Personality: Excalibur doesn't talk much, really likes reading and watching movies alone. He loves to express his feelings in gardening, photography and acting. Likes to roleplay as characters that he sees in comics, enjoys making people smiling when they're down in the dumps.
History: Dwayne Rose was a farmer, who worked from dawn to midnight. He took care of cattle, horses, pigs and chickens. He was an animal lover, but he loved gardening because of his late wife, Charlene. She died, along with their soon to be child. One day when Dwayne was gardening, a woman stopped by with the name of "Delilah." She said she was an athletic gardener, but she enjoyed gardening more than being sporty. The two hung out a lot, she would buy plants and fruits he grew, and even sometimes helped around the farm.
"Delilah" and Dwayne began dating and "Delilah" got pregnant. He knew that she was pregnant, but went missing right before the childbirth. Everyone thought that 'Delilah" died during childbirth, but Dwayne knew what actually happened by the note she left. It was written in beautiful cursive handwriting and was written of flowery paper. The note had been left on a picnic basket where the baby sat in with a blue blanket. The note read:
"Dear Dwayne, I am not as who you expected, and my name is not Delilah. I am (___), the Greek goddess of (___). I wanted to tell you sooner, but after the baby was born, I had to leave, all Gods and Goddesses do the same. I wish I could've met the baby, but I know I will someday. His name is Excalibur Luke Rose. Don't you love it! I'm sorry I can't talk for so long, but I love you as well as lil' Excalibur, tell him Mommy said hello. Love, (___)"
Excalibur grew up in the nicer parts of the town. His childhood was smooth, besides the problems with ADHD, Dyslexia and moving schools every three months. Excalibur never really understood a lot of the things that was going on throughout his life, but he followed his Father's orders. The Rose family was kind of looked up upon in the city. Excalibur did have trouble in school though. He wasn't the brightest kid in the grade, nor the most athletic. He loved reading and writing alone, so he never had much friends growing up. Once he got into the third grade, he made some friends, but they weren't much of real friends, they became his friend because he was getting smarter. In the fourth grade, he was a complete loner, no friends, no anything. He even thought he was the dumbest kid in the grade. Once fifth grade came, things took a turn for the worst.
Excalibur was very young when his first monster attack happened, he was around the age of eleven. A few days after his birthday, Excalibur began wearing a golden necklace that was given to him on his eleventh birthday, which was given to his father by his mother. One day when they were playing catch outside, a screech of what sounded like a bird filled the air and it zoomed down to the yard.
A Harpy flew down from the sky and charged at Excalibur, who was unprepared for a creature of certain power to come at him. Excalibur rolled out of the way and backed up as the bird grew closer. "Dad, run!" Excalibur yelled as the Harpy again tried to strike at him. Excalibur yanked off his necklace and threw it at the woman, it turned into a sword mid-air and fell onto the ground. "Why?" He asked. "Just run!" He yelled out. "Why are you killing a woman!" His father cried out. "I SAID RUN!" He shouted back.
His father was fast on his feet and sped away. Excalibur slashed and sliced at the bird woman, turning her to ashes that lied upon his feet. Excalibur never understood what happened that day, but he knew his father would have the knowledge and knew what to say at all the right moments.
His father handed Excalibur the note his mother left his father when he was first born and when he was a newborn." Your mother said a day like this would happen, when you would starts seeding creatures that I don't." He closed his eyes as Excalibur read the note. "Greek goddess, how is that possible?" He asked his father. "I don't know, we fell in love, you were born, she left me the note and left." His father said. Excalibur didn't know much, so he listened to his father.
A year or so later, a few months after Excalibur's twelfth birthday,a new neighbor moved into the vacant house next door. The next door neighbor was about the same age as Excalibur, so they easily became friends. The next door neighbor's name was Damian. He was always polite and very nice to Excalibur. He also helped Excalibur during his second monster attack. A harpy came charging at the two when they were swimming at Damian's house. Damian sprinted out of the pool and unwrapped his towel, revealing a pocketwatch. He spun it around and it became a Celestial Bronze trident. "A little help!" He shouted out. Damian sped over, they threw both of the blades at the same time, missing again. "Uh! Oh! I remember! If a wing is damaged, they're easier to kill, I read about it in a mythology book!" The harpy swooped down and he stuck up his sword, injuring the wing. "I got this." He said as the harpy lied on the ground. He shoved the sword through her heart, killing her. "Where's your parents?" Excalibur asked Damian. "I don't have any." He replied back. 'What?" He said curiously. "We'll talk about it later." Damian said as he guided Excalibur to the exit. "Wait, why don't you come and live with us?" He asked before he left. "I like being alone, I already took out all my stuff, and I don't want any more trouble to your family through what has already happened." He said. "No, it would be no trouble, I swear." He said. "No, I'm fine, I can take care of myself." He then closed the gate as Excalibur left. "Wait, then how'd you get this house then?" He asked. "It's actually my grandmother's, I come and live with her at points." He replied. "Well, okay then." He said as he left.
He would always call him "King" because of his name reminding him of the medieval ages, hence the nickname "King". A few days after the Harpy attacks at Damian's house, Damian came outside after having a long talk with him, he sped into Excalibur's house, asking him to stay in the front yard. After about an hour of waiting, he grabbed Excalibur's arm and sped into the woods.
After a few hours of walking, the moon rose in the sky, they walked for about another half hour. The clacking of hooves filled the night air as did the crackling of fire. Excalibur spun around and became face to face with a fire breathing horse. "Duck!" Damian shouted as he tackled Excalibur to the ground. He twisted the chain on his necklace and it became his sword. The horse snorted fire at him so he ducked back under the bush. "Throw your sword!" Damian said loud enough for "King" to hear, but quiet enough so the horse couldn't understand. He popped out from behind the bush and threw it with the best throwing skills he had gotten from playing football with his dad. The sword pierced the horse's throat and it exploded into golden ashes. "That was a close one." He said as they continued walking. Excalibur followed Damian through the forest until they came across a stone arch. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." He read with little hesitation."King, its where you belong, your mother would want you here, scurry in go on." Damian said the night that they reached the gate. "Are you sure?" He asked with hesitation. "Yes, I'm positive. I'm a satyr, we lead campers like you here, hurry get in before the other students see you. I told your father yesterday,no need to worry." Damian said as he showed his goat legs to Excalibur. "Fine, it feels right. Thank you Damian, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Excalibur scurried into the camp. Excalibur has spent the last month and a half at camp.
Current Age: Turned 13
Last Month
Weapons: Excalibur's weapon is his necklace that turns into a Celestial Bronze necklace in certain points of emergencies, as such of a monster attack or a fight with another camper. It turns back into a necklace when you twist the hilt of the sword counter-clockwise. The victor of 4 (talk) 18:33, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
Comments[]
- About the following part of your history: "but went missing after the childbirth"?, Goddesses generally disappear prior to childbirth and then give birth to their child in Olympus as they never do so in mortal hospitals.
- Please elaborate more on the early childhood, from the ages after he was born up to his first monster attack. There should be a bit about every few years of his childhood.
- Monsters do not directly attack mortals, as a demigod is their main priority, they would always go after the demigod first.
- Three harpies seems too much, three harpies would require at least three demigds to kill and as Excalibur isn't a child of a big-three god so his scent isn't as strong. His scent at the age of eleven might just attract one harpy.
- For each year after the first monster attack, that Excalibur did not go to camp, please add and elaborate on another monster attack.
- Assuming that Dwayne gave Excalibur the golden necklace that is able to transform into a sword, where did Dwayne get it in the first place?
- If Damian and Excalibur just disappeared from camp site and went to camp, the teachers would worry and a commotion might form. Plus Excalibur's father might be worried as Excalibur never said a word about going to camp.
- Please include Excalibur's current age for our reference.
Okay, I think I got everything you asked for, anything else?

Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
- It's unlikely for Excalibur to be the "smartest" kid, demigods generall have ADHD (high levels of inattention) and Dylexia (a language based learning disorder) and since he's not a child of Athena, the severity of it would not be less.
- Is Dwayne a clear sighted mortal? If not, the mist will twist his sight and the harpy would appear as a regular creature to him.
- Harpies are capable of flying quickly, if Excalibur tries to land a direct slash the harpy would most likely dodge it.
- Satyrs generally don't do the killing themselves but only assist demigods to slay a monster during a monster encounter.
- For each year after the first monster attack, that Excalibur did not go to camp, please add and elaborate on another monster attack.
- He was attacked by the harpy when he was eleven and the two harpies when he was twelve, so you'd need to fill the gaps between the ages of thirteen to fifteen with a monster attack each year.
- To the teachers, Damian is just a student to them as well, I don't think they'll just let him and Excalibur leave jsut because Damian told them.
I think I got it all
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---~Kevin---Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
- Empousai are categorized under medium on our wikia and one would require 3 to 5 demigods to kill. So, two empousai would require 6 to 10 demigods to kill. There's no way Excalibur and Damian would be able to kill them. As well as, a harpy requires at least one demigod to kill, so a harpy and an empousai would require at least 4 demigods to slay.
- Medium monsters are generally used for quests are if they do attack a demigod, it's a child of a big-three god. So kindly choose a monster from those categorized as light.
- It's unlikely for Excalibur to be attacked by more than one monster per encounter as he is not a child fo a big-three god nor does he know that he's a demigod.

Could you please expand on the parents meeting? Also it says that Daliah got pregnant and had a baby girl but left BEFORE she had the baby. How did he know she had a baby girl? Okay, I got it, I believe.
IT WAS ULTRAVIOLENCE ONCE UPON A DREAM ♫ DEATH
- Is Dwayne a clear sighted mortal? If not, the mist will twist his sight and the harpy would appear as a regular creature to him.
- If Damian was a satyr then who were Excalibur's neighbours/Damian's parents. As he's a satyr, he wouldn't have parents.The mist wouldn't twist reality and make a couple think a satyr is their child.
- I doubt that Excalibur and Damian throwing their weapons would end up hitting the harpy. The route the weapon launches towards is not going to be exactly straight, so there's a high chance of it missing.
- Giant scorpions are huge monsters, Excalibur wouldn't be able to flip it over in normal means or with pure strength.
Got it! :)
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---~Kevin---Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
- You said that new neigbour"s" moved in but who else were they aside from Damian and why did they let Damian live with them?
- How come Dwayne decided to give Excalibur the note his mother left him after the monster attack? The mist caused Dwayne to see the harpy as a woman so I don't see what so special about that time that Dwayne thought he should show Excalibur the note.
- It's unrealistic that Excalibur could flip a giant scorpion, that's huge, over using his blade.
I think I got it all
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---~Kevin---Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
Just something minor, the claim is almost ready for approval.
- A demigod with no experience with using weapons, I doubt that he'd know the techniques of using a sword.
- I was directing the first point from my previous comment to this: "A year or so later, a few months after Excalibur's twelfth birthday, new neighbors moved into the vacant house next door. The next door neighbor was about the same age as Excalibur, so they easily became friends."
- How did Damian get the house beside Excalibur's to live in? I don't believe that someone would just rent a house to a young child who may not have any money to pay the rent.
I got it

After encountering a monster and Damian knowing the danger of a demigod being outside of camp and with bringing Excalibur to camp being his task, Damian should try to get Excalibur as soon as possible not 3 to 4 years later.
Got it
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---~Kevin---Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
That's still one to two years, a satyr would try to "immediately" get a demigod to camp as it's dangerous for them to be outside of camp. As well as, they were encountering monsters each year. I changed it.
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|---~Kevin---Even if you end up as the world's enemy, I'll be your knight.
Just a one or two more things for now.
- Does Damian and Excalibur live nearby Camp Half-Blood? If they don't I don't think they will walk to camp and how come they didn't ask Excalibur's dad to bring them to camp as he probably has access to a car.
- Generally monsters try to stop demigods from getting to the safety of camp. So you should add a monster attack on the way to camp.
Yes they live close to camp, and I got it all, they would have to drive through the forest, I don't really know if that would make sense.

This claim has been approved as a son of Demeter. You now need to make a page for them and a word bubble, if you aren't sure how to do this you can see the guide here. Once you have done that you can add your character's name to the cabin list located on the cabin pages and start role playing with your new character. If you have any questions feel free to ask a member of the Admin team.
