Archived:Axel Evaristo Osburn

Personality
Axel is what his father liked to call a rebel or freedom fighter, the boy often stood in defiance against corrupt systems or regulations and had an unquestionable passion for defending those who lack the ability to defend themselves. As a direct result of his defiant nature he could often be misinterpreted as being thick skulled or stubborn, but in reality only cements himself when his ideals or beliefs are put in harm's way. Axel's a rather caring individual with a great disdain for behavior or actions that could be seen as oppressive, he sees his own incompetence or failure to meet the expectations of people who are counting on him as dishonorable. He has a thirst for justice, even if his way of acquiring and bringing about said justice are less than favorable in the eyes of those around him. He never followed the crowd nor was he the type to succumb to peer pressure as he could care less about the view people had of him, as long as he successfully did his job and did so with the idea of justice being his guide then all was well. From his choice of fashion to his methods on dispensing order- Axel was a renegade. The boy is quite creative and a very methodical individual with most of his plans often being followed to the letter and if they're not met at the optimum level he usually has some form of back-up plan.

History
Born in Westchester county, Axel would spend most of his childhood growing up in Mt. Vernon East where he'd live a quiet life filled with the love and care of his father, he never met his mother with his father often telling the boy that she was a very special judge and was needed in various places around the world. The boy while having his own doubts as to whether or not his mother had such an exhausting career would find it difficult to see her seemingly inactive role in his life as anything more than her simply abandoning him. Whenever the boy tried to question his father on what his mother was like Umi would simply smile and say that she was a beautiful woman with long black hair, worthy of marrying a king. Axel's father was a writer and so spent most of his time at home watching over the demi-titan as his would-be spouse had asked him to, it was tough on both of them, having to live without the unconditional love of the woman who had such importance to them. Umi, Axel's father, met the boy's mother during his time at his university with him quickly growing a friendly bond with her even with him only ever getting to see her once or twice a week due to her "night job". Eventually through years of getting to know one another and finding love in one another's company, the two would buckle down and have a child, but within one month of the child being born things had changed. His wife over the years would slowly divulge information about her true duty as a goddess and revealed to Umi her true identity as Themis, but even with that knowledge and the risks that came with being together the mortal stuck by her thus earning his place as Themis' lover. The two had even built a house together - a house that would be decorated with Celestial Bronze doors and porch, implemented into the design by Themis as a safety precaution in case any monsters found her child and lover out.

As far as Axel could tell the only thing he could recall that came even remotely close to something resembling his mother would be his white wristbands with a blue capital "T" on them, which he kept as reminders of the mother he had never been blessed with the opportunity to get to know. When Themis left Umi with the child the mortal man would do everything in his power to keep the boy safe though he recognized Axel would need his space as a result of not being able to experience the unconditional love that only a mother could provide. At the age of 10 on a winter night in the middle of a snow filled January- Axel would experience his first monster attack after unknowingly using his powers and as direct consequence drawing the attention of monsters. While resting comfortably in the warmth of his home he heard scratching outside, on his room's window frame, when he went to go see what was responsible for the noise he had been met with a woman in a leather coat, her face was stricken with what one could only describe as insatiable hunger. Her hands weren't hands at all, but in fact talons, despite the sweet voice in which she addressed him Axel had stayed inside despite all of the woman's attempts at coercing him to leave the safety of his home, throughout the entirety of the time he spent denying entry to the woman and denying requests for him to leave with her to go "have fun" his father had been asleep. Upon the sound of glass being pushed with vigorous talons Axel's father would wake up and quickly come to his son's aid, the two would find the woman's alluring tone to be quite hard to say no to, with her even going so far as to make romantic advances on the man from beyond the enchanted glass. Umi would tell his son that his mother had made sure to make it hard for any "bad guys" to try and gain entry into their home without any form of defenses impeding their progress.

The woman would leave one day and return the following night, and did this for many months with her talons always scraping at the window frame of Axel's room, all in an attempt of getting her hands on the boy. One night in particular would prove to be by far the most dangerous when one of the neighbors unknowingly aided the Harpy in her struggle of gaining entrance into their home, and upon gaining passage she attacked Axel and his father. Umi as a present to aid him in his struggles to protect his son had been gifted the ability of Clear Sight by Themis before she left so as to give the two a better chance at defending themselves from monstrous invaders- as she was forbidden from directly interfering with such matters. It was with this sight that Umi devised a plan that would include Axel crushing the Harpy's skull between the Celestial Bronze doors Themis had implemented into their home's design, within moments of consistent crushing the monster would lay dead- its dust spreading across the bamboo floor and even getting on Axel's hands. It was after this incident that on Axel's 11th birthday on September 26 that he would be taken to Camp Half-Blood where he would hone his gifts given to him through his genetic status as a demigod. After having been postponed until the Summer the two would depart for the camp where Axel would be signed up to stay year-round. On Half-Blood Hill- Umi would shed silent tears for his boy with whom he had grown to be so proud of, and hugged Axel ever so tightly with even the change of seasons during the Autumn looking upon their bond as a necessity in this life and the next. Umi left his boy with belongings given to him by Themis that were to be passed onto the child when his time to join the camp came, each passing moment and each word exchanged between the father and his son made the very trees weep oh so woefully. Thus far since his arrival at camp he's been on campgrounds for about a week.

Powers

 * Morality Removal- Children of Themis can cause someone to forget their current morals and act savagely for a short time, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
 * Pain Empowerment- Children of Themis, after receiving a wound, are able to use the justice of vengeance to power their next attack. This empowerment results in the attack having enhanced speed and strength.
 * Peace Inducement- Children of Themis are capable of forcing everyone near them for a short time into a state of lawful peace, where no one can fight. After the effects subside, it cannot be used again for the rest of the fight. The user is also unable to fight due to the lawful peace.
 * Law Summoning/Order Energy Force Field- Whenever a child of Themis takes part in a fight, a law automatically comes into existence, and its' purpose is to forbid enemies from attacking them. After this law is broken substantially, the user can create a field of energy that would imprison the opponent for a short time. The energy field would serve as a punishment for breaking the law. The target cannot escape in anyway, but also cannot be attacked while the imprisonment field is active. This power can only be used twice during a fight.
 * Clairvoyance- Children of Themis can see a few seconds into the future; allowing them to possibly predict the actions of others, but also hindering their sight at times.
 * Lie Detection- Children of Themis are able to detect any lie and know if someone's telling the truth or not, though it doesn’t always work. This works much better if the lie is directly related to a law or rule being broken.
 * Guilt Aura- Whenever someone is around a child of Themis, they’d feel at least slightly guilty for their wrongdoings. They can shut off this ability for a long time if they wish to do so.
 * Law Breaking Sense- Children of Themis can sense whenever a crime is occurring in a 10-meter distance, whether it’s illegal or just morally wrong. The user cannot sense crimes being committed against themselves.
 * Law Creation- Children of Themis can create a rule and can make someone follow that rule for a short period of time, as long as the rule does no harm and doesn’t completely stop an opponent from fighting, as well as a suitable punishment if the rule is broken. Possible punishments are substantial pain inducement, banishment (via instant teleportation) from the surrounding area, power/weapon negation (only one weapon or power) for a short time. All punishments subside after a short time; only one rule may be enforced at a time.
 * Justice Empowerment- If an ally is wounded, Children of Themis are temporarily empowered to achieve justice for them towards the one who wounded them; this effect greatly increases the strength and speed of their attacks until justice is achieved.
 * Order Inducement- Children of Themis are able to turn even the most un-ordered situations into well organized and properly structured systems. An example would be a chaotic battle, where movements and emotions are wild and erratic: the user would cause the battle to stop or organize it to become more calm, precise and well thought out.
