Archived:Qwenter

Personality
Qwenter is generally a lone-wolf, living and working alone, but he will work with others, if he has to. Qwenter doesn't form strong bonds with other people, and is untrusting of most people. Ever since the incident with James, Qwenter feared most people, but he also stands up to the people who he has to. Bullies, jerks, and people similar to that.

History
Born somewhere in Detroit. His father disappeared, a one night stand with his mother, who gave him up for adoption as soon as he was born. Alec never knew his birth parents, so he ended up with a foster home. At his schools, he was always picked on for never knowing his parents. The bullies often taunted him, saying things like "Your parents gave you up," and "They thought you were so ugly, you were given up." He tried to run away, but always ended up getting caught and in trouble. Alec was raised in one of the rougher neighborhoods of Detroit, Across the 8 Mile. Alec took the name Qwenter in homage to his foster brother, who used that name in street rap battles with his crew. Alec's brother, real name James, was brutally murdered, stabbed 14 times in the chest, right outside of his apartment. He was too... too horrified to turn away. Alec was 10 when this happened. That was the night he ran off for good.

Alec was taken in by the crew of his brother, taking his name and place in the crew, carrying at all times. The first time he had to use the gun, 6 years after the murder of his brother, the bullet passed straight through his target and ended up beaten within an inch of his life. He was quickly saved by the other members of his gang, then taken to the hospital. He was left in a coma for three days, and what he saw was... supernatural. He saw faces he'd never seen before, creatures of mythical proportions. Moments before he awoke, he heard a whisper. "Camp Half-blood" the voice whispered. He was awake immediately afterwards, surrounded by his crew mates. They explained everything to him. Everything. From what Camp was to who he truly was. They told him they always had a person who could see through the Mist so near him at all times, all to protect him. His best friend in the crew was a satyr. They explained everything. He was part of their family and they knew that the monsters would swarm him, a young demigod with no weapons training, just a gun that shot Celestial Bronze bullets. The guys always protected Alec, keeping him safe from the monsters who attacked him, or whoever was stupid enough to. The gun was a normal Beretta. The others managed to get some Celestial Bronze (never told how) and managed to get custom bullets made out of it. They weren't even true half-bloods.

They were "clear-sighted mortals," except for one, who always stuck with Alec. After a few weeks, he began a trip to Camp Half-Blood in New York. He snuck onto a bus in Detroit and worked his way down, switching buses at every stop. Along the way, he swiped some clothes and his guitar, the Gibson Les Paul. He taught himself during the nights of his long bus ride.. He eventually found his way here, to Camp Half-Blood.
