hunted for his own food, and stole from markets. He slowly headed his way down south. His run away life abruptly ended a week after it started when he was attacked by a hellhound. He used his knife, to no avail. He managed to dodge the hound and dashed through the woods, coming upon a beach. He saw what looked like a campsite. He quickly sprinted towards it. The helhound burst out of the woods, and he tripped. "Stupid movie stereotypes" he thought. He cursed himself for being just like a horror movie character when the helhound hit some sort of wal and stopped.

Monster Attacks: the first "attack" was mentioned above in Family Life, and that was when he was 11. When he was twelve he had an encounter with a stymphalian bird who got separated from the flock. When he was 13 and on the run, he was attacked by a hellhound, mentioned in the paragraph above this.

As of current, he's been at camp for half a week. He has no friends and rarely talks to anyone. He spends a lot of time alone or practicing with his knives, which he obtained from the weapon shed. He was claimed the second night at camp at the Bonfire.
