History:
Cains mother Elaine owned a computer repair shop in Toronto, Canada. One day a man walked in and asked for advice on his computer. She helped the man to the best of her ability, which was quite substantial. The man left that day only to come back a week later and ask a different question. these visits became more frequent, until the man would visit daily. The two found they were falling in love, and confessed a few weeks later. Little did Elaine know, the man she fell in love with was none other than the god Hephaestus. he left that very night leaving her heartbroken, but not before giving her the phone number of a satyr who lived near by, and instructions that the child must go to a special camp when he turns 13.
Cain was a remarkable child, and that was apparent from a young age. By two, he could already talk, and he was very intelligent, able to sovle puzzels very quickly for his age. by 10 he was best in his class at woodwork and metal shop, but found it hard to concenttrate in class. He had very few friends and was shunned because of his intelligence. Although his powers did not manifest until the age of 11, his mother feared a time when his powers would manifest, as foretold by a clockwork bird sent by Hephaestus with a complete explenation, advice, and an apology. She put him into karate at the age of four to teach him focus and discipline, two traits he would need to control fire without losing control. Cain was a quick learner, and became best in his class, and by the age of 12, best in his school where he trained. And it paid off because the first time his powers manifested as a ball of fire in his hand, he was able to put it out before he lost control. However, his mother was plagued by insane episodes of short term madness, charicterised by immense rage, dementia, and thoughts of harming others as well as herself, and they were only getting worse. This disease ran in the family lineage, and Cain was lucky to escape it. She called the number of the satyr that was given to her by Hephaestus, and informed him of her inability to care for Cain. The satyr, whos name was Michael, agreed to bring Cain to camp half blood taht very night. As Elaine's last sane acts, she gave Cain one last goodbye before he set off with Michael. Cain and Michael went on a plane that very night and arrived in New York that morning. Before they set off, Michael gave Cain a pair of celestial bronze axes to defend himself with if anything went wrong. Around halfway to camp, Cain engaged his first monsters, a small flock of harpies, only 4. Cain and Michael saw this as the perfect oppourtunity for Cain to test his fire power. Although he was untrained and missed most of the harpies, they found he had a surprising amout of promise and they trained every night in axe techinque and a bit of fire development.
A couple of weeks and a couple of fights later,the pair arrived at their destination. Cain had become more experienced and was a capable warrior with his dagger and with his fire. His arrival went mostly unnoticed, and that night he was claimed by Hephaestus. He has only been at camp for three days, and that is where his story leaves off.
Weapons: Hephaestus fire powers, celestial bronze twin axes given to him by Michael.

Hello there! I'll be your claim checker for today! :)
- A claim here consists in 3-4 good sized paragraphs of
- Parents Meeting
- Early Childhood
- First Monster Attack
- Arrival at Camp
- I'm not sure a child at the age of 11 can become best in Karate in Canada. Also, a demigod doesn't become aware of their powers until around ages 9-13 depending on godparent, since the child is still growing, so I don't think he can control fire at the age of 4.
- Can you explain these insane episodes and short term madness since there are very many and very different symptoms.
- Was the satyr aware she was the mother of a demigod? Otherwise, she can't just have all this information about camp just spewn about if she's a mortal.
- I don't think it's a great idea for Cain to be wandering around New York by himself, even if he did have a weapon, since he is very open for monster attacks and being ambusshed or kidnapped.
That's all I can see for now! :)

Hello, it's me again. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you didn't know this, but please do not delete comments next time. You can end up in serious trouble.
- Seeing as how he was very aware of his powers, monsters should be able to sniff him out easier. Also, even though he did take karate, I don't think that'll teach him to use his fire powers since fire is very spontatneous, unpredicable and reckless, even for a child of Hephaestus.
- How did Cain's mother know about Cain's demigods powers?
- Quick learning and being a straight A student isn't exactly a trait of a child of Hephaestus, but they are excellent forgers and crafters. Plus, it'll be rather hard for most demigods to be a "perfect student" as they are known to have ADHD and dyslexia.
- Please sign your claim with the 4 tidles (~) so we know who's claim this is.
That's all I can see for now.

- what age did he reach camp (please put at the top or bottom)
- being able to control powers easily while being untrained is borderline op (just saying)
- I highly suggest you change the dagger to a sword or crossbow, or just a sword or crossbow as a weapon. this is somewhat nitpicky, but, daggers are considered in this camp inefficient as main weapons
thats all i see at the moment
is coming back for you~ 15:54, February 7, 2016 (UTC)
Hey there I'm your claim checker today and let me just say you have a nice claim but before its ready to be claim you need to fix a few things (not much just a few dont worry your almost there ok :))
- Marriage is a big no cause gods dont get married to mortals (as technically their already married to their spouse... and plus their gods so they dont need it (hard to explain actually >.< sorry if I'm bad at this)
- "episode of madness, immerse rage dementia and thoughts of self harming.." I'm gonna assume this is all heredity disease and that Cain escape it (you dont have to change I'm just asking >.<)
- How long was he at camp? cause we have a 2 weeks rule (i'm sorry for being so uptight >.<)
either way thats all the problem I see other than that I can almost claim you :)
Behind those cold hard computer screens.....
There’s a human heart beating away its emotions…
sure
