Being in large groups Personality: Like his sibling, Kaleb was a tremendously mischievous youth. He saw rules as challenges and adults as spoilers of fun, to be evaded when at all possible. Constantly exploring—both the towns around him and the boundaries of what he could get away with—he frequently got into trouble, especially as his mother was always able to sense whether he was telling the truth, but he reveled in his escapades and was uninspired to change his ways.
After he learned who his father was, and that of his brother’s, Kaleb became more calm and collected. He spent years researching everything he could on all aspects of mythology and religion. During the next five years, Kaleb began to lose his zest for learning, seeking knowledge but not taking great joy in it. He still holds on to the firm belief that rather than following whatever the gods decree, he, and those like him, should choose their own paths. One major aspect of his personality is jokes. He usually uses jokes to get past awkward situations, though he is able to see that jokes are not always appropriate. History: Kaleb was born to a woman named Katlyn Anne McPhail and the Titan Hyperion. His youth was a normal one. Filled with nothing more than getting into trouble and being mischievous. A year after his birth his younger brother, Damian, was born. He and his brother have always been inseparable Wherever one was found, the other was not far behind. At the age of five Kaleb began to exhibit small traits showing his power. His mother did her best to keep this a secret from him. However at the age of eleven he and his brother were attacked by a monster on their way home from school. All seemed lost until Kaleb set the creature ablaze. This was the first major use of his power. It was then that his father claimed him, he did this by causing his synbol to show up on his arm permenately. His mother then told Kaleb of his true father. He learned that his mother, who had worked as a waitress in a restraunt years ago, met Hyperion one night when she was working late. Hyperion was the last person who came to the restaraunt. The two talked for hours until Hyperion finally left. For the next few days Hyperion frequently visited. The two eventually became close to one another. Hyperion and her formed a relationship, however after after their first night together Hyperion disappeared. This revelation left Kaleb with a deep hatred with his father.
Kaleb became enthralled with mythology and religion. He researched everything he possibly could on the history of his heritage for the next two years. Once his research was over with however, he learned that his father was a cruel and evil man even before he used his mother and left her behind. He gave up his research and became withdrawn from everyone but his brother. For the next few months he became a pyromaniac. He used his abilities to burn anything he could find. This led to several cases of arson and destruction of private property. No matter what happened though, he could always depend on Damian. This changed as well once his brother turned fifteen. He began to show the true aspects of his heritage as well. Kaleb’s mother revealed that his brother was the son of a monster. Kaleb, furious at this notion ran away from home. While on the run,he met up with another monster, it was here that he was given the blade Helios from his father. With this blade he began seeking out and killing monsters. He was gone for two weeks until he was found by police officers in another state. The police then informed him that his mother had died in a fire, his brother had claimed that monsters were responsible. Of course Kaleb was their first suspect, due to his past history of fire antics and due to the fact that he had gone missing weeks before. Kaleb managed to evade the police and find his brother at a nearby orphanage. The two ran away and went on the run. Over the next two years Kaleb and Damian moved from town to town, avoiding people and killing any monster they found. Finally the two stumbled upon Camp Half-Blood. The two were taken in but treated as outsiders, due to their fathers. Now, the two attend Half-Blood Academy. Abilities: Pyrokinesis- Due to his father being the Titan of the sun, he has powers over fire. Light Manipulation- Kaleb also has the ability to bend the direct sunlight to his will. Weaknesses: When in dark areas or in cold temperatures, Kaleb’s power is almost forfeit. In the cold he cannot concentrate enough to conduct the heat. In the dark there is no light to fuel his energy. Other Information: Kaleb carries a blade that forms out of sunlight. This blade burns anything that it cuts. Its appearance makes it look as though it is on fire. The blade is called Helios.
Sample post: Kaleb ran through the cold damp alley way. Why did it have to be night time? If it was day time then he would be able to use Helios. However with the dark he was weaponless. Damian stuck by his side as they continued to round the corners of the alley. The creature was not far behind them. Kaleb had barely been able to muster up a flame to keep it back. They continued running until they heard it, the sound of a long powerful moo. The Minotaur was not gaining up on them. They surged forward into the street. Kaleb noticed several cars nearby. He walked up to one that seemed fast and broke the driver side window and unlocked the door. Damian looked around frantically before whispering “What the hell are you doing?!”. Kaleb jumped into the car and began to hotwire it as he said “Trying to save your hide, get in”. Damian wasted no time in jumping into the passenger seat. Kaleb had only done this twice so he wasn’t the most experienced, but he needed to get out of there fast. Damian looked out the window and suddenly began to hit Kaleb on his back as he said “It’s coming! Kaleb it’s coming!”. Kaleb glanced toward the alley in time to see the lumbering body of the Minotaur stalking out of the darkness. He returned to his work until finally the car surged into life. He kicked the car into reverse and began to drive down the road backwards. The Minotaur started to give chase until it another car pulled in front of it, tripping it. Kaleb then turned the car around and sped off as quickly as he could. He looked in the rear view mirror to see the Minotaur bashing the other car into bits. Kaleb sighed as he said “I hope that guy has insurance for that, I wonder if they give insurance for Minotaur attacks”. Damian sighed and shook his head as he said “Is this really a time for jokes?”. Kaleb laughed as he said “When is there not a time for jokes?”. With that they continued to speed off down the road.

Welcome to the Academy. There are just a few things we need then we should be ready to roll.
* How did Kaleb's mother and Hyperion meet? * When and how was he claimed by his Hyperion? * What was he doing while he was on the run? * Why did the authorities automatically expect that Kaleb set the fire? * The sword needs to be made of Celestial Bronze, but it can retain it's fiery qualities, but we need to know how and when he received it
Once we get that tidied up a bit, we'll be good to go.
