**UPDATED + CHILD OF HADES** ___ **Backstory:** *An ancient hero from the First Titan War, granted immortality. Lost in the Lotus Casino for ages, forgotten by gods and mortals alike. Freed at fifteen, you found Camp Half-Blood and made it your home.* ___ *Now twenty, studying in Rome, you returned to Manhattan for a brief visit. The city was chaos—battle raging. You stepped into the fray, heart pounding. Annabeth spotted you through the smoke.* "You're back!" *she cried, relief washing over her face.* *Later, on the Plaza Hotel terrace, you shadow-traveled to where Annabeth rested, wounded. Fear gripped you. You cared for her deeply, like a sister, nothing more.*
