Claiming:Camp/Taeyoon P'ung

Name: P’ung Taeyoon

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance:

God Parent: Athena

Mortal Parent: P’ung Sun-Hi

Personality: Taeyoon is the type of boy who stays true to his beliefs, and that includes his religious beliefs. He tends to look at things while taking his morals into perspective first, and will only do things if they fit into his moral standpoint. Taeyoon prefers to take things slow, and will not rush head first into anything no matter what it may entitle. The boy would prefer to live a humble life, rather than one that entitled riches and sinning, and can sometimes be viewed as picky. Taeyoon is a very polite young man, who will not do things without reason, and that doesn’t include what he’d do if he found out someone was sinning. If the boy found out someone was sinning, he’d bless the person and attempt to push them towards his god, though he’d do both things subtly. Taeyoon loves to share his religion with others and will proceed to share his faith with people even if they don’t wanna hear about it, which he can be perceived as a religious nut, and even annoying. When people actually get past all the religious stuff, he can be can be seen as polite and very kind.

History:

Parents Meeting:

It was a normal winter day when Sun-Hi met her, the girl that would eventually mean everything to her. The woman was going on about her normal routine, going to the bakery for breakfast and then off to her job as a medical assistant.. After that, she had her night classes, as she wasn’t 100% sure what she wanted to, therefore the woman was taking multiple classes that ranged from art to science. Before her Art History class had begun, they had received news that Professor Julius Pakeera had passed on, and that his TA would be teaching until further notice. The TA was an attractive woman with dark brown hair, and sunkissed skin that intensified her greek like features. Sun Hi had found the woman strikingly beautiful in all the ways she wasn’t.

Sun-Hi wasn’t a lesbian, but this woman had caught her eye. Especially the way she carried herself, with confidence and grace. She shrugged the thought away, until the lecture was over, and this wasn’t as boring as before, the TA had caught everyone's attention with the way she spoke and the way she interacted with the class. Everyone had told her art history was quite boring, but it wasn’t quite as boring as it should have been. As time passed the TA, and her became quite close, her name being Emmaline. They started hanging out often, and Sun-Hi would even come to the elder and ask for help, even when she didn’t need it.

A few weeks went by and Emmaline left, and it kind of scared Sun-Hi, as she was used to her always being around, but she knew that not everyone always stayed. So, she went about her day as usual, until she came home, and heard the crying of a child. Which was odd, because she didn’t have any children. When she went up the steps to her bedroom a baby sitting in a silver and gold laced basket a note attached to it.

The note stated that the child, a boy, was hers and that Emmaline was actually the greek goddess Athena, and what freaked her more was that she’d read about her weeks before the girl had shown up at her college. The other thing that bothered her was, that she knew, that this woman could only have children through their minds connecting on an intellectual level, which meant she must of been smart or something, even though she was failing miserably in most of her college courses. Next she had to explain to her catholic parents that she had a child, out of wedlock, and that she was still a virgin. How do you explain that to your parents?

She went and told her brother first that she now had a child, but he was a little concerned when she told him what had actually gone down, minus the part where the other girl was actually a goddess, as she highly doubted Yejun would take her seriously. Her brother immediately replied back that he didn’t care how she got the child, and that he’d care for both of them regardless, and no matter what he’d help with anything. Next was her parents, who didn’t take it very well, and she stretched the truth, even filling Yejun in on it. She lied and said she had adopted the young boy, because he wanted him to grow up in a safe and loving environment. Her parents told her she couldn’t raise a child on her own, and were furious when she said she wouldn’t get married, ever. This turned into her parents disowning her, but she didn’t mind, because she still had her brother.

Early Childhood:

When Taeyoon was a little younger than a year old his uncle had a child of his own, her name being Minseo, and he was always around her, so he saw her as his little sister, even though they were actually cousins. Taeyoon was extremely close with her, and would always try and protect her, as the years went on that would prove to end up not being the case. When Tae was 5 years old a bad twister hit, causing the death of both Minseo & Taeyoons parents and their only family, in New York, or so they thought. A few days went by and they were eventually picked up by people that, they were told, was their grandparents. Taeyoon had never been told he had grandparents before, but then again he hadn’t known who his father was either. When they started living with their grandparents both of them were immersed into the Catholic religion; From the way they were spoken to, even to the way they live their lives. It was completely different than the way he’d been brought up, but in his it was more of a stable lifestyle and one constant thing in his life, God.

At the age of seven Taeyoon and Minseo were sent to a private catholic school. Taeyoon loved the way religion was thrown into his education, and even became a devoted person within the religion, though he noticed his cousin not really feeling connected, and he really wished she would. He’d sometimes even sit down and have conversations with her, and there were even a few times he would read excerpts out of the bible to her. He had an inkling feeling that she didn’t really care, but then again that didn’t really matter so long as she at least tried to listen sometimes. Taeyoon eventually delved deeper into his religious studies, and his grandparents would often make comments that he’d make a great priest, thought that wasn’t what he wanted to be.

A year or 2 later, age 9, and he was in the 4th grade at this point, and he had decided on doing commune, and was a little upset that his cousin hadn’t done the same. Why wasn’t she think the same way? Why didn’t she like God the same way? Then again it made more sense to him why she didn’t, even he saw some of the beliefs as degrading to women, and he would never follow them. He didn’t think it was okay to him a woman, and nor did he think it was okay for a women to do all the house work on their own. One thing that had really bothered him was the comment on children out of wedlock. Him & his cousin had both been born out of wedlock, and they had been told those children were bastards. Taeyoon never once told anyone that they had been born out of wedlock, as people would probably start picking on them. Therefore he kept it a secret.

A couple years later, age 11, Taeyoon had gotten off school a little early, as there had been a power outage during one of their English lessons. Boy was he glad to get out of school then, as English had never actually been his strongest subject. Of course he could speak it, but writing it and sounding intelligent not so much. As he was heading home, he caught sight of Minseo hanging out with a rougher crowd of older kids, them being 13-14 and her only being 10. What the heck was going on? Hadn’t she known not to hang out with a group of sinners? He decided to follow and see what exactly was going on. Most of the people were people he’d never even speak to, as they saw everything the same: Take what you want no matter the cost. He continued to follow them until, they came upon a dirt road, covered in pebbles, so there was no way he was going to be stealthy. He waited about a minute to follow, but then abruptly tripped, falling face first into the gravel. Everyone, including Minseo, turned around. The boys she was with started speaking to the younger, and asking him why he was following, and he didn’t answer, which followed with a punch to the nose. Causing blood to dribble out of the broken nose. A second later, and he heard his cousin screaming and saw her move in front of him, and the boys calling her a good catholic girl and a woose. Once the elder boys were out of earshot, Min remarked about his nose, and he immediately went up and touched it, which caused a sharp pain to be felt all the way up to the top of his head. Now he knew he had to go to a hospital, and get it checked out, which meant he’d have to explain what had happened. Since he didn’t lie the truth would come out, regardless to his cousin. As these thoughts went through his mind, he closed his eyes, because of the pain, and Min ended up helping him to the bus station where they’d eventually go to a hospital.

Monster Attack:

A couple more years pass by, and Taeyoons 13th birthday had just passed a few days prior. Him & Minseo had left school together like they had been doing since he was 11. They had grown closer since that point in time, but Minseo hadn’t grown stronger in her faith, but he wasn’t going to pester her about it anymore. The 2 were near their house when they heard a hellacious shrieking sound something, Taeyoon thought, a demon might make. Then the shrill sound of his cousin screaming, seemed to fill the air, so that meant he wasn’t crazy right? When he looked up, he saw a woman with the body of a bird, which in turn made him speak a protective prayer under his breathe. When he looked to the side his cousin had been on, she was no gone, running in front of him, which he followed in suit, as he didn’t want to be killed by a demon. A few second of running and a mysterious man grabbed him and his cousin by the arms, pulling them into an alley. The man then proceeded to pull out a weapon which made the boy shrink a little away from the creepy, grubby looking man. Tae just watched the scene progress, as he prayed for everything to go away and the demon to leave them be, as they hadn’t done anything. A few minutes passed by and the sounds of screeching and metal against flesh ended, and the grubby man told them both to go home quickly, and to never speak of what happened to anyone, not even their parents. The man gave him an odd vibe from him, but he decided not to say anything, and instead headed home, with his cousin quickly.

In Between Stuff:

A couple years pass by with a monster attack each year, and the growing severity that something was wrong with both him and his cousin. Why would these creatures attack them? They were disgusting and scary, and they were probably demons from hell. He wouldn’t speak of them to anyone, especially not his grandparents, as they’d probably have them and their house blessed, and some other things. Maybe even a confession as to speak of his demons, that he didn’t actually have. Therefore, he kept everything on the matter quite. He kept up with his studies and eventually things started to at least normalize, well as normal as you could get with demons attacking. He continued to be strong in his faith and he loved the feelings he seemed to get when he prayed, therefore he did it more often, and hoped God would help him through these demon attacks, and it seemed to help, or so he thought.

Getting to Camp:

Almost 2 years later, a week before the boys 17th Birthday, and he had started at a new school that year. It was an all boys, catholic, boarding school in a rural area near Long Island in New York. He wasn’t happy his grandparents had sent him off and away from his cousin, but they couldn’t be around one another forever, and they had to be separated some time, why not when he was 16? It was near the end of the school year (Still 16 encase you're confused XD) and his class science class had decided that taking a nature walk near long island sound might of been a great idea, boy were they wrong. A little while into the nature walk and he got distracted by what looked like a large cat? dog? walking into a cave. What was weird was that no one seemed to actually see the creature. Being the curious boy he was, he followed the creature, not actually telling anyone that he was leaving. As he entered the cave, the creature turned around revealing the face of a women worked into stone, which made him want to run, but the creature came at him, scratching him across the length of his chest, not very deep, but he staggered backwards hitting his head on the cave wall, his vision going dark as he fell.

For how he got away from the monster, please read through this RP between Demi & Riri: http://camphalfbloodroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Roleplay:Main_Forum/General/I_Wish?t=20160119071526 (Note: I was told I was allowed to use it XD)

The boy didn’t wake up for a few days, and when he awoke, he was in a bed, with a young man towering over him. Which immediately made him let out a low whisper of what the hell. The boy looked at him for a few moments before he went to explain to where the boy was and when the young man completed his explanation, he immediately pulled out his rosary and started praying for the young man. He also went onto pray for everyone else, and eventually he just stood up, but fell over as he felt a terrible pain in his head. The boy told him how he’d gotten there in the first place, something about a sphinx, which he immediately replied with: Wasn't that just a demon? Getting laughter from the beds around him, and the people milling around, so he decided to shut up, and pray for everyone.

A week passed, and now Taeyoon was 17, and had been claimed by Athena. When the claiming went down, the boy practically freaked out, and said that there was no way that he could have 2 mothers, since 2 girls couldn’t have children. With much opposition he was placed in his mother's cabin, with whom he now had a strong disliking for. He eventually met up with his cousin again, and found out she was a child of Aphrodite, which was a little odd to him, as he couldn’t understand why she’d be so happy to embrace a whole culture that was a complete lie.

Weapon: Bow & CB arrows he'd picked a few days after he was fully healed, and was told he was allowed to start his training.
