The Children of Olympus

by MeganCK

Ten years after the Giant War, the Oracle reveals the next Great Prophecy. A terrifying new enemy is revealed; Nyx. The primordial goddess of night. Riley, Kye, Tyla, Tristin, and Cass must stop her, or risk the downfall of Olympus. But when one is said to betray the group, no one is to be trusted. SYOC OPEN for minor characters. All rights go to Rick Riordan. Rated T just in case.

1. OC list (Finally!)

Alright, here it is! I'm revealing the chosen 5! Now, before you read, just know that I do NOT want any complaining that your OC wasn't in the story. Every last OC was freaking amazing, and I want no one saying "Oh, I think my OC was better than so-and-so!" None of that, please.

Also, I'm putting the forms in, too, because I'm not sure if I'll be able to address everything in the backstory, or I might not be able to touch on the fatal flaws as much. The only part of the forms I'll be leaving out are the parts where I ask you what your character can do in the story. I want all of that to be a surprise.

I'd like to thank you all. I had such a hard time choosing the OCs. It was tough, but I finally chose. It was so much fun reading your OCs, except for that one troll I got yesterday. Whoever that guest was who sent in the Son of Chaos, have fun in Tartarus! Anyway, I regret not being able to use all of them, but then again, there are like 90 of them, so... Yeah. Without further ado, I would like to announce the chosen 5! Ladies and gentlemen, I, We're All Okay, give you the children of Olympus!

Tristin Martzen, son of Eris - submitted by TinyRules

Name: Tristin Finnegan Martzen

Nickname: none

Godly Parent: Eris Goddess of chaos, strife, and discord

Mortal Family: Tristin has just his dad, Killian Martzen, a politician who loves to cause chaos and arguments. Killian itself means strife, which is one of the reasons Eris was attracted to him.

Age: 15

Personality: Much like his mother and father, Tristin likes to cause chaos throughout camp and subtly cause arguments between cabins and campers. He is very sly and cunning. He doesn't outrightly cause discord but rather whispers bad things in your ear, much like the devil and angel arguing both trying to persuade you to do something. He is sarcastic, witty and funny and tends to keep to himself, he is very lazy and always try's to talk his way out of everything. His personality is one of a cat's, maybe even a fox's, if he doesn't have to get his hands dirty he won't. Maybe campers feel conflicted about him because of the fact that he's always stirring up trouble.

History: Tristin was born in Washington on April 17, because his father was a politician he was rather spoiled growing up always getting what he wanted. But his father would always have to go on year long business trips to usually to mess up other politican's. Knowing that he was a demigod and wanted to keep him safe, Killian took Tristin with him and so Tristin grew up with friends and began to close himself off from the world. So when he turned 13 and monsters started turning up, his father deemed it unsafe for him to live with him until he properly learned how to defend himself. So Tristin was shipped off to Long Island Sound and trained at camp for a year and started making friends before returning to Washington and then back to Camp Half Blood for the summer again.

Fears: Tristin is afraid of large crowds, he can't stand the stuffy sweaty heat radiating off of so many bodies, he feels almost claustrophobic around so many people.

Strengths: Tristin is an extremely fast runner, he loves the feel of cool wind on his face and through his hair. He is okay at archery and slightly better than the average swordsman but his real talent is in guns. He is an amazing shot with his sniper rifle, because of his fear of large crowds he'd rather hide and protect himself far away while still helping his friends.

Demigod Abilities: Tristin has a knack for causing trouble he inherited from his mother, he sort of has the mist/charm speak ability but only over chaos and because of the fact that it takes a lot of energy to completely override one's opinion he rarely almost never uses it, it's more of a trump card. You know that devil sitting on shoulder and the angel sitting on the other and they're both trying to make you do the wrong/right thing? Well Tristin is the devil, that small voice in the back of your head making you doubt.

Fatal flaw: self-reliance, because of travelling around so much and getting kicked out of schools, Tristin has learned how to close himself off from the world and how to turn the switch off at making new friends. This self-reliance never needing anyone, might be the end of it because everyone needs someone.

Appearance: Tristin has a longer than average, messy pitch black hair that even has a but of a blue hue to it. He has golden eyes the color of the golden apple that started the Trojan War and has thin white scar going over his left eye where a hellhound claw managed to get him. Tristin is 5'11 with a slim athletic figure with a light tan and average complexion.

Sexual Orientation: he is straight but could be bi, he doesn't really talk to anyone so there wouldn't be a big chance but it's still possible.

Weapon of choice: a L115A3 AWM sniper rifle with a cargo print equipped with a silencer, flashlight and One Shot XG scope system, along with several magazines carrying celestial bronze and imperial gold bullets. He also carries a dagger hidden in his boots.

Special Skills: besides his speed and one shot kills with a rifle that is really pretty much it

Kye West, son of Hermes - submitted by Innoc3ntKitt3n

Name: Kye West

Nickname: None

Godly Parent: Hermes

Mortal Family: Vienna West, Mother. She has light brown hair and blue eyes.

Age: 15 or 16 (Whichever works best)

Personality: Kye is cheeky, naughty and an all round mischief maker. He loves practical jokes and he never takes anything seriously- well, almost never. Kye rarely gets upset or mad, he just laughs it off, but if a mean statement hits too close to home then it hurts him inside.

History: Kye was born in west London, but moved immediately to America. He grew up in Texas, and had a great time, until he was twelve and a hellhound tried to eat him. A satyr saved him and took him to CHB, where he was claimed by Hermes a year later.

Fears: Monkeys and being abandoned

Strengths: Amazing at picking locks, stealing, lying and telling if someone is lying.

Demigod Abilities (nothing OP, please): Picking locks, lying, pranking, running, stealing and can tell if someone is lying

Fatal Flaw: Taking something too far.

Appearance: Kye has light brown, curly hair and bright blue eyes. His skin is tanned from the Texan sun, and he is lean and built like a runner.

Sexual Orientation: straight

Weapon of Choice: Usually uses trick bombs filled with shards o celestial bronze. The bombs are small, and he always has a bunch with him. He also has a sword in case he runs out of bombs.

Riley Kramer, daughter of Ares - submitted by Julyette of Wonder

Name: Riley Kramer

Nickname: None

Godly Parent: Ares

Mortal Family: Debra Kramer, mom, died when she was 3

Leslie Lescardo, 46, Foster Mom, Leslie generally treats Riley like an equal. Leslie has enough to worry about (with the restaurant) and if Riley doesn't give her reason to worry she won't get on her tail about anything. Riley likes this system, she has 5 other foster siblings that Leslie needs to take care of and is happy to take herself off of Leslie's care list. She never looked to Leslie as a role model.

Giacomo Lescardo, Step Foster Dad (Riley thinks he has one of the most ridiculous names in the world. Lescardo sounds like a type of snail.) Gio and Riley get along fine, he just doesn't understand sarcasm or sass.

Malcolm Morgan, Role Model:, after Malcolm saved Riley as a kid he's been the one she's looked up to. Malcolm didn't mind and still doesn't mind. He's the closest thing to real family that she has.

Christian, Lucas, Katherine, Jennifer, and Lily, foster siblings. Riley practically lives at camp and generally stays with Malcolm for a few weeks in the summer.

Age (thirteen at the youngest): 17

Personality: During Riley's early years she was a reckless and impulsive person. She often got herself and others into trouble just for fun. She considered herself a novelty, as she always pulled off the crazy stunts and makes the wise cracks for entertainment. Riley also held very little respect for authority figures, often mouthing off to instructors and earning herself punishments. Riley could also be somewhat violent towards those who antagonized her. She had a reputation on campus for being someone who you didn't want to pick a fight with, especially after she broke a guy's arm when he tried to punch her friend. Basically, Riley isn't all talk; not only can she shoot out hilarious and seething comebacks, but she can pack a mean punch too.

However, as time passed, especially after her 13th birthday, Riley began to become much more grounded and responsible. She thought through her actions much more, in contrast to her old reckless self, shedding some of that old impulsiveness. This was greatly highlighted when she chastised some kids for trying to sneak out, something she most likely would have done in the past. She also showed that she had become much more practical. She found most things to be useless information unless they taught her how to become a better warrior, showing an attitude similar to other "cocky AND dead heroes." She even back when Riley was irrational and reckless, she had a very strong sense of duty and loyalty to her friends and her fighting teachers. As stated by her paeator, she understood her duties better than most twice her age and experience, even looking beyond her smart a** behavior, she was still quite mature in that regard. Like her brother, Riley has very powerful protective instincts. She can't stand to sit back and see people get hurt, always trying to do something to help wherever possible, even if for a complete and total stranger. She is extraordinarily devoted to helping innocent people and protecting those she's fond of. Most often, this protectiveness was directed towards her brother, although she has shown to be protective over others, including her close friends.

Riley can be very sarcastic and sharp tongued at times. She always has a smartass comment ready whenever someone says something antagonistic to her, and always bites back with a witty insult. She doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, and can be extremely stubborn in her opinions. When challenged by an attendent to just become like everyone else at the facility Riley pretended to be crazy around the attendent for a week. She can still be rebellious towards authority figures. Although Riley is not necessarily conceited, she is very aware of the fact that she is beautiful. She is rather proud of her body, which she worked for through literal blood, sweat, and pain. She especially takes pride in her curves which have come in better (and earlier) than most. Also, although she has become much more practical, she can still be somewhat vain at times about her appearance, taking pride in how she looks.

Despite many changes in her personality, Riley remains a social creature. She can be very friendly and warm towards people, and doesn't shy away from meeting new people. She is also rather skilled in social interactions. While her brother attracted people with his calm low key charisma, Riley charms with her witty sense of humour, outspokenness and cheeky behaviour. Unlike her brother, Riley has a certain charisma which makes people flock to her, however the pair are similar in the fact that both their allure doesn't stem from their refinement and intelligence but from their wicked wise cracks and talent with fighting. Riley now still retains that same impulsiveness she had from her early years growing up, but now she's wiser and marginally better at controlling it. She's not better with authority but she treats them like equals, which is a start. She's proud of her notorious reputation for being one of the best fighters that Camp Half-Blood has ever seen.

History: She was brought up in NYC, NY by her her foster mom, who works there as bartender for her restaurant. Her foster Mom (or Leslie as she calls her) never knew of her parentage but always insisted on martial arts lessons in case of any of muggers or weirdos. Riley's heritage was revealed to her when she was attacked by a cyclops when coming home from school at the age of 7. A demigod son of Athena (unknown to her) named Malcolm saved her while he was coming home from his job as curator of the Museum of Natural History. Malcolm told her who he was and what she was. Riley couldn't take this information and ran away. Away from Malcolm. Away from anything bad. She ran to her favorite spot: the Balto statue in Central Park. She cried until a man sat down next to her and put her on his lap. "Hey kiddo, don't cry," he coaxed and boomed "your a daughter of Ares!" she looked up and saw the man in a military outfit. "Are you Ares?" she asks. "Yeah kid. Now I need to tell you something important, so don't forget," he commanded giving a look at the last bit. Riley nodded. "Your greatest weakness will come way by water, so no diving off the deep end." He set her on the bench and handed her a knife. "Good ol' Bell [bellerophon] had this knife, don't break it." She looks at the knife's engravings and suddenly Ares was gone. The school teaching assistant, Phillie, turned out to be a saytr. Once she got to camp she was immediately attacked by a griffin. She saved herself with the knife, but it left a nasty scar on her right shoulderblade. Riley has stayed at camp for the last 9 years and has trained her pants off and doing it sassily.

Fears: water (ever since her dad told her she hasn't even taken a bath. She's forgot how to swim and would probably go into shock if she fell in the ocean. She doesn't like pitch darkness, it scares her to not know what's in front of her (this isn't an impairing phobia, she'd simply be uncomfortable.) she also has a peeve of losing her teeth. She has literally had 5 teeth knocked out at camp, luckily they were kid teeth and the adult teeth grew in but she's still in edge about it. She would be so angry if she had to call in that Aphrodite favor to get her tooth to grow back.

Strengths: she is GOD at hand to hand combat (which is why she chooses to fight with a knife) and is mediocre at swords and archery (they just get in the way.)

Demigod Abilities (nothing OP, please): she has the usual enhanced physical abilities that all ares children get. Riley also inherited one unique gift from her dad and that's war/battle strategy. It explains why she has a more developed personality than "Hulk angry. Hulk smash." Not that she trashes her siblings, they just usually don't appreciate her wit.

Fatal Flaw (not loyalty, if possible): Ambition

Appearance (details): Hair hair is naturally a dark brown but she it dyes every month a different color. Currently her hair is a strawberry blonde with her dark brown roots growing in. She loves her hair and despite loving it being down, she braids it back. Her eyes are blue hazel, but really depends on the lighting what color they look, and they look vaguely greek in shape, partially because of the hooded eyelid and the tilt of her eyes. She's a curvaceously shaped athletic girl with milky white skin, not a trace of tan on it. Her height is averagely 5'4 and her features don't look very Greek (besides her eyes) Riley's face is round and her cheeks are wide and high.

Sexual Orientation (be open-minded, please): heterosexual

Weapon of Choice: Her Bellerophon knife

Special Skills: She's a great picker. At restaurants, gambles, books etc she always does well

Tyla Djuri, daughter of Hecate - submitted by Innoc3ntKitt3n

Name: Tyla Djuri (Pronounced Jury)

Nickname: None

Godly Parent: Hecate

Mortal Family: Her family is big, as will be explained later, but many are not blood related to her. The family she is biologically related to are:
Aia Djuri (Her little sister) age 5, with dark skin and dark brown eyes and black hair.
Luka Djuri, her father, with dark skin and dark brown eyes, and black hair.
Kyla Djuri, her step mother, with dark skin, light brown eyes and brown hair

Age: 15

Personality: Tyla is either calm and relaxed, or bouncy and hyperactive. She is calm when she is thinking, imagining, or doing her magic (her own special magic). She gets excitable and bouncy when she is planning a prank, having fun with her friends, or playing around. She is tough, and used to walking long distances for days without much to eat. Because of this, she generally skips dinner and takes a walk around camp instead.

History: Tyla's father is a part of the Boori tribe, an Indigenous Australian tribe. The Boori tribe have something of a legend- they can do something called Dream-Weaving. This means they can change what other people are dreaming about, visit people in their dreams, and do a bunch of other dream related stuff. Tyla's father visited America when he was 30, and attracted the attention of Hecate when he gave a small kid pleasant dreams instead of a nightmare. When he returned to Australia, he came with a small baby, which his wife wasn't too pleased about, but she let him keep the baby. Tyla was brought up in the ways of the Dreamtime, and the Boori people, learning dream-weaving at a young age. She travelled a lot, and they would scavenge food whenever they could, so Tyla was always a little underweight (but still healthy). When she was twelve, Hecate visited her in a dream, and in winter (because winter in Australia is Summer in America) flew to Camp Half Blood. Tyla never went to school, and so was not able to blow any up. She has never shown anyone in CHB (except Chiron) her Dream-Weaving skills.
At camp, she was soon claimed by Hecate.

Fears: Heights and fire

Strengths: Is a good runner, and strong, and has a good aim with a boomerang and spear.

Demigod Abilities: Can make one hell of a potion from scratch, use the mist, and use Telekinesis (a little bit. It saps her energy.)

Fatal Flaw: Overdoing stuff- she is always in danger of creating a potion that could kill you, or doing something else equally dangerous.

Appearance: Tyla has dark skin, and is average height. She has large, dark brown eyes and medium-brown hair. Her eyes have dark and long lashes, and her hair goes just below the shoulder, and is curly.

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Weapon of Choice: Two boomerangs equipped with a celestial bronze edge that pops out when the boomerang is thrown, and a dagger for emergencies. Both the boomerang and dagger return to her after a few minutes.

Special Skills: Dream-Weaving

Cassandra Coyle, daughter of Athena - submitted by C.J. Seglas

Name: Cassandra Coyle

Nickname: Call her anything besides Cass and she'll kill you.

Godly Parent: Athena

Mortal Family:
- General Anthony Coyle Sr.: A 44-year old famous general who is currently working for the army. He is known to be a womanizer, having impregnated 3 women in separate years, two of which are goddesses and one mortal whom he loves the most. Cassandra and Anthony hate each other.
- Anthony Coyle Jr.: Anthony's favorite son. He is 15-years old and loves to impress his father. Anthony Jr. is the result of Anthony's affair with one of his co-workers, a Russian soldier named Valentina.
- Julius Caesar Coyle: He is the result of Anthony's second affair with the goddess Bellona. He is 10 years old and currently lives in Camp Jupiter.

Age: 16

Personality: Cassandra is mainly level-headed and logical, always prepared and always alert. She can be straightforward and sarcastic, but not in a way which offends people. Though usually calm and collected, Cass can be very dangerous when angry and provoked. She mostly bottles up her feelings and never shares it to others, as Anthony has stuck it in her head that she must never show weakness. Behind a mask of confidence and power is a lonely girl who feels that the weight of the whole world is on her shoulders. Most people look at her for advice and rely on her to take the initiative, but deep inside, Cassandra is afraid of messing up. Although she is highly intelligent and wise, Cassandra admits that she is not always right, which is surprising for an Athenian, since they usually hold on to their pride. Usually she can be seen practicing her fighting skills, or doing anything, really, anything that can make her improve. Otherwise she'd be locked up inside her room, listening to music or weaving. She's quite laid-back and tends to just blend in with the crowd instead of standing in the spotlight like what her mortal brother does. Cassandra can be a bit cold to strangers, but she's never judgmental. She accepts what you are and she'll never think about you negatively unless she has a good reason to. There's also another side of Cassandra that shows her humored personality, although this happens just rarely. When she's bored (really, really BORED), Cassandra might start doing weird things, like fiddling with rocks or drawing smiley faces on the ground. Or she might even think that her treasured pendant is a yoyo!

History: General Anthony Coyle met Athena when he was a 28-year old soldier. The goddess of wisdom and battle strategy must've been attracted to Anthony's strategic thinking. She later fell in love with him and they both did the deed. Anthony expected to have a baby boy, and was greatly disappointed when he realized that his eldest was a girl. He actually planned to kill her off, but decided against it when he saw something in her eyes that reminded him of himself. His anger increased when Athena left to obviously do her duties up in Olympus, without informing him that she was actually a goddess. A year later, he married Valentina Blaskowitz, one of his co-workers and partners. They had a son whom Anthony named after him. When Valentina realized that Anthony had a bastard daughter with another woman, she left him. Anthony, although resenting his daughter, never mistreated her and instead trained her to fight at the early age of 5. Although she proved to be a skilled fighter, Anthony had always looked down on her and loved Anthony Jr. more. When Julius Caesar was born, General Coyle started to have little to no time for his only daughter. Cassandra grew up introverted and developed a liking to weaving, which was the only outlet in which she could express her feelings. She home schooled herself and was frequently seen in the local library reading books of all topics. Cass started realizing that her father is a womanizer when she was 8, and this caused her to resent her father. She ran away when she was nine and arrived at Camp Half-Blood a few months later.

Fears:
- Fire
- Failing
- Messing up
- Darkness (she is very, very, VERY afraid of darkness.)
Becoming blind

Strengths:
- Chess
- A formidable opponent when it comes to sword-fighting.
- Knows a lot about martial arts

Demigod Abilities: Like most children of Athena, Cassandra is highly intelligent and strategic. She can think of a plan in less than a minute and execute it well accordingly. There's nothing special about her, though. She has no awesome superpowers like the other demigods and she's happily fine with it.

Fatal Flaw: Responsibility. Cassandra feels that the weight of the world is on her shoulders and blames herself when casualties happen. She always feels responsible and would be troubled if she doesn't act or do something.

Appearance: Cassandra stands tall at a height of 5'8, but never bothered to check her weight, although it is hinted that she is light-weighted. She has jet-black hair that's tied in a single braid, with a few strands hanging down the sides of her face, making Cassandra habitually blow it off. Her eyes are an intense shade of lightning-blue, which is probably her most outstanding feature if not for her ears. Cassandra's ears are pointy, like an elf's, although not very visible when seen from a few feet. Most people say that she is the female version of her father, and she does not look like Athena at all. She has an oval-shaped face and a strong jawline, with a button nose and upturned eyebrows. Cassandra is skinny, but this is made up by her fast and agile movements. She has a light-brown complexion. Cassandra is quite tomboyish, but that's just natural considering she grew up around boys. Most of the time, she wears the Camp t-shirt over a leather jacket, accompanied by battered jeans and her favorite combat boots. In the winter, she replaces her usual upper outfit with a turtleneck sweater.

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Weapon of Choice: Cassandra has a celestial bronze Xiphos disguised as her Silver Owl Pendant, which was given by Athena to Anthony who in turn left it in the care of his daughter. And in case her sword clangs to the ground far away from her, she could use her fists and legs very well.

Special Skills:
- She has a lot of self-woven tapestries inside her room. So I could say that she is skilled at weaving.
- She can twist a needle around her fingers with little to no effort.
- Cass has an eidetic memory. She can recall anything she has seen, heard, spoken, felt etc. before clearly.

Okay, there they are! Don't pester me for chapters, please. I'm in seventh grade, and you know how that is. Lots of homework, and the hardest tests in the world. Not to mention all my after-school stuff...Ugh. Just so everyone knows, I've deleted the form, and I've taken down all the notes and stuff, to avoid FFN getting mad at me. And just in case you guys are upset that 2 OCs from the same user got in, I didn't even look at usernames when I chose them. I realized after, I swear on the River Styx. *cue thunder* They're both fantastic characters, though, as are all the rest of them. I hope you're satisfied with the OCs. And once again, thank you to all you beautiful people who sent in your characters!

Yours in demigoddishness,

Megan, AKA We're All Okay
