History: (For Ariadne)

Jason Rutter was a renowned expert on ancient architecture. He began to travel around the world as soon as he graduated from college and enjoyed visiting different places all around the world and made many ground-breaking discoveries. He still felt as if something pivotal in his career was missing though. One day, he got a lead as to the discovery of the ruins of what might be the legendary labyrinth from Greek mythology. He immediately traveled to Greece to look into it and found himself in need of a guide. He ended up hiring a local girl who lived close to the dig site. The girl was beautiful and had a vast knowledge on the history of the labyrinth. Jason was in love. One day he finally got the nerve to ask her on a date and she accepted. They began dating for several months until funding began running out for his dig since no significant evidence had been found to prove the ruins were those of the labyrinth. Jason refused to give up. He went and talked to several rich friends of his parents and got more money. When he returned to Greece a few weeks later, his beloved guide was gone. He searched and searched but she had left without a trace and the ruins yielded no more evidence. Eventually he had to leave Greece, since everything about it reminded him of her and his failed excavation. He traveled incessantly after that, giving lectures or showcasing artifacts he had discovered at museums. He was back at his hotel after a long day of speaking about ancient Greecian columns, when he heard a sound outside the door to his room. He slowly opened the door and found baby Terrence along with a note from his mother explaining how she was the goddess Ariadne and couldn’t keep Terrence. Jason took in Terrence but changed nothing about his lifestyle. Terrence never had a true home or any true friends so he eventually taught himself that everything was temporary and not to be trusted. He got in a few arguments with his father over the years and even ran away once. Jason was in America for an archeological convention when the first monster attack happened. Terrence had been 16 for only a few weeks when it happened. He was drumming his fingers on the bench outside of the university, waiting for his dad to finish up when a large man sat next to him. He took no notice and continued to wait. Growing uneasy at his dad’s lateness and the close proximity to the stranger Terrence started to get up. The stranger caught his arm though and Terrence saw he had only one eye. He shook his arms free but now the Cyclops was up as well and advancing toward him threateningly. He turned to run but tripped. The Cyclops loomed over him and prepared to finish him off. Terrence closed his eyes to wait for what would inevitably happen next. Suddenly the Cyclops became panicked and began patting imaginary walls and peering down invisible corridors. Terrence was wondering what it was doing when a limping stranger came over and pulled him aside. “That will wear off soon. We need to go.” “Where?” Terrence asked cautiously. “Camp Half-Blood.” The satyr took Terrence to Camp and explained that he was a demigod and he guessed a son of Ariadne according to what he did with the Cyclops. When he crossed over the camp border, he was quickly claimed by Ariadne.

(For Harmonia)

Jason Rutter was a troubled young man. He’d grown up with rich, demanding parents who had wanted him to become a lawyer or doctor when he had no knack for either. He had always secretly wanted to be a musician but had never told his parents for fear that they would laugh at him. When he told his parents he wanted to drop out of college since he didn’t want to become a doctor or lawyer his father flew into a rage and said if he didn’t continue going to college he would be disowned and would have to live on his own. Jason refused to back down, and provided for himself by singing and playing guitar at local cafes and restaurants. He eventually began to notice that a woman would come every day and sit and listen to his music. He didn’t say anything to her until one day she came up to compliment him on his music. They hit it off and immediately fell in love. He told her about the argument with his parents and she understood and was able to make him feel better when he thought no one else could. After months of dating, she persuaded him to go back and tell his parents he was sorry for telling them so suddenly he didn’t want to be a doctor or lawyer but he knew he had to follow a different path. His parents grudgingly accepted it and forgave him but didn’t agree to let him fully be a part of the family again. He went back to tell the good news to her but she was gone. He played at the café for months every day in hopes that she would come back, but she never did. He had just gotten back to his apartment when he heard something right outside the door. He opened it and found Terrence along with a note from his mother telling Jason she was Harmonia and was entrusting him with their child. He took in Terrence and raised him with no knowledge of who his mother really was. He taught Terrence to play the guitar and let him play at some of his gigs. Terrence saw a few suspicious people now and again that sent chills down his spine, but never actually knew they were monsters until a few days after his 16th birthday. He and his dad had just finished up, and his dad was in the back getting his money for the week when a man got up and approached Terrence. Terrence turned to face the man, figuring he was going to comment on that day’s music. Instead he pushed Terrence over a set of tables and chairs. Terrence, lying on the ground almost unconscious, saw the man (who he could now see only had one eye) hovering over him. He used the last ounce of his strength to wish that the Cyclops wouldn’t harm him. When he came to a satyr he recognized as a man from the café told him the Cyclops after throwing him across the room, had just calmly walked away. He also told Terrence that with the consent of his father he was now on the way to Camp Half-Blood. When he crossed the Camp border he was claimed almost immediately by Harmonia.

(For Tyche)

Jason Rutter was a magician that had fallen upon hard times. His acts never seemed to go right and his audiences were becoming bored. That is, until the day he got a new assistant. When she was around everything seemed to work perfectly and the audience loved her for her beauty. Jason and his assistant fell in love and dated for several months. One day she didn’t show up for the show. He had to continue by himself but things didn’t do right, just as it had been before his beloved assistant had come into his life. A few months later, baby Terrence arrived at his doorstep along with a letter saying that his assistant was the goddess Tyche and instructed him to take care of their baby. He did, and ended up using Terrence in a lot of his acts. Terrence carried a little of his mother’s luck and the show’s began to get better as his powers grew the older he got. Eventually, he began to figure out that his father wanted him in the show for his luck and not because he was his son. Devastated he ran away, where after a few months of living on his own, he encountered a Cyclops. He could somehow always be one step ahead of the Cylcops and managed to narrowly get away using one of his father’s magic tricks. Running away from the Cyclops, he ran into a satyr who convinced him to come with it to Camp Half-Blood. Once there, he was claimed by Tyche.
