Personality:
Ryan has always had little time for people he didn't know. Even as a child he kept to herself, spending more time alone then with the children who shunned him anyway. Instead of being broken by this he learned to become independent early on. As his mother's only child she had her undivided attention and she was the only one he cared for. Even without his ADHD he proved quite wild and individual. He had little concern for what anyone thought about him except his mother. As he grew and they spent less time together things became a little more difficult. He enjoys solitude and more so in the cold, when most people would look for company and warmth. With unusual routine he is more active in the evening, after the sun sets.

Despite his coldness he is very practical and resourceful, beneath his calm exterior his mind works with a dark cunning. In a way he is uncaring, not willing to share his knowledge and time with others, sometimes to the extent of cruelty. He is just not adverse to causing suffering, even to those he barely knows. Seeing another in pain, or even himself, fills him with mixed feelings. A thrill runs up his spine as he seems to drink it it. Typically this is the only time he is seen smiling, a rare and frightful sight. Yet always there is a piece of humanity gripping on, keeping him from reveling in death and destruction. Whether or not he is an evil person is debatable, cruel and careless yet at times she would go out of his way to do good.

He holds a smoldering dislike for gods and any that seem to support them without being aware of their true nature. He will never take a god's words or intentions at face value. He somewhat resents those who are parts of broken families, depending on who is actually guilty. This is of course the reason for his dislike for the gods, who break the families of their children. Aphrodite is the target a most of his hate seeing as she is the goddess of love and, as he has heard, enjoys twisting and destroying relationship. When it comes to his father, there is still hate. Hades abandoned him and his mother and even sired other children of roughly the same age, yet there is a small amount of respect for the god who has made little actions to counter that. Normally he doesn't mix well but he is also naturally distrusting, only a few have gained his affection, his mother being the only one who remains in his life. To actually get to know him personally is an icy precipice in the first place, one which most people avoid. Except for animals, he cares more for animals then he would for most people since they don't really have an understanding of trust or betrayal



History:
Being a child of Hades typically has a negative affect on one's childhood. Very few children wanted to be be near him, certainly teachers and parents dissuaded it in the background. To many he oozed menace and seemed to be a bad luck charm. The fact he appeared native american in descent didn't help, indeed others viewed him as some sort of ancient curse. His mother was descended from the Sioux tribe, but the blood was diluted with each generation he had next to no connection with his heritage, other then his name which ironically translated to 'white'. Even without his aura he would have found it difficult to find friends in the small town. His ADHD and dyslexia causing no end to his difficulties. Eventually his nature got him expelled from school. His grades were atrocious, no one liked him and he got into fights should anyone push him too far, laughing as he beat his opponent down.

He began to mull as he grew. Becoming accustomed to the solitude and less responsive to the harassment he faced. He was far more mature then most his age. For a time he was happy because his mother was happy, her only displeasure was that he didn't have any friends. He didn't care, being with his mother was enough. Even that began to fade eventually, perhaps it was the pressure at work or just memories of happier times but they drifted apart. She began to look at him with sad eyes and tell him how much he looked like his father. Any questions about Skah's heritage stopped there though, all he knew was that his father had to leave for work and he would return to take them with him. If he had known about his father's nature at the time he would've been concerned, yet he just began to dislike this absent figure. The one who abandoned them but still managed to destroy the only relationship the boy had. In time his mother became more distracted, accident prone and simply lost. Skah gave up any hopes of continuing high school and got a full time job after she lost her own.

He eventually realized what was on his mother's mind all the time. She wanted to see his father again, so desperately that she was prepared to go the afterlife before her time. An overdose of sleeping pills almost killed her, instead she was comatose barely kept alive without life support machines. The doctors said that physically she was sound. Mentally she was broken and apparently didn't want to wake. Skah struggled to make a living for the next year, never giving up on her her. If he wasn't sullen enough already, things became much worse. Skah blamed his father for all of this. From his youth strange things had always happened around him, he never had anyone to share this with. Even his mother was kept in the dark, a small fear that should she know she would become a target. This didn't save her in the end, the monsters came for him and she was an immobile victim. If not for the sudden, uncontrolled release of his powers and the arrival of an 'ally' he would've died himself.

Still, he had managed to raze most of a apartment block and ultimately had no choice but to leave. He had unleashed a whole new world and this person held the answers. He was introduced to Olympus Academy, the existence of the greek gods and the nature of his father. Perhaps it was a bit late in his life at 17 and it takes him far longer than a year to adapt to the life.


Anything else: He has still not met Hades in person. His mother believed she could see ghosts. He wants a pet snake and cat.
