Brief History:
Alexander Judge was a very well known lawyer working for an expensive law firm in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was known for dening brides, refusing to represent murders and rapists, and only worked for the process of justice and not for personal gain. This attracted the attention of Themis, the goddess of justice, who was impressed with his comitment to the legal system. Taking the form of a young blind woman, Themis showed herself to ALexander and the two began dating. Due to their respective responsiblities, the two lovers never saw much of each other and so they made the most of any moment they could be together. A few months later, Themis revealed to Alexander that not only was she a Greek goddess, but she was pregnant with his child. Although Themis suggested that she could raise the child on Olympus, Alexander wanted his unborn child to live a normal mortal life and insited that it live with him. The baby was born healthy, but the child had inherited his mother's blind, milky-white eyes. So before giving the boy away to his father, Themis granted the child the ability to see the auras, or life energies, of all living creatures.
Alexander taught his son about the importance of justice, and how fairness, equality, and concideration trumped all else. He also told him about his abnormal sense and told his to never let anybody else know about it. He soon married a kind and respectable woman named Sandra Liet to give his son a mother figure. Sandra was a kind soul, but after she gave birth to to a son named Jacob, she barely gave her blind step-child any attention. Despite this Justin had a happy childhood and became a great student in school( since he can't 'read' and relies on braille, he doesn't suffer from dyslexia). Although he never told anyone about his ability to sense auras, he used it to do things that blind children never would. He could play sports, and even beat some of the more athleic children, keep eye contact with people he talks to, and even know what people were doing behind his back. Some people claimed that Justin was only pretending to be blind, but numerous doctor visits proved that his eyes lacked any ability to see anything.
On Justin's tenth birthday, he was playing at his school's playground during recess when his life took a complete 180 degree turn. A young woman working as a teaching assistant at the school asked to see Justin inside for a few minutes. Justin didn't want to go because the woman's aura looked different from everyone else's, it was sinister looking and almost looked like it was made of fire, but he couldn't tell his teacher about his ability so he went with the woman. Once they were in an empty classroom, the woman attacked Justin, revealing herself to be an empousa. Justin tried holding her of with his white cane, but the thin stick didn't stand a chance against the demon. It was then that he felt the cane become harder, heavier, and shaper. He sensed the his plastic cane change into a brone blade, and with a desperate slash, he cut right through the empousa, causing her to explode in a cloud of dust. As Justin caught his breath from the exitment and terror, he felt the sword become a cane once again. It was then he sensed a strange energy above, a faint silvery-light that took the shape of a pair of scales before disappearing. Not knowing what to do, Justin ran straight home.
He told his father about everything that happened, the monster, the sword, and the symbol above his head. His father knew why this happened to his son and told him everything about his mother. Justin found it hard to believe that his mother was a greek goddess, but this father had never lied to him before and so he believed him. He also explained that his cane was another gift from his mother and could take the shape of a celestial bronze blade whenever he needed it to. It was then that they were visited by a boy that Justin recongized from his school and, like the monster lady who attacked him, had an unusual aura. The boy turned out to be a satyr and told Justin and his father about a place called Camp Half-Blood. Knowing that his son would only be atacked even more offten from then on, Mr. Judge agreed to let him attend during the summer, even giving him a German Shepherd seeing-eye dog whom he named Remus. Just has spent every summer since at the camp, becoming a strong sword-weilding warrior, using his ability to see auras to his advantages in battle. Justin has also collected a magical artifacts as presents from his mother. These include a magical collar for his dog that gives him human intelligence and a longer lifespan. He also has a "Get-Out-of-Jail-Fee" Monopoly card which can use the Mist to get him out of trouble with police and other law enforcment, an invaluable tool to use on snooping mortals after a monster attack. Justin wishes to go on a quest to prove himself to his campmates and anybody else who look down on him because of his blindness.
Personality:
Justin is like the law; firm, strong, serious, and unyeilding. He can't stand overly playful individuals and can almost seem emotionless sometimes. His idea of playing and funning fun is training with his sword and dualing with others. He enjoys his peace and quiet prefering to lay next to the camp's lake and enjoy the wind rather than spend time in his noisy cabin. The only individual he enjoys really 'playing' with is his dog, Remus, a gift from his father. Justin has a strong sense of justice and feels that it's his duty to either reward good-doers or punish rule-breakers, which can lead to some conflict from the Hermes cabin. He likes talking with members of the the Athena, Apollo, and Hephaetus cabins, but 'dislikes' the Ares and Aphrodite cabins.

Describe the extent of your powers/abilities:
Aura Sense- Granted to him by Themis when he was born, Justin can sense the life energies of living things and even magical objects.
Lie Detector- Whenever somwone tells Justin a lie, he feels a faint buzzing at the back of his skull. This doesn't work if the person doesn't know that they're lying.
Mind of the Judge- Thinking up appropriate punishments come almost sencond nature to Justin. The ideas just seem to pop in his head.
Heart of Justice- Whenever Justin fights for a just cause in an important battle, his mother's power flows through him increasing his, strength, speed, and stamina. Works in reverse as well, his fight capabilities decrease if he fights for injustice. Works even if he doesn't know he's working against justice.
Fatal Flaw: Independence: Becuase of his blindness, Justin has always felt the need to prove himself to the world. To show people that he didn't need the help of anyone. It is almost impossible for Justin to ask for help even when he desperately needs it.

Role Playing Sample:
[quoteThe first beam of light from the morning sun shone though the entrance to Pride Rock and into the closed eyes of Kovu. He blinked from the sudden disturbance, and reluctantly shook the sleep from his eyes. He yawned and stretched his back and front legs, extracting and retracting his paws, before looking at the beautiful lioness still asleep at his side. Kovu smiled as Kiara's very presence filled his heart with the warm light of love, something he had never known before he knew her. He nuzzled her on the top of her head, softly as to not wake her up, and walked out of the den's entrance. As he watched the sunrise, Kovu thought back to how his life had improved from only a few weeks ago. He now had a true home, a pride that accepted him, a family, and a mate who returns the same feelings of love and devotion that he feels towards her. Though the death of his mother Zira and his brother Nuka still hung heavy on his heart and he mourned their loss, he had never been happier in his entire life. After few minutes of basking in the sun, Kovu returned to the den, where Kiara and the rest of his new family was waiting for him. [/quote]
