(will use he/him in character sheet for simplicity)
Age: 16
Birthday: April 1st

Camp Information
Weapon(s):
-A long Thyrsus. It's just a pinecone on a stick, and about as useful. Getting hit over the head with a pinecone isn't exactly fun, but hey, if it works, it works. It reverts into and appears to mortals as a paintbrush which is usually left in the cabin, because pinecone on a stick.
-A pair of twin, curved silver daggers. They have very fancy handles, decorated with bright green grapevines and tiny little amethysts embedded in clusters like grapes. These are his favorite weapons and are always with him. They turn into identical thin silver bangles when not in use. They look like tweezers to mortals.
-A large mask-shaped shield. The design itself is very simple, just a theater mask with leopard-like details painted on. It turns into leopard-print sunglasses when not in use.
Godly Parent: Dionysus
Claimed?: Yep
Cabin: Dionysus Cabin
Powers:
-He can cause small grapevines to grow at his enemies feet or around him. He still needs to work on controlling the vines and causing them to disappear
-Can give people nearby him migraines, possibly even madness, if he is put in an extremely stressful/catastrophic situation. The madness is still unknown due to Blake not having experienced a stressful enough situation yet.
-Can make stunning masks and theater set pieces wicked fast
-Can very minorly shift his appearance. Legit only uses it when shifting between male/female presenting
Number of Beads on Necklace: 5

Physical Description
Blake is a very skinny, 5'11 ft tall kid with pointed, almost elfish features. His curly pixie cut hair is permanently tufted up and all over the place. He often adds slight purple highlights to his hair, although it fades by the time he remembers to re-apply the hair dye. Blake has large, slightly sunken-looking pale yellow-ish green eyes, kinda like those green grapes.
He only has a small scar on his lower back from a monster. He honestly doesn't remember what it was. He doesn't have any permanent tattoos, but he often gets those you have to apply water for the ink to stick. He'll really go for anything, like little plants or random inspirational quotes.

Blake usually wears hoodies and jeans. His favorite hoodie is a marbled one with the colors of grapes (dark red, reddish, green, etc) because he's all about that aesthetic. Jeans are Jeans, so that's cool too. He also has a thing for ruffled shirts. He just likes how dramatic they are.
He doesn't really know much about shoes, so he just goes around with whatever he finds. Usually running shoes, but flats are a favorite.
One of his most precious possessions are a pair of grape shaped earrings (of course) that have either blue or pink grapes. They were a gift from a buddy in the Hephaestus cabin so he could more easily represent his gender at the time.
He also likes nail polish and can do pretty cool designs.

Personality & Background
Blake is a very laid-back and friendly guy. He's pretty truthful, although he can lie decently. He can be pretty dramatic and theatrical, but is always up for a good discussion with his fellow campers. He can be kind of independent though, preferring to work by himself rather than in a group. He's prone to mood swings and sometimes retreats into an antisocial shell, but on good days, he'll be out and about with his buddies. He has a soft spot for satyrs and enjoys chatting with them. He's very supportive of fellow LGBTQ+ campers and encourages them to love freely. He's very big on self love and acceptance.
He can be a bit chaotic sometimes. He's not really a rulebreaker, but he'll occasionally bend them if he believes it's for a good cause. But he usually just goes with the flow.
Fears rats and small rodents in general, along with natural disasters.

Blake's mom wasn't too special. She just ran a small vineyard in Napa from her house in the suburbs of New York. She never really discussed how she met Dionysus, so Blake honestly doesn't know how.
So Blake lived with his mother for eleven years and had a pretty good time. He usually had to stay with sitters due to his mom having to go out to deal with vineyard stuff. Eventually, she sold the vineyard, so they had more time together. But eventually a satyr came to pick him up and brought him to Camp Half Blood. Dionysus just pointed at him and just said 'Mine'.
So uh, yeah. Pretty chill life.

Personal Relationships
Mom:
Positive
"She's cool."

Dionysus/Father:
Neutral
"He's fine. It's not like he's a bad father or anything."

Anything Else
-He has a pet leopard gecko named Rosette who he loves to death

[takara]

@sammy,- the potential for a Orin-Aggy relationship... She's all "ooo, authority", but did she learn a lesson about from today's near death experience? The Auggie loyalty piece...this one's going to be a lot of fun!

[sammy,]

@takara
could definitely be huge!

i had a bit of a struggle figuring out how to describe the reaper since I made it, you know, indescribable. The best frame of reference I can give is like, you know when you're laying in bed and there's a pile of clothes on a chair? And it's dark so you can't make out more than general shapes so your imagination starts filling in the blanks? It's like that.

I'm also amused by Vivienne's bewilderment at the fact this guy, a supposed god her mother thinks highly of, is working two jobs in small town pennsylvania

[sammy,]

the only mental image i have of reapers is the blue öyster cult cover art for (don’t fear) the reaper which is a very cliché take on them ashahah
