Olympian Information

GODLY PARENT:

Hephaestus, the Greek God of Fire, Craftsmanship, & Forges - As a god of the Forges, Hephaestus has never been one to leave his workshop often and as such, James has never met his father.

CABIN:

Cabin Nine/Claimed

POWERS / ABILITIES:

Fire Immunity - This ability grants him a light immunity to flames. He can easily survive walking through forest fires, burning buildings and the like without succumbing to any sort of harm. Especially useful when working with hot metals and pairs well with his other abilities, making him a great rescuer, if need be.

Enhanced Craftsmanship - As the god the Forges, this is the one power that James appreciates above all else. This ability grants him immense skill with any kind of crafting, from something as small as a mechanical lizard to as glorious as a set of powerful armor. He can make just about anything with a bit of scrap, some free time, and a little bit of creativity.

Metal Detection - He can sense different metals and ores from up to a radius of five yards. When sensing the metal, he can get a detailed understanding of exactly what kind of metal it is and can determine the amount that is hidden or revealed to him.

Mechanical Intuition - Another power granted from Hephaestus that James wishes he could thank the god for. This ability allows him an innate sense of how any machine works if he were to come in contact with it and if he owns the necessary parts, can recreate entirely from memory.

WEAPON OF CHOICE:

Warhammer - Truly, there is no better weapon fitted for a child of Hephaestus in James's humble opinion. One of the first weapons that he had ever forged without any help from anyone else and one that he cherishes very deeply for that reason. However, this is no ordinary warhammer as he had since outfitted it with a small thruster near the back that grants it an extra kick when making contact with any would-be adversaries. In honor of this, he decided to give it a rather simple name that fits it, dubbing it "Crash". When not in use, the hammer head collapses upon itself and leaves behind the weapon in a staff form.

Personal

MBTI:

INTJ-T

PERSONALITY:

Friendly - He's a guy that likes to meet people, his enthusiastic demeanor making it easier for him to make friends. While not naive when approaching, he is certainly a lot more lenient towards what people do or say to him if he considers them a friend. As long as he's not hurting anybody, he'll be willing to craft anything they need, despite however dangerous it may be.

Geekish - James can be considered as somewhat of a nerd, or geek, if one wants to get technical with it. He owns a rather large collection of manga, most notably that of One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen, anime figures, weapon replicas and a mass collection of video games. He is proud of his collection and would gladly show them off to anyone who shows the slightest bit of interest in what he owns. If not working in his garage or the shop, he would be seen expanding his ever-growing collection of items.

Reckless - When out in the field or working in his garage, he can be rather rash when it comes to proving himself. When inventing, the fangers don't matter to him as long as his ideas can become reality. This led to a lot of situations where his garage would end up in flames or explosions ranging out through his house though this has yet to do anything with deterring him from pursuing other careless inventions.

STRENGTHS:

Powers ~ He's gone through a great deal of lengths to gain a steady control of his powers and now that he does, he uses them to its full potential, already testing what he can and can't get away with using them.

Physical Strength ~ Due to his time spent working in the forges, he built up a considerable amount of muscle mass, allowing him to lift up most armor and weapons a majority of other people would consider far too heavy.

WEAKNESSES:

Jealous ~ James can be overly possessive of those that he considers close friends, not wanting the attention off of him, or in worse cases, leaving him. This can lead to him becoming clingy in attempts to keep them close by his side.

Stubborn ~ He has a lot of pride in his work and self, pride that sometimes gets the best of him. When in the zone, he will forgo basic human needs like eating and sleeping believing that he doesn't need it. This will go on for days at a time and only ends when he completely collapse from exhaustion or someone dragging him away from his work kicking.

Prosthesis ~ Due to an accident in his youth, he was left with a prosthetic replacing his right leg along with his left hand. While he fixed these prostheses to the best of his ability and standards, there are still times where they can break down on him and leave him with an inability to walk correctly.

HOBBIES:

Metal-Working ~ Every bit of his time throughout the day is spent in his garage, working in the forge. These can be little figurines to items like a large broadsword. Some of these items he would even take out for a garage sale if they weren't immediately tossed away. This is the one way that James can truly relax and where you'll find him in his natural element.

Collecting ~ Any free second when he's not working, he'll be seen on online sites trying to increase his ever growing collection. Whether that be buying the newest issues of a favorite comic series of his or looking out for a limited-time edition figurine to put on his shelf.

EXTRA:

~ While friendly with most people, he has been known to give a cold shoulder towards children of Ares and Aphrodite, recognizing their rivalry and disrespect of his father, respectively.

~ When he was twelve, James outfitted his prosthetics to fit his own needs, giving them more of a steampunk type of feeling. Though, because of this change, there are times when the gears he installed would lock and get stuck, making him have to oil them constantly to keep everything working properly.

~ He's terrified of most animals, even small ones as he doesn't understand how they work, on a biological level and this lapse of information frightens him to no end.

~ When very excited, the top of his hair will randomly catch on fire.
