Claiming:Camp/Seth Ward

Name: Seth Ward

Gender: Male

Age: 16

God Parent: 1. Pandia, 2. Appolo, 3. Astraeus

Mortal Parent: Mark Ward

Appearance: Seth is around 5'9. He has pale skin and dark black hair. His eyes are a pale grey color, in the moon light they reflect the light and seem to glow.

Personality: Seth is quiet and somewhat uneasy around people. He spent over two years with everyone around him thinking he was insane and it's become a tender topic. He's almost completely nocturnal and is always more energetic at night. He'll make short term plans and goals but has no overall direction that he wants his life to follow.

History: There's something about the full moon, something about its soft and mysterious light that tells you "tonight anything can happen". It was a full moon the night Mark Ward met "Pan", the beautiful young woman sitting all alone in a half deserted student bar. She seemed to emit a silver light and Mark couldn't turn away, he'd never seen a girl like her before and likely never would again. He summoned all his courage and walked over. She was out of his league, he knew that just not how far. The nervous college senior had no idea who he was really about to hit on, the goddess Pandia was considered radiant even among the gods. He didn't stand a chance, but it was a night where anything could happened and on that night it did. Mark woke up to sunlight pouring in the window, Pandia was gone without a trace and the whole incredible night seemed as if it were nothing more then a fantastic dream.

Mark moved on with his life and got his degree. Nine months later however, the night of yet another full moon, Mark woke up when his entire apartment was flooded with light, moon light. The door bell rang and Mark made his way cautiously downstairs. A small bundle was lying in the hall with a note on top of it. Mark moved closer and gasped, the small bundle was a child. He tore open the note and a small, silver coin fell out. The note was "Pan", it briefly explained the child was his and she was unable to take care of it, the coin it also noted was a memento for the child. The note gave no mention of Pandia or the gods, and as Mark picked up the child he unknowingly fell into a world he didn't belong.

Seth Ward grew up with his father on long Island, in a small weathered house, that his father had inherited from some great-great-aunt. School was never easy thanks to his dyslexia and ADHD but he worked hard and did well, for a while at least. He always found it difficult to stay awake during the day, but the night was a different story and he spent hours some nights just watching the sky. Seth was never by any means popular but he had friends. He held onto his mother's memento at all times as a good luck charm. All in all life was good, for a while at least.

When he turned fourteen, life stopped being so good. He was attacked by a hell hound in the park. He panicked a ran right into the street, where the hell hound was flatted by a bus. He tried telling his father later while he waited in hospital to be treated. But it sounded hysterical, the ramblings of a frighted child. Mark told his son to calm down, that it was just the shock of being attacked, that he was safe and had nothing to fear.

Seth tried to believe his father, but over the next two years he began to see monsters everywhere. The mist was losing its power over him, and it was a nightmare. Teachers grew fangs and tails, the girl he had a crush on became an empousa and he saw a giant golden lion bound down main street. By the time he was sixteen, Seth was a paranoid loner with no friends, who skipped school whenever possible. His father was worried, no terrified, and resolved that something had to be done. But Seth wouldn't listen to anyone, everything was so real, it couldn't just be in his head.

Seth's savior came in the form of a portly satyr in the guise of a camp director. Mr G. Briarwood as he called himself, told Mark about a camp for young people with the same "difficulties" as his son. Seth refused, until Briarwood removed his shoes to reveal cloven hooves. A week and a half later Seth was in the car with Mark heading towards, what he hoped was a brighter future.

Weapons: A silver coin that can transform into a Celestial Bronze Sword. The sword is enchanted to glow a faint silver. The glow is tied to the phases of the moon and glows brightest at a full moon and weakest at a new moon. (He did not discover the coin's ability to become a sword before reaching camp)

Note: I was in the adopted a newb thing and just hit level 5 so I'd like to have him unlock all powers as soon as he reaches camp.
