Weapon/Armor**: Nathan before he got to camp was very into the Elder Scrolls series and loved the Nightingale Armor and Weapons that was obtained through Thieves guild mission. Because of his advocation for this specific armor and weapons designed the same way, he planned his own making of the armor and weapons and with the help of Hephaestus kids made his own Nightingale armor, bow, and two stygian iron nightingale swords, his arrows for his bow are a mix of cb and stygian iron tipped arrows

Armor:

Blade:

Bow:

Personality: Cocky, confident, and quite annoying. Nathan is one that enjoys causing trouble just for a reaction and doesn't have a problem fighting people if they think they can win. Now this may make him sound dumb, but he isn't. Nathan is actually intelligent and knows when to actually take up a fight.  More often than not, he doesn't even bother with a fight because it's too much trouble to actually take up the challenge. But he again, doesn't mind a fight when he has to. On top of this, having a mother whom is the goddess of ghosts, he's fearless because he doesn't see a reason to be afraid of the world when he knows exactly what he is getting out of death.

Fatal Flaw: Some would say there Cockyness is there fatal flaw, but that's just part of his charm, no, Nathan's fatal flaw is his lack of fear. Because he has no fear he just doesn't know when to truly step down and give up.  
Flaws: His annoying tendencies, his cocky attitude, and his lack of care towards people can all be counted as things that are "wrong" with Nathan to him he's quite the excellent person.

Powers(must relate to god parent; optional): Melinoe is a rather unknown goddess. But that doesn’t mean she’s got no powers. So therefore here’s what Nathan’s inheritance is xD

Umbrakinesis:
-As with the standard of underworld kids. Nathan gets to shadow teleport. This is very simple for him to do and requires next to no effort on his part because of how frequently he uses it. Therefore his has a 6 post limit(meaning he can do it once in each of 6 posts, or more than once adding up to 6 in less posts) with a 4 post cooldown limit.

Necromancy:
-Nathan is capable of killing Skeleton Warriors as well as summoning Undead soldiers to help him fight in battle. He can summon up to 10 per post with a 3 post limit. He has a 2 post cool down limit. THe undead soldiers are not very strong and can be taken out with a fatal wound or just by bashing them in with a blunt object.


Life Before CHB*: Nathan's life is somewhat....simple..but difficult at the same time. Nathan's father Michael was born in Italy and grew up there, having a young wife and a daughter named Sarah. The thing is, when Sarah was 3 years old, her mother got into a terrible accident that she was unable to survive. At the funeral, Michael met a woman that called herself Charlotte. Charlotte didn't state much, just that she was there to watch the passing and then be on her way, however Michael and Charlotte kept in touch after that day, something about the mysterious woman intriguing the Italian widower. After some time, the two became a couple and dated for sometime before Charlotte found herself pregnant.

Charlotte became somewhat bipolar after this, trying to stay with Michael often but at the same time growing ever distant. Soon Michael confronted her sometime 6 months into the pregnancy and with a heavy heart Charlotte revealed herself to be the Greek goddess of ghost, Melinoe. Sarah was 4 at the time and prone to eavesdropping so she heard the conversation about how Charlotte had to leave after her half brother was born. Sarah couldn't help but run down, begging Melinoe to stay and be with them, but Melinoe said that she had no choice, she said that she did it to protect them from horrid things that could happen if someone like her stayed around.

Sarah didn't like what she heard but she had grown attached to the goddess as a fill in mother for the one that she had lost so early in life. She ran to her room and cried the night away, falling asleep in tears. Michael was stronger with the news but he hurt as much as his daughter did, losing two women in his life so soon between each other. It was hard for him to be strong. Melinoe comforted him as he accepted the news and like the blink of an eye Melinoe had given birth to their son, Nathan. And then like a breathe in the wind, she was gone, as if she had never been there at all.

After this, Michael felt it best if he moved to Venice. His parents and much of his side of either of his children's families lived there and it would be better to raise them in a place where he knew they had someone looking after them, making them feel protected since he felt like he failed at keeping them together.

During the early years up till Nathan was 6, he spent his days at his grandparents house while his father went to work and his sister went to school. Then she would come home and finish her work then they would play games together either in or outside depending on the weather. Then Nathan joined the travel to school feature, though he found it harder for him to learn. Given his ADHD and Dyslexia, he couldn't stay calm and had trouble reading and writing, so he had to work twice as hard to do half the work other kids in his age group were doing. This made him feel like he was...different..and not in the good way either. He felt like he was gaining strange watchers that waited to ridicule him with his problems.

Because of this feeling Nathan got into trouble, picking fights with other kids that he thought were out to make him feel bad. After too many warnings with these fights, Nathan was pulled out of school by Michael and for the time he was homeschooled by his father and his aunt who were more patient and kept him free of public eyes. This however started to show it's faults as he and Sarah both got older. by the time he was 9, he had become more cocky and rambunctious, causing trouble and messing with his 13 year old sister. When he and Sarah went out together, going through the town, he would wander off, climbing up buildings and swimming across the canals in the only clothes that he had to wear at the time which were what he wore when he jumped in.

On top of this, he felt no fear in doing any of this, no regrets or fear of harm, or persecution. It was like something in his head was telling him to go ahead that there was nothing to be afraid of, that no matter what he would always be alright. He couldn't explain it, but he knew the voice in his head was right and he figured it was his own voice. Regardless he grew up to 14 and got in even more trouble than when he was 9. He had grown to sneaking out and making most of the night time in Venice. And with that came the well acquaintance visits with Michael from the cops. By the time Nathan was 14 he couldn't begin to count the numerous times the cops brought him home, in fact it was because of this that his father got him an Xbox 360, some games, including his favored Skyrim game, and his black cat that Nathan named Specter. Michael and the cops and Nathan's grandparents felt that giving him games to play and a pet to take care of would occupy Nathan's time, however it didn't do much, Nathan took care of the cat and he played the mess out of Skyrim, but it didn't keep him out of trouble near enough.

It was because of this, and the fact that Sarah and Nathan were attacked by a hellhound that they narrowly escaped because the best lost it's gripping to the concrete ground due to a large spilling in one of the local outdoor markets that had the beast tumbling into the waters of the canals in Venice, that Michael and his grandparents concluded that they would go to America. Nathan, Sarah being 18 decided to stay in Italy, already knew how to speak English so it wouldn't be hard at all for the 14 year old to adjust. Packing his games and some clothes, as well as his pet cat, he and his father went to Manhattan,  New York. It was on the way to Manhattan that Nathan turned 15 and his father explained his parentage to him, and he also explained that before she left she had told his father about the apartments in Manhattan that always had room and were close as possible to Camp Half-Blood where Michael told Nathan that he was going. Michael explained to him that Camp had others just like him there, special people that did amazing things, he explained that Nathan may not be allowed to keep his games and made no promises, but he did say that Specter was free to keep with him there, and he also explained that Nathan would never be alone because his mother had other children.

To all of this explaining came the question of why Sarah didn't come if she was like him as well...with a heavy heart, Michael told Nathan about how Sarah wasn't like Nathan and that she was just normal...he also explained to Nathan why Sarah's mother never came around. Nathan felt bad for his older sister after that but he could always feel that her mother was safe and sound in the Underworld, not suffering anymore. At least that's what he felt and he just had to believe that he was right.

After finally arriving, Michael applied for citizenship for him and Nathan and also gave his son a good year to adjust to life in America before they went to camp, though Michael met a satyr...or at least he hoped he had hoped he met one, but felt relieved when the half-man, half-goat came to their home and immediately revealed himself for what he was, soon after they got there because the satyr sniffed out Nathan's godly blood and the satyr stayed with them at the apartment for the year to help prepare Nathan for life at camp. Nathan didn't appear surprised by the appearance, after he played Skyrim and other games from that type of genre so he was pretty ready to accept anything that he was going to see at the camp.

Finally, Nathan had turned 16 and the longer year had passed, Michael and Nathan had become US Citizens and the satyr led them to camp. As a final farewell, Michael left Nathan with a hug, some tears and a final gift that Melinoe had given Michael to keep clean, and safe long before Nathan was born. Two small cases of Stygian Iron. Michael told Nathan that they could be used to make weapons and immediately his son smiled at the thought of what he could do with the cases of metal, Michael also had told Nathan that his mother left it for him before he was born because it was extremely hard to come by except in a place that she hoped Nathan would not have to visit before his time.

With a final hug goodbye, Michael climbed in his car and drove away and Nathan found his home at camp. He's been there now for a year, and what a year he's made of it.

RP Example*: Nathan felt himself get dragged to the ground, tumbling on top of Chiara. Unfortunately that wasn't all that could be said that happened. First to be told was that in the position he fell, John's strike to Chiara's sword hand was blocked by his arm, which left him with a stinging cutting. As for the other thing well...easiest to say is that gravity is terrible at jokes. There on the ground, Nathan found himself with his lips pressed against Chiara's, an accidental kiss but still and yet a kiss indeed. Nathan pulled away as quickly as he realized what had happened, but given getting hit upon his fall it wasn't immediate and when he pulled away he found a mix of rush, shock, and the need to flee before she strangled him. Vanishing quickly, the spear being left by her side, he stood there, spitting onto the ground as if trying to get rid of the taste of her lips.

'Don't act like you didn't enjoy it.' 'What? No, just no..' 'It's better than when you woke up with her in your arms in that hotel..' 'Dear gods, no. It's just not right at all..' He mentally debated as he tried to get back to the fight, knowing full well that Chiara wasn't going to leave without burying that spear in his chest and lopping his head off with that xiphos.

Any notes about your characters:

Denied.

It's finished

Moved the topic.

• Why does it say Austin in some parts of the form? (Cf: fatal flaw, flaws)
• Bump up the shadow-traveling cooldown to 4 posts

Rest sucks.
