Name: Clark Martin

Gender: Male

God Parent: Athena

Mortal Parent: Travis Martin

Clark M.

Personality: Clark doesn't like to relax and do nothing, he enjoys being active, studying, and building. He is very quiet yet not shy. He is an open person but still not very outgoing. 

History: Travis was ready to quit. After the portable toaster, car with tank wheels, and nightvision sunglasses didn't work, he was having a very hard time trying not to give up. Yet there he was, sitting in his small office space, trying to think up something. That same miserable day, was the day his life changed forever. While he struggled to stay awake with coffee, a blinding light burst to life behind him, as if the sun had come in to say hello. When Travis recovered, he found a woman, standing where the light used to be. The grey eyed mistress revealed herself to be Athena, goddess of wisdom. As gods always do, she explained who she was, and that she admired Travis' work. She thought his inventions were... unique. After that, Athena and Travis worked together for a while and made the best inventions in the company. And through the power of knowledge, however the heck it happens, Clark was born, and Travis took care of him like he was his top invention.

Clark was forced growing up an only child in a private school. That left him with nothing to do but work with his dad on projects, or eat and sleep. (Clark prefered the first option) Often times if he wasn't working on a project of some kind he would be reading about death or building materials. For whatever reason, Clark found an interest in death. Not that he liked killing or suicide, he enjoyed studying life after death and such. At 13 years old, Clark had the craziest expeierence of his life. Walking home from school, feeling lonely as ever, he spotted something unusual coming- flying his way. They looked like dark purple crows, but mettalic. Something that Clark might want to study, if they wern't trying to kill him. They started pecking at him from all sides, and clawing at his clothing. Clark used his quick thinking to pull out his calculator from his backpack, a invention made by Clark if he ever needed to protect himself, and hit divide by 0 throwing it at the birds. He was hoping that it would explode because dividing by 0 wouldn't be possible, but instead a crow did it for him. The beak went straight through the calculator, causing a miniature explosion, stunning the birds. Quicly using stickes and grass, he put together a bird cage, big enough to fit the birds. He then baited the birds in, by standing in front of it. The birds dove towards Clark, and last minute, he managed to dodge them, as they barreled into the cage. After getting all of the devilish birds into the cage, he threw it down the street. He knew that wouldn't stop them, however it still gave him time to retreat home.  The attacks kept getting repeated, occuring to almost once every 3 or so months. Clark had asked his father if there was something wrong with him, and his father, of course, denied it. Though after bieng preasured`into a tight spot, Travis finally confessed that Clark indeed was special. He explained slowly that he was a son of Athena. He had thought that Clark would freak out, or run away, or work on an invention, but none of those happened. Clark just sighed, walked into his room, and started to put clothles into his backpack. HIs dad asked what he was doing, even though it was quite there. Clark said goodbye to his father, and before Travis could react, Clark was out the door, hoping to find camp. 

Clark had heard the stories, but he never had though they were true. Now all he could do was hope they were, and be able to get there in one piece. Along the way, Clark had to fight off lot's of monsters. Some big, some small, all deadly and hungry. As Clark made his way through, around, and yes, even under. Most of the time, Clark retreated, kept the monsters caged or distracted long enough for him to get away. One bieng a Giant Scorpion, and another bieng a Myrmeke. He handled them ok, trapping them bieng his only option. Clark wasn't a fool. He knew that only celestial bronze could kill a monster. The myrmeke was hard, he had to cage it with rocks, and even then, the creepy crawler melted through. Clark was able to escape, right after getting his left shoe disintigrated off. Then it happened. He reached camp. Clark couldn't believe it. He did all the reaserch and proved that it wasn't possible yet there he was. Standing right behind the force field protecting the safe haven. It took him 3 years, but he'd made it. Finally shaking of the astonishment, Clark rushed in, only to accidently ram into 3 campers. As of now, Clark has been in camp for only 3 days.

I did nothing just placed it at the proper place also take note you have 7 days from the date you edited (you can extend this by editing this page again ok?)

Ok thank you :)

Behind those cold hard computer screens.....There’s a human heart beating away its emotions…

• This is the first time, I believe, I've seen a first monster attack be so entertainingly weird. Can you confirm that the calculator is not a normal calculator and is possibly small defensive invention Clark built to be safe on the streets? I think I get the math joke and I really like how it was triggered by dividing by zero.

XD thanks, but sure I'll do that

• Him scooping up the birds into a cage is a bit iffy and comes off slightly OP (that is one badass calculator you have no much how I appreciate the calculator), buuut I guess if he was fast enough it would be easy to lock them up and make a run for it. The birds would make quick work of that improvised cage though.

Yea, he knew that, which is why he ran. Though I'll be sure to clarify

• Once a month is a bit too much for a non-Big Three child who isn't aware of his demigod status. Could you shorten it to around one attack after every three or four months?

really? I mean, Clark is happy about that but I didn't know it wasn't that frequent

• Was Travis the one to tell him about Camp Half-blood? It's implied that Clark has done research on Greek mythology but that doesn't equate to narrowing down Camp's location.

He knew the general location, however he was basically taking a shot in the dark

• How long has he been at camp? Please remember the two weeks rule.

3 days

⌜ Look at your heart, and not at what the world wants. ⌟

Oh.My.Gods.Yukine-kun. I'm in love. <3 *fangirling*

• Hi, Leo! It's me, another claim checker! xD I just kind of burst when I saw your face claim and omg. I'm an obsessed fan of Noragami <3.
• Now, for the claim. So, the first attack. Did he make the cage with his own wits or with help of his abilities? Plus, shouldn't he be so fast to create a cage for Stymphalian birds, when the birds themselves are so fast, too? And in what way did he "scoop" the birds in?

Well, I was thinking his abilities would cover that, and for the birds, I fixed  C:

• How did Clark know the general location of Camp? Did he know about its cover name? Researching alone can blow up the Camp's covers.

His father told him stories about camp that he learned from Athena, and Clark used these to hopefully find Camp, though as I said, he was taking a shot in the dark

• Where did he get his CB axe?

Oh he just got that in camp, he never had it during hos history

• How long has he been at Camp since arrival? Please state it in your claim.

Done :^] So, yeah, that's all. See ya!

Tsum, tsum, tsum, tsum . . .

Heyo its another claim checker here ! And I have to say your claim is close to being done just need to fix a few more issues (I promise)

• "Travis was able to escape, right after getting his left shoe disintigrated off" I found this on the last paragraph. So i'm wondering does this mean the dad followed him?

Omg XD I must have put Travis by accident XD

• Mentioning the dad I'm gonna assume he's 14 when he "ran away" from home. So I'm just gonna put this out there..He's a kid alone in the streets. I think social services would find him and put him in a home or contact his dad. Cause I think leaving a kid alone would be in breach of a law...

He lived in the woods most the adventure, not the streets, and even if they did find him, he would find a way to escape

• A stray demigod alone in the streets would attract way more monsters. Some would even be stronger. So please be aware of that

.3. the people up there ^ told me I had to many monster attacks, do we have a mix up?

well thats all the problem I have here good luck :)

Behind those cold hard computer screens.....There’s a human heart beating away its emotions…

Yes some would even be stronger monsters than the weak ones you've listed.. thus why I raised the question >.< still even in the woods it would be bad cause he's out in the open where monsters can smell him (especially with no shower *badum tsss*) Hope you can fix it

Sure sure no problem, just got mixzed up... Ok should be good to go, though theres a bit of a wierd transition where I added the edits.

I'm really, really sorry for not being able to check your claim in a long while. Anyway, the last thing I want to know (to make sure), forgive me if I missed it, but how old was he when he arrived at Camp? The history seems to say he was 13, but, just making sure.

"It took him 3 years, but he'd made it." 16 years old  :)

Tsum, tsum, tsum, tsum . . .
