Claiming:Camp/Calixto

Name: Calixto L. Ryler Gender: Male

God Parent: Asteria, Tyche, Zephyrus

Mortal Parent: John Ryler (if Zephyrus Jane Ryler)

Appearance: See Picture

Age: 14

Personality: Calix has a laid back personality, often hanging back unless with close friends. He is often very sarcastic and witty, expressing a high intellect in a nonchalant manner. Being an acrobat, he is often a show off. However, if you annoy him enough he can get fairly angry.

History: Calixto's father was a part of the famed trapeze group, the ''Shooting Stars. ''Intrigued by their name, Asteria herself decided to observe their performance. When she saw John up on the bars, she was smitten. After the show, she went to than him for the show, and after her greeting, it was obvious he liked her too. They fell in love and spent the next week together, but Asteria was forced to leave. It was a long 9 months before John saw his beloved again, and with her was a newborn baby. (Knowing the dangers of being a demi-god, Asteria trusted the fact that the circus travelled the world would keep her child safe.) Asteria apologized for forcing a responsibility onto him, but John shrugged it off and thanked her for their short lived love. That night, Asteria left again.

After being left once again, John felt something empty in him, yet he continued to lovingly raise Calix. And so, Calixto was raised as an acrobat like his father, and what an acrobat he was! From his first practice, he showed unbelievable prodigious skill at his trade. Soon, he was a regular part of the trapeze act, and became popular to the circus-goers.

Then it happened. One night after an exceptionally successful show, while he and his family were relaxing by a campfire, Laistrygonians caught his scent and attacked. HIs father was killed, and a good portion of the troupe was injured, but Calixto was nowhere to be found.

Apparently, another stray demigod who was at the show managed to rescue Calix and helped him run away. The demi-god told him that that group of cannibals had been chasing him for weeks and he didn't know why. But he knew they were chasing Calix for the same reason. Eventually, the two became best of friends and travelled up the East Coast running from monsters. Eventually though, the gang of Laistrygonians caught their scent once again. But this time, they were cornered between a river and a strawberry farm. Knowing one of them was sure to die, Calixto's friend sacrificed himself to give him some time to run towards the barn. Unfortunately, one giant caught up to him and almost killed him, but he managed to slip past the border of the mysterious strawberry farm just in time. He had made it into Camp Half-Blood

(This part is something I was wondering as to whether I could make him the same old character, as I went inactive during a quest)

HIs mission had been a mixed success. True, he helped rid the Space Needle of wolves, but he had to sacrifice himself to let his teammates return. It had been months since then, and he still hadn't made it back to Camp Half-Blood due to his injuries. His right eye had been damaged, forcing him to where a magical contact lense(courtesy of Mom) and his leg had been broking, setting him back weeks. And it seemed that every time an injury healed, he got hurt once more. All he knew was that after months, he was finally close to New York, close to home.

Weapons: Silver sword (turns into pocket watch w/ chain)

Contact Lense that lets him detect ripples in the Mist



This is actually just a re-make of one of my older characters. After I went inactive, they were deleted, so I decided this could be an opprotunity to edit their backstories, personalities, etc.

If it's okay, I could also re-make the same character page and use the same Word Bubble (If this claim is approved)  Ego opus conquiescamus 23:19, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
