Claiming:Camp/Byron

Name: Byron

Species: Automaton

Gender: Male

God parent: Hephaestus (creator)

Personality: He is reserved and calm most of the time. He has a gentle and peaceful nature but takes aggresive action when certain situations apply for it. He is aloof most of the time too as he likes to be alone and do nothing. If not, think.

Appearance: He has the appearance of a 15-year old boy with messy greenish gray hair, fair skin, average height and medium built.

History: During the last stage of the Trojan War, Hephaestus decided to create an automaton that will serve as back-up when the battle is not in their favor. Actually, Byron was formerly called Pridd and his real appearance is of a big, blue-steeled walking weapons machine that looked like a real automaton (or robot). Pridd fought hard in the war but due to his slowness, he received massive damages. Hephaestus realized Pridd was useless now so he decided to completely shut him down and throw it at the junkyard. Around 1997, a boy named Byron, a child of Hephaestus himself was dying because of malaria. A few days afterwards, he died and his soul was sent to the Underworld. Hephaestus watched from the heavens as Byron's body was buried. He suddenly had an idea. He saw his son's prowess in battle and was amazed of his skill so he decided to make his body an automaton. He got the necessary materials from Pridd's mechanism, put it in his body and requested Hades to release Byron's soul from the Fields of Asphodel and encased it in his body. He now lives a second life with his modified body, serving has guard on the borders, scout around camp and help demigods when needed.

Weapons: Although he doesn't have the many weapons Pridd once had, he wields an unusually-shaped two handed sword with spines.

Abilities:
 * He has his body modified to become more resistant in steel weapons and physical attacks.
 * He is very resistant to fire but weak against acid.
 * Using the special goggles he wears, he can determine heat temperatures and weak pressure points, store enemy images and data and enhance his accuracy.
 * He is very resistant to electricity and can activate devices and machines at will.
 * He moves, thinks and talks like a normal person.
 * He can disrupt signal connection of devices within a 600m radius.
 * He can repair minor to moderate damages in his system.
