Claiming:Camp/James Alekperov

Name: James Alekperov

Gender: Male

God Parent: Athena, Hermes, Prometheus

Mortal Parent: Christy Alekperov

Appearance: James is 5'10" tall, with an average build and average-looking due to his naturally unattractive facial features. There was nothing remarkable about his face or body at all. Has long blond hair tied behind his neck like a ponytail, and he only wears a set of dark jeans, boots and a dark leather jacket. He also wears a small pendant around his neck that turns into any melee weapon when spun.

Personality: James was cunning, sadistic, and a ruthless tracker who hunted for sustenance, but chiefly for the joy of hunting. He also hunted animals for the same reason; he would kill an ally if it meant provoking the remnants to chase him, which was more fun and dangerous to his point of view. He was always open to dangerous challenges as long as he could have his fun. He often tormented his victims before killing them. James had no appreciation for human life and considered them nothing more than playful food. He enjoyed hunting so much that he would destroy anyone who got to his prey before he did. Also, he would never stop hunting until he got his prey.

History: Leroy Alekperov was an African American World War II veteran, the best friend of Jackson Gibbs. Both Leroy Alekperov and Jackson Gibbs during their youth fell in love with Ann (Athena). Because of views of interracial marriage at the time, Gibbs let Ann marry Alekperov, although they still remained in contact with each other. They were later enlisted into the Army, the Air Corps and participated in World War II. In large part because of his African heritage, he was denied the Congressional Medal of Honor until 1993, being one of only two people to actually receive the honor while still alive. Before the war Ann had a son. After the war, Leroy and Jackson tended a shop together. However, Ann appeared to them again and died, Leroy, believing that Ann let Jackson in on her “suicide”, and did not stop her, broke off their friendship and evicted him from the shop. His anger towards his former friend was strong enough that he refused to even acknowledge that he knew him.

A Native of Pennsylvania's coal mining region, James grew up in the small town of Stillwater, the only son of local General Store owner Leroy Alekperov. James left Stillwater and joined the Marines, while at the same time began a relationship with a local girl named Shannon Fielding, who was to become his wife in 1982.The couple had a daughter, Kelly, two years later, not long after which the family moved to California when James was transferred to a different marine base. However Jame's life changed forever, while he was serving with the Marine Corps in Operation Desert Storm. During his absence, Shannon bore witness to the murder of another Marine by the Mexican Reynosa drug cartel member Pedro Hernandez. When Shannon pledged to testify against Hernandez, she and her daughter Kelly, eight years old at the time, were placed under the protection of a federal agent. The agent was transporting Shannon and Kelly in the family van when a sniper shot the agent in the head, resulting in a fatal car crash which killed both Shannon and Kelly. James was later given the news by a Marine while serving in Desert Storm and was left grief-stricken. Consumed by the thought of avenging their deaths, James delivered his own brand of justice by shooting Hernandez in the head with his sniper rifle, killing the drug dealer instantly.
