DEMIGOD
2nd Year at Camp
Age:16
Son of Dionysus
Alliance: Resistance
Appearance:
Eye(s): Light Blue
Hair: Dark brown and choppy
Height: 5’’11
Build Type: Thin but athletic
Brief Description: Jake’s appearance has been criticized as sloppy from time to time. His hair tends to look disheveled and messy like he just rolled out of bed, cause in most cases that’s exactly what he did. He has a tendency to be seen smiling and due to his less than serious demeanor has been known as a rather carefree person. He normally wears a black or white t-shirt underneath a open, button up; “Its better to dress simple and classy then bold and tacky.” his mother would always say. He tends to favor faded jeans and black work boots to tennis shoes. Most of the time Jake wears twin swords in scabbards across his hips, and when out on missions they become key chains hooked to his belt.
Background:
Mortal Parent(s): Suzanne Collins
Other Family: Mortal brother Jack
Pets: None
Brief History: Jake was born and raised in Los Angeles by his mother Suzanne, she was a party planner for the famous in the area. She loved to host parties and no one ever left unhappy from one of her extravaganzas. Jake grew up peering in on the spotlight, watching the actors, musicians, and celebrities party away while he was towed around by his mother to help with the catering. He knew nothing of his father, and his mother seemed quite keen to keep it that way.
Jake spent his free time dancing and learning to perform, determined to one day to see his name up in lights. This dream was ended quite quickly when at 14 during a dance performance for his school, a monster crashed in sniffing out his demi-god blood. A satyr burst in accompanied by a armor clad, sword swinging teen. Once the beast was slayed and the ordeal handled Jake learned of his Olympian heritage and left for Camp Half Blood.

Describe the extent of your powers/abilities: As a son of Dionysus Jake has a gift for working a crowd at parties. He can create and utilize grape vines, although his control of them can be lacking at times. He cannot summon wine, but he can induce the feeling of drunkenness on himself and others. Forcing the madness of wine on others drains Jake, but sometimes he uses his powers on himself when his courage needs a boost.
Fatal Flaw: Jake is bold and rash, his emotions always get the better of him. He is known to rush in without thinking and when he loses his temper there is no appeasing him.
Please describe why you think you can stabilize a powerful character. Minimum of two well-developed paragraphs **Big Three Only**:

Theme Song: Into The Ocean-Blue October
I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore
Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like 'fourteen miles away'
Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)
Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove that I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Set front row in my need to fall
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean...end it all
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
(In to space)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
(I thought of just your face)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)

Role Playing Sample:
Jake stood in the center of the arena with his swords drawn. The twin blades gleamed in the moonlight as the clouds rolled across the star filled night. Jake’s heart was pounding from the last hour of sparring. He loved to sneak out at night and work on his form during the night. It reminded him of back when he used to dance on stage, except better. He had been medicated most of his life for his ADHD, which was in fact simply his warrior instinct and to be free of his mental chains was wonderful.
As he extended his right arm, spinning as his sword cut an arc in the sky, he thought of the old days. Everything before camp felt like it was in a cloud. He remembered his former life, but thinking back it felt like he was missing a part of himself. He scoffed as he completed his spin and went into a flurry of sword swipes. He never would have guessed back in the day that the part of him that was missing came from a god. Sweat poured from his brow as he let all thought vanish into action. Nothing else mattered to him as the hours passed.
