History: Parent Background; Oliver Smith was born July 15th in York, UK to a middle class English family. Ever since childhood, he Aspired to be a world-renown author, often writing his own bedtime stories and participating in writing competitions. He went to St. John University for collegiate level learning, where he obtained a degree in writing as well as a minor In drama.
Adult Life: Oliver did something not many people do: Achieved his Dream. Though he wasn't world renown, he was one of the most famous authors in Europe, for his brilliant works: Twelve Violets and Saints of Night( Part of The Chronicles of Germaine Series), and even had a biography done upon him called The New Shakespeare. -How they met: He was doing a tour just before he met Aphrodite(Venus). First He did a Meet&greet in England, Then a speech in France,a gala in Spain, and Finally, he had a book-signing in Italy. This, is where he met Aphrodite. She, along with Dionysus had been inspiration of Shakespeare romance-tragedies , and came to see who his new upstart was. She was last in line for the signing and walked up flawlessly and effortlessly beautiful, her blond braids whipping behind her. Instantly, Oliver was in love. He stuttered ddd-de-do yuyu-you nned a b-b-boo-k? Aphrodite smiled at how low she ha reduced him. Her face was wiped clean when she saw him. "Gods is he gorgeous." she thought. He had windswept chestnut blonde hair and eyes of the same color. He was muscular with firm shoulders, Naturally, she felt the need to seduce him. He signed her book and asked her out for a cup of coffee. "Just what I was thinking!" she replied, We should get to know each other better. She giggled and walked away, Leaving Oliver quietly smiling to himself. 'I still got it' he thought, (though I don't and don't want to know what "it" is. eew.
The Next day, as he was getting ready for his "Big Date" his roommate, Charlie(who is bi, though Oliver is straight), walked in. "Hey Bud!' said Charlie, "who's the lucky lady tonight?' "Her names Charlotte" said Oliver, who was trying to decide if it was sexy to lave the top button open. 'Buddy!" whispered Charlie, " I know I'm attractive and all, but dating women named after me is a new low." "Charlie?" said Oliver,.... 'Shut Up." "No I'm serious!" he replied. "If your having some..... urges, I could help you ou- "Get out" said Oliver. "OK no, I was just kidding " began Charlie, " I'll stop, I promise" Read: I'll just annoy you in a different way. As Oliver walked out the door, Charlie slapped his butt and said, "go get 'em, Tiger."
The next few weeks with Aphrodite( Charlotte) were bliss. Well Except when Aphrodite freaked out about where he was taking her. You see, he told her they were going to a theater. " The AMPHITHEATER!" she screamed. "That's where Mars will be!" "Whats an amphitheater?" he asked. "I was just talking about the movies!" Ah yes, she said, the movies" "And Mars is.....?" began Oliver, still shocked at the sudden outburst. 'No not Mars" Lied Aphrodite " I said Bars..... you see, I don't drink. "Oh" said Oliver, suddenly ashamed at the money he had brought specifically for wine.
Other than that, However, life was great. Full of tea, dining, ordering movies of Amazon, and having.......um... never mind! But eventually Aphrodite just up and disappeared, though we know she had to return to Olympus.
Birth: Viola and Sebastian were set down in a picnic basket about 4 months after Aphrodite Left, along with A two part locket(one half for each) and a note reading: Dear Oliver, I am a godless. This might be a lot to take, in but I am Aphrodite, goddess of Eternal Beauty, though I'm sure you'd have figured that out, I mean just look at me! O wait no, that was rude. Anyway, these are your children. I'm going to need you to move to America sooner or later, it is the safest place for you children. Correction: Our children. When THEY start coming you'll know it is time. With Love( quite literally, Eros is the one who gave me this pen), Charlotte PS. Tell Calliope thanks right now!
Early Childhood: Viola & Sebastian grew up in their father's hometown of York. Though they did not know of their parentage, they did at least knew of their existence and that is the religion they followed. Viola teacher's always loved her and said she was gonna be a star, she had that natural talent. On the other hand, Sebastian's teachers were worried he would never blossom from "his cocoon" and said he was developing signs of being anti-social. This continued every year, the same cycle. The only person Seb, as they called him ,would open up to is Viola, but sooner or later her shoulder wouldn't be there to lean on, she was going to go off and make her own friends.
Mid- Life: First Monster Attack: Viola and Sebastian were taking the short route home. They were twelve and it was near the end of the 6th schoolyear, and they didn't feel like walking through the storm of kids with nothing better to do.They cut through the woods at the back of the school. Viola had lent Sebastian her jacket, so she was freezing. They heard a strange pitter- pater sound, like rain dripping or someone stepping on pebbles. The sound got louder the deeper they went, know becoming an od scuttling sound. "Seb?" viola called, "I think we should turn back". "No", he replied, "I already told dad we'd be home early. there was a lot of bramble, so they had to walk back a few steps so they could run and jump over the twigs and logs. When they landed, they were stunned. They were in a giant rockpit, and on the other side lay a Pale lilac, sleeping giant ant( A Myrmeke). Unbeknowest to them, the pheremones children of aphrodite give off were the only thing keeping it asleep. But that didn't last. It woke up and when they tried to run it lunged, only to double back noticing their lockets. It hissed spraying acid all around it, like a protective barrier. It clearly didn't need it though, because it was still stalking toward them. Viola! Seb shouted over the loud hissing. "Its scared of your locket!" It lunged again and Viola thrust out her locket as a last resort. Somehow they wern't being swallowed by a giant ant, so Viola open her eyes to see what happened. Viola was now holding a Clestial bronze sheild in the sape of a scallop, and the locket was gone. The Myrmeke ly face down over a broken log, it slowly dissolving inside out. It had tried to bite the sheild and died trying, becuase the sheild had cut right through the roof of its mouth. Seb!" she giggled, "See what yours does!" "No" he said coldly. "And we are never, ever telling dad." He stormed off, seeing the edge of the forst that led into their backyard, leaving Viola to stumble after him. "He's such a fraidy cat", she murmurred softly to herself.
Second Monster Attack: Viola and Sebastian were going for a swim in the outdoor pool. Viola had on a one-piece swimsuit, while seb was wearing a no shirt, and his swim trunks. Viola jumped in splashing seb in the eyes and face. As he went to go get his towls, he spotted a bruise-colored scale lying on the ground. "Hey Vi" he said, "What do you think this is from?" Viola reluctantly got out of the pool, walking over so see what it was. Unbeknowest to them, the Giant Scorpion was right ad the edge of the tree line, and had been waiting for them to get close. It leaped out so they could see it, but it was in no rush, it must've underestimated them. Their dad was in the house writing, probably with their luck in the soundproofed basement. Either way, Viola still began to scream, startling the monster a bit. It lashed out with its tail, but Seb was quick, whipping out his dager and cutting of the tp of its stinger, which fel to the ground steaming and useless. This angered the Scorpion and it lunged at them, as it sailed above them, Seb threw his dagger which landed hilt-deep in its soft underbelly, rendering it to dust in a matter of seconds. The dagger clattred to the ground, now returned to its locket form. "Seb" said Viola, 'that was amazing!." "He didn't reply but he turned and looked at Viola with a smirk on his face. And together, they walked inside.
Third Monster Attack: Now 14, and in 7th Grade, Viola had been Identified ADHD, and Sebastian dyslexic, so while she got no recess once a week, He was put in the slow class and even more separated from his Beloved sister. The Only class they had together was Home Economics. Even there, all he did was sit next to her, never speak , and occasionally fumble with stray cherries from the cupboards. It was the highlight of Seb's day, which says a lot about how his days normally go. He was bullied and taunted, cast aside and excluded.
Today they had a substitute, Ms. Sculick. As soon as Sebastian stepped into the room, being the first one there, she went to the door and locked it. Why'd you lock the door? asked Sebastian, quietly. "So I could Kill you!" replied Ms. Sculick , cheerfully pacing over to him. She attacked. She was really a Kere, she told him. The rest of the class had walked up to the door and left, the Mist showing them an empty classroom. But not Viola. She saw the true horror of it. The talons reaching for her brother, the evil red eyes of Ms. Sculick. The Kere didn't care who saw. She jumped on him, and Sebastian tried to fight back, even scraping his locket across her face, leaving a nasty gash. That only seemed to make her angrier. Tell your little sister to SHUT UP! SHE SCREAMED. tHE ONLY REASON SHE'S BREATHING IS CAUSE YOU GOT HERE FIRST! She shrew a mug at the door window, sending shard of glass at an unexpecting Viola. She pinned him down, her knees pressing on his rib-cage and unhinged her jaws and sprayed her breath directly into his gaping mouth. He fainted., and Viola , bawling her eyes, banging on the door, her throat raw, her nose bleeding had to watch her brothers convulsing body. The Kere ripped his locket off and tried to open it, but it turned into an Celestial Bronze Throwing knife, unbeknownst to her. It cut her and she slowly disintegrated, to weak to do anything else. The locket transformed back, which was fine by him, he didn't like fighting or blood.
The Aftermath: After this, they learned of their exact parentage, Oliver feeling it was a good a time as any. The Nosoi had given Sebastian anorexia. It developed slowly. Sebastian was on tumblr when he saw a really cute boy. His username was BeProAna. After reading his recent post. Sebastian decided that maybe it wasn't a curse. Maybe he'd lucked out and The Kere had given him the wrong disease. All he knew is that he needed to be perfect, and for him perfect was being Pro anorexia.
His weight slowly decreased day by day. He would only eat one meal a day , usually school lunch for fear of being sent to the counselor. At home, was a different story. His father could not make him eat. His father wanted to move to America, but he figured that big of a change would only worsen the issue. Seb would go up to his room and lock himself in. He was not going to be anything less than perfect. Sure, His sisters screams and plans and tears cut his very soul into about... seven pieces, but it wasn't his fault she didn't understand. She should wan't to be perfect to. His mother Aphrodite would understand. She was perfect and he should be perfect. This was his justification for crumbling his fathers heart, for destroying his own.
One horrible time, He nearly died. He was down to 7 Stones -10, which is 88 pounds. (7 stones =98, - 10+88). He had unlocked his door, as his Dad was not home and so he wouldn't be forced to eat. He was a little dizzy, which he accounted to eating to much, though it was quite the opposite. He went to take a shower, so he tried to push himself upright and off the bed. He found that he couldn't. He used all his strength and was able to get up, only to collapse of the heart attack he had immediately after.
Viola heard his screams and rushed up to his room. She saw him, half-dead on his bedroom floor. She laid down and bawled her eyes out, she cursed the gods for doing this to her, to her family. "Aphrodiiiiiiite!' she screamed. "If you can hear me, I want you to know, you will NEVER, EVER be my Mother! She tried to call her dad, but his phone went straight to voicemail. She went hysterical, pulling her hair out, throwing things, yelling her throat raw. Finally, she gained enough composure to realize her brother might die. "Wake up" she said to him "Pretty please", she sobbed out. In a last attempt she pleaded, 'with a cherry on top?".
Boom! He was awake, though still deathly pale and dying. She had literally saved his life, performing one of the most pure forms of charm-speak: One filled with so much desperation, It literally made his heart beat again. Her father arrived home a few minutes later. And rushed him to the hospital.
After another three weeks, he, at a nearly perfectly healthy 116 lbs. was allowed to join his sister at Camp, who'd left the previous week.(So she's been at camp for a week an he's just getting there the day I'm claimed.)
When he got there, Viola told him he was lucky nothing had attacked him. She explaine how she had been attcaked by a bunch of eerily quiet metal birds, and how she had stumbled upon a sword Lable(in greek), Rosanthe and how she wasn't sure if it was the swords name or the owners. She said she had been frustrated and banged the sheild against the sword and how she had noticed it disorented the birds, long story short, she scared them away and made it safely.
The day I get claimed is their Sixteenth birthay( In Son of Neptune it says sixteen is a good day to get claimed)
Weapons:
Peristeri( Greek 4 dove) -Sebastians light throwing knife, forming from his half of the locket - He's never seen it, he was too scared to look.
Chteni (Greek 4 scallop)- Viola's scallop shield forming from her half of the loket.
Rosanthe- A Celestial Bronze sword found by Viola, formerely belonged to someone else
Comments[]
Hey there! Your claim's real cool (I liked the bit with Oliver's roommate), but let's fix some point up, yeah?
- Does the phrase "know of their existence" mean that they know they're demigods? If so, mind if you make the attack earlier, since there's two of them, and knowing about what they are makes their scent stronger to monsters. Also, why wasn't Violet attacked?
- I believe Nosoi is not a monster used here. You can find light monsters for their attacks here.
- Why didn't Oliver heed to Aphrodite's instructions to go to America?
- They came to Camp at 13, if my reading was correct, right? Maybe you can state their current age, either before or after the claim. And how long have they both been in Camp? The wiki has a two-week rule, in which an unclaimed demigod can only stay in Camp for two weeks max prior to being claimed.
- Minor, what do you exactly mean when you stated in Seb's appearance, that he has blond hair during the summer, but brown during the others? We base on real life happenings here, save for the Greek stuff, so basically a person's hair can't change because of the change of seasons. (Sorry if I understood wrong, really).
All I see for now. :)
Re: Read the Birth section agin on why they hadn't moved to America. Yeah ok now the attack will be at age 12, and Violet wasn't in the room, but read that part again I'll change some stuff. And she said sooner or later and that he'll know when, which is after their first attack. Yeah they come to camp 13 a month away fro 14. Viola got to camp a week and a half before Seb. Ok I'll fix most of it but hair can get darker in the winter plus children of aphrodite have shifting hair/ eye color. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081101202810AA2W8bI
Also, is there some other spirit that could give him that disease because its kinda importent to the story.

Okkaayyy I see. So the only monster I know that could be like the Nosoi are the Keres, but they're pretty hard. It's a suggestion, anyway. And honestly, I don't understand why they didn't move to America. Was it all about the letter?
It said move to America after the first monster attack in the letter. the word 'They' mean monsters, read the second paragraph of ' The Aftermath' on why they still din't move when they should've. Omg thanks for the Keres thing lol I was gonna be sooo frustrated if I had to change everything. And even though there hard to beat it doesn't matter because they didn't beat her. ThanX! Oh Also, they are 15 now., Added another monster attack and all that. Viola arrives before, but Seb the day I( they) get claimed.
Oceanhalo12 16:12, June 24, 2016 (UTC)
Okay I understand now. Sorrrryyy. Anyway, I'm not sure how the myrmekes could've swallowed the shield entirely. I mean, it's jaws are just put out for its mouth and for grabbing things only. And please state too that her shield is Celestial bronze. Also, the wiki doesn't allow Imperial gold since that's from another place, and only allows Celestial bronze here as the only metal that could kill monsters (exemption for kids of gods of the Underworld who can have Stygian iron). Peace out \\.//
Ok fixed everything
Oceanhalo12 14:53, June 27, 2016 (UTC)
- One question. What age was their first monster attack? I assume at 13 and if so then that is a bit late for two demigods. The more demigods there are the stronger their scent is casuing a first monster attack to come earlier. I would suggest maybe adding a monster attack at age 12? (i apologize in advanced if i mix up the monster attack ages)
- Also, although weapons are not a big deal in claims anymore i must notify you that daggers or shields are great for primary weapons. perhaps they were able to find primary weapons when arriving at camp. Something like a sword, Bow & Arrow, etc etc..
That really all i see before this claim can be accepted c:
“When words fail, Music speaks.” ~ The Musician
No, they were twelve at the first one, fourteen at the second and 15 at the third one I'm adding in, in which Viola will find her sword. Hope it works out! Oh, and are you left-handed?
Oceanhalo12 15:30, June 28, 2016 (UTC)
Hey from what you said the last time someone had a look at this it seems like the monster attacks were inconstant. There is a rule (I think it is a rule) that after the first monster attack happens there needs to be like one every year. You can get around this if you still want to keep the ages you have but that kind of stuff is like magic or an overpowering smell from a mortal
You can't fix me. I'm unbreakable. .The Jam Man.
So, I have ones at 12, 14, and 15. I just need one at 13. Cool. Itl be added.
Ok thanks for being such a good sport with all these comments and your claims is almost ready to be claimed c: I do however have one last question that can be easily clarified.
- How long have they been at camp? From your previous comment above, You say they were attack at 15 which i assume was the Stymphalian bird that attack Viola? Then you say they were claimed at 16 which leads me to beleive that they have either been at camp for a year or that the monster attack at 15 was really a few days before their 16th birthday, meaning they would have only been at camp for like a few days maybe a week (Turning from 15 to 16 in that one week.)
- Oh and o answer you question from you other comment (That i assume was for me xD) No i am not left handed i'm right handed
“When words fail, Music speaks.” ~ The Musician
Yeah its the few days thing, In son of neptune Frank and Vitellius say 16 is a good age to be claimed so I made them arrive a bit before turning sixteen.

Good to go c: Although someone should have mentioned you didn't have to detail all the monster attacks >.< just a simple summary that they actually happened
