WitchHazel had suggested this earlier, so I think im going to have Sam the son of Nemesis and legacy of Hecate. Just adding in that one little power I said awhile back to relate to Hecate - more for himself than for anyone else (:

[Takara]

I'll probably just post for Ags and post for the others later, I have to leave soonish so we'll see

[Kveykva]

Physical Description
Alex is 5'8", stocky, and constantly working out to maintain muscle mass that he worked really hard to build. His skin doesn't freckle, it tans, and he's always several shades darker in summer. He has dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair that doesn't seem to lighten from the sun. His teeth are perfect, thanks to braces, and he's never seen without eyeliner, foundation, and usually mascara. His hair is in an uppercut.
He usually wears basic tank tops (to show off his muscles) and a black leather jacket, has a bit of a greaser aesthetic going on.

Personality & Background
Alex is outgoing, possibly to the annoyance of those around him. He can also be very pushy, as he wants everyone to "be their best selves". Will probably offer to give you a make over, because he likes doing them for fun.
As one of 7, he has an attention issue and will do just about anything for the drama. He always has the best gossip, and is happy to both spread it, and be part of it. At home, he's usually a touch more subdued in his style, but at camp he goes all out. He's one of those guys that has a friend group mostly containing girls, and suspiciously few male friends... I wonder why...

Likes: Aesthetics, attention, being in groups, caffeine (lowkey addicted to Starbucks), working out, tattoos,

Dislikes: Combat (not that he's bad at it, just not his preferred pasttime), being ignored, the dark, junk food (makes an exception for Starbucks/sweet caffeinated drinks-not soda), spiders

Fatal flaw: Would do just about anything for the attention. Doesn't think before he acts

Background: Alex is the 4th of 7 kids, and has a very boisterious home life. While his parents love him, he doesn't usually have their full attention, and has often felt letdown when they called "Jacob, no- Meri- Jo- argh!" Instead of using his actual name. He was discovered by a satyr and had an overall uneventful transfer to Camp Half-Blood, however he has started noticing more monsters during his off season. They scare him, but he wants to be there for his sister to prove to her that it's not all in her head, and to keep her safe.

Personal Relationships
Has a good relationship with his dad, step-mom and siblings
^Is closest with his little sister, Emma, who thinks that camp is fascinating and always begs him for stories. Basically worships her big brother, and can see through the mist, causing Alex to be extra protective of her.

Ophelia Rogers- As a "joke," he used his charmspeak to make her smile when she was first claimed and miserable. Turns out that it's pretty scary to be chased around camp by a knifd wielding girl who won't stop smiling...He will not be trying that again, and they have a pretty testy relationship, though he doesn't seem to mention when she takes his make-up/supplies, and even leaves them in easy access to her....

Mirabelle- respects, to a degree, because she truly looks the part of Aphrodite head counselor (and probably because she's admonished him for his acrions on multiple occasions, the girl is fierce!). As for her part, I don't see a world in which she could say the same of him, thought his brash actions can be amusing at times.

Please pm me if you want to have established relations!

Also @ OutFoxed, Kestrel- I'm gonna throw Izzy and Hank at Ben and Lu because the forge seems like a resonable place for a doggo to get warm... She probably snuck in at some point and is just chilling and getting warm now...
