Claiming:Camp/Balthazar Bane

Name: Balthazar Bane

Gender: Male

God Parent: Hermes, Hades, Thanatos

Mortal Parent: Cassandra Bane

Appearance: Black hair with dark eyes. He always wore the same black hoodie everyday, his final momentum from his late adopted father with a necklace that was given to him by his adopted mother.

Personality: He is cold, at first. Not wanting to trust anyone in fear of betrayal. Always alone because he feels that he doesn't belongs. However, he is kind hearted and always like to prank others when he has the time. He is also a happy-go-lucky kind of guy if you get to know him better. He shows signs of bravery at times when he is needed. He hates Artemis for killing his mom but he doesn't hate her hunters since his mom was a hunter before.

History: Cassandra is a woman from the 5th century. After wrongly accused of being a witch for knowing how to make minor potions, which she learn from her mother who was a daughter of Hecate, she gave up the company of men to join Artemis in the hunt. While she was there, she felt happy and contented. Because of her beauty and skills in making potions, Cassandra attracted Hermes, the god of messengers. Their love bloom and made a child. When Artemis found out about it, she disown Cassandra and tried to hunt her down. However, Hermes took her away and tried to hide her from Artemis' wrath. However, Artemis wasn't dumb. She made a curse on her to make a scent that Artemis and her sacred animals can track her. Although Cassandra is no longer part of the hunt, she was a born hunter and she was a gifted even before she joined. This made a bit harder for Artemis to look with her because of her hiding skills and Hermes' power hiding most of her scent.

After the fourth month of giving birth to her child, Hermes' blessing wear off and soon Artemis tried to hunt her down. She didn't want her child to die in Artemis' hand. So, she went to her old friend, who was a daughter of her lover. She told her everything that happen and ask her friend to protect her child. Wanting a child ever since she was married, her friend gladly agrees to hide her brother from the goddess. Before she left, Cassandra told her that the child's name was Blathazar.

Balthazar, or Bal, had a normal childhood, if you consider making real-life gaming weapons normal. His dad was a fan of Assassin Creed and always had him help make dangerous weapons like the hidden blade and the rope dart. His mom's hobby, on the other hand, was hunting. They will go to the woods and hunt down animals. His mom would always say that he was better with traps than she was, though he wasn't sure how a nine year old could be any good at planting bear traps than a normal adult. Unknown to him, his mom was always bring him to the forest to see if the curse on him wore off. Like his real mother, he also bear the scent of the hunt but only in a minor degree. It wouldn't make the Artemis hunt him down but it can make the goddess' sacred animals irritated and make them attack him.

On his fourteenth birthday, his parents had an afternoon picnic in the backyard. This was also the day his mom will tell him the truth about his existence and about Artemis. She didn't want to tell him, but she knows she has to. She and her husband didn't bring their weapons today since the house is just a few steps away. They start giving their gives. From his dad, he gave him a hooded jacket that modern day assassins would normally wear. His mom made a leather necklace with a bone of a snake as its decore. Before Bal could thank them, a giant bronze ball fell down next to them, almost killing them. Bal screams as he saw three Laistrygonian Giants, ready to kill him. His adopted father, a son of Demeter, summon vines and intangles them with it but he knew that it won't last. He told his family to hide as he tries to kill them. They nod and ran away to the house. His father manage to kill two of them, but the last one was able to throw an another ball at him, killing him instantly.

At the attic, where Bal's dad hid all of the Assassin Creed weapon, he and his mom hid. He notice that all of the weapons that he made with his dad, that were made from cheap metal, were now made of bronze. He fitted two hidden blades on both of his arms as he waited for his mom to finish blocking the door. When she was done, she went near him and hugged him. She pulled away and told her everything that his real mother told her. Once she was done, Bal cried. Before she can comfort him, the door exploded and the last Laistrygonian Giant appeared. His mom ran to kill it but the giant just swatted her aside and she hit a nearby cabinet. Bal screamed his mom, who he just knew was his sister. Without thinking, he charged the monster. The giant punched but dodges it with ease, he knew that it was slow and it was easy to dodge if you are careful. He unsheath the hidden blades and slab it in the gut, killing it. It turned into gold dust and blew away.

When the ambulance came and took his sister away, he said nothing, thinking that was the best option he had so far. At the hospital, the doctor said that his dad, or brother-in-law, is dead and his sister is in a coma because of the blow in her back. He went to his sister's ward and looked at her. She was his sister and he couldn't believe it. He wanted it to be a dream, but he knew it is real. He had to go somewhere. From what he heard from his sister, they all have a strong scent to monsters and he has the strongest scent among the family. He knew it will be dangerous if they stay together, with her in a coma. She already gave an address to where it is safe for him. He has to go there. He kissed her in the cheek and said his goodbye then walked away from the hospital with his packback on.

He traveled to Long Island on foot. On his journey, he met some people and they told him to stay but he said no. It will be too dangerous for them. He also met a few monsters. Some he killed, other he hid. He was good in knowing if he is good enough to kill a monster or not and will hide if he isn't. He arrives at Camp Half Blood after he was almost killed by the werewolves. When he got there, he had only one word on his mind: Safe.

Weapons: The family's dual hidden blades(celestial bronze blades), all kinds of bombs(mostly for pranking), throwing knivies, a normal celestial bronze sword.

Comments
Can I ask you to sign your claim with four ~'s?

1. It's highly unlikely that Artemis would take a kind of passion for anything after a huntress had gone behind her oath and had a child. She would most likely kill the baby and the girl. Or possibly curse the child.

2. Also I don't deem that Artemis would spend months finding "suitable" parents. She would more than likely drop the child into anyone's arms.

3. By the age of fourteen, it's more than likely he had a few encounters with monsters.

4. Most people have complications just before they get to camp. ex: a monster attack.

Are you still going to work on this?

Hey.. Sorry if I haven't edited it yet.. My grandmother was in the hospital and I have to watch over her.. Yeah.. I am still going to work on this.. and I already did.. I am sorry again for the delay..

If you like we could put this on hold.  Have you ever danced with      the devil in the pale moonlight?      -Float        14:29, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

I think I can manage.. But expect that I can't edit it as soon as possible if there is something wrong with it.. (btw.. how on earth are you guys make your signatures look like that?)

How did his mother have the ability to make potions? Was she a daughter of Hecate or Circe? Just confirming, the girl she went to was a daughter of Hermes (her lover)? How long was she in the Hunt? You didn't specify on when she was kicked out. If Artemis cursed his mother, why did the curse get passed down to him? If his father was a son of Demeter and his mom was a daughter of Hermes, like I'm presuming, then monsters would've sniffed them out a long time ago. About the signatures, it's more complex coding and a picture.

Yeah.. I am going to edit the first and second question if I can borrow the computer.. Yeah, she is a child of Hermes.. I did mention that she was in a girl from the 5th century, so you can assume that she joined at that time.. I also mention when she was kicked out, and that was when Artemis found out and disown her.. The curse is kinda like a fail-safe way for Artemis in case if she would be able to kill the hunter but not the child. That way, her sacred animals can finish the job for her if the hunter will leave the baby in the forest.. And, I already said that they have left their weapons. So, you can assume that they have already been fighting monsters even before Bal came into their lives.

Okay a few things wrong with the very first paragraph. Artemis wouldn't be mad she broke the oath, plenty of Huntress' go back their cabins and quit the hunt, and two, Hermes would not take Cassandra away to save her from Artemis.

Kindly remember to address the previous comments made.

To Brocky292:

Let's just say that his mother became pregnant to him at the time where Artemis strongly disapproves about breaking oaths.. Also, according to "TheOrbitingStars", "It's highly unlikely that Artemis would take a kind of passion for anything after a huntress had gone behind her oath and had a child. She would most likely kill the baby and the girl. Or possibly curse the child." So, I am just following the first comments about my character's bio.

Is there anything else to edit?

So at what time period did she stop being a huntress and therefore lose her immortality?

By the time she became pregnant.. So, that will be around this time period..

Why would Artemis and the huntresses be so upset with her specifically leaving the hunt? Lots leave the hunt, they arent cursed for it. And why go after the son, as he wasnt the one that left the hunt.

As I said before, I am just following what "TheOrbitingStars" told me, which was that "It's highly unlikely that Artemis would take a kind of passion for anything after a huntress had gone behind her oath and had a child. She would most likely kill the baby and the girl. Or possibly curse the child."

I just adjusted my story to his comment. And, it made sense that Artemis would kill her and her son.

Why would Artemis go out of her way just to kill the child? It sounds completely wrong that Artemis would do that.

Well, if you read it all down, it only mention that Bal is affected with Artemis' curse, which he got from his mom. It didn't say that Artemis tried to kill him after his mom left him. It only say that her sacred animals has the urge to kill him, without the Moon Goddess knowing herself.

I think you need to add something that Balthazar's mother does to really piss off Artemis that causes her to lay this curse. Simply failing to maintain celibacy isn't enough at all.
