RP Sample:Pix sighed as she sat on a bench, rubbing the knuckles on one hand absentmindedly. She’d come out here to practice her fighting, but she wasn’t very good apparently. Then again hitting untrained, slovenly hobo’s was very different from beating on a dummy or fighting with someone who was trained. A few kids, who she’d recognized as children of Athena (she was STARTING to understand the differences now that she’d been here for a week, but she would probably never get them all down) had laughed at her form and started yelling jeering suggestions for her as she’d tried to work her muscles. She’d kept going until they left, but now her hands were sore, the skin on two of her knuckles had cracked and blood oozed out sluggishly.
Glancing down and watching it she couldn’t help but notice that blood was about the same color as a thick red wine. She wondered what her mother would say if she could see her now. Then again, what would her cousins say, or her uncle? She frowned, bringing the busted knuckles to her mouth and sucking the blood and sweat off without thinking about it. Her uncle, just the thought of him made the bile rise in her throat and brought a sour taste to her mouth, like wine that had been spoiled and turned to vinegar. She stood up then, ignoring the soreness in her muscles, and spat on the ground roughly before going over to a chest of practice weapons. Maybe they’d have brass knuckles, or bronze… whatever. She didn’t care, she just wanted to do some serious damage to something with her fists.Post from CHB with Spixii Warzhaw, daughter of Dionysus

Looks
Hair: Blond and just beyond shoulder length naturally, usually dyes it any random, wild color and often wears colorful extensions, clips, etc. Never ties it back and has on more than one occasion had to pull out a knot the size of a small rodent.

Dressing Style: Dresses fairly punk-rock (leather jacket when it’s cooler out, always wears black leather steel-toed boots (with a 2 inch platform heel) with a pink flower design on the heel and back of the leg, usually has ripped and patched jeans and a tee-shirt with some rock/metal/punk/loud-music-of-any-kind band on it) Rarely accessorizes.
General Appearance: Ex tends to put out an air of “I want attention” with her appearance and most people are taken aback by her. However, take a second glance and you’ll realize that, while she’s perfectly comfortable in her attention-getting outfits with bold hair and eyes, she isn’t that happy with the attention she gets. She’s like a brightly colored wallflower or that one annoying speckle you get at the corner of your eye that you chase for ages but never really get a good look at. She’s also very thin, when she wears a bikini, or a skin-tight shirt you can see her ribs as well as her hip-bones and the spinal protrusions all of which stick out in a manner that would seem to be painful if you looked at her.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description: Ex dresses loud and can be very loud when defending something or someone she cares about, but normally she is very quiet. Her voice rarely rises above an almost whimpering whisper and when too many people pay attention to her at once she tends to develop a stammering stutter and a deep blush. Unluckily for her the outfits that she finds comfortable are eye catching and draw attention, as does her habit of smoking and the fact that her namesake seems to follow her everywhere, if only on accident. She usually hides in a corner with her book, her falcon, and her smokes, but sometimes she’ll make an effort to be social.
She’s been caught more than once kissing statues of women and certainly doesn’t oppose to kissing real ones, having had girlfriends here and there while at camp. She is somewhat confused about the gods, having grown up first with no religion and then with the Jewish religion, before being forced to take classes in the Catholic religion and so could be considered an agnostic usually since she is unsure of what is right or wrong. She very-much-so likes any and all gods of death and water however, and when she isn’t hiding away in some corner she is often down at the beach swimming. She favors weapons that can keep an opponent at a distance such as her Glaive and her war axe.
Likes: Girls, smoking, books, Stryker (her Peregrine falcon), surfing, flying kites, kissing girls, gymnastics and rain
Dislikes: Boys, thunder, lightning, sharks, school, eating meat, the mindset that blonds are dumb, the mindset that ‘surfer girls’ and ‘valley girls’ are all that come out of California, and Cows
Fears: Being raped (again), Her dad, Being excluded
Secrets: She’s Jewish, and grew up that way.
Ambitions: She really wants to be an astronaut someday, She wants to have a family like her mothers, and she wants to win a surfing competition
Powers: Talks with birds and calls up static electricity/small shocks (rarely uses out of her own fear)
Family and History
Personal History: Sarah Kritchen was a teenage adrenaline junkie who grew up on a farm in Virginia. At the age of 17 she got her pilots license so that she could do many more adrenaline fueling activities. She was very good at stunt flying especially. It was during a stunt flying show that she met the handsome young stranger with sleek, black hair. She was taken with the man, Zeus in disguise, and he was taken with her sense of adventure and love of the sky. The two spent only a week together before Zeus disappeared without ever telling his lover who he was.
A month later Sarah realized she was pregnant and, knowing that her family would never accept a child born out of wedlock, she took her Cessna plane and flew from Virginia to Texas. She settled down in Texas, apprenticing herself to a rancher and learning how farms and ranches worked. When it came time to have her baby she went to a small county hospital. It took her sixteen hours to have her child. Three hours after Ex was born, before Sarah had a chance to name her daughter, Zeus attempted to kill the child in order to please his wife Hera (who was once again upset about his many affairs and the children he had during them). His lightning bolt hit one of the hospitals gas powered generators and the whole building exploded.
By some miracle Sarah was outside having a cigarette and was thus spared, and by another miracle the incubator Ex had been placed in was not destroyed, but catapulted out of the blast, skidding across the desert ground and coming to rest nearly half a mile away. A ranchers dog found Ex, hungry but unharmed, and the dogs master was a kind enough person to take the time and effort to figure out what happened. Thus Ex and her mother were brought back together. However many people in the community blamed Sarah and her daughter for the death of their loved ones and the loss of their only hospital. Sarah dusted off her Cessna and flew herself and her baby off to California, settling down in the northern part of California she started up her own farm with three cows, a bull, and a handful of chickens.
As Ex grew up she learned quickly how to help on her mother’s farm, gathering eggs from the (very noisy and smelly) chickens, milking the cows, and weeding the garden. She also learned to love the water at the beach, swimming and surfing there every weekend, no matter the weather. When Ex was six years old Mercedes Gray and her ten year old daughter Summer, became their most regular customers. Two years later Sarah and Mercedes were married, and the farm continued to grow. Ex grew to love her step-‘father’ as she referred to Mercedes as. While she learned how to farm, garden, swim, surf and get herself into trouble from her mother, her ‘father’ taught her how to fly a kite, do gymnastics, manage finances, handle cars and bikes, fixing and restoring them with minimal assistance.
When she was eleven she found a nest of peregrine falcon chicks that had been knocked off of a ledge in the Cascade Mountains. Feeling sorry for the two chicks in the nest she waited nearby to see if their parents would come to help them. When no parents came she scooped the two up and took them home. For three weeks she labored to keep them alive, finally losing one chick to starvation and saving the other. Stryker grew quickly and Ex soon learned that she was able to speak with him, and he was not the only bird she could speak with. However after three weeks of listening to chickens she just about went mad and soon refused to go anywhere near the birds.
When she was in seventh grade she was sitting outside of the school’s gym one night, waiting for her sister to get finished with basket-ball practice, and several older boys ambushed her. They dragged her into the boys locker room and raped her because they had heard rumors (at the time unfounded) that she was gay and they thought it would ‘cure’ her of being gay. All it really did was make her afraid of men. Her mother’s sued the school and transferred her to a catholic all-girls school, despite Mercedes being Jewish and having taught Ex to be Jewish as well.
Two days before her thirteenth birthday she, and her family, were attacked by the Minotaur while out tending to their cows. Ex threw herself into the battle without thinking about it and managed to fry the bull-man without intending it. An electrical pulse dropping the monster and leaving a powerful smell of burned hair and flesh in the air. She freaked out about the fact that lightening had just arced out of her hand and killed a creature that was over ten feet tall and probably weighed at least five hundred pounds. She finally inquired about her father from her mother and was told the story. Doing her own research she put the puzzle together and realized that her father was Zeus.
In an effort to protect her family Ex set out on a cross country hike, guided by Stryker. When she got to Colorado she ran into a satyr who began to take her the rest of the way. Thus, six months after leaving her house she arrived at Camp Half-Blood. She enjoyed the camp, but missed her family. Thus she began to go home every fall, spending her school days at home and on alert for Monsters. She bought a used, battered blue pickup that she named Medea when she was 15 so that she would have an easier time of getting to and from camp, and also bought a glaive, which she named Natsumi, at a Japanese festival. Between her truck and her glaive she felt safe at home and at camp. When she was 16 she forged Helga, a very powerful war axe to use in camp. When she was 17 she accidentally started a grass fire with lightning in California and after the cops caught her with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter running away from the scene she was tried but ultimately acquitted for arson.
After graduating High School she decided to move to camp on a permanent basis for a few years. She misses her family, but she’s willing to protect her family while she works on protecting herself and those she cares about. Living at camp for a full year now she is quite a comfortable character, usually seen hiding in the corners with a book and blending in quite well despite her loud outfits.

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