Hayden Briar always lived with his father in the countryside of Texas. He often helped him with his farm and garden, which were quite known around the place for how delicious the crops would turn out to be and how beautiful the garden was to any visitor, although he felt much more calm staying at the latter and appreciating the way plants grew at their own pace thanks to him. This place wasn't a large city, or had the largest spaces available to him. However, it only made him long for more each time he would see the outside world on television, or simply read about all sort of places and people on books. It is not that he wasn't satisfied with his life, it was simply a blossoming desire to experience all kind of situations, see all kind of places in the world that wasn't home.

His father, Jackson Briar, never understood his son's wish to see it all, he always insisted that the place they lived in was enough and Hayden was underestimating it, but the boy truly was adventurous at heart. His wish kept him going, as he saved every penny he got from helping his father at the farm to one day reach his goal.

However, not everything went as he would have wanted, as his 18th birthday was completely ruined once his father told him the truth. The reason why he never wanted him to leave the town is because he was a son of Persephone, and wise, malicious people could put him in danger due to his nature. He didn't want Hayden to become a guinea pig. It is why he wanted a tranquil life for his son.

Hayden saw his life turned upside down when his plans were completely crushed. Too much information was being handed to him all at once and he felt like he couldn’t grasp the idea. He was told that he would go to Olympus if he was to go to college and stay there for his safety. Of course, this was not taken so positively by the male, who to this day struggles to adapt himself to the situation and longs to go to larger cities. He can’t even understand how people seem so content and fulfilled living in such a retired area, where he seriously feels limited.

okay so kyle, my boy kyle is about the most extra person on this planet. he’s lived in olympus for years and comes from a pretty wealthy family back in Portland, Maine but never felt like he fit with his father. he was too serious, too obsessed with appearances and stature and honor. and all kyle ever wanted to do was self-indulge and have fun, think if logan delos and klaus hargreeves had a love child it would be kyle parrish.

he works and his the founder of circe’s tattoo shop, he dabbles in potion-making often selling psychedelics and opioid type potions that have all the fun but not as much of the risk, not saying there isn’t any, because there are plenty. 

he’s self-indulgent like stated before, sleeping around, cheating on his significant others often, and not care for too much but himself. 

he’s all fun in games outwardly but at the end of the day the most important thing to him is himself, but his pretty smile and charm tends to get people to overlook that, often falling victim to his manipulations and antics for using somebody until he doesn’t need anything from them anymore. 

so goldie grew up in queens new york with her father declan keelen, a child of ares. from the day she was born she was his entire world and especially when her mother decided she didn’t want to be part of her life, she felt she wasn’t ready to raise a child and didn’t want to compete for the attention that was being stolen from her with her new daughter, so once she was out of the hospital her mom took off, and didn’t come back in her life until years later. 

goldie’s father was a boxer and a crook, often staging fights to pocket the money of the gamblers who came to bet on him, working the system to benefit himself, as well as being the muscle for a pretty notorious mob boss. goldie grew up spoiled, adored, and pretty used to a constant sight of violence, it never bothered her, it never scared her, and she loved her father more than anything.

goldie’s biggest problem in life was being taken seriously for who she was, because of her mother, a beautiful daughter of aphrodite, goldie was born with beautiful gold girls and bright blue eyes, one of the most beautiful babies the doctors had ever seen, so beautiful in fact that her grandmother, Aphrodite, even blessed her as an infant by making her something people were drawn to, something people wanted to love and adore... this blessing, however, became more of a curse to goldie as she grew up. 

she’s always taken more after her father, more after ares. she’s aggressive and hot-tempered, she speaks bluntly and doesn’t really care about hurting feelings and prefers to be left alone. all she ever wanted was to be like her dad, someone people respected, someone that could intimidate with just a glance, but sadly all she’s ever been able to do with a glance is make people smile and want to talk to her.

because of this she grew up with a bit of a complex, she isolated herself more, pushed people away, and has always been a bit of a loner... but in new york she had her life, she had her friends she loved, she had everything she could have ever wanted even if it was hard to live up to her dad’s image.

that is until he was arrested for first-degree murder after being caught working a hob for his bosses. it all happened so quickly she didn’t get a chance to figure anything out for herself, all she knew was her father sitting on the other side of a window telling her she was going to go to olympus, and she had no say in the matter. 

she was fourteen when she arrived in a olympus, heart-broken, angry, and a chip still permanently on her shoulder.

being here for six years she has made a few friends, a handful of people she loves and does all she can to be good too, though that doesn’t mean at times she’s not an absolutely heartless bitch, especially since returning to town a month ago after deciding she wanted to leave. she hasn’t really spoken to anyone about trip home, but most of her close friends can tell whatever happened broke her, that hidden fact being that when she went back to new york she ran into her father who had been out of jail for three years now and didn’t bother to come and get her. 

she lives in aura lofts with Indy, she works at the stop ‘n’ shop near the beach and tends to spend most of her time in the arena or going off on quests. 

calla got her mother’s dark hair and her tendency to go all in when she truly wanted something. from her father, she got his slender build and his bouts of daydreaming. given this mix, she always feels like bursting at the seams with making her dreams a reality. she’s always been up for a challenge but a stubborn to change especially if it’s not her who’s calling the shots. her leather bound planner is her bible and she’s always been very meticulous about doing every single thing on it before she turns in for the night. she likes routine but will spice it up every now and then – if you’d consider waking up 30 minutes past her alarm to be spicy.

calla lived in spain for the first thirteen years of her life. she lived what she thought was her best life there. her mother was a preschool teacher and her father was a  musician. she’d spend her days at school, afternoons at the public library, and nights learning calligraphy while her father played the violin in their living room. they eventually decided to move back to olympus after her father needed to get physical therapy for his shaky hands. uprooted from the only life she knew, she made it a personal quest to keep proving herself – to who, she did not know.

calla is a junior at olympus university majoring in international relations. she’s always been fascinated as a child when foreign dignitaries would walk through town square in their sharp suits and clicking heels. working part-time in the school’s library takes up most of her afternoons but she doesn’t mind. books have always been a safe haven for her and was her form of escapism from the “small town lull” she constantly kept batting away. at 21 however, she’s questioning her decisions as she still doesn’t know what she’ll be doing after graduation. she doesn’t want to leave her family especially now that they seem happier in olympus. and even if she wouldn’t admit it to anyone, she’s starting to feel comfortable in this small town which feels like a betrayal to all her dreams. torn between wanting so much more from her life and finding out how to live in the now, she’s constantly learning and unlearning things about herself and this small town that’s she’s slowly accepting to feel as home.

instead of opting for a dormitory, she moved to aura lofts at 18 because she had that insatiable feeling of wanting more, more, MORE. in it, she has a small crafts room where she manages her own little calligraphy business making invitations, bookmarks, and whatever clients requests that she’s able to accomplish. business has been picking up especially as she’s been shipping her work state-wide. it may not rack up an insane amount of money, but she enjoys creating art as much as her father enjoys creating music. 

Born and raised in the ways of a small time crook, Richie made a promise to not only himself but -- and most importantly -- to his mother that he wouldn’t end up like his father, currently serving year 12 of a 35 year sentence for armed robbery and aggravated assault.

Without a solid plan of his own on just how to go straight he decided to pursue his childhood friends dream instead -- opening an upscale restaurant in the heart of the rapidly gentrifying Bronx borough. Gabriel took care of all the planning; he had been doing that for years. All it required was a man that knew how to get things.

Fit Richie perfectly.

A generally reserved young man, it’s easy to see there’s more going on than meets the eye. A sharp mind, quick tongue and the audacity to walk where others fear to tread. But in the end blood does tell. And he is very much his father’s son. Violence and anger? It’s in the blood. Larceny is in the veins.

cheerleader. student council president. honor roll. prom queen. high school sweethearts—imogen seemed to have everything she could ever wished for during her senior year in high school. all of the students looked up to her and every girl wished they had the enviable relationship she had with her boyfriend. they were the power couple, dated for all four years of high school and already had plans of getting married after college. but just before graduation, all of her hopes and dreams were shattered as she caught him cheating on her with one of her friends. devastation and rage filled her heart that she wouldn't even hear his explanation before saying it's over. with a broken heart, she ended up sleeping with a stranger she didn't know the name of, which led to her getting pregnant. she always wanted to be a mother, but not in this way--she didn't want her child to grow up without a father so she put her up for adoption. it was the biggest regret of her life.

unlike hera, she wasn't cruel or vindictive--but she did have a jealous streak that couldn't be matched. it was her weakness, the reason why none of her relationships ever worked after highschool. she always find faults in the men she dated. even if they just spare a glance at another girl, she would begin to lose her temper. there was no excuse in the way she acted, but her self esteem that has been lowered after catching her ex cheating on her made her quite insecure. after her failed relationships, she was reluctant on trying again. but with hera now inhabiting her body, some of those things may begin to change as the goddess slowly regains her true self. still, she had a soft heart that just wanted to be love, that just wanted to get married and have her own happy ever after.

✿✿✿  ...  i’ll  make  a  wanted  connections  page  once  i  actually  get  ideas  for  it,  or  i  may  just  reblog  images  /  gif  sets  with  the  tag  !!  (  that  being  said,  still  missing  a  tag  dump  so  hhhhhhhHHHHH------  )  but  at  this  current  moment,  i  will  say  that  i  would  love  for  ophelia  to  have  a  friend  or  two  that  lowkey  look  out  for  her  presence  so  that  she’s  not  behind  on  social  queues.  i’m  not  saying  she’s  the  baby  of  the  group  but  she’s  sort  of  falls  under  the  wallflower  ...  assuming  she  even  knows  the  party  is  happening.

✿✿✿  …  let  me  just  copy  and  paste  my  post  before  this  one:  ophelia  is  still  very  much  new  to  the  city,  even  though  she  has  been  here  for  a  year  already.  she’s  so  much  of  a  momma’s  girl  that  she  didn’t  want  to  leave  home  which  explains  why  she’s  a  little  older  than  a  typical  newcomer,  having  arrived  at  20  instead  of  18.  her  mother  actually  forced  her  out,  concerned  that  her  daughter’s  lack  of  experience  will  put  ophelia  in  the  same  shoes  persephone  had  been  at  that  age.

✿✿✿  ...  while  she  has  established  a  place  to  live,  her  decision  to  work  at  hestia’s  bakery  was  to  avoid  daily  social  communication  as  much  as  she  could  which  further  isolates  her  from  the  other  demigods.  so  much  so  that  she  doesn’t  blame  people  for  forgetting  she  is  even  around.  she  is  used  to  fading  into  the  background,  she’s  been  doing  this  since  she  was  a  child  when  she  would  hide  behind  her  mother’s  skirts.

✿✿✿  ...  it’s  not  that  she  doesn’t  like  making  friends,  she’s  actually  very  talkative  once  the  conversation  gets  going  !!  and  she’s  also  happy  to  be  the  one  to  start  the  conversation.  it’s  just  that  ...  well  ...  her  inexperience  with  people  makes  her  sort  of  a  pushover,  especially  when  it  comes  to  guys.  her  mother  warned  her  to  watch  out  for  people  who  would  use  her,  not  all  gods  and  their  children  are  nice,  so  ophelia  decided:  you  know  what  ??  i’m  just  going  to  Avoid  Everyone.  :))
