HEY! So im writing this new story, and I just thought I'd tell you about some of the OC's that I've created (:
Carmen Dicaprio: she's a daughter of Hephaestus, and not afraid to show it. She's originally from Ohio, but she got dropped off at camp when she was twelve (one year after TLO). She has a mom and a step-dad, and they treat her well enough. She doesn't have any half siblings that aren't demigods. She has medium length wavy brown hair and light hazel eyes like her mothers. She stands at 5'8 and is 14 ½. She gets along well with her cabin mates, and most of the other campers around camp with a few exceptions. Though she puts up a 'nice front' in front of Simon Carmichael, she really thinks he's kind of annoying. It's not that she has anything against the Apollo cabin; it's just that she feels like their personalities are too 'sunny' for her. She loves sports, but mostly running track and field. She's really smart, so at first when she got to camp they thought she might have been an Athena kid, but she knew she was a Hephaestus kid before she was claimed because her mother had told her. Unlike her siblings, she isn't very handy with her hands. She has the brilliance of coming up with new machines and weapons, but she has trouble actually making things, which is why whenever she completes a successful project everyone is generally proud of her. Especially Leo. She has a semi-close relationship with Leo, because they both share the ability to create fire (though Carmen's ability is far less powerful then Leo's). She is generally a happy person, but shy when it comes to talking about girly things. She's more like a tomboy, like the rest of her half sisters. Carmen is an all around general fighter, though her strengths have proven in armed close combat and unarmed close combat.
Simon Carmichael: he is a son of Apollo who loves to talk. He stands at a fair height at 5'11 for a fourteen year old, and has light brown hair and eyes to match. He looks generally nothing like his Apollo siblings, because back when he was conceived, Apollo had been trying out the 'brunette' type, and his genes happened to carry down to Simon. Simon obviously loves music, and plays the drums. He's had a major crush on Carmen ever since she accidentally walked into Will Solace at camp fire one night, and she was so embarrassed to talk to him that she threw up. He was told by Will to escort her to the infirmary so she could lie down. Like most of the Apollo kids, he can't fight with a sword, but prefers a bow and arrow. And if he can't have a bow and arrow, he likes to have some hunting knives strapped to his shins or his forearms, ready to use in dangerous situations. He's a very talented healer, so he's always called upon in the middle of a lesson to aid someone who's had an injury, and even though sometimes he likes being pulled out of a class, he gets mad because he feels like everybody else is getting a step up on him. Simon is normally a very curious, preppy person to be around like most of his siblings, but when he talks to people he doesn't know all that well, he tends to back off and see what they're like before fully exposing himself.
Benjamin Meier: Ben is a magician that has come all the way from Florida to train with Carter and Sadie, and like everyone else; he found the amulet in his gym locker at school. Ben was a competitive swimmer before he learned his heritage, and told his mom that he had been accepted to a boarding school over in Brooklyn for a swimming scholarship. Ben stands around 6 foot, with curly dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, and looks similar to a Hermes kid. He's chosen to follow the path of Horus along with Carter, so they are close. He likes Sadie, but he finds that she can be a tad annoying when she complains about something in America, and how it's not like back in England. He really likes Walt though, because he can calm Sadie down by talking to her, and then it saves them a bunch of time when it comes to cleaning up the mess of her rampages. Over all, Ben likes training as a magician at Brooklyn house, and can't imagine what his life would be like if he was still at home. He's gone on a few missions with Walt, Sadie, and Carter to retrieve artefacts from Museums around the New York area. He loves his new life, but he misses swimming more then anything because his previous coach had though that he might've had a chance to really pursue an elite swimming career, though he wouldn't change a thing.
SO! Those are some of the OC's in this new story, and yes, I'm aware that it should be classified as a crossover, but I decided to just put it under the Percy Jackson category because I feel like it would be more available to anyone who would be interested in reading it. This story will go back and forth between Carmen's and Ben's point of views, and maybe once or twice Jason's or Carter's. Thanks a bunch!
