Description

A character for :icondemigod-rising:

Name: Arthur Dearely
Age: 14
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 123 lbs
Race: Demigod
Sex: Male
God-parent: Athena
Mortal Parent(s): Johnathan Dearely
Powers: Strategy. Arthur can come up with a plan fairly quickly. He has a 80% fail rate. Whether or not his strategy works depends on how hard he concentrates while formulating it. Anything that may distract him while he's thinking will more than affect his plan or make him forget key elements that would help or hinder his strategy. To compensate for this, Arthur walks around areas and notes things down so he will not forget. (Note: He has not been to every part of the camp, nor does he have any notes of the outside of the camp, leaving the battle strategy completely up to what he can remember or observe in a about 10-20 minutes)
Weapon: None
Personality: Arthur is very quiet and socially awkward. He normally keeps to himself and in the library, with his nose in a book, or outside somewhere, observing his surroundings. He is very polite to pretty much everyone and rarely raises his voice. There are times however that, if pushed enough, he will respond back fiercely.
Flaw: Gullible. Even though he's very smart, he has a hard time reading emotions and facial expressions, causing him to believe just about anything.
Backstory: Arthur's father was an up and coming journalist. The problem was that he couldn't find a job that would keep him. He met Athena one day while out on one of his story leads. Johnathan, somewhat entranced with her, asked to meet her again, eventually causing the two to fall in love, and Athena helped Johnathan to land a job with the New York Times. One day, however, a baby boy appeared on his doorstep along with a note from Athena explaining why she had to leave and that this child was her gift to him- Arthur Dearely.
For Arthur, growing up was a bit difficult. His spontaneous and eccentric father was always off on some lead or other. Sometimes Arthur would tag along and learn the trade of reporting, but most times wasn't able to as the lead would be out of states. Mainly Arthur would spend his time in his father's library reading books or, more than often, looking over every detail in the house and writing about it.
Johnathan enrolled Arthur into a private school for a few years (until he was 7) before the tuition became too much for his salary and he eventually moved his son to a public school. Not even a year passed and Arthur began to come home in tears or with a bloodied lip. Because he was so quiet and such a bookworm, some of the boys at school thought it would be funny to roughen him up a bit. Johnathan immediately pulled Arthur out of school. He decided to home school his son, but soon found that most of what he had to teach, Arthur had learned on his own.
On those trips when he had to leave town, Johnathan would hire a nanny to watch over his son, who read and wrote more over the years. On one such trip, however, when Arthur was 13, Johnathan came home to discover his home had been attacked by monsters. Distraught and too afraid to leave his son alone, Johnathan immediately took up the offer when a postcard for Camp Halfblood, mysteriously with no return address, appeared in the mail. Arthur was hesitant to leave, but eventually his father persuaded him that it was for his own good.
Other Info:
:bulletblue: Arthur is very nervous around girls his age.
:bulletblue: He is often seen carrying lots of papers and notebooks.
:bulletblue: He is still learning how to fight, but, being the son of Athena, the Goddess of Battle Strategy, he's getting the hang of it pretty quickly.
