HISTORY . 

born  in  the  city  of  angels ,   colton’s  birth  was  a  headliner .   after all  ,   it’s  not  everyday  that  a  supermodel  gets  knocked  up  by  a  complete  nobody .  kiara  hearst  was  among  the  ranks  of  naomi  campbell  ,   claudia  schiffer  &  kate  moss  when  she  got  pregnant  with  colton  &   was  left  heartbroken  by  dionysus  (  who  never  revealed  his  godly  status  to  her  ) 

colton  was  raised  by  his  nonna  &  his  nanny .   his  mother  had  been  too  focused  on  amassing  her  empire ,   while  his  new  step - dad   was   too  busy  in  the  nba .   he  was  the  definition  of  “  poor  little  rich  boy  ” . 

having  a  supermodel  as  a  mom  &  an  la  laker  as  a  step - dad  certainly  helped  raise  his  popularity  at  the  private  school  he  went  to .   colton  was  known  to  throw  the  best  parties ,  whether  it  be  in  his  calabasas  home  or  their  beach - front  malibu  mansion . 

he’s  quite  the  social  media  mogul ;   all  of  his  verified  social  media  accounts  have  an  average  of  500k  followers .   he  has  even  created  a  few  iconic  vines  back  in  high  school . 

it’s  surprising  how  he  has  managed  to  evade  monsters  for  so  long .  perhaps ,  it’s  due  to  the  fact  that  he  was  never  in  one  place  for  a  long  time .  he  often  travelled  in  between  cities ,  and  even  countries  to  fulfill  his  wanderlust .  

just  a  month  before  the  battle  of  manhattan ,   colton  was  brought  to  camp  after  surviving  an  attack  by  a  monster  posed  as  a  bodyguard  while  vacationing  in  florida .  his  new  personal  assistant ,  turned  out  to  be  a  satyr ,  and  ensured  his  safety   as  they  travelled  to  new  york .  monsters  were  rising  at  this  point  &  targeting  demigods  regardless  of  status . 

with  only  less  than  three  weeks  to  train ,  it  was  a  miracle  how  he  survived .  he  probably  did  more  running  than  fighting  during  the  battle . 

after  the  storm ,  colton  settled  in  quite  nicely  at  camp .   he’s  known  to  be  a  chaotic  mess ,  who  throws  the  wildest  parties .   when  he’s  around ,  a  good  time  is  a  guarantee ,  however  it  is  clear  that  he  still  has  a  lot  to  learn  about  being  a  demigod . 

PERSONALITY. 

colton  is  rarely  ever  serious .  he’s  the  life  of  the  party  &  will  always  try  to  find  a  way  to  have  fun .  

always  cracking  jokes  ( even  if  it’s  at  your  expense  ) 

literally  would  “ do  it  for  the  vine. ” 

very  loud  &  big  cr*ckhead  energy 

picky  &  finicky .  doesn’t  like  getting  his  hands  dirty . 

can  be  vain  at  times .  people  swear  he  has  some  aphrodite  in  him . 

HEADCANONS . 

has  a  spotify  playlist  called  “  when  aphrodite  girls  show  up  ”

one  time  at  a  party ,  he  made  it  rain  with  drachmas  instead  of  dollar  bills .

courtney  hearst  —  one  has  probably  heard  of  her  name .   after  all ,   she’s  an  iconic  heiress  turned  supermodel .   

she  loved  the  glitz  &  the  glamour  of  hollywood .   photographed  at  every  gala ,   courtney  was  an  integral  asset  of  the  90′s  party  scene .   

how  she  caught  the  eye  of  a  greek  god  would  not  be  a  surprise .  she  and  dionysus  crossed  paths  at  a  new  york  fashion  week  after  party .   it  was  unlike  the  career - oriented  model  to  be  smitten  so  quickly .   it  was  a  whirlwind  romance .   

six  months  in ,  courtney  found  out  she  was  pregnant .  of  course ,  it  made  headlines .   would  she  be  able  to  bounce  back  after  this ?  was  her  modeling  career  over ?  though ,  she  was  determined  to  not  let  a  child  come  in  the  way  of  her  career .  

dionysus  &  courtney  ended  things  four  months  after  colton  was  born .  she  never  knew  the  true  nature  of  her  ex - boyfriend ,   other  than  that  he  was  a  total  douchebag .

camp - related .

go - to  weapon : a  celestial  bronze  kaskara  sword  ambrosia :   he  only  had  to  take  ambrosia  once  &  it  was  during  the  battle  of  manhattan .   upon  first  taste ,  he  swore  it  was  his  nonna’s  apple  pie ,  but  it  later  shifted  to  his  childhood  nanny’s  homemade  strawberry  milk .  favourite camp location :  cabin  12  their opinion of their godly parent :  colton  never  quite   cared  about  not  growing  up  with  his  biological  dad ,  since  his  mom  remarried  an  nba  player  who  took  him  in  as  his  own .  he  hates  having  mr. d  around  at  camp ,  though .  it  means  he  can’t  fuck  around  so  much .  age they were claimed : twenty - two  how they were claimed : a  golden  thyrsus  surrounded  in  a  purple  aura  appeared  on  top  of  his  head  during  his  first  camp - wide  meeting  at  the  amphitheater .  it  was  followed  by  a  groan  from  mr. d’s  direction .   stance on the new cabins : neutral .  reason for their stance :  colton  hasn’t  been  at  camp  long  enough  to  understand  the  politics  of  it .  even  then ,  he’s  just  here  to  have  fun .  their opinion on lyssa pentelute :  who ?  quests : none  &  he  wouldn’t  want  to  go . 

personality .

⌈    —    platonic . 

former quest partners : sawyer  has  been  on  a  total  of  three  quests ,  mostly  taking  place  when  he  was  younger .   he  doesn’t  open  up  much ,  but  sharing  near - death  experiences  would  be  enough  for  sawyer  to  call  y/c  a  friend .  

polar  opposites :  sawyer  is  known  as  a  bad  boy  around  camp ,  with  bruises  on  his  cheeks  &  cuts  on  his  lip . y/c  is  a  happy-go-lucky  camper  who’s  a  ray  of  sunshine .  nobody  can  quite  figure   out  how  they  even  became  friends ,  but  seeing  them  apart  is  unheard  of .

mentee :  as  the  head  counselor  of  the  ares  cabin ,  sawyer  has  a  lot  of  experience  with  fighting  and  different  kinds  of  weaponry .  he  could  help  out  y/c  become  a  better  fighter .  plus  points  if  this  develops  into  an  older  brother / younger  sibling  sort  of  relationship .

sharing a secret :  sawyer  often  sneaks  out  of  camp  to  go  back  to  new  jersey  to  participate  in  paid  underground  fighting ,  while  y/c  also  sneaks  out  of  camp .  one  night  while  traveling  back  to  camp  on  the  subway ,  they  run  into  each  other  and  have  to  fight  a  monster  together .  now ,  they  help  each  other  sneak  out  of  camp ,  even  if  it’s  to  have  fun  together .

mischievous friends : it  may  take  a  bit  of  alcohol ,  but  y/c  and  sawyer  are  each  other’s  go  to  when  they  need  to  let  loose .  he  doesn’t  allow  himself  to  unwind  a  lot ,  but  he  knows  he  can  count  on  y/c  for  the  task .

⌈    —    romantic .

like we used to :  sawyer  and  y/c  used  to  have  a  summer  romance  three  years  ago ,  when  sawyer  was  nineteen .  it  was  the  first  time  he  truly  allowed  himself  to  be  vulnerable  to  anyone ,  but  y/c  broke  it  off  and  found  love  with  another  camper .  it  took  sawyer  a  while  to  get  over  her ,  and  he  hasn’t  been  the  same  ever  since .  inspired  by  like  we  used  to  by  a  rocket  to  the  moon .

playful  flings  / regular  hook  ups : pretty  self - explanatory .  sawyer  is  not  into  commitment ,  and  he’d  rather  have  short - lived  affairs  now .

slow  burn :  y/c  makes  sawyer  feel  a  way  he  hasn’t  in  a  long  time ,  but  he  won’t  admit  it  to  himself .  their  time  together  is  full  of  longing  glances  &  lots  of  tension  ,  but  sawyer  refuses  to  make  the  first  move .

the  chase :  y/c  likes  to  tease  sawyer ,  and  leave  him  hanging . it’s  okay .  he  enjoys  the  chase .

drunk  mistake :  one  time  at  a  party ,  y/c  and  sawyer  might’ve  gotten  too  drunk  and  hooked  up ,  or  had  a  threesome .  now , things  are  awkward  between  them ,  but  the  attraction  is  still  there .

awkward crush :  sawyer  has  had  a  crush  on  y/c  for  as  long  as  he  could  remember  ,  but  she  seems  way  too  out  of  his  league  &  he  would  never  make  a  move .  they  could  be  friends ,  it  could  be  one  sided .

⌈    —    adversary .

rivals :  they  both  have  been  at  camp  for  around  the  same  time ,   and  are  equally  good  at  what  they  do .  their  childish  rivalry  has  been  going  on  since  they  first  started  out  at  camp ,  but  will  it  end  anytime  soon ?

polar  opposites:  they’re  so  different  that  they  just  don’t  click .

THE BASICS.

full name: sawyer gage bennett birthday: november 19, 1997 birthplace: houston, texas hometown: wilmington, delaware

HISTORY.

the bennett family had humble beginnings. sawyer was never the type of kid who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth; his mother, lisa, was just a humble waitress at a local diner in new jersey. though she was struggling to make ends meet, lisa made sure to compensate for the lack of gifts on sawyer’s birthdays and christmases with unwavering love.

during his elementary years, sawyer proved to be a clever and cynical child. although he received stellar marks in all classes, he was very awkward and reserved. he wasn’t antisocial, but he wasn’t mr popular either. his circle of friends was small, and he got into more fights than any other student, due to his adhd. his dyslexia never stopped him from keeping his head buried in books. oftentimes, he lost himself in fictional worlds when the real world was too much to bear.

as a teenager, things grew rough for the half-blood. money became a bigger problem than ever before for the bennetts. sawyer took odd jobs, from mowing lawns to delivering newspapers, but it was never enough. at fourteen years old,  sawyer took a job as a writer for an amateur magazine, the modern eggs society. he wrote about rising bands and trends to follow before they got famous. the magazine slowly got a cult following, and sawyer was one of their best writers.

with college applications just a few years away, things weren’t looking so bright for the bennetts. lisa couldn’t possibly pay for the bills and fund sawyer’s education. he wasn’t nearly smart enough nor talented to get a scholarship. so when he turned sixteen, sawyer took another job in an underground fight club. he was able to reel in more cash, but at the expense of his reputation. everyone at school noticed the bruises on his cheeks, and the recurring black eyes or cuts on his lips. he got stereotyped as a bad boy. at this point, people were too scared to go even near him.

though he was now able to help his mom pay the bills and shower her with gifts, his mom grew worried with her son’s beat up appearance and increasing absence at home. though sawyer always reassured her that everything was fine, and his main source of income was the magazine.

he learned about his nature as a demigod when one of his colleagues at the modern eggs society was apparently a satyr. sawyer was brought to camp half-blood in new york when he was seventeen, where he was claimed by ares. he still wrote for the modern eggs blog, and would make trips back to new jersey numerous times a week in order to train at the fight club to send money back to his mom.

sawyer’s ancestry made sense; no wonder he was bullied a lot growing up, and he was able to incite anger among his rivals.. it certainly explained how he was such a naturally skilled fighter. however, his reputation followed him to camp. he was still known as the quiet guy who probably got into too many fights when he wasn’t at camp. in spite of this, the ares cabin elected him as head counselor when he was nineteen.

PERSONALITY.

quiet and reserved, sawyer has been deemed as unapproachable. if only people knew how he's, in fact, a sensitive and warm-hearted guy.

he is very intelligent as a result of being inquisitive. sawyer is cynical towards life, his questions always being why and how, as opposed to what.

being introduced the indie scene has shaped his preferences. he appreciates underground stuff and chooses to not go with the flow, often staying out of the loop.

on the other hand, he can be very timid and insecure. within the first few moments, he can be awkward and hard to talk to, but those first impressions will be dispersed with his humble attitude.

something most people don't know is that sawyer is stubborn and insecure. he's afraid of letting people into his life with the fear that they will leave him.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

bruised cheekbones and split lips, it's no wonder why sawyer has been labeled as a bad boy. he has a wide forehead and a chiseled jaw with a pointed chin. his cheekbones are defined, yet have remnants of fading bruises from being in a fight club.

his lips are thin and upturned, and has a faint scar from one of his many fights.

his nose is long and crooked after having it broken far too many times.

he's lean and toned, thanks to his training.
