Appearance:

Personality: Taylor's struggle with people bullying the dyslexic intersex Goth has left the young teenager pretty bitter. Taylor tends to be pretty silent but is a master of body language and is very perceptive. Taylor also enjoys manipulating others and is willing to go to dark places to do the world a greater service.

History: Taylor's father Daniel was a powerful illusionist in New York City with a witty personality. He drew the attention of the goddess Apate who came to him in the guise of an young woman and seduced him, before leaving him for about four months.

During those months Daniel was keeping up his job as an illusionist until one day Apate came back to him in the form of the woman and handed him an intersexed child. Apate warned Daniel not to try to change the child and that when they where no longer safe to go to a certain camp where he would be safe before leaving once more.

The child, whom Daniel named Taylor, was raised as neither male or female but rather androgynously. At school however Taylor would be bullied and picked on by other students both for being androgynous and for being dyslexic. Due to this Daniel spent much of his money to get Taylor an exceptional martial arts instructor, eventually learning Mizongyi (a martial art focused on deception and mobility) from a Sifu. Due to Taylor's natural talent at deception Taylor learned Mizongyi fairly quickly becoming adept in it by the Taylor entered middle school.

In middle school while Taylor knew self defense, there was still a lot of verbal and emotional bullying, partly because puberty accented Taylor's androgynous looks, and partly because Taylor became a Goth

When Taylor was 14 he was spending dome time in the woods when a giant scorpion attacked, knowing that using bare hands would be ineffective Taylor grabbed a sturdy stick and wielded it like a staff to fend it off. Before the scorpion reared over the young demi-god forcing Taylor to try to put the stick between the teen and the monster, causing the scorpion to fall on the stick and impale it's head.

Exhausted and confused Taylor told Daniel about the encounter who revealed to him about his mother and her message, after hearing this Daniel and Taylor decided to try to go to this "camp". On the way they where attacked by a minotaur and even though they managed to kill it by forcing in to take a violent fall, Daniel was mortally wounded and died in Taylor's arms.

From there Taylor continued into the camp where he was claimed by Apate upon entering.
