History: Dwayne Rose was a farmer, who worked from dawn to midnight. He took care of cattle, horses, pigs and chickens. He was an animal lover, but he loved gardening because of his late wife, Charlene. She died, along with their soon to be child. One day when Dwayne was gardening, a woman stopped by with the name of "Delilah." She said she was an athletic gardener, but she enjoyed gardening more than being sporty.

"Delilah" and Dwayne began dating and "Delilah" got pregnant. She had a baby girl, but went missing after the childbirth. Everyone thought that 'Delilah" died during childbirth, but Dwayne knew what actually happened by the note she left. It was written in beautiful cursive handwriting and was written of flowery paper. The note read: "Dear Dwayne, I am not as who you expected, and my name is not Delilah. I am (___), the Greek goddess of (___). I wanted to tell you sooner, but after the baby was born, I had to leave, all Gods and Goddesses do the same. I wish I could've met the baby, but I know I will someday. His name is Excalibur Luke Rose. Don't you love it! I'm sorry I can't talk for so long, but I love you as well as lil' Excalibur, tell him Mommy said hello. Love, (___)"

Excalibur grew up in the nicer parts of the town. His childhood was smooth, besides the problems with ADHD, Dyslexia and moving schools every three months. Excalibur never really understood a lot of the things that was going on throughout his life, but he followed his Father's orders. The Rose family was kind of looked up upon in the city.

Excalibur was very young when his first monster attack happened, he was around the age of eleven. A few days after his birthday, Excalibur began wearing a golden necklace that was given to him on his eleventh birthday. One day when they were playing catch outside, a screech of what sounded like a bird filled the air and it zoomed down to the yard.

Three Harpies zipped into the yard and attacked Excalibur's father Dwayne. Excalibur freaked out, throwing whatever closest to him at the Harpies, which was his necklace. As he threw it, it became a bronze-gold sword and embedded itself in the back of the Harpy's back. All that was left of the Harpy was dust. Excalibur retrieved his sword, then the Harpies focused on Excalibur.

His father was fast on his feet and sped away. Excalibur slashed and sliced at the bird women, turning them to ashes that lied upon his feet. Excalibur never understood what happened that day, but he knew his father would have the knowledge and knew what to say at all the right moments.

His father handed Excalibur the note his mother left his father when he was first born and when he was a newborn. "Greek goddess, how is that possible?" He asked his father. "I don't know, we fell in love, you were born, she left me the note and left." His father said. Excalibur didn't know much, so he listened to his father.

A year or so later, a few months after Excalibur's twelfth birthday, new neighbors moved into the vacant house next door. The next door neighbor's son was about the same age as Excalibur, so they easily became friends. The next door neighbor's son's name was Damian. He was always polite and very nice to Excalibur.

He would always call him "King" because of his name reminding him of the medieval ages, hence the nickname "King". A few years later, once Excalibur was about a sophomore in high school, at the age of 16, the class went on a school trip into the woods for a three day camping trip. "King" and Damian were partners and they were in the back of the line.

After the second night on the camping trip fell, Damian woke Excalibur late in the night. He said he was hungry and he needed a flashlight and he didn't want to steal Excalibur's. Excalibur followed Damian through the forest until they came across a stone arch. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." He read with little hesitation.

"King, its where you belong, your mother would want you here, scurry in go on." Damian said the night that they reached the gate. "Are you sure?" He asked with hesitation. "Yes, I'm positive. I'm a satyr, we lead campers like you here, hurry get in before the other students see you." Damian said as he showed his goat legs to Excalibur. "Fine, it feels right. Thank you Damian, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Excalibur scurried into the camp. Excalibur has spent the last month and a half at camp.

Weapons: Excalibur's weapon is his necklace that turns into a Celestial Bronze necklace in certain points of emergencies, as such of a monster attack or a fight with another camper. It turns back into a necklace when you twist the hilt of the sword counter-clockwise.
