Anika Irving (Mika)
Name:

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Personality:

Appearance:



History: Stefani Irving, a divorced mother with two sons, worked in a nursery school and a small drive-in diner in a small town where she barely could keep a house over their head to keep up with all the debt her ex-husband placed on them. One day, her children were playing soccer outside while she was at the restaurant when their soccer ball rolled into the street and they were stopped by when they heard a car approaching. It came closer and the driver of the sports car stepped out with a smile, handed them their ball, and started kicking it around with them. He left a couple minutes before Stefani arrived home and she was told about the friendly mystery man when she got home. She tiredly ignored them and just told them not to talk to strangers but for a week, they enjoyed his company until Stefani's curiosity and worry overtook her and she decided that she had to meet this man. She told her boss that her youngest son, Nicholas, was sick with a fever and she was forced to stay home with him. Strangely, he didn't arrive that day but the next day, soon enough, his sports car drove up and he stepped out. For Stefani, it was like one of those slow motion scenes in romantic movies; she immediately fell in love with his sporty looks and easygoing smile. Although she was in love with him, she did a pretty good job on acting to be angry with him until he asked her out for a date to make it up to her. They soon fell in love and after a month, they slept together and she became pregnant with a child. A couple months, she gave birth to Anika Janelle Irving and the father suddenly disappeared, only leaving a envelope that contained a letter and a silver ring that Stefani never found.

It wasn't long after Anika was born when Stefani's ex-husband suddenly appeared on her front steps, saying that he went through rehab and promised to be a better father and husband. After being constantly annoyed, she caved in and let him back into her life; worst choice other then getting married to him. He wasn't too happy to find that she had another child so while she was at work, he drove Anika to a orphanage and, once Stefani got home, said that she had been kidnapped. While he went out to go clubbing with his friends, her sons told her what really happened and she immediately drove to the orphanage to retrieve Anika. When he came back, he was extremely drunk and started beating them, even killing Nicholas. Stefani tried to chase him out but he punched her in the face and walked over to Anika, picking her up and throwing her on the floor. The police finally came and arrested him but left Anika with the trauma. Anika was a odd child; unlike the normal hyper, bubbly, playful personalities, she was extremely quiet, reserved, and rarely played with anyone. Most children ignored her and she was satisfied with her treatment until Anika reached third grade. Suddenly, it seemed like that they turned against her and started teasing her for her refusal to talk, occasional flashbacks, ADHD, and dyslexia. She sometimes ran home, crying about how people called her stupid, idiot, or loser and forced her to transform into a insecure person that trusted no one. It wasn't soon after when the second person she talked to, her brother, Levi, left her life. He turned to approximate age to join the army and soon after he was allowed into the battle, he was killed by a bomb. For weeks, Anika locked herself in her rooms, crying her heart out and refusing to let her mother come close to her but she soon remembered that she still had her life and swore to live her life to fullest to make up the time her brother didn't have. She started walking in her brother's footsteps, starting to play sports, opening up more to people around her, and allowing herself to chase her dreams. Anika's classmates soon realized her change and respecting her natural talent in sports and her beautiful personality, they also dropped their bullying act and started respecting, even liking, her. Her change influence other outsiders to believe in themselves and also influenced the ones that once mocked her to treat everyone equally. In some ways, her brother's death changed her world forever.

Name: Astre Lindon

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Family: Stephanie Lindon (Father), Astraeus (Father)

Personality: She is a soft-spoken young woman who always tends to keep her secrets bottled up inside of her instead of telling them to anyone. Ever since her mother's death, she has had occasional bouts of minor depression. Also, she has hidden her passion for astrology from caring and kindhearted person.

History:  Stephanie Lindon was born to a rich and successful banker and a lawyer in New York City. Ever since she was born, her parents had wanted her to follow in her dad's steps and become a banker. However, this was not the case and secretly, she aspired and dreamed of becoming an astronaut. She did not tell her parents this until one day when she was 7, after school, her father caught her drawing planets. When he asked her, curious, why she was drawing, she told them of her passion for astrology.

That night, she was given an enormous lecture by both her parents in the kitchen and her dad beat her until she was knocked unconscious. For 6 years, she worked hard in school, pretending to please her dad, but really actually working towards her dream of becoming an astrologist or an astronaut. She eventually graduated from high school with high marks in every subject and then confronted her parents about her dreams and ambitions. This time her parents, hearing reason, let her attend MIT. She then afterwards went on to work for NASA with a master's degree, as an astronaut.

After several years, when she was 32, she met another astronaut named Ricardo who also had a deep passion for astrology and they soon became friends. However, even that didn't last long and they soon fell in love. After a year of dating, they'd made love and had child, Astre. Her lover, Ricardo, then revealed that he was actually Astraeus and that Greek Mythology existed. He then left her, with only a star charm.

As Astre grew up, Stephanie quit her job at NASA and went to live in Bloomfield, New Jersey. She got a job as a professor in mathematics and bought a house. Since she did not live too far from the school, she frequently picked up Astre from school and Astre lived the life of any other average American kid. As she grew up, her mother nurtured and encouraged her love of the stars and eventually she fell deeply in love with astrology.

When she was seven, her mother, Stephanie, remarried and she met her step-dad for the first time. Initially he was sweet, charming and funny but then he only reserved that personality for Astre's mother. When Stephanie was not around, he'd unleash his true personality and often beat Astre calling her dirty names and refusing to let her go out with her friends. Also, whenever she got a bad mark, needed help with something, or wanted to go somewhere, he'd whip her with whatever was at hand.

This abuse continued until she was 15. One day, when she came home, he was standing at the door waiting there. Before she could react, he hit her with a wooden plank. Having signs of satyriasis (the genderal opposite of a nympho), he raped her. When Astre tried to tell her mother, behind Stephanie, her stepfather, John, made a sign signifying the slitting of a throat. Under threat of death, Astre hid and buried her memories deep under until one day, it eventually slipped out of her, when she told her friends. Her friends, horrified, convinced her that this was extremely serious and that she should take this matter to the police.

So the next day, she contacted the police but when they got to her house, there was no trace of John, he'd seemingly vanished. Stephanie, learning of the abuse Astre had to go through was shocked and crying, she promised to be a better mother. With John out of the house, all seemed well until a month later. Astre had gone out with a few friends to a party at a friend's house and when she returned home, she found her house in flames. Fearing for her mother's safety, she ran into the house and found her mother dead, trapped beneath a pillar. On the wall beside her body, there was a note scrawled in blood, her mother's. It said: "You should not have told"

Knowing that to be John's work, she was about to leave the burning building when she noticed something in her mother's hand, it was a note and a star charm. Taking both of these items, she ran out of the house. When she got outside and had called the 911, she read the note. It said:

"Dear Astre,

''I cannot tell you how much I love you in just this letter as this might be the last thing I do. John is out to get us, he is hunting us and though he's on the run, neither of us are safe. He is coming to kill you my dear beloved and you must run. Don't stay around to be adopted by someone else or he'll kill them too. This might sound crazy but you HAVE to believe me. Ok, honey, John is a Laistrygonian giant, cannibal giants from Greek mythology. The 12 Olympian gods, and the Greek monsters from the myths, they're real. John is actually a cannibal giant, which would explain why when you were younger you always said that he had 'one eye'. He didn't immediately kill you because unlike other Laistrygonians, he was overconfident, sure he could kill and eat you at anytime and his lust for women overcame his hunger. ''

''If you are reading this, I am probably dead, but I won't leave you for dead. Your father, Astraeus, if you remember him from the Greek myths I told you, told me that there was a special place for kids of the gods like you. It's called Camp Half Blood and it's located on Long Island Sound, which is not too too far but still some way to go. I've already arranged for a satyr to meet you. He's at your local high school. Now hurry, go before Child Protection Services or John finds you! Oh and your star charm, it's a gift from your father. It morphs into a sword.''

All my love to you, 

Mom"

Stuffing her note into her pocket and holding the charm in her hand, she ran as fast as she could to her high school. Sure enough, there was a satyr there waiting for her. It turned out to be one of her friends, Drake. They got into Drake's car and they headed to Long Island Sound. All was fine until they were on the road to the town nearby Camp Half Blood. They were driving down the road when suddenly, a massive boulder slammed into the car from the right side. It flipped the car over and off the road. The two of them were alive and they got out of the car but Drake had broken his right foot when the car had flipped.

Seeing that he was slowing down Astre too, he told her to go, sacrificing himself to John, as she ran. She continued running down the road as John was distracted by eating Drake. She'd reached the base of Half Blood hill when something grabbed her from behind. It was John. As he lifted her closer to his mouth, she activated her star charm and a sword appeared in her hand. Despite having no training, she slashed his arm, making him bellow in pain. He dropped her and she ran up the hill, with John in hot pursuit. She finally reached the entrance when several demigods rushed out from the camp and went to fight the Laistrygonian. They killed him and Astre made it to camp, safe.

Weapons/Armour: She has standard Camp armour and she wields her Celestial Bronze star charm-sword, along with a Celestial Bronze rapier.

Ob - Seren Annwyl


Name: Seren Annwyl

Personality: He has a calm demeanor, but is prone to fits of anger if one so brings him to that point. He is very resourceful, able to adapt to many situations quickly. Though he isn't exactly "smart" academically, this doesn't mean he's stupid. Rather, he has his own unique volume of knowledge. He's also a man of action. He cannot, and often refuses, to sit around and twidle his thumbs while important events happen around him. He wishes to take an active part in everything that happens to him. Prideful and stubborn, he is very hard to convince of something he does not believe in.

History: Seren was born to a poor family in Wales. His mother, Anna, was a single parent, who was working at a low-paying job as a worker on the beach. One night, while she was on her break, she went to one of her favorite places on the beach to look at the stars. A man introduced himself as Seren and watched the stars with her, talking about all the different constellations. Liking him, the two started seeing each other more. Soon; they became friends, lovers, and eventually husband and wife.

After a few months, Anna was pregnant with Seren. Then her husband had to break the sad news to her. He was really the god Astraeus. She wasn't totally surprised, as her mother had been a demigod and had told her about the gods. But never did she think that a god would fall in love with her. In any case, a few weeks after Seren was born Astraeus had to leave Anna. But before he did, he promised her he would find someway to make sure she and Seren were taken care of.

The few years after he left, Seren's mother tried to give Seren a good life. Though she wasn't able to send him to school due to money issues, she tried to teach him the best she could when she wasn't at work. When she was, a neighborhood friend made sure he wouldn't get into trouble. However; he still wondered the streets, learning how to stay out of trouble by himself.

Then one day, a tekhine attacked Seren while he was walking about his town. He wouldve have died if a nearby key smith, a son of Hephaestus named Ben, hadn't saved him. Taking him under his wing, to the gratitude of Seren's mother, he taught Seren how to protect himself from monsters and control his powers. He even gave Seren his Bo Staff and Knuckles on his birthday.

Eventually, Ben and Anna fell in love with each other. Soon, they got married to the delight of both the couple and Seren. Ben, being rather wealthy, was able to send Seren to school. Two years later, Seren's younger brother Tynged was born after it was thought he would die due to complications. In order to celebrate, Ben and Anna took the family on a cruise that sailed near the coast of Venezuela.

However; on the cruise disaster struck. A great storm suddenly appeared, hammering the ship with powerful waves. Then, a powerful lightning bolt struck through the funnel of the ship into the generator. Causing a huge explosion, almost everyone on the ship was either killed or seriously injured. Miraculously; Seren survived, though he was trapped floating in the ocean by a piece of metal.

After floating for a few hours in the ocean almost unconscious, a crew on a fishing boat found him extremely far away from the site of the cruise explosion, almost on the opposite side of the coast. Helping him up, they eventually found that he had lost his memory. The only one he managed to keep was of his name. WIP

Equipment: He wields a set of Aetherian Stone knuckles and a Bo staff made out of the same material.
