Claiming:Camp/Tommy Allen

Name: Thomas 'Tommy' Allen

Gender: Male, Age 15

God Parent: Preferance is: 1. Eris 2. Nemesis 3. Ares

Mortal Parent: Jennifer Allen if male god, John Allen if female,

Appearance: Brown hair, bown eyes, tall but slim. Has a roguish charm about him.

Personality: A born thespian, Tommy is charismatic, zany and unpredictable, always looking to do things that are the most exciting or entertaining to him. His mouth is certainly bigger than his brain and is constantly running out jokes, stories, songs and insults as he feels like it. In fact he finds it difficult to stop talking most of the time, and it can land him in trouble as often as it gets him out of it. He prefers to avoid fighting where possible,mainly becuase he finds manipulation and trickery to be much more effective, but enjoys a good scrap as much as the next guy. This is particularly true if he can do it with a good punchline or comedic method of victory.

Tommy is a highly changeable person and acts upon his whim and desires before the greater good. He is generally very upbeat, talkative and friendly and is mischevious even on a good day. Fortunately most of the time his games among to nothing more than embarrasment or a few lost items here and there. However he possesses a very cruel streak, particuarly against his enemies, and is never above lying or cheating to get what he wants.

His values are very dichotomous in nature: he hates arrogant people but is himself self-obessed, he values inteligence and knowledge but prefers being the smartest guy in the room, he loves a selfless hero but is himself a trickster, he loves the spotlight but enjoys hiding information and keeping people guessing and h e hates losing but  often enjoys people outwitting him. He loves the arts, fighting and enjoys playing games of chance and strategy and hates rules, responsibilities and being bored. He practically needs something constantly to occupy his time. But most of all he loves drama and a good story and always wants to make life exciting and fun for himself. It doesn't matter whether he helps or hinders his fellow demigods in order to do that.

Despite all this he has a strong concept of right and wrong and although the exact defintions vary in his head, there's always a line he won't go over. Utimately he's a not a bad guy and certainly is on the good side in the grand scheme of things. He won't always have your back, and even when he does he's usually got something up his sleeves, but when he really wants something he'll fight to the bitter end to make it happen. Cunning and deceitful, yet driven by a desire to make the world better and entertaining, Tommy always has a plan. It might involve you dangling from a pole at 4am in the morning but at least its funny, right?

History: Tommy doesn't know a lot about his god parent. His mortal parent doesn't say too much about them other than 'they were incredible'. Once his parent was a promising actor who met the god as they were hitting a big breakthrough. Just as his parent was about to embark on the biggest tour of their career he arrived with little in the way of explanation, intent or even a name. With no other choice they abandoned their acting career to care for him and instead became a drama teacher. They don't regret their decision but sometimes Tommy isn't entirely convinced that that's true.

Growing up an only child he had a carefree childhood and didn't struggle too much with schoolwork. Despite having diffculty reading he shone in English and Drama classes. Every time he told a story that was alway something different added for effect: an extra blow to the hero's chest, a line said in a different way, a spell reworded to seem scarier than it was. Before long he was reciting whole tales from memory with always something of his own design to keep his audience on edge.

He got into a lot of trouble at school mainly because there would always be a problem surrounding him. He would often steal things from other people, ruin other children's work or generally just prank and hinder other kids. It didn't matter to the teachers that he was going to give the item back, or had photocopied the child's work beforehand so they would have the work intact, or that the pranked kids were bully's who deserved it (sometimes), they told him to stop what he was doing. Nonetheless he continued intermittendly to do it. In fact it go so bad he was forced changed schools, several times. He's lost count how many.

One day he decided to prank a particularly large boy who'd been bullying a lot of the younger students. The kid had a problem with one of his eyes and clearly thought the best way to solve it was to take out his frustration on people younger than him. But his plan: wet floor head first into a locker, didn't work when the kid, who seemed a lot smaller a second ago, grabbed him in one arm and very nearly succeeded in throttling him. Fortunately two other kids who had seen what happened managed to wrench the kid off him. After running out of sight the two kids caught him and told him about the 'cyclops' that had just attacked him and said he was a 'demigod' and that he should come with them. Knowing a pair of liars when he heard one, and the fact that they seemed a bit too arrogant for his liking, he refused. When they tried to stop him leaving, he gave them the slip and sent them hurling into a locker courtesy of a wet floor.

He was called into the Principal's office a week later to meet the bully's parents. When he looked at them he saw the monsters for what they were and made some excuse about needing to go to the bathroom. He quickly found the two kids who'd saved him before and had one question for them: 'not saying I believe you, cause I don't, but uh... you said something about a camp?' After a lot of convincing the three managed to slip out of school and make their way to Camp Half-Blood.

Weapons: He's armed with his trusty sword.
