Personality: David is a natural born leader. He lives in a world of possibilities where he sees all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and wants to be the one responsible for surmounting them. He has a drive for leadership, which is well-served by his quickness to grasp complexities, his ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and quick and decisive judgments.
David is very focused, and fits into the world quite naturally. He is constantly scanning this environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. He generally sees things from a long-range perspective, and is usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. David is tireless in his efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. .
There is not much room for error in David's world. He dislikes to see mistakes repeated, and has no patience with inefficiency. He may become quite harsh when his patience is tried in these respects, because he is not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely doesn't believe that he should tailor his judgments in consideration for people's feelings. David like many people has difficulty seeing things from outside his own perspective. Unlike other people, David naturally has little patience with people who do not see things the same way as himself. In the absence of this awareness, David will be a forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual.
David is a very forceful, decisive individuals. He makes decisions quickly, and is quick to verbalize his opinions and decisions to the rest of the world.
History: David was born to Inazi Nixon, a wealthy diamond investor who used his business as a front for more lucrative enterprises. Inazi had strong mafia connections, and while he gave David everything he ever asked for, he deeply loved David. He saw David as weak. He assumed that David would one day be able to grow out of his physical weakness, or failing that at least be cunning enough to become a successful white collar criminal. But David had little acting abilities, and his reading skills were abysmal. Eventually Inazi gave up and focused on training David's step brothers, figuring that David was still young and could still outgrow his physical weakness.
When Inazi Nixon died at age 61 his two sons Lucius and Darrell took over. David and his "mother" were forcibly removed from the family, but were given enough money to live comfortably, however they no longer had the security that Inazi Nixon had once provided. David found himself becoming more and more aware of things around him. Monsters, began appearing, and it was apparent that there was something very wrong with him.
Eventually he was recruited to Camp Half Blood by a satyr sent to being him in. He enjoyed Camp Half Blood, seeing it as yet another chance to start again. He thrived on it. Finally he was getting to do things he was good at, finally he was able to bond with people who understood him, from the mythical beasts to the other campers. It was a blast. Although he was quite and often surly, he managed to get along well with others and made quite a few friends, until about six months after his thirteenth birthday when he recieved his first quest. He had been dying to get one. He was to retrieve a demi god from across the country, a son of Hermes. David took with him two of his trusted friends and they set off. From their first day out it was apparent that something was wrong. There were too many monsters, they were drawn toward David and the others too fast. The smell of a child of Aphrodite was far more enticing than that of a normal demi god. They managed to pick up the child of Hermes, but as they were returning they were ambushed in Los Angeles, none of them survived except for David. A voice in his head urged him to run.
The monsters didn't seem to follow hijm, and David felt strangely comfortable in his new surroundings. The people around him were beautiful, almost godly beautiful. it was then that he met his real mother; Aphrodite. She discussed with him a lot of matters at heart and soon sent him off to an academy instead. [Edit]He was about thirteen years of age at the time. She also told him that out of all his siblings he had the strongest Aura.[End Edit]
Since then David had been training to overcome his weaknesses, and hoped that if he somehow managed to attain godhood he could make his mother proud.
Abilities: Unbelievable Beauty and easy to tempt people into doing what he wants.
Weaknesses: Crying women he just can't stand them. Poems; he falls in love with them instantly.
Other Information: He was given an earring by his mother that turns into a bow.
Thinking of applying for a Big Three child
Sample post: David looked up and toward Phoenyx. He smiled lightly as he walked toward her a bit stunned at what she was wearing but he was ok with it. She was her own person. She could make choices for herself, in fact he knew she had probably made many other dangerous choices in her life much like he had.
"Are you ok?" She had asked him as if he was hurt. In a way he was but just by seeing her concerned made him smile all the more.
He then saw a slight shiver in her body and finally decided it was now best to speak to her,"I'm fine. Actually I'm grand thank you for asking Phoenyx." He then pulled off his coat, putting it around her softly,"Here you seem cold."
He then looked at the menu to see what he wanted. He ordered three slices of pizza and looked to Phoenyx,"So how have you been miss Phoenyx? We haven't spoken in a while it seems." As he spoke to her he softly chewed on his pepperoni pizza. He thought of to how beautiful she looked and how much he wanted to say it but sadly he couldnt bring himself to say much to her at all right now other than short words and questions. It would take a big step of boldness in him to say she looked beautiful let alone ask her out.
Finally deciding he had to say something about how she looked he voiced his opinion on her choice of dress. "I have to say Phoenyx you look lovely in the color red. it makes you look ravishing and very seductive all at the same time. Though I'm probably not the only one to have ever said that."
