Character Name
Alexander ‘Alec’ Lowell

Age
18

Parent
Ares

Weapon(s)
Prefers his celestial bronze tipped javelin (‘Calixtus’ he calls it—not after the psychotic pope, just because he thought the name was cool), but can work with any other weapon well enough.

Ability
Mimicry: a rare gift picked up from his dad. Alec is capable of replicating other people’s moves or techniques perfectly after observing them doing it. After watching, like, EVERY SINGLE action movie ever created film ever released, Alec’s mastered several forms of martial arts, fencing, and can wield many exotic weapons expertly, ranging from axes to boomerangs.

Empathy: but not in the way that you would normally expect. When Alec is confused, irritated, or feeling helpless, he unconsciously fiddles with peoples’ feelings of anger and hatred. This is similar to the way Percy felt when meeting Ares for the first time in The Lightning Thief. Alec has had serious trouble getting control over it in the past, but nowadays, slip-ups hardly ever happen.

Interrogation scene
“When did you start working for Kronos?” asked a familiar voice. He couldn’t see the man’s features because of the gods’ damned lamp in his face, but Alec could recognize Jesse’s voice from anywhere.
Alec pulled angrily at the cuffs that kept him from beating his former friend’s face in.
“How many times have we gone over this? For the last time, Jesse, I’M NOT WORKING FOR THE FREAK. What the Hades is wrong with you people?”

“Have you given him any inside information?”
“IS NO ONE LISTENING TO ME?!” Alec yelled loud enough for the guards standing by the doors to peer inside agitatedly. He glared up at where he assumed his councillor’s face would be.
“If this is some kind of sick, practical joke, I swear to Zeus, I’m not afraid to beat your face in when this is all figured out.” ‘...that was probably not the smartest thing to say in this situation,’ the rational voice in his mind piped up. ‘Yah? well I think I’m entitled, so SHUT UP.’

Alec heard Jesse sigh. “Listen, Alec. You’re only making things worse for yourself. Just tell us why would you betray Olympus. Especially after everything we've been through...” his voice trailed off.
Alec’s fists were clenched so tight he felt blood well up under his fingernails.
“You want to know why, Jess? The truth?”
He felt the man shift in his seat, his eyes glinting for a moment from behind the lamp.
“I’ll tell you the truth.”
Alec slammed his fists on the table, causing his interrogator to jump.
“UP YOURS. ‘Cause I already TOLD you gods’ damnit! I didn't do a gods' damned thing! ...And you know what? SCREW ZEUS, SCREW ARES, SCREW OLYMPUS. I’m SICK of this! You know what side of the war I fought on, cause YOU FOUGHT RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME.”

Bio
Alec’s mother, Irena, met Ares at a bar, after he and Irena’s earlier boyfriend decided to fight to see who got the girl. Obviously, Ares remained unscathed, and thus Alec was born. Things went pretty well for a while, Ares actually visiting and at one point living with the two. But, of course, things couldn’t last. Ares disappeared. His mother took it well enough though, not wasting any time to find herself a cage fighter named Troy. Not long after, Alec’s sister Anna was born. And they were happy. Troy was faithful, believe it or not, and brought home enough to support his family. Things started going downhill, however, when Alec hit puberty. And with puberty, came uncontrolled powers. Suddenly, his parents seemed to be getting angrier and more irritated. More shouts and slamming doors. Then came the serious abuse. It wasn’t long till Alec realized he couldn’t stay in the household, that soon enough, their violence would turn to him and his sister. So, one night, he packed his and his sister’s bags and left. Living on the streets was rough, but Alec pushed along. After two years of hanging around homeless shelters, and working at McDonald’s, Anna disappeared. Just vanished. Alec didn’t take it very well. It was only until he discovered Camp Half-Blood and they took him in did he finally feel he could move on. Still, there was no one out there like Anna...

It’s been three years since Alec had arrived at the Camp. He’s gained a reputation of someone not to be messed with, but doesn’t often join in with his other siblings’ love for bullying campers (well, sometimes, if he’s been having an especially bad day...).
