| 5:42p | Basic Information Basic InformationFor centuries, the Greek Gods have been living in the guise of Western Thought. Where ever the center of that was, their world shifted to accommodate with their new center. Now, the center of Western Thought is centered around the United States. Mount Olympus is found on top of the Empire State Building. The entrance to the Underworld is found in Los Angeles. Hephaestus's Forge is found in Mount St. Helens. The Greek Gods continue to mess around in mortals, sometimes in more ways than one. Monsters still walk among humans but thanks to a phenomenon known as The Mist, they see only what they want to see. Half-blood children are born with remarkable abilities similar to their divine parent. Many of them made history. However, these children who usually end up being pawns for the gods, are hunted by the monsters of chaos. Many do not live very long. Few make it to people like Chiron who enjoyed teaching such individuals to fight and to develop their abilities. Finally, Chiron settled down on Long Island, New York to put together a training camp to offer protection and skills for the demi-gods. This place has the cover as a summer camp that is opened year 'round, known as Camp Half-Blood. Some children stayed all year, especially the ones who were children of very powerful deities or those who ran away from home because no one understood them. Some, especially those of not very powerful deities, went home for the winter. Shortly after World War II, a prophecy came forth that a half-blood child of the big three deities (Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades) would bring down Mount Olympus. Fearing for their power, the brothers swore on the River Styx to not have anymore half-blood children. Hades, already having two half blood children before the oath, hid Nico and Bianca Di Angelo in Las Vegas. For close to 4 decades, the brothers behaved themselves until Zeus fell for a 1980's pop singer. A girl resulted in that union who was named Thalia. Seeing that his brother broke the oath, Poseidon fell in love with Sally Jackson in NYC. Sally gave birth to a boy named Perseus or Percy. Thalia ran away from home when she was ten years old and met up with a child of Athena, Annabeth Chase, and a child of Hermes, Luke Castellan. The three went on a crazy adventure before making it to Camp Half-Blood. Thalia was turned into a tree while she lay dying to protect Luke and Annabeth. When Percy Jackson arrived at the camp, the shit began to hit the fan. On his first summer at Camp Half-Blood, Luke betrayed the camp and joined sides with Cronos on a quest to bring down the Olympians. Thalia came back his second year at the camp as they placed the Golden Fleece on the tree. The following year, Nico and Bianca joined the Camp while Bianca joined Artemis's huntresses and died on a quest to save Annabeth and Artemis from Luke. Thalia also joined the Huntresses before she turned 16 so she would not become the child of the prophecy. The brewing war came to the camp through the Labyrinth which had an entrance that led to the camp. A fierce battle took place. The head of the Apollo Cabin, Lee Fletcher, was killed along with a child of Dionysus, Castor. The camp is still in the process of recovering. At the end of the summer, Percy, Annabeth, Grover the Satyr, and Nico Di Angelo have left on a quest to bring down Luke and Cronos. However, the camp is still in danger of attacks. Cronos's forces are spread along the world wreaking havoc and acquiring age old secrets and artifacts. The Olympians still need their precious half-bloods to be heroes... Current Mood:  cheerful |
