Claiming:Camp/Paolosolonu'u and Paavo Akana

Paolosolonu'u Alani Akana



16-year-old ☼ Daughter of Aetna ☼ Hawai'ian Fire

History
Paolosolonu'u and Paavo were born to a simple, God-fearing man, Alaka'i Akana. Alaka'i, who is referred by his friends as simply Ala, hadn't done much in his life. He and his family were natives of the island of Hawai'i, near the volcano Mauna Loa, in a small village. One where everyone knew each other.So when a beautiful fiery soul came around for a summer, people noticed. Especially Ala. He was encouraged to take a shot at the woman, who claimed to be a simple traveler who goes by the name of Alani. The two hit it off, and before the summer ended, Alani disappeared. But Ala's life changed forever, nine months later when Alani returned with not one, but two little souls in her arms.

Alani was saddened by the fact that she could not stay - But the safest place for the children was with Ala, she assured. When he asked why, she answered with honestly, no matter how much he disbelieved. She told him she was the Goddess Aetna. A Volcanic deity overseeing the protection of Mount Etna, where the Olympians shape their Celestial Bronze into weapons. In fact, she brought the children a gift for them as they grow up; Matching necklaces. Celestial Bronze medallions that, Aetna explained, would transform into a weapon when they most need it.

Ala, who was overwhelmed by this information, took the children as requested. The twins, a boy and a girl, were named Paolosolonu'u, after her grandmother, and Paavo, after his grandfather. Paolosolonu'u ended up going by Polly for most of her life, and as the two grew older, Polly seemed to mature just a bit faster, making her seem the eldest of the two, although Paavo was born a minute and 28 seconds earlier than Polly. The two grew comfortably for a while. Polly, Paavo, and Ala always took at least once a week off to just go out an explore, inching ever closer to the Volcano they lived near.

Ala always watched out for the Twin's abilities - Something Aetna warned him about. Both of the children were drawn to the heat of the Volcano, and seemed to be a natural at hiking and mountain climbing. Unfortunately, nobody ever knew what lied in the wilderness of the Hawai'ian Islands. When the twins were twelve, Ala left them alone for a while in the wilderness on their way to the hiking trail. That was when the twins heard a mysterious growl. When they Polly turned around, Paavo was pounced on by a strange, large-looking hound. The weirdest thing happened, though. The hellhound's bites were met with pure obsidian, formed on Paavo's arm before the skin could be penetrated. Paavo managed to push the monster off, just in time to pull Polly away as a secondary monster attempted to bounce on her from behind.

After Paavo pushed Polly out of the way, she noticed the necklace her father had given her, and her brother's matching one, glowing and vibrating. She pulled it off to examine it. As soon as Polly pulled hers off, it changed in front of her eyes into a pair of Samoan fire knives. When she looked over to Paavo, his turned into an old weapon their father used to talk about - A Shark-toothed sword. Two traditional weapons, meant for the twins, lined with Celestial Bronze.

Ala came back to a scene; The two were standing over the limp and bloody bodies of, what looked like to him, two dogs. Their arms covered in obsidian-like bracers. As they turned to face Ala, their weapons transformed back into a medallion, and the rock-like armor disintegrated. The three were left with stunned questions. Ala would provide as much as he could. He explained that the two are children of the Volcanic Goddess Aetna, whom he met and had a fling with. As weirded out as the twins were, they believed him. Everything was too crazy to not. But though they were shocked at their newfound heritage, this also opened a whole new window of possibilities.

Polly and Paavo spent a lot of time not only hiking up to the volcano but also spending most of their time there to comfortably practice their newfound powers. This went on for four years, their control over their abilities creasing along with the amount of hellhounds and other creatures they happened to attract. But everything changed one day.

A monster had come into their village. It was at home that the Twins were hunted down, bodies in the wake of a deadly serpent woman. A Lamiae. The creature made men and woman scream as she interrogated them about the Demigod twins. Screams that only stopped with the snap of a neck. Least to say, it was terrifying. It took every bit of willpower for the children to act, but knowing they couldn't defeat it, the twins decided on a plan of action; Luring the woman away from the village, to the Volcano. That's what they managed to do. Once they got the Lamiae to the volcano, the twins began working to make the volcano erupt, just a tiny bit. Enough to kill the Lamiae and save their village. They managed to, the Mauna Loa erupted. The Lamiae died easily after that, but that was when the twins ran into a very different problem; Being unable to stop the flow of lava.

As much as Polly and Paavo tried, they could only simply watch as their village burnt to the ground with everyone in it. Including their father. Even though they tried everything, the damage was irreversible. Their entire village was eradicated. The twins spent their sixteenth birthday, devastated and alone.

In a dream that night, they were greeted by a seemingly familiar face. Thought it seemed much more than a dream. The ethereal figure greeted them was Aetna, the Goddes of Volcanoes. Their mother. Aetna explained that she understood their current blight, but she has a way for them to be safe. If they travelled from their village, Waikola, to Hilo, then they could find a man working at a middle school, - Joshua. If they found him, they could ask him about Camp Half-Blood. Polly and Paavo agreed to do this, and though it took a while for them to make it to Hilo, when they found Joshua, their lives took a turn for the better. He took them to Camp Half-Blood, where Polly and Paavo were claimed by their Volcanic mother.

Personlity
Polly is a leader. She's smart, voracious, and smart. She's proud of her accomplishments, and always looking to make more - But she's also depressed. Polly's lost so much, and she feels like a lot of it is her fault. Polly feels responsible for her brother, and thus is crazily protective. She would be of anybody she considers family. Despite her inner turmoil, losing her village and learning to protect herself and Paavo from supernatural creatures, Polly is fairly calm. She's especially calm in the wilderness, where she feels most at home.

To Polly, the most important thing is to keep herself and her siblings comfortable around her. Polly aims to be liked, as if she's trying to make it so people don't hate her. She does enough of that herself. Polly tries her best not to show how afraid she is of hurting any more people, and because of their relationship, Polly relies on Paavo for a lot of emotional support, whether he realises it or not. Polly spends a lot of time alone, or with Paavo. Either she's training, working out, or listening to music and is out and about in nature. She enjoys the lone time. The silence helps her think.

Weapon
A pair of Samoan Fireknives made out of Celestial Bronze. With her abilities, she can heat up the metal enough for it to light up on fire.
