Name: Oscar Blunt

Gender: Man

God Parent: 1. Hephaestus, 2. Aristaeus,  3 . Hermes

Mortal Parent: Alice Blunt

Appearance: Oscar is quite short for his age and is kind off skinny with slim wrists and long thin legs. He has thick brown hair and brown eyes. He is usually dressed in jeans, tennis shoes, a t-shirt and some kind of hoodie. During the summer he also gets freckles on his cheeks and nose.

Personality: Oscar is not a fighter, he will defend himself if someone is being mean or trying to pick on him but he will usually leave the fighting to Astro. He is a kind-hearted fellow quick at helping others without thinking about getting anything in reward. Although if he is not thanked or not treated nice when helping he does the work sloppy and with a bad mood and will if it doesn’t change get extremely irritated at whoever his helping. But if the person apologizes or starts being nice again he usually forgets it unless it’s something really mean that happened. He doesn’t look to make enemies and if you make a good first impression with him you will often earned a friend for life.

History: Before birth Alice blunt lived in a small village in long island and worked in a semi active forge although mostly it was showing the few tourists who came to her village how the forge worked in the old days. At one of her tours there was a very handsome man who followed her entire tour and then later asked her for a dinner. She gladly said yes as she had never had a romance before (there was not many good looking guys in the village) and this man could, if she did a good impression be her ticket out of the small village. They had a lovely night and he took her to bed later that evening. In the morning Alice woke up and made breakfast for them both but the man came out of the bedroom fully dressed and ready to leave. Before he left he explained that she would carry his son who would be a demigod. Alice was very confused and asked the man who he really was as he had only named himself as Heph the night before. For a brief moment he allowed her to see thru the mist and showed her who he really was and told her that when her baby boy came of age she could send him to camp-half-blood where he could be with other kids like him. He also told her about the monster that most likely would come after him and Alice asked for some way to help protect her boy from them. So Hephaestus gave her an Automaton that he had made in the Titan war but had never serviced as the war had ended before he could be used. He promised that the Automaton would protect the kid when the time came and then he left.



Oscar was born and lived a pretty normal life for a child. He was always that happy kid in school who agreed with everyone and didn’t have any own opinions. This would wear of a bit from when he turned 10. He enjoyed tinkering machines and tools and especially with the old machine that his mom had in the basement (Astro.) He was not tall or strong or ever that much clever then any other kid but his happiness and his lack of opinion made him a bully target for the older kids although he tried to stay positive it became more and more difficult the older he got. He became shyer and started to stay home more and more tinkering with the old machine that looked like some kind of robot trying to figure out how it worked, as he couldn’t find any way to open it or what the purpose of it was. When he turned 10 his mom decided that it was time to tell him he was demi-god and so she did. At first it was quite a chock but Oscar hade noticed that he weren’t like the other kids and had “accidently” used his powers to randomly catch things on fire when he became mad and things like that. His mom told also told him about the camp Heph had talked about and Oscar became very eager to get there as he figured he would enjoy it much more there with people just like him. But Alice told him he had to finish school first. He became much more happy now knowing something was going to change in a couple of years and he started to enjoy life again and be out socialising with friends.



12 years old: first monster attack.

Oscar was out in the back yard playing around with his new powers who where starting to show themselves more and more when he heard a scream coming from the sky. He looked up confused, as he had never seen any birds with that sound before in the village. But it was not a bird it was an harpy. Oscar screamed and tried to protect himself by covering his head with his arms. This did not help at all and the harpy cut three big cuts in his arm and threw him over towards the house. He called for his mom but she was away so Oscar ran into the house trying to lock the harpy out but it just crashed thru a window and followed him down the stairs to the basement where Oscar barely managed to close the door behind him before the harpy came rushing down. It started to tear the door down. Oscar climbed into the corner and held an old lamppost as a primitive weapon saying to himself that he would fight to the end. The harpy crawled in and bashed towards him. But when it came in the old machine busted up and rushed at the harpy smashing it into to the old concrete wall. It rapidity slammed the harpy over and over again in the wall until it died. Oscar being even more scared now but when the harpy was alive started crying thinking the machine would kill him to, but it just walked over to Oscar and sat down next to him. Oscar waited there for about 2 hours before he heard his mom coming home. He made a break for it and ran out the basement and up the stairs just as Alice came into the living room. But the robot had not followed him. After a couple of minutes of explaining about the harpy and him fleeing into the basement he got to the robot part and Alice now understood what the machine was meant for and she explained that it had been given to them to help protect Oscar from the monsters that they now knew existed. They went down in the basement together where the robot was waiting. It didn’t talk and just made bleeping noises in rapid order when it saw them. After some thinking and trying to communicate with it they understood it was talking Morse code to them and they could finally communicate with it. They learned it was placed here to help protect Oscar from monster and other lethal things that might happen to him. They kept him in the basement for a couple of weeks where Oscar tried learning it to talk normally like humans as it had told him he had recording machinery in himself, Oscar also started calling the machine Astro as it made a sound that sounded like Astro when it tried to pronounce some English words and Astro found that he liked the name Oscar had given him. They grew very tight during the weeks Astro was in the basement and they always had fun when Oscar thought him new things about the world, as Astro did not know anything except basic things that Heph had programmed into his circuits. But outside of the basement Alice was getting really worried about the fact that if one monster where to find Oscar surely more would and so she one night told Oscar that maybe it was time to move to camp-half-blood where he would be more safe and have friends like him. Oscar got overwhelmed and gladly said yes packing his things and after receiving the location of the camp he left his home with Astro by his side. Since Astro did not fit in with normal people they had to stay of road and Oscar had to go into small towns along the way to get supplies but he still kept in contact with his mother who helped him if something went wrong or if he just missed her. But after several weeks of hiking they now finally reached camp-half-blood.
