Name:
Seraphim Lévesque
Age: Seventeen
Mortal Parent: Iphimedeia
God: Aetna
Appearance:
Personality: Seraphim is an occassionally charismatic, manipulative little vixen who has become increasingly clever with the more time she spends outside of her lava cacoon. Since arriving at Camp, she has been slowly discovering her own personality as well as trying to do her best to educate herself and train to be a talented demigod. She has a drive like no other and her passions are as fiery as her heritage and has been known to use people for her own gain instead of making friends. She seems to have a guard in place and won't exactly let someone get close to her without one hell of a struggle first. She is untrusting of most and usually tries to stay far away from the general populace out of her own sheer annoyance.
She can be pleasant once in a while but the occassion is usually rare and unpredictable, easily corrupted by the reactions of others. To pass time, she reads or trains with her twin blades. One of her hobbies happen to be fashion after she spent a little time in Milan and she fully intends to become a designer one day. Aside from the basic foundation of her personality, Seraphim hasn't technically been alive for very long and so her personality is bound to develope with more time and experiences.
History: Atlantis was once a utopian civilization at the peak of naval power when a series of misfortunate events wiped the Atlantians from history, a myth of a lost city all that remained of its legacy and the only thing left behind. As the truth begins to be picked apart by mortal geologists, Atlantis remains a mystery with various different versions of its existence circulating the populace. One such states that Poseidan created an island for his mortal love Cleito to dwell and she had five sets of twin boys who became the rulers of Atlantis and divided among them. The legend goes that Zeus discovered their immortality when greed and power began to corrupt them and gathered the gods to determine a suitable punishment.
Plato wrote about Atlantis over two thousand years ago and the origin of the story had never been identified. But some mortal geologists think the myth may have been based upon actual events. Over five thousand years ago, the Minoans thrived on the island of Crete and were at the peak of their power until oddly enough they were wiped from history. The island of Santorini, home to the Volacano of Thera, was just north of Crete and held a wealthy Minoean seaport. Around 1600 BC, Thera erupted and destroyed the entire island of Santorini and reached as far as the coast of Crete with the help of a related tsunami. Atlantis thusly sunk beneath the water and was reclaimed later by Posedian for an Underwater Kingdom.
But the story doesn't stop there and among all the devestation and loss, a demigod child was born. Her story begins with an Atlantian woman by the name of Iphimedeia who travelled to a nearby island with her father to sell and gather fish. Sadly, she wanted nothing more than to be back on Mount Etna with her forbidden lover, a goddess whose domain she came to love. She worshipped the goddess and in return, Aetna showered her in rare affections. Iphimedeia was forced to return home which destroyed her when she had to say goodbye to her one true love. Life without Aetna was rather dull and Iphimedeia devoted herself to selling fish with father when the volcano on the island erupted and destroyed everything in its wake. Back home in Atlantis, a tsunami caused by the eruption completely desimated the lands and people and sunk the island beneath the water. When Aetna learned of Impimedia's death she was absolutely devestated and as a tribute to her mortal love, used the ashes left behind to create a child with her blood and the blood of Imphimedia. Seraphim's creation happened at the base of the Volcano and her body was cacooned in a casket or cooled lava for many centuries. During that time, she aged significally slower than a regular demigod and the lava maintained a certain perservation of the girl.
Her whereabouts became apparent in 2018 when a son of Hermes discovered a manticore furiously digging at the base of the volcano. Sergio slayed the monster and spent nearly three nights digging at the hole where the Manticore had been so invested. It was a shock to discover Seraphim beneath all the cooled lava. Believing she was dead, he wrapped her up in a blanket and placed her onto his boat with full intention to bring her to a museum for profit. But Seraphim woke from her long slumber. Unaware of who she was beside the fact that she was a demigod, Sergio figured the best place for her was to be at Camp Half-Blood and so he took her to the United States. Aside from her limited vocabulary, Seraphim seemed to catch onto life outside of the earth and took a special interest in Milan's fashion before they left. Upon her arrival at Camp Half-Blood, Seraphim was claimed by the goddess Aetna and placed into her cabin and has been actively trying to act like a normal demigod. During a dream on the first night at Camp, Aetna visited her and told her what her first name was and a little bit about her creation story. Ultimately given the option to pick her own surname, she randomly chose Lévesque with no real reasoning behind the selection. As a gift from her mother, she recieved twin blades that were forged using the heat of the lava from her volcano and made with two different metals.
Weapon:
Twin Shadows - twin blades forged with the lava from the volcano she was found at and made from tempered steel and celestial bronze, rendering them deadly due to their ability to harm monsters and mortals alike. They were a gift to Seraphim from Aetna upon her arrival to camp.
This claim has been approved as a child of Aetna. 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.
