Name: Akira "Alex" Hirosaki

Gender: Male

God Parent: Hephaestus, Hades, Ares

Mortal Parent: Kimiko Hirosaki

Appearance: Is Asian with long black that he keeps in a spiky ponytail and black eyes. He typically wears a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt but slightly customized with the Japanese kanji for "warrior" sewn on the back, light blue pants, and brown shoes.

Personality: Is disciplined and quiet most of the time, the kind of person you can count on to remain calm and focused in most situations. In his spare time, Alex practices his skill at kendo, having studied for much of his life under his mother and uses a custom Celestial Bronze katana. He was very close to his mother, from whom he learned kendo as well as the practices of zen, which he tries to apply to his hero training. Alex can sometimes seem a bit anti-social, because of his serious attitude, but he's fiercely loyal to his friends.

History: Alex grew up in Oregon with his mother, who knew that his father was a god, but didn't tell him. She did instill in him any of the values of Japanese culture, such as teaching him kendo and zen. Alex always assumed his mother was just trying to give him a connection to his heritage, though in reality, she mostly wanted to give him the disciplines and skills he would need as a hero. Alex finally found out about who his father was at 11 when a empousa came after him. But much to her surprise, Alex beat her silly with his kendo bokuto (wooden sword) and even stabbed her in the eye with it when she broke it. It was then that a satyr showed up and brought him to Camp Half-Blood.
