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.
The charrie sheet:
Name:
Age:
Godly parent:
Personality:
Appearance:
Favorite weapon:
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.

Do we have a Japanese girl? (Unless you count me.)

I slump down on my bunk and listen to music when Adeline comes in and checks her computer. I take off my Beats and look over the bunk bed.
"Whatcha doing?" I ask.
"Nothing much," she replies. "Just checking how many people have checked my new video. Seven thousand so far!"
"Make that seven thousand and one," I say, pulling up her channel on my phone and looking at the newest video. "I love the braid. I'll use it for myself later."
"Thanks! And I already have other ideas for an inverted braid of some sort."
"Cool," I reply.
I hop down and rumage through my make up bag in my drawer when I realize I can't find my brown eyeliner.
"Adeline, did you see brown eyeliner around anywhere?" I ask, still rumaging through my bag.
"Uh...I don't think so. Wait, maybe. What brand?"
"Almay," I reply.
"Yeah," she says.
I turn to her and she has it in her hand.
"I found it by Tessa's bunk."
I sigh and take it from her. "Theif."
"Maybe it is Tessa," she shrugs. "Drew couldn't find her mascara this morning, and she had a panic attack."
"Oh I heard," I reply.
I reapply my makeup and then go back onto my bunk bed and continue to listen to music.
"Ten minutes to lunch," I mutter.

Miladina~
Swoosh. An arrow whizzes past my ear as I whirl to dodge it, subtly moving closer to my attacker. Two more follow and I drop to the ground rolling to one side. I crouch, watching the girl with eyes to mirror mine --- a bright, very unusual turquoise --- warily, keeping alert for any signs of her next move. We are both still, my opponent's golden curls falling into her young face whilst my paler hair stays back in a simple braid. There. A twitch of movement in her left shoulder. An untrained eye would never notice such a thing. Or if they did, would not think anything of it. Quicker than an adder, the girl lashes out with her left hand, a short sword glinting in the sunlight, but I'm already moving, flying towards her now exposed right side, my own dagger out. She drops and rolls, ditching her sword, but somehow keeping her bow tucked tightly into her side. I tuck into a flying roll, my shoulder jarred in the impact as I try to avoid the arrow that she lets fly from her sprawled position on the ground. I hiss as the skin of my bare shoulder tears against the rough ground.
"Got y-" the bow girl says triumphantly, now standing, but it's cut off by a grunt as I launch myself at her, slightly off-balance myself as my shoulder barks in pain.
Before she can even blink, I've whipped another dagger out of a concealed sheath at my ankle and am holding it poised above her heart.
From somewhere behind us, someone begins a clapping slowly, as if amused.
Panting, I back up from the girl, my friend, and give her a grin. She returns it, laughing breathily.
"Thanks for helping me train," I say, offering a hand to help my friend, Eliza, up.
"No problem. I guess it's kind of good for me, too. Despite how much I dislike fighting, there's always gonna be evil guys around to kill, so..." she replies.
"I honestly don't understand how you're not Apollo. You are amazing with a bow!" the cabin leader for Apollo says from behind us. Eliza blushes, pleased with the praise.
"Thanks," she says quietly.
"You, on the other hand..." he says, turning to me.
I sigh, "Yes, I know. 'A bow is your greatest ally, and music your greatest gift'. No need to remind me how much I suck at archery."
The cabin leader laughs and says, "Hey, you don't suck. You're just not on Apollo level. Yet. I know you grew up training in close combat, but the distance stuff will make you a billion times better, too. Would you like a personal training session?"
Hmm... I contemplate the offer for a heartbeat, then respond with, "That would be great, thanks, _______(I don't know who to put for the Apollo cabin leader, so...). How about tomorrow at dawn?"
"Why must you drag me out of bed before first light?" _____ groans playfully, but we both know that we Apollo kids love seeing the sun rise. After all, our father is the sun's keeper.
"Ha ha, very funny. I'll see you at the the target range tomorrow morning, then?"
"Of course. But I expect you to come to practice today before dinner, too."
"Yeah, whatever. See you around," I say, ending the conversation.
When we walk out of hearing range of _____, Eliza says, "How can you be so comfortable with everyone here? You've only arrived at camp a couple of weeks ago."
I feel my face fall. I hate lying to people about my happiness, but... "I have to put on a brave face. There's no other way to survive."
Eliza seems to sense my sudden desire to be alone as she tells me, "I'll see you at dinner, alright? I've got Athena kid stuff to do."
"Of course. Thanks again for the mock-fight. It was fun,"
"Sure thing. What are demigod friends for?" she says.
We laugh for a moment, then part ways. I immediately head for the forest, walking down a familiar path.

I hope I didn't control your charrie too much, ~Mystery~! Let me know if this is okay with you.

Oh, whoops! I didn't see that you had already posted. Let's just say this took place the next day, I guess?

I played with my bow absentmindedly, twanging the string against my calloused fingers. I wasn't sure why I'd brought the bow out here, actually, since I was really just watching two girls practice fighting.
They finished, my half-sister ending victorious. I thought of clapping but decided it would look sarcastic and changed my mind. I had been making an effort to avoid sarcasm since I'd realized how much Jasper hated it. I didn't exactly have a crush on Jasper (or at least not that I was willing to admit) but he was cute and nice, and my tendency was to pay attention to people who were cute and nice.
Will Solace (can we say he's the head of Apollo?) was talking to my half-sister. I couldn't quite remember her name... maybe it started with an M?
My phone dinged. I pulled it out of my pocket and glanced at it. Why was I subscribed to YouTube fashion tutorials? I'd never even seen a tube of lipstick in my life! Did lipstick even come in tubes?
"Adeline Chen," I grumbled. "Aphrodite, of course." I turned off notifications and put my phone away. It was dinnertime.

Can Grace and Jaque be freinds? Please?
Jaque~
Why did I sign up for pegasus riding? "It'll be fine!" they said. "You won't get bruatally injured!" they said. This was a bad idea. The nymph who was instructing me yells as my pegasus runs away. "Hold on! Just remember to HOLD ON!" I dangle from the saddle as my Pegasus, Huckleberry, takes to the sky. Then I start to slip. As Huckle beats his wings, I realize that I'm slipping from the saddle. Slipping off the saddle. Uh oh. I ggrip with all my might, but it's no use. I guess Pegasi don't like the French after all. Then Huckle gives an extra hard beat. Thenthere's no Huckle below me. Sacre bleu!
I fall to towards ground. I would like to say that I stayed quiet, but the people in New Jersy could probably hear me screaming. The I hit the ground. I hear a sickening crack, and then everything turns black. Grace is gonna be so mad.

~Eliza
I head back to the cabin, after walking away from Mila. She's a good fighter considering she just got here.
As I head back, however, some counsler comes up to me.
"Eliza Lorux?" she asks.
"Yeah," I reply. "That's me. Can I help you?"
"Yes," she responds. "You can follow me to the Zeus cabin."
I take a hesitant step but follow her shortly after.
We finally arrive to Cabin 1, the special kid's cabin, Zeus's cabin.
"Why are we here?" I ask her suddenly. I need to go back to bow and arrow practicing. "Can I leave now?"
"Whoa Speedy," she replies. "Hear me out. Why don't you put the pieces together? You always knew you weren't an Athena kid, right?"
I think about it, and when I realise what she means, I practically choke. "What are you saying?"
"Suprise!" she exclaims. "I'm Zeyna, the counseler for cabin one. And you're a child of Zeus."
"What? Why all of this now? If anything, I would have been a child of Apollo-what is happening?" I shout.
"We didn't tell you for a couple of reasons," she replies. "But we'll tell you later. For now, it's time you moved in!"
I'm in shock, and I literally can't breathe. So this is all a lie? I am so confused, I don't even know what to feel.
"I-I-"
I can't say anything, so I storm back to cabin six, Athena's cabin, where some people look up at me.
"What's wrong with you?" Tim asks.
"I-I have to- Zeus's cabin."

I sort of forgot about this RP, sorry!
Sophia~
I calmly walk across the grass, back to my cabin. The spear throwing contest went well, with me winning by four points. The woods look beautiful this morning, and I want to write a story about them. Just as I am about to hurry back to my cabin for a pen and a notebook, I see Eliza walking the other way, heading for Zeus's cabin. There haven't been any kids in there since.... I don't know when. I run to catch up.
"Why are you going this way, squirt? Our cabin is that way!" I point vaguely over my shoulder at Cabin 6.
"Well... Sophia, it turns out that I'm not actually an Athena kid after all", says Eliza.
"I'm not surprised", But then, the truth hits me.
"You're a child of Zeus?" I ask in a shocked tone. She nods, and resumes walking towards Cabin 1.
I start striding back to my cabin, again looking at the woods, although this time, not thinking about creative writing. Why am I not surprised that little Eliza belongs in Cabin 1? I wonder. Suddenly, 4 kids emerge from the trees.They are the strangest-looking people I have ever seen, with hair as black as night and navy-blue eyes. The eyes themselves are not the strange part, but the look in them. Malice, terror, anything negative, and as I approach them, a cold shiver runs up my spine.
I run back inside my cabin, speech less with fright

I hope this is all right...

@General Waffelson, sure
~Grace
Being a half-blood is confusing. I'm still not sure which godly parent I have and there are so many to remember. Uh oh.Huckle got away again. I guess I have to get him back.
