History
Birth

My mother has a friend who lives in Florida. One February, she was visiting her for her birthday, and she took a walk along the beach, hoping to just get away for awhile and figure her thoughts. She saw a man sitting in a beach chair and walked up to him. My mom told me that he was the most handsome man she has ever seen. He saw beauty in her, so they walked together until sunset, talking about their childhood and background, even Poseidon telling her who he was. Poseidon went home with my mom to her friends house. They were infatuated by each other, and everyone knows what happens then in a relationship. But when my mom found out she was pregnant, Poseidon left, giving my mother directions to where I'll be safe and leaving my mom heartbroken, yet she always told me that that was the best part of her life.

Childhood

I started kindergarten like a normal kid, and spent the rest of my elementary years pretty normally: making friends, doing homework, you know, classic kid stuff. But that all changed when I was 8. I don't live in Florida, but in Pennsylvania, so I have these woods behind my house with a creek running through them. One of the trees, a giant willow, was always my favorite. I took a walk in late spring up to that tree, but on the way, I saw a teenager. She fair light-brown skin the color of the tree and her hair was long like the willows branches and the color of the fresh buds. She smiled at me and went around the tree to where I couldn't see her. After recovering from shock, I ran up and looked around the tree, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen. I later learned that she was a dryad, or tree nymph. Since then, I never went around the tree (until I finally figured out what it was). When I was in 10, during recess on the playground, I noticed a man in a trench coat and fedora standing by a tree on the other side of the fence. The strange thing was, he only had one eye. The teachers asked him to please leave, so he left, mumbling in ancient Greek.

First Monster

I had this friend named Kyle in the summer when I was 12, who I thought was very odd at first: nibbling soda cans, always wanting to go to Mexican restaurants, and never wearing shorts, and sometimes we played "War" together where we'd pretend sticks were swords, spears, or daggers and pretend fight each other. We headed down to the park just to talk, so we sat on the swings. We watched as people passed by with dogs or kids on their bikes, but as we were walking home from the other side of the hill the separated the playground from the field, Kyle and I ran up to the top and saw my first monster: an hellhound. Its razor sharp claws dug into a tree, making a horrible noise. Kyle grabbed something out of his pocket and tossed it to me, a four-colored pen. He told me to push down the blue one, so I did and the pen turned into a gleaming celestial bronze sword. He explained that that was a monster, and that he needed to kill it, then he told me to run. He then charged at the hellhound. The hellhound started running up the hill towards us. Kyle made it half-way down the hill before he took off his pants. Underneath were goat legs. I stared at him in disbelief, but he told me to go. He ran down the hill and started kicking at the hellhound. The hellhound scratched at him and cut him down the arm. Kyle then came down and kicked the hellhound in the head. Seeing him fight like that I got mad, and next thing I know, water from the nearby pond came up and thundered down on the hellhound. Kyle stared at me in disbelief. People started gathering around. Kyle told me we had to get me home. We quickly got home and my mom started packing my bag. Apparently the real reason Kyle was my friend was that he was sent here to protect me. I asked her where we were going, and she said someplace safe. We caught the next flight out of there to New York City. My mom then rented a car and we made our way down Long Island.

Arrival at Camp

We finally ended in Montauk, late at night and exhausted. We drove down an old dirt road to a hill. My mom told me to go with Kyle to the valley on the other side. I grabbed my trunk and Kyle and I headed up as my mom kissed me goodbye saying "Stay safe." Kyle took me over the hill, and a man turned to look at me from the center of the area, by a small bonfire. Kyle told him who I was and explained what had happened, including that Poseidon was my father. The man came over to me. He introduced his name as Alexander the Great, and told me to follow him. Alexander brought me over to the cabin like structure, and stopped in front of a sea-blue one. We walked in and I felt right at home: the windows looked out at the ocean, and everything was blue. Alexander said he would explain more in the morning, and he did. So I was 12 when I finally arrived at this place. Kyle stayed at camp with me, and he continued to be one of my best friends. He gave me a tour of what I know now as Camp Half-Blood, or better: home.

Powers

 * ====Offensive====


 * Children of Poseidon have the ability to conjure a weapon out of water which can be used for combat; however, only one weapon can be conjured at a time and it cannot be bigger than the one who conjured it. They can also make small non-combative objects out of water.
 * ====Defensive====


 * Children of Poseidon can survive falling from high altitudes as long as they land in water, they can also go as deep into the ocean as they desire without any effects from the water pressure.
 * Children of Poseidon have a slightly higher resistance to burns.
 * Children of Poseidon have the ability to create a dome shaped torrent of water, roughly two to three times the size of the user, which can be used to block attacks for a very short time.
 * ====Supplementary====


 * Children of Poseidon have the ability to create minor earthquakes, only large enough to knock anyone in the immediate vicinity of the user off their feat, and only for a few seconds.
 * Children of Poseidon have the ability to Water Travel, a sort of teleportation; the further the distance, the more is energy drained, and there must be a substantial amount of water at both ends.
 * Children of Poseidon are able to telekinetically move water at a high rate. The larger amount of water used, the more energy it drains.
 * ====Passive====


 * Children of Poseidon can innately breathe underwater.
 * They have telepathic connections to equine animals (horses, zebras, giraffes, pegasi, hippocampi, etc.), and while submerged in water they can communicate with other children of Poseidon telepathically.
 * They, and everything they touch, stay or become dry in water, unless they want to become wet.
 * They can make air bubbles form under water.
