Mortal Parent(s): (at least one)

Brief History:
Like most Demi Gods, their mortal parent falls in love with a enchanting god, who steals their heart away. Derik and Allyson�s mother was such a mortal. When she met their father, she was in her second year residenting at Houston Medical Center.
How she came about to meeting Apollo? He decided to plop his Young and handsome like self down at her table, which got them talking. They soon dated, when they reached almost a year mark. Lizbeth, their mother, found out she was pregnant. And later on they were even more happy to hear they were having twins, but the happiness would only last so long. For both Apollo and Lizbeth knew that soon after the twins were born. They wouldn�t know who their true father was, because he would have to leave.
Then the time came on that one hot afternoon in July, Lizbeth went into labor. Having one 6 pound 9 ounce little girl and a 7 pound 1 ounce boy. Whom they named Allyson and Derik. For the first week, Apollo helped Lizbeth get back on her feet. Spending the first and last days with his children. And when he left he smiled before glittering off into the sunlight.
Lizbeth soon moved on to a man named Henry, who soon grew to be the twin�s father. And thats how he treated them, like any father would to his own flesh and blood. He always wondered about the father of the children, but never asked. Hoping one day his wife would speak about their father.
When Allyson and Derik turned 4, they started showing far advanced abilities in the arts. Allyson with Poetry, and Derik towards singing. Henry was impressed and proud at the young childrens abilities often braggin at work about it.
When the twins were old enough to go to school, Allyson came attached by the hip to her brother, everywhere he would go Allyson was there. Derik didn�t really mind he liked being able to protect her when needed. The only real time they seperated from eachother was when they were put on far opposite sides of the room, there Teachers tried everything to keep the two from running them into the mad house. Which the ADHD and Dyslexia didn�t help much. The only time their teachers relaxed was when they were working on music or the arts.
As the two grew older, they seperated more finding friends it was just that he didn�t have a person following him twenty four seven.
Then one fateful day, this very year. Something changed his life forever. His sister camed home with a half man half goat thing. Which the day got weirder as his mother started explaining the story of how they weren�t normal and how their father had left them (abandoned them in Derik�s opinon). It took a while for him to believe that he Derik Redding was the son of Apollo the Greek god.
Her mother then decided it was best to send them off to some camp with the saytr and said that they should stay their long term. Gave them hugs and they were off. It really didn�t sit right with Derik. His father just...leaving him? and his sister? AND his mother?
The arrival at camp was more then he bargained for he heard that there was a rebellion happening against mount olympus... He joined finding it unfair how they get abandoned, how their fates are screwed up. Now the only thing was to get his sister to see the same way.
Personality: Derik is on the surface, nice and a little rough around the edges. But, deep down this boy has lots of daddy issues. He is more then a little overprotective of his fraternal twin sister. He has been known to intimidate guys that tend to date his sister. Not only that but he tends to be protective over those he loves. Derik does have soft spot. He�s not that big old rough grouch who will eat you if you get on his nerves.
This being said. Don�t get on his bad side. Or you�ll be picking up your entrails from here to timbuck too. Stay on the good side and you will have the funny and honest friend and companion.

Describe the extent of your powers/abilities:
Fatal Flaw:
I guess his fatal flaw would be his sister. He's just too attached, if she was to go away or get to seriously hurt, he would go balistic. Maybe he needs to try to find someone else to be overprotective of.
Theme Song:
Sick Puppies- Asshole father
I waited for you yesterday
I waited and missed the last train
I waited to say that I'd fallen in love with your way
I waited for you yesterday
Eventually walked home in the rain
I waited to see if you felt the same for me
But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your asshole father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
I waited for minds to change
Pointing their fingers of blame
It's not my fault you're ashamed of how you feel
But you don't,
And you won't
Go against your asshole father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
Cause you don't
Just admit it
Cause you won't
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
Just admit it
I called you a whore and broke down your door
But you don't even hate me!
And how could I heal when you won't even feel?
Why won't you hate me?!
But you don't and you won't
Go against your asshole father
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?
But you don't cause your nothing but
Broken down daddy's little daughter
AREN'T CHA?!!
Going broke,
Quitting dope
For your folks
Why did I even bother?
Why did I?

Role Playing Sample:
The wind around them rustled, the trees billowed, the leaves bustled all around not having a certain direction. Heather�s hair whipped in her face as the rain pelted down. She stood their quietly and it seemed as though they were the only two people in the world. The air around them so violent, didn�t matter. The trees that creaked and billowed were still and quiet. The ground that was soggy beneath their shoes were warm grassy plains. And the sky was a bright blue with no clouds. The birds were chirping and it was as though the eart had decided to give Heather one more chance.
She smiled, and quietly she stood on her tip toes and moved closer towards Nathan, she layed her left hand on his chest feeling the steady beat of heart, her right hand held her hair out of her face. Heather leaned closer the breath passing between their lips was warm, and then their lips collided passionatly. Heather didn�t need to say the words I love you. It was all in the kiss, she didn�t need to say take me back and I�m sorry.
She broke the kiss too smile, �Our first kiss in the rain.....check.�
