God/Titan: Hermes, Zeus, or Nyx

Appearance (optional): > (Model is Kang Min Hyuk)

Personality (at least a sentence or two): Park is somewhat ambitious when it comes to knowledge. He yearns to learn more and has an obsession with reading anything and everything he can get his hands on. He believes in logic and explanation and anything un-explainable or not understandable to him will not be tolerated lightly. Park is extremely sensitive and often cares much about how others portray him, although he struggles in social interaction greatly. He is very shy and is very rare to hear him speak out, however whenever he's willing too, he can be very bold and confident, such as standing up to a bully or being the first to start a conversation (please note this would be extremely rare).

Park is somewhat conservative yet can be talkative when he wants to. He has good skills with mechanics and is very resourceful, as shown from his make-shift slingshots he's made over the years.

History (more than a paragraph): Somewhere in South Korea an incident happened that changed Moon Dae-Won's life forever. Moon Dae-Won was the family's "good girl". She had several other siblings who had either dropped out of school, were failing school miserably, or dead. Moon never went to parties, or stayed out late, she followed every concept, every rule that was put out for her to follow without a second thought. Her parents were always pushing her sisters and brothers to be like her, and this made them more bitter then you could imagine.

One evening, Moon had been taking a walk through the neighborhood to get ready for coming exams in school when she got a call from her mother demanding she come to the house right now. Surprised, she dashed down the last few blocks until she reached her house. Out on the lawn, her mother was yelling something unintelligible from where Moon stood at, her younger brother Mun-Shee. Feeling sympathy for her brother, she cut in on her mother and asked her what was going on. This time her mother slapped Moon across the face and demanded she leaved this house for her "unspeakable act against this family".

Moon gawked at her mother as tears threatened to stream down her face. Her mother yelled at her again to get her stuff and leave, shouting things like "how dare you!" and "do you know how hard we work to give you a future? It's gone to waste!" Now Moon broke down in tears as she was thrown out of her house, but before she left she asked what she had done wrong. Her mother responded, "Moon Dae-Won! You disappoint me! After all we've spent on you, after all we've down and you betray us like this. Mun-Shee caught you in fighting an upperclassman in the alley, where did you get that knife from Moon? You killed  him. We do not house murderers."

It was partially true, but it was out of self defense. He was harassing her, she never meant for the blade to stab him so deep. Moon left the household broken, and hopeless. For the next several years, Moon learned how to survive on the streets, and even finished her schooling. However she did not have enough money for college and could not go. One night, Moon stumbled upon a street fight, drunk from some alcohol she found on the edge of sidewalk, not knowing what it was and desperate for a drink. Here she met a man who's name shall remain anonymous. He took her in for a few months and later provided her money for college.

Moon never met this man again until several years later where she had just graduated from college and accepted a job at one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It had been a rough day at work and she had arrived three hours later then usual. However, standing in her kitchen was no other then mystery man. Mystery man started to "flirt" with Moon, and no sooner then twelve nights later had he accomplished what he wanted.

Park Dae-Won was born on August 23rd in Seoul, South Korea. At the time, Moon had no intention of caring for the child and wanted to give him up for adoption but only a few months with the infant changed her mind. Although she resented the Mystery man who later revealed himself as Hermes (Or Zeus) messenger of the Olympians, and god of traveling, thieves, roads, merchants, etc, Park was her sunshine in the midst of life. Hermes had gave Moon ownership to a townhouse in uptown Seoul as he was also the god of money and hospitality. There Park lived in comfort, with the needs of any everyday child. It was just that one day that changed his life.

On the chilly day of October 31st, also known as Halloween to the Americans Park was attacked. Park was only 11 at the time when it happened. He had been up late studying some algebra as he was in advanced classes when something shook the house. Park decided to conclude it was an earthquake, but it the house shook again, and this time more harshly. He fell from his bed and crashed into the closet door as he felt the house be ripped from it's hinges and shaken.

"I... Smell... Demigod!" a loud crude voice hollered from outside. Park cringed from the volume of his voice and crawled out into the hall where he found his mother struggling to get to him. She was yelling something that sound like, "Get outside!" but he couldn't be too sure. The next great shake flipped his mother from her hold on the hinges of the bathroom door and she fell, fortunately into a sofa.

"Mom!" Park yelled as she fell. The next shake was consistent resulting in him falling himself. He slid across the hall floor towards the stairs trying to get a grip on something, however he wasn't so lucky. He rammed into the wall, head first, then his crumpled body flew to collide with the living room floor. He collasped on the coffee table. With a pained groan he struggled to get up. This is when the house finally flipped upside down and the ceiling became the floor. Before a single thing can move, the house is teared apart in two halves and the open side tumbles towards the ground.

Park fell to the ground. He landed in great pain and looked up to see a giant humanoid figure with one eye staring down at him. "Demigod!" it roared. The monster dropped the two halves of the house where Moon fell and was crushed with a piece of furniture. Oblivious to his mother's quick death, he scrambled to his feet and ran.

The monstrous humanoid followed him downtown, where it lost Park to traffic, tall buildings and the mix of smells and sounds. Park later escaped unto an airplane trip to New York where he lived on the streets for several years before eventually a satyr found him and led him to Camp Half-Blood.

Weapon(s) (optional): None, besides the dagger he aquired at Camp Half-Blood and his make-shift sling shots
