Lets Get More Personal
Likes: - Music. Keller likes all types of music though whatever he listens to is very largely dependent on his moods. - His guitar. He calls it Lucille and expects other people do so as well. - Poetry, though he writes very, very bad Haikus. It runs in the family really. - His pet mouse named Nostradamus. He calls it Notsie for short and it's usually sleeping in it's cage instead of anything useful. - Archery. Something else that runs in the family. - Fantasy novels. Especially those with scantily clad women. He likes fantasy shows too where you can actually see those scantily clad women. - Pizza. Lots of pineapple please. - Making fun of the Ares cabin.
Dislikes: - The spawn of Ares. It's a long story, but to cut it short, Keller was on a quest with one of them and bad decisions lead to one of their quest members getting killed. He doesn't trust an Ares child with anything anymore. - Liars. But only when people are lying to keep things away from him. He expects his friends to be open about everything and it irks him when he senses that they're not telling him everything. As much as he dislikes it though, Keller is also guilty of this. It's hypocritical but what can you do about it? - Anchovies. Who would want to put something like that into their mouths? Weird... - Under appreciation. Keller is a big brat when it comes to people paying attention to him. He thinks he's awesome and wants other people to think it as well. At his worst Keller can get very, very grumpy when he feels that he's not being given the attention and appreciation that he wants. - Overbearing individuals. Especially those who rush him to get things done. Can't you just tell that Keller doesn't have that good a relationship with his teachers? - Favoritism. Blatant unfairness always rubs Keller the wrong way. He's just the type to roll his eyes at teacher's pets. - Lemonade. Lemons...nuff said.
Personality: If anyone asked Keller to describe his own personality, the answer would be short and sweet. It would contain only one word and said would would be voiced with confidence. In short, Keller's answer would simply be awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. And it wouldn't hurt if someone put it up in big bold lights over his head either. So, that's one thing about Keller Foster, he ha a huge ego. It gets so bad sometimes that even his own half siblings can't stand him, though anything from a good pinch or a quiet word from them can easy bring Keller back down to Earth again. Unfortunately this can't be said by those who aren't claimed by Apollo and Keller has made more then a few people dislike him because of that huge ego of his.
On the upside though, he is a very confident person and in general Keller comes off as someone who usually gets what he wants when he wants it. He can be charming, but is not on the level of a child of Aphrodite, and has a well defined sense of humor. Keller has learned how to laugh at himself and this seem to offset his ego and make his showboating antics look more endearing and less insufferable...at least some of the time anyway. While he's always up for fun and good times, Keller does have a quieter and more sensitive side to him, however this is only seen by his half siblings and those whom he counts as close friends. Keller is your typical eighteen year old boy and he equates being sensitive with being vulnerable and weak. He'd much rather prefer to strut around like a very loud peaturtle then discuss emotions or some such thing. Keller is friends with just about everybody and is not the type to talk about people behind their backs, even if they're his worst enemies. But then again, this only means that for his worse enemies Keller would spit any insults he would have right to their faces. He's a nice guy, but he's not afraid of confrontation.
History: Sue Foster was just an ordinary woman who dreamed big but sadly didn't have enough talent to back it all up. Basically she grew up wanting to be a musical sensation, a pop idol and begged and pleaded with her parents to send her for vocal lessons. Sue even thought herself how to play the guitar, and while everybody encouraged her none would tell her to her face that she wasn't anything extraordinary. Sure continued to pursue her dreams, moving from one garage band to another though she never did make it big. The closest she came to performing for a huge audience was as a backup singer and really, no one was there to see her perform or even notice her.
Sue gave up almost everything to chase her dream though. She dropped out of high school and became estranged with her parents in the process, only keeping in contact with her brother Arnold whom she was very close to. To make money, Sue would work at some hokey fifties style diner as a waitress and it was there that she bumped into Apollo. As soon as Apollo walked into the diner, Sue knew that he was no ordinary guy. At first she thought that he was some kind of big music exec but as she studied him, she realized that it was something more. Apollo caught her noticing, and struck up a conversation with her. At first Sue was flustered, but as the night progressed, she began to relax around him and even impressed him with her passion in music. When it came time to clock out, she invited Apollo home with her.
Keller is the result of that one night stand. Growing up, he never met his grandparents since Sue never found the time to reconcile with them. Instead he spent a lot of time with his Uncle's family. Sue did not think to settle down after the birth of her son and was always off swanning off to go for auditions and the like. Keller was practically raised by his uncle, and is very close to that side of his family.
As he grew it quickly became apparent that he had a talent for music. His was always around his older cousin's toy keyboard and the adults would find it so cute when he tried to make music on it. To encourage him, his uncle sent Keller to music lessons when he was six years old and Keller's innate talent flourished from there.
Sue never said anything about those lessons or Keller's talent though, and sometimes he wonders if she resents him for being able to sing and make better music then she generally did. She wasn't even there when on his eleventh birthday, Apollo came back to claim him. If the God was disappointed that he could not see his former lover, he didn't show it, and instead spoke to a stunned Arnold about sending Keller to camp half blood. To Keller this turn of events in his life was something that he had long been half expecting. He had always thought that he was different from the other kids, his ADHD and his dyslexia setting him apart from them. And then there were the rather sinister shadows that he would sometimes see lurking just at the very corners of his vision. The summer of his twelfth birthday, Keller was sent to Camp Half Blood and it was another thing that his mother was not present for. It took only one summer at Camp before Keller decided that he wanted to do the whole 'being a demigod' thing year round. After a long talk with his uncle and aunt it was decided that he enroll in Half Blood academy. He has been there since the age of thirteen and if he has 'mommy issues.' Keller hides it really well.
Abilities: - Music. That's one upside to being a son of Apollo. Keller is naturally inclined to making music. If he puts his mind to it, he'd be able to learn how to play just about any musical instrument. Lyric writing comes naturally to Keller as well and to a certain degree, poetry writing. - Charm. It's what Apollo has in buckets and it's what Keller has inherited as well. He has something of a sliver tongue and more often then not knows what to say or how to smile to get a favorable reaction from a girl he's currently perusing. - Family loyalty. Though Keller comes across as laid back and devil may care most of the time, he cares very deeply for his half siblings. He's just the type to be an over protective big brother and has been known to screen potential any potential boyfriends/girlfriends. Most of the time though he comes off a hypocrite since he's known to be something a serial dater. - Archery. More often then not Keller looks like his born with a bow and arrow in his hands. He has near perfect aim and it doesn't matter if the target is on the move or not. He's one of those Apollo kids who can notch more then one arrow in his bow at a time.
Weaknesses: -Music. Even though it's technically possible for Keller to learn how to play any instrument, he still has to go about the process of learning it. He can't just pick up an instrument and be really good with it in a matter of hours. Seeing that he's a really bad student, Keller has only learned how to play the guitar and the piano. The way he sees it, they're the only two worthwhile instruments to play. Who wants to play the bagpipes anyway? -Charm. Has mentioned, Keller is nowhere as charming as a child of Aphrodite. He may think that he's really good at flirting but there will still be some people who won't stand for his crap. - Overprotective. When it comes to his half siblings and those whom he view as he close friends, Keller can be protective to the point of smothering them. This gets to be annoying since he's a wild child himself yet refuses to let any of his younger siblings partake in such a lifestyle. - He may have killer aim..but Keller's not much use with a sword in his hand. It's pretty easy to disarm him if Keller is using a sword and the fact that he's just not very good with melee weapons irritates Keller to no end.
Other Information: On his fifteenth birthday, Apollo gifted him with a magical longbow that can turn into a watch on command. It comes fully notched with a bow when he summons it, but it's only good for one shot, Keller needs to find a quiver of arrows fast if this gift is to be effective.
