He weighs about 165 pounds and is around 5'11 (will develop once page is done. not sure if model will be allowed but can edit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:William_Moseley_at_the_2008_Tribeca_Film_Festival.JPG)

Personality: David is first and foremost an artist, this means that he prefers to observe the world instead of actively living in it, this means that as a person he is quite shy until you get to know him. As he lived with his dad in New York and met many influential artists and writers his views are liberal (being gay was never an issue) and he knows what he is talkiing about when it comes to Art and Popular culture. As a painter his favourite drawings are either abstracts such as Pollock or things to do with people in daily life and he is absolutely passionate about his crafts. However he doubts himself slightly and is aware of the need to not be vain, and perhaps has a slightly less vibrant personality as compared to his cabinmates.

History: He was born in Manhattan, NYC in 1995 when his father James Reynard, successful novelist and lecturer met Iris at a creative writing seminar. She stood out from the other students through her vibrant nature and ability to think outside of the box and the pair immediately hit it off, embarking on a short relationship that consisted of picnics in Central Park, fancy french restraunts and readings of Keats. Eventually after the pair spent a night together under the starry night and back at his place Iris was forced to leave him until David arrived several months later. He had an average and for a demigod somewhat happy childhood, spending his childhood around the creative giants of New York and developing his artistic skills by splashing paint around on canvases. His powers manifested around the age of fourteen where he started to instinctively manipulate light in order to help him out with Art Class. However an empousai posing as the new art teacher, Ms Stone attacked him during an extra-cirricular session at school, even minor demigods get found someday. He would have died if it were not for a satyr that had tracked him down and leaped at the she-demon, tossing David a sword. Unsure what to do he merely pointed the sword at her, refracting a prismatic beam of light to distract it while the Satyr could turn it into golden dust. David was then taken to camp by his father who explained everything on the way, and that he would be able to reach his full potential as an artist and demigod at camp. Soon as he arrived he was claimed and welcomed into the cabin. Nowadays he spends his time in the arts and crafts tent and the pegasi stables, hard at work.

Weapons: He prefers to fight with a shortsword that matches his slender figure, and often uses the reflective surface to aid him with reflecting beams of light as well as fighting. David also posesses a thin perspex shield that he had crafted with the help of the Hephaestus cabin. This shield is not magical except for the fact that it can shrink into a gold drachma for easy mobility. However it is surprisingly resillient to attacks, and its' light weight makes it ideal for a hoplite shield. The clear surface also allows David options if he wishes to extend his powers over a wider arc by refracting them through the glass.
