SYOC: The reboot. The romans are the praetors.
Name (include middle): Margoret Emmeline De Ruiter; she goes by 'Margo'.
Godly parent (Please no Big Three or Maidens like Artemis and Hestia but Athena is okay[however they can be blessed by maidens): Venus
Greek or Roman: Roman
Age:17
Appearance (clothes and your face and stuff like that): Long, beachy white blonde bone-white waves that is an ombred to a dark ash blonde, bright almond cat-like green eyes framed with stubby lashes, pale porcelain skin, 5'8, long limbed and gangly body, tall and ribbon slim but with not much chest, pink glossy cupid lips and long legs. When she's not at school, her clothing style is sophisticated, glamorous, regal with a touch of a seductive minimalism. She's often wearing classic, Audrey Hepburn-inspired designer clothes. Her favourite colours to wear are regal purple, rich navy blue, bold forest green and blood Crimson red. Patterns: polka dots, nautical stripes, window panes. Simple but not flashy like floral, lace or cheetah. She's very into tailored pieces in an eye-catching colour, military jackets or trench coats with buttons, peplum tops in muted tones of grey, black, white or beige, fitted skirts in either tweed or knit, silk trousers. Dresses for her are brands like Ellie Saab or Alexander McQuinn. She likes contemporary dresses: cutouts in a singular colour, long and form fitting or symmetrical short dresses. She's more into the cut and colour of the dress rather than the embroidery. She would wear pumps and 500 dollars boots for shoes. For camp, she tends to dresses down a little. She dresses in purple tank tops, expensive Levi jeans with heels and minimal jewellery. However her armor is less flashy. She has a normal pair of armor and a thick purple mesh suit under her armor that doesn't show anything but is non thermal.
However, last year, she use to look VERY different. She use to be that fat girl in Roman camp, told to stand there by the sides in War Games because of her hefty weight. She use to dress in baggy purple shirts or baggy sweaters with funny slogans, wide leggings and uggs. She use to weigh over 200 hundred pounds.
Height: 5'8
Preferred weapon: Whip and knife. She would use the whip to create slashes or curl around the neck, or trapped it by it's arm. Once her victim is set inside the whip she'll use a knife to stab it.
Personal weapon (example Percy's Riptide): She has a whip is made from gold electrum wire, gifted from her mother on her sixteenth birthday for 'losing weight'. She tends to wear the whip around her wrist, kind of like a bracelet, just right in her grip so she can strike immediately at an emergency. Also, she tends to lace the whip with a paralysis so it would be easier to disarm her enemies. She also has a dagger- her first dagger- that was given to her by her cohort members when she first came and she needed a weapon for War Games.
If you have a personal weapon does it have a disguise?: After she used the whip, it would curl around her wrist and transformed into a long, silver and gold bracelet. The knife would be tucked inside her boot.
Magical item (example Annabeth's invisibility cap): Her whip.
Romance or secret crushes (Boyfriend or Girlfriend if so is he or she demigod or mortal. Choose to fill out another in same review or PM or just give me an example of them): Well, when she was fat, she used to have many crushes on the boys around her cohort, y'know, just boys she thought was cute. But of course, since she was fat, she didn't have any of those crushes returned. However, she use to hung out with this boy named Casey, who was like a 'loser' just like her. He was a son of Mercury and he tends to always make her laugh, making her feel better when the other people at camp teased her for her weight. Little did she know, he actually had a crush on her. But when she lost all the weight, she dropped him as a friend, thus breaking his heart, because he wasn't 'cool' enough for her newfound popularity.
Special powers (Nothing too OP): She could speak French, like all Venus kids, and have enhanced beauty. After she lost weight, she received Aphrodite's blessing with her whip. Her eyes become more slanted, her nose becomes straighter and she has poutier lips.
Personality: Before she lost weight, she used to be really sweety and shy girl, who was bullied for being overweight in camp. However, after she got skinny, she became basically what everything anybody hate about rich people distilled into one 95-pound, doe-eyed, bonmot-tossing, label-whoring package of girly evil. At first, she's pretty much Mini Regina George. She will come off as a defensive mean girl who has no regards of anybody's feelings. She appears confident, beautiful, outspoken, an overachiever, a total diva, gossipy, bitchy, vain, selfish and utterly entitled, in control of everybody and everything. She bosses people around, she is a force to be reckoned with. She's extremely driven to maintain her Queen Bee status as praetor, her size 2 figure, her top straight As and her ambition can lead her to embrace a haughty and scheming side. She seldom leaves success to chance, or to her own talents, and usually works to sabotage her competition. Typically, Margo finds rivals in most females and decimates them by ruining them socially. But as time progresses, you'll learn she's extremely insecure, though confident, and does everything out of fear. She is afraid of losing her popularity, so she constantly throw parties, she's mean to everybody and get wasted. She is afraid of losing her friends, so she becomes mean to the "losers" to keep them laughing (, she rations her food and watches her weight like a hawk because of body images. Margo has high expectations in everything, especially herself. She wants the perfect life in which she has a beautiful boyfriend, tons of people jealous of her, perfect friends- really, perfect everything. She is someone who must always be on top and always have a say in everything. As a result of her fear and insecurity, she rarely trust anybody despite having an inner circle of 'friends'. She's also extremely OCD; she can be a neurotic control freak when it comes to getting her plans in action, and if they're not done right, she tends to go to extra freak-out mode. However, despite her manipulative and often ruthless, Queen-bitch behavior, she is revealed to have a sensitive and loving nature as is side is revealed time and time again especially when she must come to the defense of someone she cares about.
Strengths: Though she tends to exclude people out of her 'clique', the minute you're in she has a way of making you feel like you're the only one in the world. She's a natural leader, though sometimes oppresive and mean, but has a way of command. She can be fun at times, a little wild, a little crazy, girly. She has a good fashion sense and it's actually talented with writing. Swords and fighting isn't her strong suit but when it comes to making people look at her, she's good at it.
Weaknesses: She's manipulative, mean, nasty, b***, cold, ruthless, insecure, snobby and kind of a bully. She has a history of bullimia. She's also extremely hard to deal with as she can be overbearing (in a melodramatic diva way) and she sucks at sport. She's not good with swords and prefer long-range which is why she uses her whip. How she got praetor was rising to the top from being good in battle.
Fears: Anything that crawls. Complex carbs and the dark.
Flaws (Must fill out): Insecurity. Like she has major issues of feeling good in her old skin, which is why she's such a diva and perfectionist when it comes to the way she dresses and the 'right body'. Her issues can be spawned from the fact that she use to be bullied for her weight and shunned from it.
Disorder: ADHD. Bullimia and anorexia (will explain in the backstory).
Backstory: Margo was born in the Netherlands, more specifically Amsterdam to her vagabond of her father. Her father's name is Wilhelm, a man who's constantly drifting from place to place, making money working odd jobs. He used to bring her around places, from Singapore to France to Dubai.
Name (include middle): Darren "Dare" Hendricks
Godly parent: Aphrodite
Greek or Roman: Greek
Age: 19
Appearance (clothes and your face and stuff like that): Darren has a strong jawline, medium build, and is tall for his age. He has honey-blonde hair, which is combed to the side. Though his eyesight isn't that bad, he wears a pair of squarish black-framed glasses, which gives him a sharp look. He has coffee brown eyes, and in CHB, he is considered sexy and 'drool worthy'. Here's a face claim so you can picture him better! Just google "Eggsy Unwin" (If you were wondering, he's based on the movie character in Kingsman!)
Height: 6'2
Preferred weapon: A sword.
Personal weapon (example Percy's Riptide):His pendant is a magical item that can turn into a broadsword when he yanks it out. When he is not using it, it magically turns back into the pendant around his neck. He wears the pendant all the time. The only way to disarm him is to remove the pendant and the chain around his neck. So though the pendant will return to the chain, the chain is not with him.
If you have a personal weapon does it have a disguise?: A small, sharp knife that can be slid into his belt.
Magical item (example Annabeth's invisibility cap): None. Unless you count that pendant under personal weapon.
Romance or secret crushes (Boyfriend or Girlfriend if so is he or she demigod or mortal. Choose to fill out another in same review or PM or just give me an example of them): He is single, although many girls have asked him out. He feels that most of these girls just like him because of his good looks, so he turned them down. He'd like someone who loves his personality.
Special powers (Nothing too OP): Charmspeak. It works ten time better if his opponent is a girl. Also, if he wishes to, his appearance can shift a little to what the victim desire's to see, in terms of physical appearance.
Personality: He is an outgoing guy, and is popular at camp. Being the easy going kind of person, he makes friends fast, and is very sociable. He is a loyal and soft person, who will do anything to protect his friends. He usually tries the diplomatic approach instead of starting a fight. But if fighting is inevitable, he'd give all he's got to defend. He tends to swear quite a lot, as his father used to swear almost all the time. He is sly, and somewhat sneaky, and has a talent for sleight of hand. Although he knows that he has the good looks, he doesn't go out of the way to get attention. He used to be bullied by campers who said he was a 'good for nothing pretty boy', but instead of getting offended, he laughs along with them, and eventually made friends with them.
Strengths:
1) Easy going - He gets along with almost anyone at camp, and they enjoy his company because of his bubbly, cheerful personality.
2) Good looks - He's suave features can be used to manipulate others into doing what he wants. Together with his charmspeak, people find it hard to turn down his requests.
3) Loyalty - Darren is extremely loyal to anyone whom he feels is truthful and good. Even if he's just met them for a day, he may go out of the way to ensure that that person is safe. He hates to see his friends in trouble because of him. And if he is asked to keep a secret, he'd keep it till his grave.
Weaknesses:
1) Cocky - Sometimes that cheeky remark at a wrong time can turn off people. Though he usually knows when to stop, there are times when he gets frustrated, and pushes on with it.
2) Pride - He thinks that he can get away with anything because of his charmspeak and manipulation.
3) Rejection - For many years at camp, he always had many friends. So he's afraid that one day they'd leave him, and he'll be alone.
4) Soft heart - Although children of Aphrodite are said to have a heart of a stone, he is one who does not like to make people upset. If he has to make a decision between choosing his friends or himself, he'd end up choosing them.
Fears: Rejection from his friends, and watching his friends in pain.
Flaws (Must fill out): Failure. He is afraid of doing a mistake that will cause others do die for him. When that happens he's grief will take over and he starts to turn to self harm.
Disorder (Dyslexia, ADHD stuff like that): Both.
Backstory: Darren was born to a wealthy family. His father was a fashion designer, and earned alot of money. Aphrodite visited his shop one day, and they got to know each other, and eventually got married. But Aphrodite introduced herself as Apple, so Darren's father had no idea she was a goddess. That night when Darren was born, Aphrodite disappeared, and Darren was left with his father. Although his father was upset and disappointed, he took care of Darren. No monsters came for Darren until he was 13. That day, Darren and his father were in the living room watching TV, and the monster just pounced at them. Darren's father instinctively tried to shield him, and he died instantly. In shock and grief, Darren just yelled at the monster to go. He didn't know that in that moment, the amount of force he used in his voice was all charmspeak, so the monster left obediently. Shortly, afterwards, Aphrodite appeared in his house, and told him about his past and brought led him to camp. Up to this day, he has a rocky relationship with Aphrodite, as he blames her for his father's death. He thinks that if she had told his father he was a demigod, he'd be sent to camp sooner, and the monster wouldnt have killed his father.
If they die do you want them to, and how will they die?: I'd rather he don't die, but if you insist, I'd like it to be something heroic, to prove that sons of Aphrodite are not just pretty boys. Maybe he could die choosing between himself and a close friend, and he chose to give himself up in place of his friend?
When and where were they taken to camp?: He was taken to camp Half-Blood when he was 13.
I really do hope you like my OC, and accept him in your SYOT.

Age: 15
Appearance (clothes and your face and stuff like that): Sophia has wavy, dark brown hair all the way to her elbows. She usually puts her hair into a french braid because it's so messy. Sophia also has dark brown eyes to match her hair and long eyelashes. She has been told on numerous occasions that she has a baby face since it's round and doesn't have many bone structure to it. She also has tan skin from her Puerto Rican father. Considerably tall, compared to the teens her age. Like most stereotypical Aphrodite children, she wears the girly and cutesy clothes that are currently in style.

To make it look normal there are other charm and even a purple ribbon intertwined with it.

Magical item (example Annabeth's invisibility cap): Nope
Romance or secret crushes (Boyfriend or Girlfriend if so is he or she a demigod or mortal. Choose to fill out another in same review or PM or just give an example): Nope, suprisingly, she has never dated. Her mom is so proud
Special Powers: Just like her mother, she can change her appearance drastically to suit ones taste. Except it doesn't work for girls. However, just like shadow traveling, it tires her a bit and she can only due it for so long. 3 hours at the most. Most people don't know about this power.
Personality: Sophia is a very good at hiding her true personality.. To most people she seems like a sweet girl who is super shy and is intelligent. In reality it is not like that, she has to other faces that she shows to two other kinds of groups. To her friends she is the sweet and intelligent daughter of Aphrodite who is beautiful and kind. To her family and enemies she is very sarcastic and rude mouth, but has no common sense. The real her is when she is around her family, and when she accidentally slips in front of enemies. She feels she must live up to the expectations of being the daughter of love and beauty. That is one of the many flaws about her. However, she is super girly and does care about looks, especially of others.

Flaws (Must fill out): One of her biggest flaws is trying to appease others. Other flaws are that of deceit and a bit hotheaded

Sophia and her father than moved from Puerto Rico to California. About a year later her younger sister, Catherine was born. Sophia lived the special life of high end brands and specially made items. Which all came crashing down when her step-mothers's family company was shut down due to special reasons. There was still a large amount of money left but they had to downsize from their current lifestyle and then it happened as soon as everything became good.
If they die do you want them to, and how will they die?: It's really up to you and what goes with your story line, but if she were to die I would want her to die saving a friend
When and where were they taken to camp?: After loosing their previous lifestyle, they moved to Columbia, South Carolina and bought a small three bedroom house. They had gotten their lives back on track. By this time, Sophia's 10 birthday was about to come around. That's when her father got the message. A message that told him who Sophia was and what she needed to do to be safe. So at the age of nine, Sophia started attending camp. She never tells people how she came to be here because other demigod's stories make her life seem uneventful. She doesn't want that.

Name (include middle): Emmet Greyson Blake
Godly parent (Please no Big Three or Maidens like Artemis and Hestia but Athena is okay[however they can be blessed by maidens): Hephaestus
Greek or Roman: Greek
Age: 14
Appearance (clothes and your face and stuff like that): Emmet has brown combed hair with a bit of waves going through it but when he is on the quest he has it uncombed. He has no freckles and if any girls knew him they would probably think he was adorable. He has eyebrows that make him look mad but not, a normal nose I guess, and a mouth that is always in a weird kind of worried face like there's an oncoming hurricane.
Height: 5'5''
Preferred weapon: Although he prefers not, a sword.
Personal weapon (example Percy's Riptide): As mentioned above just a plain bronze sword with a leather grip.
If you have a personal weapon does it have a disguise?: No
Magical item (example Annabeth's invisibility cap): No (Not yet)
Romance or secret crushes (Boyfriend or Girlfriend if so is he or she demigod or mortal. Choose to fill out another in same review or PM or just give me an example of them): Sophia mentioned above (He made the bracelet and she kind of knows him among no one else)
Special powers (Nothing too OP): None
Personality:An ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average camper who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world in the quest and the prophecy. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. He is not a fan of adventure or danger either (similar to Bilbo Baggins), both of which give him reason for "freaking out". He hates large crowds and always tries to gain the campers attention but fails and is not known. Sophia is his only acquaintance. He loves to follow instructions so he has a plan and needs rules to function.
Strengths: When he has rules, instructions, or he has a leader. Because otherwise he literally can't function.
Weaknesses: When it's the opposite of everything above^^
Fears: Same as weaknesses including but not limited to, spiders, ghosts, monsters, sunburns, water, claustrophobia, the dark, bats, evil stuff, winging it, racoon's, pretty much almost any phobia out there, also scared of being scared which makes him scared and it's just a vicious cycle.
Flaws (Must fill out): Sucks at everything but living, breathing, and sleeping. He's not even a good builder because he is afraid of getting hurt. He has no friends but one (kind of).
Disorder (Dyslexia, ADHD stuff like that). dyslexia, ADHD, OCD, ADD
Backstory: Emmet has been working most of his life helping his mother on the construction site as a worker in the city of Providence He longs to be popular, but his campmates hardly notice he's there. He lives life by the book-literally-and builds things only from the instructions. Because of this, however, he is mostly boring and uncreative, except for at some moment of inspiration, like his inventing the battle dispenser which he scrapped and Chiron found and installed but Mr. D took credit for.
If they die do you want them to, and how will they die?: Spoilers.
When and where were they taken to camp?:He was taken to camp when he was thirteen when an empousa horde attacked and Emmet defeated them by dropping a whole floor of a building on them from hitting support beams. Then afterwards he promptly had a panic attack. Afterwards his mother found him passed out and took him to camp. Actually the reason he is afraid of everything was because his hard hat fell off when he passed out and an iron bar fell on his head giving him severe mental trauma and causing him to develop a second personality that took over and gave him all his phobias. He was much more adventurous before.
Well there and the reason I said twelve was because side characters. See you soon.
