Claiming:Camp/Lex Ochoa

Still working on it.

Name: Lex Ochoa

Age: 17

Gender (before someone asks): Genderqueer because yes

Mortal Parent: Emilia Ochoa

God/Titan: Deimos

Appearance (optional): Ali Medina

Personality (at least a sentence or two): They're very independent--not really a loner, but group work isn't their thing. They enjoy being around other people--airports, concerts, whatever. Long layovers are the best.

They're a bit of a pragmatist, and definitely a realist: ''the cup is half-empty if it's been emptied halfway, and half-full if it's been half-filled. ''They're loyal, generally, but it's difficult to form the sort of bond necessary to have their unconditional fealty, and it's easily lost.

Sometimes they ponders what they’ll do in the event they end up in a genuine moral crisis. Like the train question: on one track someone you love is locked in the path of the train, and on the other five people you don’t know. You can divert the train and save the one person, or you can not and save five. The “greater good” dictates they think of others and save five lives, but to do that they would have to value those lives on some level, right? Which they don’t. Boo-hoo for whoever knows those people, but they’ll be diverting that train, thank you very much. They're kind of a selfish person; they accept that. But what would they do if someone else made the same choice and ran over someone they cared about with a train? Honestly, they’d probably hunt them down and kill them slowly. Who’s to say someone else wouldn’t do the same to them? By diverting the train they're preserving their own well-being in the moment, but what are the consequences of that choice? And what about the person they saved? Would they be able to live with them knowing they essentially murdered five people for them? Would they be able to live with themselves after that? But if they chose the other path—to not divert the train—five people and their families would be very grateful, but what about everyone who knew the person they just killed? What about themself? Maybe they’d tie themself to the tracks and see what happens. Who knows?

Inside, they're constantly feeling everything very hard, but over time they've learned not to show it. They rarely laugh freely, or smile, or cry, or even scowl. Most of their expressions are snorts, head shakes, and incredulous eyebrow raises--their emotions are much more evident in their other actions. If they're happy, they might be a bit more talkative, or if they're sad they may lash out angrily. Sometimes it all gets to bee a bit too much for them, and they have to be alone for a while to let it all out.

When it rains, though? It feels like all their troubles wash away and it's okay to smile.

History (more than a paragraph):

Weapon(s) (optional): A staff, so they can beat people to death, but the ends are pointy.
