let me not die ingloriously;

Have you seen Cas around camp? Wait, you don’t know Casimir Alden? He is a claimed Greek demigod, from Cabin 42. You know, the Eirene Cabin? He is 23, and arrived at camp 11 years ago, and get mistaken for Tom Holland most of the time. He is usually pretty pacifistic and gentle, but can be fragile and anxious.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Casimir and his twin brother Concord arrived in Camp in a relatively normal fashion, guided there by a kind satyr after a monster attacked their school. Rather than fighting or running from the beast, the twins had managed to calm it, something that was altogether unsurprisingly for them. The boys had always been good at soothing tempers wherever they went and as far as anyone knew, the two had never gotten into a fight.

That didn’t change, even after the revelation of their heritage. Growing up in a good foster home, the kind that the system was meant to be, had left them curious and open to accept the fact that they were children of Greek deities. If anything, this revelation explained a lot of things that had previously been brushed off. The twins leapt at the chance to spend their summers among others like them, even going so far as to make trips to New Rome as peacekeepers.

It was easy to make the choice to attend college in New Rome after graduating high school, but the twins diligently returned to Camp Half-Blood every summer, sometimes taking on smaller quests that were more peaceable in nature.

It was during one such quest that everything went wrong. Casimir and Concord vanished, leaving no trace. As days turned to weeks and weeks to months, hope dwindled and finally petered out entirely, until they were declared dead. Word was sent to their family and shrouds were burned. Life went on.

Until a figure stumbled into camp, bearing tattered armor and a broken sword, all that was left to him. Everything else, down to his name, was gone, buried in the blood and mist. One son of Eirene returned, and no one knows which.

DEMIGOD FORM

Have you seen [ Milo ] around camp? Wait, you don’t know [ Miles Ryder Reyes ]? He is a [ claimed Greek ] demigod, from Cabin [ 11 ]. You know, the [ Hermes ] Cabin? He is [ 24 ], and arrived at camp [ 3 ] months ago, and get mistaken for [ Bob Morely ] most of the time. He is usually pretty [ generous and understanding ], but can be [ abrasive and reckless ].

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Milo was a good kid. Good grades, good athlete; the whole shebang. He had a great relationship with his mom (his best friend) often resulting in him not caring very much that his dad had ran out on them. It had always been his mom and him, and that was good enough for him. However, despite being a good kid, being a demigod with ADHD and dyslexia got him labeled as dumb. His demigod ability of being able to see through the Mist also got him in trouble, as well as created a sense of paranoia within him.

The first time he started truly noticing the strange and scary things that were often lurking nearby, he was twelve, and just staring middle school. He soon became very scared, unsure of what to do and whom he should tell. He became so scared, that at some point he stopped going to school, “leaving” the apartment, only to lock himself in it once his mom had left for work; all the doors and windows locked as he hid under his covers for hours on end. That was the beginning of the strain on his relationship with his mom.

Unsure of how to deal with this “teenage rebellion”, his mom began driving him to school everyday, and he was soon forced into seeing the school counselor. Unsure of what to say, but sick of the fear and lying, he decided against lying. He was immediately sent to a psychiatric ward, and that’s when it hit him; he would never be able to speak about this again.

Once he was finally let out, he was attacked. He doesn’t remember by what, all he remembers was killing it. Soon, it became a battle for his life just to get home to the safety of his mother every day, only for her to yell and worry about why he was showing up at home hours late, with cuts and scratches littering his body.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was when he accidentally burned down the school gym, filled with monsters. He couldn’t even go home. Unsure of what to do, he ran. And ran. And ran.

After a few months on the street, he lucked into a celestial bronze sword, becoming a proficient thief and ultimately handling himself well. At the age of 16, after having been on his own for awhile, he happened upon a group of young demigods, going through what he had experienced, and he began protecting them, and teaching them to fight. He had never found his way to camp, never knowing of its existence.

Until, he saw what looked like Roman soldiers fighting in Long Island? Interest spiked, Milo soon stumbled upon Camp Half-Blood, post-battle. And rather than being relieved, he became angry that he had not found it sooner, but happy that he had finally figured out what and who he was.

Milo had decided to stay; he knew how to fight but he thought formal training would be nice. He wasn’t exactly wrong, though the transition from always having to fight, to having a semi-safe haven; a bed, food everyday, a place to continue school, had thrown him off. Now that his life has become relatively stabilized, he hopes to reach out to his mother. Although, his first priority is making sure that every kid he had traveled with, was safe.

Have you seen [ ALYSSA ] around camp? Wait, you don’t know [ ALYSSA IM ]? She is a [ claimed Greek ] demigod, from Cabin [ CABIN 13 ]. You know, the [ HADES ] Cabin? She is [ 18 ], and arrived at camp [ 4 ] years ago, and gets mistaken for [ IRENE BAE ] most of the time. She is usually pretty [ DECISIVE AND DETERMINED ], but can be [ HEADSTRONG AND DISMISSIVE ].

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For as long as she could remember, she had spent her childhood living in Miss Annie’s Nursing Home with the elderly. She had no memory of who her parents were, and the only thing she knew about herself was that she was “God’s child,” according to Miss Annie, the nursing home's owner.

She had a childhood friend named Timothy, and he was the light of her life. He was the grandson of one of the grandmothers living in the nursing home, and ever since the two first met, he would visit her regularly, bringing her snacks and food from where he was from. With time, he taught her how to write and read.

“This is your name,” he said, neatly writing ‘Alyssa Im’ on a blank sheet of paper. “And this is mine."

"Timothy Im,” she read. “We have the same last name?"

"No, I made yours up to match mine,” he responded, grinning widely. From that day on, she was Alyssa Im.

One day, Timothy didn’t appear, and he didn’t appear the next day either, or the next. She then heard the news of his death; he had died from pneumonia.

Around a month later, a strange woman arrived at the nursing home, claiming to be Alyssa’s guardian. Miss Annie had passed away a few years ago, and the nursing home’s new owner was too glad to relieve herself of another mouth to feed. Thus, Alyssa left the nursing home and was introduced to Camp Half-Blood by the woman.

DEMIGOD FORM

Have you seen [ EVAN ] around camp? Wait, you don’t know [ EVAN ROSELL ]? He is a [ CLAIMED GREEK ] demigod, from Cabin [ 35 ]. You know, the [ AKHLYS ] Cabin? He is [ 19 ], and arrived at camp [ 3 ] months ago, and get mistaken for [ TYE SHERIDAN ] most of the time. He is usually pretty [ LOYAL and VERSATILE ], but can be [ HEADSTRONG and HARSH ].

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Evan responded to being called “Miracle” than his actual two first names first. Yes, he responded to Evan, and yes, he responded to Genre (pronounces Henry) but he preferred to be called Miracle. It was a name that his late father had given him, according to his step-dad. He had never really met his dad, and that nickname made him feel close to his dad. All he had was memories of him told by his step-dad.

Fast forward to his eighteenth year, he lost the only family he had. His step-father had died, and he was left to care for himself. Evan was too old for the system, and he really had nothing besides the small amount of money that his step-dad has left him. It was barely enough to cover his college tuition, which was why he decided to join the marines.

He never fully realized how apt his nickname was until he woke up in the hospital. All Evan heard repeatedly was how it was a miracle that he was still alive. Apparently, his unit was hit with a surprise IED while they were on transport with other units. The only reason why he got out luckier than his unit and the rest was because he was bending down to tie his shoelaces and avoided the huge blast and first wave of shrapnel that came from the device. He was definitely luckier than most, only getting out of the whole mess with most of his hearing gone, and a bum leg.

It was only a year through his tour, but he was obviously sent back to the U.S. again since he wasn’t fit to serve anymore. Evan had never felt this lost since his step-father had died, and he really didn’t know what to do. A month into being a hermit and unable to pull himself from under that haze, he was attacked by a monster while he was trying to buy his groceries in the supermarket near the corner of his house. With the bum leg and the dull senses that he had, it was a surprise that he even managed to survive. It was a miracle again, since a demigod had discovered him and took him back to camp.
