Looks
Hair:
It's a mess. Demitri has never been the neatest of fellows. He generally cuts it himself, as he can't be bothered to leave the forges when it gets in his eyes, so he's quite literally a mess. It's not that he's dirty, per se, but he doesn't go out of his way to make sure it's perfectly groomed when he's probably going to be putting on a helmet in the forges anyway to keep his eyes from burning out. Therefore, all of those things considered, his hair is a messy brown, cut in various lengths, and generally, unless he has recently showered and not been to the forges since (and since he practically lives there...) has some sort of ash or something in it.
Eyes:
He's supposed to wear reading glasses, but he doesn't. His eyes are a bright hazel color, unusual for a Hephaestus kid. He's got long eyelashes, which come in handy when he's squinting against the flames. Keeps stray ashes out, you know?
Height: Six feet even.
Weight: 180 lbs.
Picture: Click
Playby: Greyson Holt
Dressing Style:
When he's in the forges, he's usually in at least a long sleeve shirt, pants, and a pair of boots. Of course, the sleeves are usually rolled up, but whatever. Out of the forges, he's either still in those clothes and smelling strongly of smoke and hot metal, or he's in shorts and a t-shirt, depending on time of year. If it's not summer time and you catch him outside the forges, you're a lucky creature, as he hates the cold and would probably rather be in the forges or his bed.
General Appearance:
He probably gets some weird looks. He gives very little care to his own appearance, preferring to make sure his jobs are done and done right. His hands are usually dirty and he's normally got all manners of burns and marks on his hands and arms from stray sparks, but he's got thick enough skin that it doesn't really bother him unless it's liquid metal - that stuff hurts, and he will not hesitate to tell you that.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description:
Demitri's personality is nothing short of abstract. He's not really an intellectual, but he's not stupid by any means. He hates water, unless it's a shower, and then he's only okay if the water is super hot. He's a thoughtful person, despite not being outwardly loud or vocal. He doesn't like to fight, though he does know how - he would rather be in the forges than the arena any day. Most days, he's mild-mannered older-brother figure, willing to be involved in nearly anything and willing to talk to anyone. But on that same note, if you're rude to him or his sister or the rest of his siblings, he probably won't bother talking to you again. Actually, he'll probably hold a grudge and consider it worth it to get in trouble for giving you flawed weaponry in the arena. He'll protect his own at all costs.

- to come up with a better shield design and somehow figure out a more aerodynamic arrow head
- to someday, eventually, meet a girl
Powers:
- natural blacksmith;
as with most of his siblings, Demitri is a natural at his father's trade. This, paired with the fact that he practically lives in the forges (he's legit slept in there before) means he's rather formidable at the art of it.- flaw-finding;
when it comes to metal-work, Demitri has the unique ability to find flaws by sight alone. This makes it rather easy for him to pick the likely-to-break weapons and shields out of the piles and get them fixed up to usable standards.- heat/fire resistance;
while Demitri can be burned, the burns heal faster than say, a cut. He's also got increased heat tolerance, and is constantly warm. His average body temperature is about a hundred and four degrees - it was once a cause for concern with his mother, but it's a normal thing now.
Family and History
Personal History:
Anya Yrjana was a perfect daughter. She was a social butterfly, kept perfect grades, had all the right friends. She was a cheerleader in her Flordia high school, surfed in her free time. She was, to put in very simply, perfect. A pretty, dark haired girl whose family had immigrated from Russia three generations previous, she was the only daughter of her parents. The first of her entire family to go to college, the state university at Palm Beach seemed perfect. She was a cheerleader there as well, a first-year undeclared student, who still loved to surf. At least, until she lost the bottom half of her left leg to a basking shark. It wasn't provoked, but she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - another shark had gotten a metal hook shoved into it's underbelly. That hook was wripped out just after she'd fallen from her board, and the blood-frenzy that ensued cost her her leg.
Needless to say, she wasn't a cheerleader anymore. She was fitted with a prostehtic foot as soon as it was possible, and then people started urging her to get a desk job and drop out of school. She refused, and just to prove that she could, she got a degree in mechanical and electrical engineering. She never touched the ocean again, but she found something that she loved to do instead. She was a major fan of taking things apart and putting them back together, which was what she started doing. It started with computers, but slowly moved to bigger things, until she was even working on cars. She owned her own business, and things were good. That, of course, was when she met Hephaestus.
She got her son out of the deal, and seeing as how she had made up her mind never to get married in the first place (one too many men had blanced at the sight of her leg), she was happy. Life was uneventful until Hephaestus's next visit: Anya had a second child, a daughter whom she named Elana. Demitri was six at the time, and was positive (and has remained so for his whole life) that his father was the coolest god ever. Anya, having heard through the grapevine via Hephaestus that her children would be ADHD and dyslexic, chose to homeschool them, sending them to Camp Half Blood for the summers from age eight on. Elana has spent two summers there, while Demitri decided when he turned fifteen that he wanted to stay there year round. His mother disagreed at first, but when she came to realize that he wasn't just trying to be away from her, but that he just loved it there, she agreed.
Demitri has been at camp year-round since, save the two week span every four months that he goes back to Florida to visit with his mother. He was claimed his second week of his first summer, to his glee - he was finally let into the forges, which he loves.

And Finally...
I, Jeri, have made this entirely up. I did not rip somebody else’s application from any site, and have followed the rules accordingly.
And…? Yes.
