Personality: To call Felix a cheeky monkey would be seriously understating things. Hyperactive, he is always on the move. Always looking for something to do or some sort of mischief to get into. He doesn't even have to be at the center of the trouble, he just has to be in on it, close enough to it to enjoy the fun. Felix's hyper activeness is however, not limited to just the physical. It takes someone very patient to have an actual conversation with he because he jumps topics likes nobody's business. You could be talking about camp activities one minute and then the fact that Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book in every Dewey-decimal category, the next.
In fact it is usually Felix's mouth which gets him into trouble most of the time. Shifting topics and going off tangent in a conversation is one thing, but he has no brain to mouth filter to speak off. Whatever pops into his head he'll voice. If he thinks you're getting fat he'll say it. If he thinks you're being stupid, he'll voice it out too. He is not trying to be insulting however, to Felix he is just stating facts. He'll often be surprised if someone acts badly to whatever he says, since facts are facts like the sky is blue and the grass is green. You either get over it, or you'll have to buy a whole lot of paint.
Nevertheless, Felix is just a nice, approachable boy. Being laid back and willing to go with the flow, he makes friends easily. He'll prove to be a loyal friend once you get past all the quirky things he says and Felix is just the type to dig his heels in and protect his friends no matter what the cost. He also has a healthy respect for females, which seems at odds sometimes because of his too honest answers when it comes to questions about weight or makeup.
History: Felix's father, Alexander Edan was a successful and much celebrated psychiatrist. Working in one of the biggest asylums in Boston, his speciality were people suffering from schizophrenia and hallucinations. Alexander was mainly knows for his compassion and kindness towards his patients and was a well known advocate for humane treatment for the clinically insane. Looking back, this was probably what attracted the goddess Pasithea to him.
They met in the asylum that Alexander worked in. Bumping into each other a couple of times, he thought that she was a visiting family member of one of the many patients there. They struck up many a conversation, and while she proved somewhat mysterious, the spark of attraction was there from the very beginning. It was a whirlwind romance, and they were together for the better part of a year before Pasithea or rather 'Thea' disappeared. Alexander was heartbroken, he had actually fallen in love with the goddess and thought that would be last that he was see of her.
Six months later, he was proven very wrong. Pasithea appeared at his doorstep and this time there were no disguises. She bought Felix along with her and opened up to Alexander, telling him of what she truly was and that he had to take care of their son until he was old enough to go to Camp Half Blood. To say that Alexander did not react well to the news would be an understatement. Heartbreak had turned into resentment and hate by then and the news that he would be saddled in with an infant was the straw that broke the camel's back. He railed at Pasithea, calling her a myth. Basically telling her that she had no right to exist since Greek gods had no place in the modern world. Railing and cursing at the gods never did anyone good, especially when it's done right to their faces. Pasithea in turn struck him with horrible hallucinations that would last a lifetime, effectively driving Alexander as insane as his patients.
It was lucky for Felix, that his uncle Harold, a tattoo artist, was visiting with Alexander then. Since he was Felix's closest mortal kin, Pasithea charged him with looking after the baby. After seeing first hand at what she had done to his poor brother, Harold wisely agreed. And so, Felix was raised by an uncle who quickly grew to love him. Of course Felix was an easy baby to love. He was a curious child and this followed him as he grew up. Harold proved to be a supportive guardian, particularly when Felix was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. Harold was always there to protect him against testy teachers when his grades slipped and never always seemed to understand when Felix came home with a less then satisfying report card. It got up to the point where Felix himself would find his uncle's behaviour odd.
Pasithea showed up again a few weeks before his twelve birthday and this was the first time that Felix got to meet his mother. At first he thought it was a joke, some prank that his uncle Harold was pulling on him. When he found that it was otherwise, Felix was for once struck speechless. He went to Camp Half Blood that same year, excited to learn more about this whole new world that had opened up for him. Learning a lot at camp, one thing was for sure though, Felix hated to hear anyone refer to his mother as 'minor'. It's just one thing that he cannot stand and has become determined to show that a son of hers is just as good as the child of any of the more well known gods.
