Body Type: Olympian shape. Muscled like the heroes of old and fit as a roman centurion.
Appearance: Brastus is considered very handsome. His sharp and good-looking face is almost always plastered with either a grin or a smile. He stands head and shoulders over regular people and thanks to his looks, he has amassed quite a number of female admirers. His jawline is strong, his hands rough he has a prominently square jaw and his lips are a bit too thin. He can sometimes, depending on the lighting, look beaten up and tired, but he rarely takes this form. His outfit consists of a deep colored V-neck shirt with a custom black ebony leather coat over his shirt and broad shoulders. His waists is encircled by a small belt and he uses dark trousers and heavy boots for footwear. His most treasured possession is his dagger-shaped necklace, which he uses to store his sword whenever he is not using it.
Weapon: He is skilled in a large variety of weapons, but is most comfortable using a broadsword. The weapon is larger and heavier than any longsword, but slightly smaller and lighter than a greatsword. The blade is deep ebony even though it is made out of celestial bronze. It is black because he asked one of the members of the cabin of Hephaestus to hide the bronze color and replace it with black. It has a red ruby on its pummel and a black guard. Although it looks demonic and evil, it is made out of celestial bronze. The sword was forged by Michael personally during his first summer on the camp. The blade is 100 cm long and 120 cm large from pummel to tip. He can alter the physical form of his blade in order for it to blend in by turning it into his dagger-shaped necklace.
Armor: Prefers to utilize intimidating heavy armor since he is strong enough to move effortlessly around with such a heavy thing and can use the additional weight to make even a defensive blow powerful enough to disarm. Like his sword, it is made out of celestial bronze, but was altered so it looked as black as the night instead of the traditional color of bronze.
Pet(s): He adopted a Rottweiler named Rex and he keeps him on his room. Brastus is very fond of his dog and the two are often seen running during his morning routine, and playing fetch. Rex is very loyal to Brastus and enjoys his master's touch and compassionate form. Rex is 2 years old.
Skills/Talents: He is surprisingly good at playing the Spanish guitar. He considers himself a festive person, hence he can get people on their feet dancing quite frequently once he and a group of friends play together. Thanks to his foster father ( the one who helped him get off the streets), he was taught how to ascertain whenever a person is lying and most of the time, he gets it right. Still if a person can control themselves when they lie, he finds it difficult to make sure. He also read a number of books on rhetoric, philosophy and history, hence he is someone who can create concrete arguments and debates on the fly. Due to being the son of the god of war he has ADHD and dyslexia, but is very fast, swift and precise when it comes to fights. His most famous trait is his great strength and physical resistance both which are considered high even for demigods. Attributed to his brute strength even his parries carry enough power to disarm a person. He can easily overwhelm novice warriors and has a reputation for never holding back.
Flaws: Brastus has a very short fuse, which can sometimes set off arguments with other demigods. Sometimes he can be arrogant and narcissistic. His rage is his greatest weapon and biggest weakness( if exposed). He is slightly weaker on his left hand than on his right hand, but that is hardly an impediment.
Strengths: He is a very good teacher and warrior. His way with words is a double-edged knife because while he can strike down deal with others where the one that gains the most is himself, he has a penchant for starting brawls and arguments. His favorite games are chess and capture the flag. Whenever he fights, his drive and determination can sometimes influence others to keep pressing forward. He is a capable strategist and tactician, but often relies upon tactics that use both extremely aggression and underhanded maneuvers to ensure success. He is a natural leader and an effective commander.
Weaknesses: Maintaining a stable relationship with a single girl. Members of the female sex often cloud his judgment outside of battle. His biggest weakness when exposed, is his equally deadly wrath. He is a horrible singer and cannot dance that well unless its with a dance partner that knows what they are doing. He is terrible at swimming and finding directions. Brastus is also quite headstrong and can be very stubborn.
Likes: Fighting, laughing, strong and proud warriors that can rival him in battle, boxing, swimming, weight-lifting, reading and wrestling. His favorite pastimes include playing a good game of chess and having a long and challenging game of capture the flag. Is attracted to strong, independent, noble, courageous yet sweet and lady-like girls. Interesting debates on history, weapons, situations and circumstances. Likes to hang out with those close to him.
Dislikes: Weak willed people in general, boredom, ugly girls, overcooked food, clothes too tight on himself, and losing at anything, but doesn't take it hard unless it involves a weapon and armor. Strongly dislikes mathematics and complaining brats.
Fears: Becoming old, weak and worthless. Being forgotten by time.
Personality: Brastus can come initially come off as big jerk to those who don't know him, for example him using his large size and form to intimidate others into doing things for him or the fact that he looks down on the new ones extremely and often makes fun of a physical aspect he can find. He respects strong warriors and looks up to the heroes of old for inspiration. He can be proud and very arrogant. Due to being considered very attractive, he is narcissistic and is a victim of vanity. Regardless, he has a heart of gold and can be compassionate, caring, loving, romantic and even brotherly or paternal to those who know the real him. He has a problem with authority though, and argues with several other campers for over the tiniest things. It's hard to earn his respect, but once you earn it, its almost impossible for him to look down on that specific person. He has a silver tongue and is overly blunt sometimes. When it comes to partners, he is very dedicated and passionate, but it's hard for him to maintain a stable relationship because Brastus is a slave to the airs of beauty. Overall, he can come off as cold and mean, but can actually turn out to be an incredibly friendly and kind person once you dig deep enough. Brastus, like other children of Ares, is hot-blooded, temperamental, strong, headstrong and brave. Above all, he loves fighting and being part of a conflict. He also has a hard time asking out members of the opposite sex and while he can have a normal conversation with them, he gets extremely flustered and nervous when he tries to get her to go out on a date with him. If its a girl he is REALLY attracted to, he gains a terrible speech impediment. He is also quite critical of other fighters.
Powers: He owns 6 other powerful weapons, but none actually have a magical ability. He stores them inside his trunk. At any time, he can call upon these tools for his personal use, but these tools cannot be used by anyone that has not been approved by Brastus personally, nor should he summon more then five weapons per day. ( Excluding his personal blade) His weapons take about five seconds to summon and another five seconds to switch between his current weapon. Right after he finishes using his weapons, they automatically teleport right back to his storehouse. His weapon summoning range is limited to the 1000 miles. ( Half the length of the unites states). If he summons more than 5 he requires to sleep for three days. This is due to the fact that using more than 5 weapons takes a very heavy toll on his body due to the amount of power he must channel in order to summon a 6th weapon. Note, his personal sword doesn't count as a weapon he summons due to it being with him almost all the time, be it as a weapon or as an accessory.
When he is around dead soldiers, he can call upon them from the grave that are around the surrounding area to work for him for a maximum of 2 hours every three days. For him to summon his dead warriors, he first must crouch down and focus on the souls of the recent dead. Afterwards, he I able to amass a small squad of soldiers as long as he maintains them near a five mile radius. Currently, he can summon around five soldiers to fight for him. These soldiers retain all of their fighting abilities while they lived, but they cannot regenerate. They also do not suffer any decomposition for their bodies and organs are restored completely, also they are equipped with some swords or weapons he summons from his room. ( They are not skeletons btw in fact the look like regular human beings). Based off his own powers, he can increase his base strength by a maximum of 20% by feeding off the rage and anger his enemies display during battle. Due to his way with words, he can enrage a good number of people.
Social Status: Popular but viewed as a bully by some. A bit of a rebel and a troublemaker. Is famous amongst girls without him knowing.
Summer or Year Rounder: He is mostly a year rounder, but he does travel to different parts of the world during random parts of the year.
Years at Camp: Around three years.
Life Before CHB: Before he joined the camp, Brastus had what one could call, a complicated childhood. While he was brought into the world by his birth mother Stella, and his father Ares, both of his parents failed to put much effort into being parents since his father left him after his first week of life and his mother turned to alcohol in order to cope with the loss of her lover. She often used him as a punching bag and a slave. Since she worked multiple jobs, she wasn't really around that much. His original name was Carlos Leon, but after his 11th birthday, he decided to run away and never go back to his mother. He also abandoned his birth name and took a Latin name for his own. He eventually went to Italy, where he met a man who called himself Rafaelo Beniti. Rafaelo was an Italian detective who taught Brastus many things. Without him knowing, he soon came to view Rafaelo as father-like figure and the detective saw him a an adoptive son. He lived a relatively normal life until a particular day back when he was 14. Brastus had always helped Rafaelo during his cases, but during a chase for a killer, the two failed to notice a trap had been set. A large explosion was activated and the two were buried underneath the rubble. Brastus managed to climb off, but after he found his adoptive father and tried to help him using his strength, the detective was mortified. Even after he tried to help the man get up, he was still told to go away. With a heavy heart, Brastus abandoned the only father he knew and hid inside Germany where he met a guy around his age named Michael. The boy quickly asked his parents to allow Brastus to stay with them and he was taken in as another part of the family. As months passed, Michael's father revealed to Brastus that he was not Michael's birth father but his protector. His real father was Hephaestus and before he left for Olympus, he trusted him with Michael, while his birth mother married the satyr in order to protect the child. The man also revealed to Brastus he was a satyr and that he could feel Brastus was another demigod. Brastus vaguely remembered his mother's mad chants about his godly father and while he didn't really pay attention to it when he was younger, he started to give her the benefit of the doubt. He needed answers and the best way to get them was to confront his own mother directly. Together with his best friend, Brastus traveled to Spain in search of his birth mother. However, once he found her, he discovered she had been admitted to a mental hospital. Turns out she begun to use both her lover and her son's divine blood to trick others into following her as a cult leader and often stole from them. She was discard as mad by the court and ever since taken up residence inside the mental asylum. When the time came, he confronted his mother, but to his surprise, she didn't recognize him. Instead of making a big deal out of it, he decided to use his adoptive name instead of his birth name and begun asking her questions while telling her he was writing a school essay about her life. She told him everything. She told him just who his father was and she confessed to him she had not been a good mother. Brastus, still acting, said that her son would provably forgive her and walked out of the room. That was the last time he ever heard of his birth mother. Michael proposed to Brastus a visit to a camp on the United States where other demigods lived. Michael had visited the camp a year ago and told Brastus of all the things they did while on the camp. Deciding he had nothing else to do in Europe, Brastus returned to Germany and gratefully parted ways with Michael's parents. After arriving to the United States, he stayed in New York City for a few months before going to camp during the summer. After spending a summer on the camp, he decided he was happy and amongst others like him. Tearfully, he said goodbye to his best friend as Michael returned to Germany after the summer and Brastus stayed at Camp Half-Blood.
Role-playing Example: I walked down the lake. It was already dark and the cold night breeze was caressing my proud chest. I decided to leave behind my eyepatch at the cabin and just take a swim at the lake by myself. I needed to relax, after all today was the anniversary of my injury. My boots made noise every time I stomped them down the ground, so I left then on the cabin and wore just a pair of swimming trunks and my necklace. Usually I would only swim whenever I was either too happy and had the energy to swim with one of the kids on the cabin of Poseidon, or when I needed some time alone. After Walking down to the lake, I stared at the blue water and sat down on the edge. The moon was hung over me and air was embracing me. I needed to distract myself today, and I required peace and quiet. You know, she might had stabbed me in the eye with a cleaver and kissed another guy, but I sure missed Penelope. As memories of the past stroll down on my mind, I heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. I got up and decided to investigated. What I found made my blood boil and my rage skyrocket.
"Pen! What are you doing here?" I asked with an enraged and lowered tone in my voice.
Note: For his travels, he used any available means. He mostly used trains though, since he couldn't drive a car or afford a plane ticket. For the anger power boasts he gets, his enemy must physically show signs of extreme rage in order for him to increase his physical capabilities. ( Gritted teeth, faces flush with the color red, tense muscles etc) His soldiers can summon a single weapon from his room so they arm themselves, but there summoning don't count as an extension of Brastus's own weapon summoning power. His six weapons include a war hammer , a bow and arrow ( 20 arrows), a spear that has an incredibly sharp head a rapier ( his most skillful weapon based on it being his original fighting style but abandoned it due to its weak cutting power), a large battle axe that is made out of celestial bronze and offers the second highest base power out of his entire arsenal and finally a large rectangular shield that covers his upper body and is his strongest defense. His entire arsenal is made out of celestial bronze, but only his rapier is colored black.
