Claiming:Camp/Cian Domes

Name: Cian Delve

God Parent: Iris

Species: Demigod

Age: 13

Mortal Parent: Evled Delve

Personality: His personality is a bit different than what a usual Iris child should be. Although an optimist when he was much younger, the environment and the events that occured in his life deafened that positivity and now he's a bit of both - not as optimistic as he was before. Cian is usually lost and thought and always dwells on the past instead of the present or future. He believes that he's one of the most unlucky people in existence because bad things keep happening to him.

History: Evled Delve was a teacher. One day, the school ended at 3:00 PM as usual, but he stayed around til 4:30 as he was sorting out the next lesson and was still talking to other teachers. He was walking and was waiting to cross the street to get to his house (the school he taught at was quite close to where he lived). It was pouring rain harshly that day, and he was standing there with no umbrella  - well in fact, he remembered that he doesn't even have an umbrella at all. Not at his house or anything. He didn't check the weather before he set out for work, so this was surprising.. Iris, the goddess, was disguised as a normal woman and was trying to find ideas for her store (the ROFL store). It was rare to see her leave the store but she was running out of ideas, so she snuck out this once. She saw Evled Delve standing in the rain without an umbrella in that harsh rain. Of course, there were plenty of people like Evled suffering in this downpour, but he had just a normal suit and no coat. Iris herself did not know it was going to rain either, and she was quite upset about this too, and she thought it'd be nice to give her umbrella to him. She walked over to the man.

"Hello, sir," she said to him. "You don't seem very happy standing in the rain... uh, sir?" Evled seemed to ignore her and just crossed the street as he saw there was no cars. Iris sighed, a bit annoyed. "Hey! Sir? Are you okay without an umbrella?" Evled turned back to her. "Hm? I'm quite fine, thank you." He kept walking but Iris rushed infront of him. "Look, just take this umbrella, alright?" She gave her umbrella to him. "What? Why would you give your umbrella to me? For free? Are you sure about this?" Iris simply smiled. "Yeah! Just take it. So the rain won't fall on you anymore!" Evled raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Ah, alright. Thank you." He turned and continued walking away. He stopped for a moment, turning again to Iris. "My name is Evled. May I ask what's yours?" "Hm? Oh, it's Iris. You know, like irises, that eye stuff." He smiled. "That's a beautiful name. Thank you again. I hope to meet you again." He walked away again, heading home. ''Well, that was interesting. First time someone actually did something kind for me... I'm used to being insulted most of the time. ''he thought. Meanwhile, as Iris saw him walk away, she thought, ''What a strange mortal. I wonder why I did that? Meh. Whatever the case... I think I'll stay a bit longer... I hope the people at the shop don't get mad at me, ''she chuckled in her mind.

The next few weeks, Iris kept seeing him after school and they continued having interactions. Of course, you may be thinking, ''Wow! A goddess just casually meeting a mortal on a daily basis? Seems pretty strange to me! ''No, no, no, of course not. Well, maybe. But she would teleport back to her shop from time to time and run it, then come back to meet him. After a while, Evled and Iris had an affair and had a child. At this point, Iris knew that she couldn't stay with the family, and perhaps that Evled should know her identity - her true one. "Dear, I... I'm a goddess." At first, when he heard this information, it was quite unbelievable and he thought she was pulling some sick prank. But as she explained the world of mythology and everything that would happen to the baby, he realized she was dead serious. Although, he questioned a lot of her story, it's not like he bought it instantly. She said that it was up to him to believe her or not, and she left the house. At that instant, Evled was devastated... The love of his life just left him, and now he had to raise this child alone. "Cian," he stated plainly. "That is your new name..." his tears dropped on the newborn baby. "I... have to raise you properly. I have to.. raise you so you can take care of yourself... I don't have time..."

While Cian was growing up, he was a happy kid - like most kids are - but he was more than that. Too positive, even. At the age of 6, a classmate used a black marker and drew a mustache on his face, but instead of complaining he said, "Atleast I look a bit more manly now!" He had ADHD like most demigods - he could never sit still and so he usually fiddled around with a pencil - twirling it now and then - or rather, most of the time. At the age of 9, he got a huge gash on his arm to the point there was blood(obviously), and he simply said, "Hey! I have more ketchup now!" However... as he was growing up in general, in all his ages, classmates bullied him for his weirdness and his over optimism and his dad was not really nice - always treating him strict. Although he could deal with all that, his positive act began to be a bit more forced as other adults and kids despised him, and it was hard to keep his confidence and stay positive. As he grew up, his father's strictness and anger only grew aswell. Usually his dad was always drinking alcohol or smoking, and the whole house smelled of it. If he ever asked who his wife was, or rather, Cian's mother was, he got instantly mad and would beat him. He forced Cian to study hard and barely allowed him to play - although that may be a good thing, he didn't give Cian any free time. At all. All the things he did were forced to be essential or of use. Not even playing with a coloring book or anything, just nothing. He was forced to exercise every day, practice arithmetics and be atleast decent in music - knowing the notes and such. He was not 'pro' in every field, he was just taught on how each one works - all for a purpose. At the age of 13, was his first monster attack. He was heading home seeing his Dad outside seemingly waiting for him. He seemed to be breathing hard, or rather, he was having... trouble breathing for some reason. His Dad started with a sentence, "I have to tell you something," in between coughs.

"Get in the car, Cian. Now." He did as his father told him to, and they began to drive. "Where are we going?" Cian asked. "You'll see soon enough. Now, about the thing I needed to tell you... it's a bit," he coughed, "important." His breathing was quite hoarse and so was his voice. As they drove, he began telling Cian everything that Iris told him. It took around an hour or more to complete his story. At this moment, Cian was angered. "You expect me to believe such things?! Such mumbo-jumbo?! It seems like it came straight out of a fantasy book! My mother should still be here!" He clenched his fists. He was expecting his father to retaliate and shout at him, but instead, Evled did not shout at his son - for the first time ever, and instead smiled. "That was my reaction," he coughed once again. "as well. But... it seems her directions led us right to the spot." They stopped before they arrived at Camp-Half Blood. They had to talk. They both got out of the car and began walking. "Apparently, this is where you demigods have oughta' go. To learn how to fend for yourselves and all that." "Why'd you tell me now? Couldn't we just have kept living our normal lives?!" Cian asked. "I'm running out of time, Cian! My lungs are failing from drug and alcohol over dose, and my whole body isn't that physically fit any more!" He cried out. "Please.... j-just go..." "What?! Father why didn't you-" he saw his father's eyes widen. "Cian!" Evled shouted. A hellhound appeared out of nowhere, going to attack Cian as he was the one with the demigod scent. However, Evled took out the same umbrella that was given to him by Iris, blocking the hellhound's path. "Dad! Stop! You don't have to die for me!" As Evled stated earlier, he was not in top shape and was easily tackled down by the monster. With all his remaining strength, he kicked the hound away as far as he can, though he knew it was going to get up soon. Heck, he was weak as fudge. But for his son, he did it anyway, knowing the hound was not going to be stunned forever. "Take this Cian..." he coughed. "I'm sorry for not being kinder to you. I've failed to you as a father. Take it... it's a gift from your mother." "What?! But... are you sure about this?" Cian's hands ready to take the umbrella. Evled just smiled. " Just take it... So the rain won't fall on you anymore." He gave the umbrella to Cian as he got up, seeing the hound approaching fast. "Head to camp! Go now!" Cian's eyes were filled with tears as he took the umbrella and ran off as he knew deep inside his father loved him, and that that was the last time he'd ever see his father again. He has stayed at Camp for a week now.

Weapons: A celestial bronze umbrella forged by his request to a Hephaestus demigod. The umbrella itself was just coloured bronze but the real weapon part about this is just a celestial bronze stick. Although this seems to have no combat use, this can be used to confuse enemies or as a shield. The umbrella whilst folded is actually quite long, not a small umbrella, around sword length, and can beat enemies with it like a baton.
