HalfGodisms

His mother was a medical doctor who got Apollo’s attention because of her passion for her job. The two fell in love and after a while Alexander came to be, albeit under a different name when he was born. Alex figured out that he wasn’t a girl when he was 14. He has been on testosterone a little over a year as of now. He first got the suspicion that he wasn’t exactly normal when he started noticing that one of his teachers had glowing eyes and teeth that were just a bit too pointy to be human. When he asked his mother about any medical conditions that could explain those symptoms she tried to play it off by telling Alex that he must’ve seen it wrong. This didn’t stop him from noticing odd things about the teacher in question and soon he also started seeing weird things about strangers in the street. He learned the truth about what he was when he saw the teacher with the glowing eyes shift into something he couldn’t explain other than by calling it a monster. It’d been the last day of school for that year and almost all the other students had already left. Alex had forgotten something in one of the classrooms, as luck would have it, this room happened to be the same one as the one in which the monster and a fellow demigod were in. The whole situation got even weirder when another student suddenly came racing in and like some sort of ninja kicked the monster in its face, after which the Satyr dragged the two halfbloods out of school and to safety. The three eventually lost the monster, after which Alex got the brief summary of the fact that the Greek Gods were real and that his dad was one of them. That summer was the first year that he went to Camp Half Blood and strangely enough he felt right at home the moment he stepped foot in the place. Even though he knew that there was no way his mom would’ve approved of him wielding weapons at age 12. He got claimed in his first year after discovering his healing powers when during a particularly intense game of capture the flag, one of his team mates fell and got badly injured. He’d rushed towards them and placed his hands on the wounds to stop the bleeding. A soft glow had appeared around his hands, spreading to the injury and slowly the wound started closing on its own. Alex was even more shocked when Apollo’s sign appeared above his head. For the first years, Alex would only go to camp during the summer but after four years he found himself thinking about going to camp year-round more and more. On top of that, there had been a noticiable increase in monsters trying to eat him, which was a rather unenjoyable fact. This led to him and his mother deciding that it would be good for Alex to stay at camp full-time. This was after the infamous battle of Manhattan, in which the Apollo cabin, and the rest of camp suffered many losses and Alex couldn't see himself being anywhere else than at camp after those events. They'd all been through that together and that battle had changed him, he couldn't really imagine going about his life pretending to be a mortal, pretending that the world as he knew it hadn't almost ended that summer. His mother supported his choice. Alex was 16 at the time and has been living at camp as a year-round camper for two years now, though occasionally he does leave camp to visit his mother and the two try to keep in touch through writing letters.
