Blissful and nearly idiotic are things people have said about Emelio Antonio upon their first meeting and they are true, but to an extent. Although they are simple, they are the characteristics others pin to him upon their first meeting of the male and those few people have even attempted to take advantage of him. Those who actually know him would think that he’s extremely weird and he has done a lot of things people would consider weird. Examples of this behavior include when he has played a friends cat like as a banjo for talent show when he was in elementary school on a dare, he's ran around a theater flailing his arms like an idiot for no real reason, and has even 'slid' off a roof one using a mattress. That time actually ended with him having a broken wrist and he hasn't done something like that since. Some people even seem to think he's a little insane since he's done a lot of weird things, some on the borderline crazy side. Therefore some people attempt to avoid him, but he still tends to speak to those people as if he has never had any problems with them.
With all of this being said, he’s actually smarter than what people give him credit for, but he very rarely applies it given that he’d rather play the blissful idiot until the use of his intelligence suits him. This always catches those who have taken advantage of him off guard considering he turns into his true self; Someone who’s calculating and putting things into play that suit his needs whilst playing the role of the person everyone least expects as to influence those around him. He has no intention of ever showing his true colors except to those who threaten him which has rarely ever happened. The few times this has occurred, the people involved couldn’t believe his behavior themselves and had even gone to the extent of attempting to reveal Emelios true self, which has never worked out in anyone's favor, but his own. It always turned into those people transfering schools or even moving far away as the situation would escalate to such a stage. He feels no remorse for his actions due to his belief that he's allowed to act as he wants so long as it doesn't hurt himself. In reality, he's a selfish guy and cares very little for those around him and rarely considers people his actual friends. He would never tell someone that straight out. His personal relationships are never kept for long since he's not the type for anything serious, yet people don't seem to notice this since he has been able to manipulate his partners into thinking they don't want to be with him anymore. It usually plays in his favour, but the few times it hasn't ended well lets just say he turned nasty and said some things people said were out of character. Meaning people didn't believe those few people.
A small time fruit stand owner, living in Hawaii, is all Miguel Andres was when he met his wife, the one he would eventually cheat on. They were married about a year when he met Mnemosyne, Tera was the name she had actually given him, someone he deemed too beautiful and someone he didn't really see as anyone other than a customer until she kept coming back and sticking around for longer periods of time. It became so that they eventually started to hang out away from his job and at bars & restaurants which was something he hid from his wife. Something that turned into late nights out with 'the guys' a small white lie that grew and grew until eventually he didn't make excuses anymore and she stopped asking questions. Their marriage was falling apart and he knew it would be any day now before she would ask him for a divorce or maybe for something he wasn't ready for. This, in his mind, led him to Tara's arms and then to her bed, something he didn't regret.
He slept with her and thought that he could be with this woman, a woman he barely knew. Except she disappeared a few days after which caused him to spiral down into a pit of depression for his infidelity and for thinking such a thing while he was already married to a woman he thought he loved. It was only a few months later when his infidelity came to light, when the ringing of a doorbell early in the morning brought a screaming child with it. Something that greatly confused him considering it had only been a few months since he had sexual relations with the women, but a note found with the child included information about her being a Greek goddess, that the child would eventually need protection from creatures that would come for him in his later years, and that there was a camp that would give him this protection when he would need it most. Something he still didn't believe and wouldn't believe just yet, so instead he tried to hide the fact he had a son and sent him to live with his sister for a little while as he tried to figure out if he truly was the father. A simple DNA test proved this to be true and it felt like he had ruined his life. After all, he didn't want a child yet, he didn't have the means to provide for the boy. He eventually told his wife and she did as he had thought she would: She left him and served him the divorce papers not too long afterwards. This had caused him to fall even further into the pit of depression and he even turned to alcoholism.
This wasn't a very ideal place for a child, but he still showed him love and eventually gave him a name: Emelio Antonio García-Cruz, naming him after his own father, the father who had passed away when he, himself, was a child. To say things were easy to raise a child as a single father would be wrong, in actuality it was extremely difficult especially since he didn't make enough money. This eventually caused him to turn to things he had turned his back on during his teenage years: selling drugs and working with the local gangs. Something that proved to be easy considering some of his family members were into the drug dealing business still. Especially since it brought a nice amount of money in, much needed money. With the funds and connections he was able to create with shady people, he was able to open a legitimate business; a retail store. One that would turn into a local chain as the years went on.
As this happened in Emelio’s younger years, he was able to live a rather cushy life in comparison to his peers. This caused him to build up a complex of superiority over others, something he would learn to hide over the years as it wouldn't help him with his goals. Goals his father would instill in him as time went on. Emelio was sent to a private school, starting there when he was 5 years old. His first two years were rather uneventful, at least to himself anyway, but in his second year of school the teacher he had grew irritated with the boys overactive energy. This ended with his instructor calling his father for a recommendation of sending Emelio to a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist diagnosed Emelio with having ADHD with the recommendation of him taking medication, which his father never allowed him to take. He didn't want his son to be taking something that would actually hurt him in the long run. With this being said, Emelio tried his best to calm down while in school so that his father wouldn't get anymore complaints and instead stuck to being energetic during recess and P.E., though his feeling of being better than those around him never left. This alone caused a few cases where he ended up fighting another student, something that he didn't mind doing, but eventually, when he was 10, he realized that he needed to stop fighting people and getting them to like him. Something only someone who was wiser beyond his age would think about. This only led to the start of his real personality being pushed to the back in favor of being the loveable idiot people would standby, something even his future instructors would be fine with as long as it didn't bother other students too much or cause too many distractions due to the likeable quality he had.
His first monster attack happened after he had tried out for his middle school football team, he was 12 at the time, which was something he wasn't actually too interested in and had only joined because he had noticed people flocked to those who played sports. It was easy for him to get on the team, what with his naturally good reflexes, from what he assumed were good genetics, and his natural likeability. After tryouts had led out, Emelio had decided to head over to the beach for a quick swim, something he would regret doing that day. As he walked along the sandy shore, something hit him on the back hard causing him to fall to the sand face first. When he was finally able to get his wits about him, he flipped himself over only to see some ugly looking fish? or maybe it was a dog? He thought he was seeing things, but he didn't stop to ponder it too long as he noticed the creature was going for another blow. He was able to roll away and get up, only to run for his life. The creature had started to run after him, but when he turned, about two minutes later, the creature was nowhere to be seen, something that astounded him. Maybe he was just imagining things? The pain could have been caused by a volleyball for all he knew. He went home that day and told his father and that didn't end too well on his part.
What he didn't know was that someone was actually watching him, making sure that he was safe for nearly a year now. Someone who was in contact with the boy's father. It was a satyr, named payton, from camp half-blood, someone who was trained in fighting so that he could keep the demigod safe until the boy's father had deemed it time for him to leave for camp. Something he did just now with slaying the Telekhine and turning it into a pile of dust. The satyr had enrolled in the boys school and had even become friends with Emelio, therefore it wouldn't be weird if he actually ran into Emelio just yet. This would go on for a few more years, his friend fighting monsters while Emelio just ran or hid and his father would just tell him he was crazy, sending him to therapy so that he'd believe it for now. The reason for this was that Miguel wasn't ready to send his son away to a place he might not want to leave, he didn't want to be alone again which was something he dreaded.
The monster attacks came each year, each one more vicious than the previous ones. When he was 13 he got attacked by a large dog, an actual hellhound, while he was walking home from the store. It was weird, because one moment he was walking and the next thing he felt was something tearing and sharp stinging pain as he fell down the steps he had been climbing and falling unconscious. Peyton had, once again, been following him once again and had slain the creature with little struggle as it had been more occupied with trying to kill the teen. The attack would eventually leave a long scar on his back, his father lied and just said he had a bad fall which wasn't true, but Emelio guessed that it was because of the hallucinations. When he was 14 he was attacked by Stymphalian birds. The flock had decided to just come down on him while he was eating lunch and at first he didn't think anything of it until they came at him. Which only caused him to get up, run, and hide under a table as the birds came after him. Though the other attack never came and he just sat under there petrified only to be told that he had angered the birds and that they had only attacked only out of defense and that if Peyton hadn't been there to shoo them off he probably would have gotten seriously injured. Which he didn't buy since he hadn't done anything to anger them, but decided not to question it considering he didn't want to seem as if he were lying. Another monster attack came when he was 15 and it happened with a sense of familiarity with it. The monster was another Telekhine, one that had been stalking the teen for awhile now, almost as if it were waiting for his prey to be vulnerable and away from those who could protect him. This wasn't an easy task but it happened when he was studying for a test in the school yard. This ended with him being knocked unconscious and getting some pretty hefty scars on his lower torso as the monster had decided to have a little fun with the teen, slicing up what he felt like to cause him pain, pain that would of woken him up had he not been hit to the point of having a concussion. After the attack, he woke up in the hospital, his father explained it away by saying he was the target of a psychopath and that they had been arrested, but for some reason he felt that his father was probably lying to him, but he also knew it was plausible since his father seemed to hang around the shadier people. Maybe someone had just wanted to kill him to cause his father emotional pain? It was very plausible. In reality the telekhine had been slain by his friend Peyton and turned to another pile of ash, something the satyr was growing bored with.
Other than the monster attacks, Emelio had a rather normal childhood, what with being able to do whatever he wanted due to his father’s illegal affairs. This meant that he was able to hone his artistic, acting, and musical skills. All of which he thrived in, due to his ability to retain information especially when it came to learning and reading about the different skills and techniques. The one thing he really liked though was his art and over time he thought about the different careers he could have. Each time it was something different like a painter, a manga artist, a designer, and lastly a tattoo artist. The last one stuck as it was something that he thought would be fun and a way to actually get his name out there. He loved it and eventually he was able to obtain a tattoo gun, it was actually a gift from his father. Having the tattoo gun had him wanting to start getting his work out there even if it was illegal. He was 16 when he did his first tattoo, it was to one of his close friends and the tattoo turned out pretty bad, but eventually he was able to fix the tattoo when he had the proper techniques down, something that actually took him awhile as he did his work on other people. With this being done, it got his name out there something that made him happy.
A few months after his name got out there, he was stil 16, he had another monster attack. This time things weren't covered up and he didn't cower away from the Hellhound that had come for him. He thought it was just his overactive imagination and that it was probably just a regular dog, but this time Payton had been out with and made sure to protect him. Pushing him out of the way as he pulled a sword out of what seemed like nowhere only to plunge it into the monster and turn the monster into a pile of dust. Something he couldn't cover up and it didn't matter anymore, because he was getting tired of hiding what was going on and making Emelio believe a lie. So he explained everything to the teen, making sure to point out that he was actually a satyr, and that's when Emelio's anger nearly boiled over, because he felt betrayed. So betrayed that he didn't want to go home even telling his friend so. That's when he told Emelio about camp half-blood and that he could go there if he wanted to and that he probably should since monsters would be coming after him since he now knew himself to be a demigod. Which was something the teen jumped at wanting to go somewhere he wouldn't be deemed a nutjob for the sake of keeping him there. So when his dad wasn't home, he went back to get a bookbag with clothing and his tattoo gun & tattoo supplies. Something he thought he needed since he probably wouldn't be able to obtain a new one if he left it behind. With that they got tickets for a plane ride to New York and got to camp half-blood without incident.
Not long after arriving at camp half-blood, he was claimed as a child of Mnemosyne and he was told who his mother was. He found the person to be his mother rather fitting considering she had all the qualities he liked to see in people. A week and a half after arriving his birthday passed making him currently 17 years old, a rather eventful birthday for once in his life as people had gone out of their way to do something for him. He's been at camp for two weeks now.
Offensive[]
- Children of Mnemosyne have the ability to write/read weapons out of pure energy which can be used for combat; however, only one weapon can be conjured at a time and it cannot be bigger than the one who conjured it. They can also write/read other objects that are for non-combative purposes
- Children of Mnemosyne can launch orbs of ink which burst upon striking the target, temporarily obscuring their vision. They can only launch three orbs of ink at a time.
Defensive[]
- Children of Mnemosyne have the ability to write/read a shield of pure energy, roughly two to three times the size of the user, which will blunt most attacks but slow the movement of the conjurer.
- Children of Mnemosyne have the ability to revert time around them for a short duration in order to dodge an attack that was unforeseen. After doing so, this ability cannot be used for a while.
Passive[]
- Children of Mnemosyne gain memory of the contents of any written text - such as a book or a webpage - as soon as they lay eyes on it. They would still have to learn what it all means, however.
- Children of Mnemosyne have an eidetic memory and can remember every detail of a previous fight with an opponent.
- Children of Mnemosyne can see a few seconds into the future; allowing them to possibly predict the actions of others, but also obscuring their sight at times.
Supplementary[]
- Children of Mnemosyne are able to force everyone around them within a 10-meter radius to remember and dwell on an event from their past that emulates a certain emotion from the affected. The child of Mnemosyne can choose which emotion they would like their targets to feel, be it anger, sadness, happiness, ecstasy or anything in or ecstasy. The user cannot hold the targets under their control for more than a few minutes, and the effects of the power can cause those around them to become positive and motivated from their happy memory
- Children of Mnemosyne can use descriptive insults used both against themselves and their opponents to gain a temporary boost in speed and strength. The longer they maintain this boost, the more energy is drained.
- Children of Mnemosyne can read/write wings into existence. This enables them to fly; the longer they maintain this state, the more energy it drains. They must rest between flights and cannot make long distance traveling without resting often. However the wings are vulnerable to injuries and magic; they can also be customized to the user’s preference.
- Children of Mnemosyne have the ability to travel back and forth in time, but they are unable to interact with or change past events they are only able to see the events play out. When they go forward in time they only see “possible” futures, that does not mean those future events will come to pass.
- Children of Mnemosyne can view the memories of another person that they can see, in real time. They may struggle to zero in on specific memories, however, and the target can notice and resist them if they are too forceful.
3 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Mnemosyne can temporarily rewrite details about the battlefield they are fighting on in order to alter it and gain an advantage over their opponent. This could include things like temporarily eliminating the shadows on a battlefield if they are fighting a child of Nyx or temporarily drying up the water if they are fighting a child of Poseidon. The change takes effect gradually and only lasts for a moderate time. The more complicated the wording of the change, and the less clear their description of it is, the more the user is drained.
6 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Mnemosyne can manifest a person or creature from any book in order to temporarily fight alongside them. The manifestation cannot be larger than 2-3 the size of the user and will dissipate after a short time. The person cannot be overly powerful and the user will have a hard time moving while the manifestation is in place.
9 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Mnemosyne can morph into a state of pure imagination. This grants them flight, receive enhancement in some of their abilities (Offensive 1, Defensive 1, 3 Month and 6 Month) and invulnerability to attacks. This effect only lasts for a short time, leaving the user extremely drained and temporarily unable to move afterward.
Traits[]
- Children of Mnemosyne typically have excellent memories, unable to forget details from their past and are therefore immune to the effects of amnesia and other memory-related illnesses.
- Though most demigods struggle with dyslexia, children of Mnemosyne usually do so to a lesser extent because their mother is the goddess of the written word.
- Children of Mnemosyne can normally learn and decipher other languages incredibly easy. Ex: Hearing a woman speak Chinese would mean the user could somewhat understand even if they never heard the language before. If they then have a lengthy conversation with the woman in Chinese, they’d be considered fluent in the language afterward.
- Children of Mnemosyne often grow up to become great authors, English teachers, and historians.
