PJO RP!
My first RP back!
We start this RP at Camp Half-Blood. This takes place after BoO, but before any new books, which we’ll disregard.
It’s pretty normal at Camp Half-Blood. Sure, there’s love drama and fighting, but that always happens, pretty much anywhere. But one day, a mysterious group of four kids (two girls, two boys) come along. They all have dark blue, almost purple eyes, with night-black hair. Like dementors, they radiate a negative aura, much worse than Nico di Angelo’s. Chiron welcomes them, because he always does, but it becomes pretty obvious that they’re hiding something. Our charries are trying to find out what it is.
What are they hiding?
They’re not demigods. They’re demons from Hades. They escaped the Underworld, and are trying to bring back more to join them.
But one of them isn’t like the rest. He realizes that what they are doing is wrong, and tries to warn the half-bloods. It quickly escalates into a battle, but for this demon, both his siblings and the demigods are against him. There will be deaths, so if you want to kill your character, make two! You can have up to three, and as many people can join as they want. If you want to come in the middle of the RP, make sure to ask first, but we’ll welcome you.

Personality:
Appearance:

Backstory:
My characters:
Name: Adeline Chen
Age: 14
Godly parent: Aphrodite
Personality: A total beauty geek, she has two million subscribers on her YouTube channel for beauty and makeup. She’s quite nice for an Aphrodite kid, she isn’t stuck-up, but she does spend a huge amount of time and money on makeup and beauty products. Super optimistic and energetic (she has to be, for her channel), she’s got a decent number of friends outside of her cabin. She believes in small acts of kindness, which can be cheesy at times, but she always means well. If she weren’t an Aphrodite kid, she’d be Athena, because she’s really curious about everything. She asks too many questions.
Appearance: Really pretty, obviously. As I said before, she wears a ton of makeup. Her hair is dyed purple and pink, and she pretty much looks like a Chinese model, except she’s fourteen.
Favorite weapon: She’s not all that good at fighting, so charmspeak and her bow and arrow (she loves the Apollo kids).
Backstory: Her father met Aphrodite because he works as a businessman (NOT scientist) for L’Oreal. She lived with him in Paris until she was ten, and since there were no monsters in France, it was safe for her to know she was a demigod. She still has a French accent. She moved to America and was put in Camp Half-Blood immediately, her father going back to France. She started her YouTube channel when she was thirteen, and it grew super quickly.
My second charrie:
Name: Jasper Shannon
Age: 15
Godly parent: Hermes
(I’ll do the personality after the backstory, and you’ll see why.)
Appearance: Brown hair, dark eyes. A lot of scars from living in the streets.
Favorite weapon: Sword
Backstory: Jasper was turned out into the streets at age eleven, when he came out to his family as gay. Living in the streets of Boston, he met Magnus Chase, which is the reason that Magnus mentions all the homeless LGBTQ+ kids. A satyr found him, thank the gods, and he went to Camp Half-Blood. He wasn’t claimed until after the war.
Personality: He used to be really shy. You’d be, too, if you were gay. But he met Will Solace, and gradually they became friends. No, he didn’t develop a crush on Will. It was platonic. He’s more open now, and he hates sarcasm. Will is his only friend, outside of the Hermes cabin. He pranks with his siblings, and gets along pretty nicely. He can pick locks with his mind, like most of the other Hermes kids. He’s rather curious, because he once made a mistake of not asking questions and it almost cost him his life.
Also, let’s try to develop a love triangle or two in here! Those are always fun.

Oh, right... I forgot about that little tidbit. Sorry!
Then I'll change my Godly parent to Apollo.

Let's start! Sorry it's on the shorter side, I just want to get something out quickly.
~Adeline~
“I lost my mascara!” Drew screeches. She frantically rummages through her makeup kit again. “I lost my favorite mascara!”
I pause in the middle of applying my lipstick. “Relax, Drew,” I say. “Don't freak out. Everything will be okay. You can use mine.” It’s only the nice thing to do, right?
“You and your acts of kindness.”
“Or you could just go without it . . .” I turn on just a hint of charmspeak.
That seals the deal. “Give me your mascara. Right now.”
I refrain from reminding her that she isn’t head counselor, she can’t boss me around, and anyways, I’m doing her a favor. Instead, I smile. “Sure!”
It’s a regular day at Camp Half-Blood. Kids are sparring, practicing battle moves, shooting at targets, et cetera. The Athena kids are arguing about something. I’ve just uploaded a new hair tutorial on YouTube, and it already has fifty thousand likes! At the end, of course, I reminded everyone to stay positive and keep smiling. As Audrey Hepburn says, “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

Name: Grace Gardania
Age: 12
Godly parent: Not claimed (Probably Demeter)
Personality: Shy, sweet, helpful, tends to keep to herself, makes obsevations in a small notebook she carries with her (she would die if anyone looked in it)
Appearance: Long brown hair, green eyes, blue t-shirt, flower clips, usually a bit dirt smeared
Favorite weapon: herbs
Backstory: Her dad worked at the botanic garden in Washington DC and it was there that he met Demeter. She used to always go there there to help out but then a few monsters started noticing her at school. Her dad was unaware that he married a goddess but did know that his daughter was somehow getting beaten up at school so he sent her to a boarding school even though she insisted she was fine. A satyr ended up finding her and she was taken to camp half blood.

Eliza~
I lay on the top bunk, scrolling through YouTube on my iPad. Suddenely I see a notification and I click on it, realizing it's Adeline's channel. I roll my eyes and hit unsubscribe. That snivelling diva. Why was I even subscribed to her in the first place? Then it hits me that one of my half-sisters hacked into my account and subscribed to all of the kids that I don't have a particular liking for. Whatever.
Just then Sophia opens the door to the cabin and rolls her eyes. "There you are, shrimp. What're you doing?"
She swings onto my bunk and looks over my shoulder. "Oh, that Chen girl over in some number cabin. Aphrodite, right?"
I laugh and playfully push her. "How can you not tell? You're the one who made me subscribe to her!"
She laughs back and punches me in the shoulder, way harder than I expected.
"Oops," she says. "Anyway, you should come to the spear throwing contest. It's happening right now."
I scoff. "No way. I saw you guys arguing, and I would rather not get pummeled."
"So you would rather go bow shooting with Apollo kids," she says, giving me a look.
I smirk. "Yep. One-hundred percent."
She rolls her eyes and hops off of the bunk. "When you're ready to stop being a chicken, follow me!"
"Fat chance!" I yell back as she walks out of the cabin.
I sit for a second before closing my computer, climbing off of my bunk, and opening the door to the outside.
Seriously, though, Sophia's right. How am I even an Athena kid?

Sol~
"This cabin is bogus."
I throw down my pen, staring at the people around me. How can they even concentrate with so much music? Lyres, guitars, drums, harps-- you name it, we've got it, and they're all playing different songs at different times. I can distinguish every one, but music does not assist my poetry. I need to hear the rhythms of nature.
I gather up my notebook and a pen, slipping out of the cabin. The woods will be much better.
"Hey! Sol! Where are you going?"
I turn and feel my cheeks heat up as Will Solace hurries towards me. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met, but he's also cabin counselor. Certainly he's noticed my absence from his archery lessons. And now I'm about to skive off again. What should I say? "Hi, Will."
Pathetic. I slap myself inwardly. "Sol, you haven't been at practice," he says, "and now you're running off. What's up?"
"Well, I was actually-- um--" One thing I forgot to mention: I go deep into the forest. Really deep. Definitely-not-allowed-to-go-that-far deep. "I was-- getting a breath of fresh air."
He rolled his eyes. "Okay, technically, you're not lying. But Leo told me he's seen you when he goes to Bunker 9 sometimes. You realize you're not allowed there, right?"
Of course I know that. I'm not a newbie-- though he still treats me like one. "Um, yeah. I won't do it anymore, Will. Promise." Liar.
"In that case, come with me! You need to make up all those archery lessons."
Oh no. I groan inwardly. I really don't want to spend hours sending sticks at targets. But there's not much I can do, is there?
I drag my feet as I follow Will. Well, I'm not doing this willingly.

I'll write Tay's later.

. . . Looks like I'm posting twice in a row. Sorry!
Tay~
"No, no, no!" I snap, marching up to Isabella, my newest trainee. "Look-- your fingers have to be like this, otherwise the knife's not going to fly straight. Yes, I know it's uncomfortable, but if you don't practice like that, you'll never get it right!"
"But I can barely throw it with my fingers like this!" Isabella complains.
"Practice!" I chirp. "Practice, practice, practice! That's the only way you'll get better."
"Yeah, well, if practice makes me break a finger, I'll sue you!"
"Go ahead and do that!" If Isabella really did try to sue me, I'd bet all my money I'd win-- very easily, too. Anyway, Chiron would never let her-- I'm just teaching her how to throw a knife, aren't I?
She storms off, and I happily take her place. Isabella may not like practice, but I sure do! There's nothing better than a few bull's-eyes to boost the old self-esteem.
"Oh?" Ping! My phone vibrates in my back pocket, and I pull it out, checking my notifications. It's just Adeline's channel. I subscribe to her because she's pretty nice, and I use a few of her makeup tips, but in general it just clogs up my time. Well, to each her own!
I leave the targets and wander around camp. We're supposed to have a camp councelor meeting later, I think-- we have one every day, it seems like. Chiron says we'll be getting some new campers tomorrow, so maybe that's what it's about.

I'm just supposing Hades' demons haven't arrived yet.
(February 20, 2017 - 10:55 pm)
BTW, who is posting as the demons?
