Lets Get More Personal
Likes: * Dance Music * Old movies * Reading anything in the various forms of Latin * Designing things, anything from Architecture to interior design * The company of his trusted friends and advisers
Dislikes: ~ Being forced to be in charge, he'd rather to be in charge by his own choice rather than by someone else forcing it upon him ~ His Orders being questioned, he tends to react with physical force to those who openly question his orders ~ Most children of Mars/Ares, he feels they have undeserving over inflated egos and should be put in their place. ~ Chaos, Disorder, and sloppiness, it drives him nuts, some would call him "anal retentive" ~ Spiders, they are just creepy, crawly, and just plain ewwww
Personality: If there were one word to describe Tony, it would be Arrogant. He sees himself as being on a level above those around him. He has a soft spot where family is concerned, always insuring that his siblings (children of Minerva as well as he full sister Shay) are well taken care of before tending to himself and others. He always has to have a detailed plan before he acts, he doesn't like surprises or unexpected changes to the Plan.
History: Much of Tony's history has been kept secret from him, as he was taken to Wolf House by his father and Aunt at the tender young age of 4, a bit older than most, but George Du Rone, couldn't bear to have his two young children separated.
The Story begins with one George Du Rone, self professed geek, and history nerd, and one of the very few mortals to catch the eye of more than one goddess. Strictly speaking, that wasn't true. He had caught the eye of one goddess, two different times, in two different aspects of herself.
The first time he caught the eye of that goddess was at a history lecture at his Alma mater. Curious over how mortals currently perceived the Olympians in this modern age, Minerva the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, sat next to George during the lecture, peppering him with questions in the guise of a fellow student taking notes. Though George was rather annoyed by this constant barrage of questions, he continued to answer, since after all it wasn't all that often that a pretty girl sat next to him and actually wanted to hear what he had to say.
Minerva was quite taken with George's depth of knowledge and willingness to share it with others. By the end of the lecture, their "brain child", as Tony likes to think of himself, was conceived.
Months later a golden cradle, with a bundle of joy was found on George's door step with a note written in Latin explaining what George must do with the child to keep both the child and George safe.
Originally, George had planned to follow the instructions to the letter, and deliver his young son to Wolf House, on the boy's second birthday, but by the time Tony's second birthday rolled around George had his daughter Shay, by Minerva's Greek aspect Athena. Though both very young, Tony and Shay bonded in a very real way, hating to be apart for long, which is why when the time came, George couldn't just leave his son at Wolf House.
By the time Tony's 4th birthday, Minerva came to George in a dream and insisted that Tony be taken to Wolf House immediately. She comforted him by promising that there would be a time in the not so distant future when his children would be reunited. Reluctantly, George made the trip, leaving Shay at home with her Aunt.
After George left, Tony was found by Lupa, the wolf-goddess charged with training Roman demigods. Over the next 10 years Tony faced many challenges, some being resolved with ease, other barely by the skin of his teeth.
Though he proved to be a capable warrior, and leader, he was always reluctant to take charge himself. On his 14th birthday, the gods commanded that a Second Legion of Roman demigods be found as the "reserve force" for the First Legion. Lupa hand picked her best "campers" for this legion and awarded command of the legion to the winner of capture the flag. In the end, Tony lead his troop to victory, and was named praetor of the Second Legion.
Abilities:
* He has his mother's wisdom and is very intelligent and clever. * He is knowledgeable in the Greek and Roman gods, Titans, and mythological creatures, which is very useful in journeys and battles. * He is a master strategist. * He knows hand-to-hand combat * He is one of the few people who can "rein in" his sister Shay when she gets overly inquisitive.
Weaknesses: ~ His pride and arrogance can be his Achilles' heel at times ~ He can have paralyzing arachnophobia ~ He some times plans so far ahead that he forgets that he hasn't already done the steps in between
Other Information: He will fight with his sister Shay, near to the point of drawing blood, but if anyone else tries to fight with her, he will defender her to the end. He says, "She's my sister, so only I'm allowed to kick her ass,"
He has a pet Great Horned owl named Bubo, after the mechanical Owl in Clash of the Titans. He finds the movie to be hilarious.
He carries a Gladius, made from Imperial Gold.
