He is not completely anti-social, loving to talk and chat with his friends who make his day. Jonah is a bit timid and shy when approaching new people and sometimes his tongue is tied. Otherwise, he is one of your greatest friends to have. He is great at giving advice and being serious when needed, Jonah also is very trusting and loyal.

With his terrible past with his father's death, he is very sensitive on the mention of fathers. Also at some points, he can seem very gloomy. Some days are just bad for him and he can break down. Money as a whole, scares him seeing the powers that lied in the pieces of paper. Unlike many of his half-siblings, Jonah hates gambling and games that require luck. He believes that a person can loose control of their mindset, like what happened to his dad.

History:

Alexander King was the king of lottery tickets, every Wednesday he would make his way to the local 7/11 to buy a ticket. Though he won a bit of fortune in the long run, but he would not win big. One momentous day, Alexander was going to plug in the numbers for a million dollar jackpot until a gorgeous women suddenly caught his attention. "Tatiana" had long luscious locks paired with hazel eyes that called to him. This women was Tyche, the goddess of luck. She gave him a smile and told him to plug the lucky numbers that would win. Nodding, he put in the numbers and waved goodbye to the mysterious women. When the numbers were announced, Alexander cried of happiness. He wanted to thank the beautiful women who helped him win. Alexander knew that he would find her in the 7/11 and he did. His heart fluttered when he saw her standing at the counter, purchasing a MegaMillions ticket. Tatiana glanced at him with her half-smile and he instantly fell in love with her. He had his fair share of women in highschool and college but no one was as special as her.

She took him to Las Vegas, which was on his bucket list. He dreamed of visiting the exciting city ever since elementary school. Las Vegas was known for all the shows, casinos- just about everything with entertainment. It had his energy that made him want to scream at the world. The nightlife was intense and Alexander loved it. Tatiana and Alexander partied all day and night in Sin City, dancing and drinking away. He was just a boy who worked as a busboy in Southern California who was now partying in one of Vegas's expensive night clubs. One night, Alexander was feeling overwhelmed. He suddenly fell in love with Tatiana, her presence was like a drug. He wanted her and he was addicted. A dark evening at the XS Las Vegas with doses of drinks lead to another thing. Tatiana, fearing that she was pregnant ditched Alexander in the sheets. His heart broke when he found out Tatiana left him, he fell into a wave of depression. He was bitter, angry and restless about her absense. Alexander moved from Bakersfield, California to the busy city of Las Vegas. He developed the habit of gambling, often going to one of the casinos that Tatiana showed him. Just when he was about to commit suicide, a luck nymph brought the baby he conceived with Tatiana to the door of his apartment. For the first few years, he was the perfect father. He worked at a law firm, making a fair amount of money.

Through the years, Jonah grew into a handsome boy who had many of his mother's genetics. The similarity between Jonah and Tatiana was uncanny, Alexander's heart broke again when he saw Tatiana in his own son. He went on a rampage, breaking his toys and harassed him emotionally. Alexander started going to the Casino again, gambling away his money and stopped going to work. Soon, he lost his job and started borrowing money from his friends. The once respected businessman turned into the drunken mess. Alexander's health suffered as the gambling continued and Jonah's relationship with his dad decreased. He would often lie to his son about his wherabouts, if he were to say he was going shopping he would head straight to the nearest Casino. Soon, Alexander became fond of alcohol. At first, the taste was a bitter sensation but it turned into a rich and complex desire.

A year later, Alexander died when he was drunk driving. His car slammed into another, the impact killed him instantly. Josh was now 7 and had no other family so he was put into fostercare. Tyche was worried, her former love had died and now her son was left alone. She sent her loyal luck nymph to pose as a working class women to adopt him. She needed him to be safe and Valerie was her best option, in fact this was the same nymph who delievered Jonah to his dad. Valerie did her best to give Jonah the best childhood ever and worked shifts as a maid in the Bellajo. Life after his father was simple yet tragic, Jonah was without a father figure and sometimes that was hard for him. He would sometimes spend days thinking about his dad, why he treated him like dirt. Jonah would also think about his mom- who was she? Jonah was a quiet introvert in school, unlike the boys in his school he wasn't a fan of popularity. Who would want to be the center of attention? He was also diagnosed with ADHD which made him stand-out for bad reasons.

Jonah was pretty lucky, he didn't get his real monster attack until the age of 14. It was a cold winter as Jonah wandered into a forest near the suburbs of Vegas. A beautiful raven capitivated Jonah's attention as it flawlessly flew from tree to tree. The animal symbolized the balance of life and death, something that intrigued him. Just when he was about to go near it for a closer look, the once black and bold bird transformed into a vicious ugly women. The winged women with leathery skin and vicious claws frightened him as it sliced through his skin. He automatically fainted from the loss of blood and fell on the icy ground. Valerie was not foolish enough to leave her demigod son alone so she watched him from behind the bushes, as soon as he fell to the ground she grabbed her sword and sliced through her delicate skin. The monster bursted into ashes as soon as Valerie thrusted her gleaming celestial bronze sword at it. She then carried the son of Tyche to their apartment, nursing him back to health with ambrosia. Jonah woke up in hot sweat, feeling brand new. He remembered getting pierced by the harpies but couldn't recall getting back home. Reasurring him it was his dream, Valerie sucessfully lied about the attack knowing that he wasn't ready for camp yet.

Life after that incident was still considered normal for Jonah's life of being a wallflower. A few weeks before turning 16, Jonah was a waiter at a fancy restaurant in Vegas. He had gotten the job at the age of 15 when Valerie had pulled some strings with the owner, who was Marco Le Paul. The renowed chef and child of Athena was close friends with the luck nymph whom he met during a quest. Just a normal day of waiting tables and cleaning up after guests, it was almost time for closing. Three groups of guests entered the fine establishment: an alluring women dressed in a tight red dress, a family of three and finally a teenager. The three were seated together closely in the dimmed setting as they ordered their food. Suddenly, the beautiful stranger commanded his attention. Closing her legs tightly and giving him a pouted smirk she gave him his order. Her presence attracted him as he blushed taking her order. When he was bringing the food to the women, she surprisely stood up. Then the tables smashed as the women rose, turning into a vampiric women. She had flaming hair completed with pale skin and the infamous fangs, it screamed at them. The teenager pulled out his shades and greeted the creature with his gleaming green eyes and his glistening celestial bronze sword. Everyone had fled the building except for the three demigods: the girl from the family, Jonah and the teenager. The boy wielded his sword proudly as he fought the monster with his obvious skill from years of training. The girl also pulls out her compound bow and arrows and shoots at the tragic Empousai. The shots did great damage as the monster cried in pain. The boy tossed his dagger at Jonah who tried to hit the monster who greatly rebounded. For a moment it magically attracted his attention, commanding him to drog the dagger. Agreeing, he did. It hissed at the girl and slapped her away. It became more overwhelming as the boy hit the monster critically, the monster was about to die and the boy was weak. Sacrificing himself for the two demigods, he told them to leave immediately. She then grabbed Jonah as they exited the restaurant, running all the way to his house. On the way they introduced their selves on the way. He learned that her name was Stella and immediately took a liking to the fourteen year old

Stella had explained the whole situation to Valerie in private while Jonah grieved. He wondered what happened to the boy who sacrificed himself to save them. He was confused, who was he and who was that monster? Together, Valerie and Stella then explained his ancestry and that they needed to go. Taking an hour to pack their belongings, they loaded their items to Valerie's vintage volkswagen and they went on a two week roadtrip to Long Island. In Utah, Stella bought a postcard explaining where she had been and that she would see then again. The day Jonah turned 15 was the day they finally reached camp. Just when they were about to cross the border, Valerie kissed him and gave him a pencil that could be turned into a celestial bronze axe. He also kept the blood covered dagger that the boy gave him. Holding hands with Stella, they entered camp together.
