Archived:Felix Neil

Appearance
Felix has pitch-black hair and dark green eyes. His face is usually etched in a playful grin. His chest is raked with a six-inch long claw mark, memory of an empousa attack.

Personality
People that have just met Felix would qualify him as 'crazy'. This due to him trying to forget his sad and painful past by always acting jolly. However, if anyone gets to know him better, they'll see he's a very sensitive person.

History
Joe Neil was a gambler. He would go everyday (or almost) to casinos and bet money in various games such as poker and roulette. He would always win loads of money, and one day as he was leaving the casino, a beautiful woman caught his eye and they fell in love. Joe never knew that woman was a goddess. After some time, they decided to have a baby. That baby was no one else than Felix. The day after he was born, Joe's wife disappeared without an explanation and Felix's father was never to be happy again.

Felix led a normal life at first, well succeeding in school and having good grades. He inherited some of his dad's luck, always winning in bets. Life at home wasn't so great, however. Joe would still go to the casino, returning home usually drunk, and was violent and aggressive towards his own son. Felix was beaten, and lived in pain and agony. Of course, he didn't tell anyone about it, not even his closest friends or other members of his family. He would stay silent and endure his father's violence.

Apart from that, his existence continued smoothly, until the age of 12. As he was going to take the bus, his teacher told him to meet in his office. Felix did and the teacher was not acting like one. "I have smelled your odor for weeks, child. I waited all year for this moment. The moment where I would eat another demigod!" she said. The teacher transformed into an empousa and tried to kill him in one hit, but Felix suddenly got a burst of adrenaline and managed to roll to escape the empousa. Of course, the battle was helplessly lost. The empousa jumped on him, raking her claws down his chest, determined to rip him apart. Just as Felix thought it was over, the empousa screeched loudly and exploded into dust. When the dust cleared, there a was a blonde-haired girl of about 17 years old holding a sword in her hand. "God, I'm glad you're safe. A second later and you would be demigod meat!" she exclaimed. At Felix's confused stare, she smiled and explained everything on the way to get outside the school. Everything was extremely complicated, and all the little boy understood was that he was a demigod, monsters are everywhere to kill you, the mist hides dangerous hazards, and their home was Camp Half-Blood. As the girl spoke, Felix nodded again and again, not understanding what she was saying. "Oh, and my name is Julie, by the way." Felix nodded again. He was going on a crazy adventure with no idea what he was going to do. Julie and him spent three months together, where Felix became a 13-year-old. Battling monsters on the way (Julie doing most of the work), Felix was worried sick about his father. When he asked Julie about it, she just shrugged and said 'the Mist' would take care of it. He was beginning to wonder which one of them was becoming crazy. Julie taught Felix how to sword-fight, showing him simple techniques and quick blocks. He learned them fast, and excelled at manipulating a dagger. So Julie offered him one, a shiny Celestial Bronze dagger. That was the event that would make the two best of friends. They were almost there. Julie had said that the boundaries of camp was at the big tree at thle horizon. Excited, Felix began to run towards, but a yelp coming from Julie stopped him. He looked around and saw seven hellhounds. It was an ambush. "Run!" she screamed. "I'll take care of this!" Felix hesitated, but then took off at a sprint, running for camp. He could hear two hellhounds chasing him. A few feet away from destination, a hellhound pounced on him. Felix stabbed blindly behind him with his dagger and hit the monster in the gut. The hellhound disintegrated into dust, but there was still the second hellhound, who pounced just like the first. Felix never got the chance to lift his weapon when the monster crashed onto him, its jaws open for the final bite. Felix closed his eyes and heard a sound like strings being released. He dared open his eyes. Five arrows were sticking out of the hellhound's head. The rest was blurry in his head, he remembered being dragged into the boundaries by other campers. He had arrived to Camp Half-Blood. He smiled, proud of himself. However, it disappeared when he learned he would never see Julie again. As a result, Felix now keeps his dagger as his most prized possession. And he swore that, one day, he would avenge Julie's death.
