Lets Get More Personal
Likes: Loves to surf, sail and swim Is an excellent spear and staff fighter Loves music, dancing and beach parties in the open air Dislikes: most children of Poseidon, he thinks they are arrogant and need to be put in their place. Hates deserts Hates being seen as second class becuase his father is a Titan not a god
Personality: Jesse is the very essence of the "surfer dude" . He prefers to be laid back and relaxed, spending as much time as possible surfing, swimming and sailing as possible. He has a temper as fast and furious as the ocean itself, if he feels that he, his family or those close to him, have been wronged, he'll fight like there is no tomorrow. Fortunately, his storm bouts are few and far between, most of the time. He is much more inclined to be a lover not a fighter.
History: Jesse was born just a couple of years before the Second Titan war began. His Mother Sophia, originally from New Orleans, was vacationing in Australia, spending her time swimming and playing along the Great Barrier Reef. Apparently she caught the eye of the ancient Sea Titan Oceanus, because he stole her away in a crashing wave bringing her down to his Undersea Palace in the Reef. She never really knew what happened, one moment she was swimming peacefully in calm waters, the next she was engulfed in a massive wave. Sophia was sure she had drowned when she awoke and found herself with Oceanus deep beneath the Reef itself. The made dreamlike love and she faded from consciousness. The next thing she knew, she was on the beach with a life guard giving her CPR.
Sophia returned to Louisianna not long after that, visiting the Mississippi River often, wishing that she was once again lost in that dream she only half remembered. Several weeks later it became clear that she was Pregnant, and her boy friend at the time, refused to believe the child was his and left her. Distraught Sophia returned home to her parents where they loved and cared for her and her baby.
After Jesse was born, Sophia started having vivid dreams about the Reef and a deep seeded longing to return. Finally when Jesse was 6 years old, and the War was over, the Monroe family packed up their things and moved to Australia.
Jesse grew up practically living on the beach and in the surf, it was the only place that felt like home despite Sophia and her parents efforts. The only was they could get Jesse to even try at school was the promise or suspension of "surf time", even then he would always find a way to cut class and get to the beach to swim or surf for even a few minutes.
Just before his 13th birthday, Jesse decided he wanted to scuba dive around the Reef, exploring as much around the area as possible. So he snuck out of class, borrowed some gear from an older friend and jumped right in. It surprised even him to discover how little the water and wildlife hindered him, he saw a Great White Shark just look at him and swim off in a different direction. Feel bold and brave he kept diving deeper and deeper until he reached the gates of Oceanus' Palace. Merfolk with the upper bodies of humans and the lower bodies of eels welcomed him cordially and escorted him directly into the Throne Room.
When he saw Oceanus, he knew immediately that he was the Titan's son. With a wave of the hand, Jesse's scuba gear vanished replaced with just a pair of blue Board Shorts. Oceanus and Tethys the stood and welcomed him warmly, he was the first child to have been born to either Titan in close to a thousand years, and they were most pleased to see him.
Jesse asked his father about how he was born, to which he only replied, "Your mother was simply too beautiful to let swim away," and that was that. He spent the remainder of the day with his father in his palace learning about his heritage and the Titan Wars. Oceanus warned that the life of demititan, like that of a demigod, if fraught with perils, and that only the strongest of the strong, bravest of the brave, and wisest of the wise see long and fruitful lives. If he could some how manage to survive and distinguish himself, perhaps one day Jesse could be the heir to Oceanus' power and domain. But first he would have to train and learn how to harness his abilities and powers he already had, and the only place that could do that was the Half-Blood Academy.
Without warning, Oceanus used his powers and sent Jesse sailing through the seas washing up on the beach of the Academy. Pontos the Headmaster welcomed the demititan to his domain and guided him to his new home at the Academy. He informed Jesse that his mother and grand parents had already been informed of the situation, and that knew he was safe.
Within a couple of weeks, Jesse fell into the routine and learned to love the Academy, even though he missed his home in Australia painfully.
Abilities: * Upon contact with water, Jesse gains a disproportionate amount of strength, combat skill, and speed-but only for a short time unless he is standing or immersed in water. * Jesse can control large volumes of water with great force (hydrokinesis). For example, he can redirect rivers, create currents to push boats or himself, or even increase surface tension to the point where it is firm enough to stand upon.
* Jesse can breathe underwater. He is unharmed by water pressure of any amount, or by falling from great height into water. * When Jesse is underwater, he stays dry unless he consciously forces himself to become wet. When Jesse touches objects underwater, they become dry. * Jesse can create Freshwater water springs by driving the point of his spear into the ground
* Jesse can communicate telepathically with sea animals, most of whom also obey him and treat him with respect. * While at sea, Jesse has perfect bearings on his exact coordinates. (Longitude, Latitude, knots)
* Jesse can telekinetically control all things that are connected with the sea (He has shown to be able to control boats).
* Jesse can sense where objects are underwater. * Jesse is very resistant to burning, and is even able to survive while immersed in magma for a short while because of the "power of the ocean" inside of him.
* Jesse can control ocean currents to propel him at great force underwater, or even up into the air, as he does in his duel with Ares. * Jesse has a healing factor when standing or immersed in water, which is capable of mending serious wounds and curing him of poisoning. In the film he used this skill to heal other people. Weaknesses: Other Information:
Thinking of applying for a Big Three child as your first character? Give us a sample post please. 1000 words. You have to write as the character you're applying for.
Sample post: He was a dead man if mum ever found out, but something inside him just screamed that he had to do this, it was as if something deep within him was taking control of his actions, not something Jesse Monroe would ever care for. He just knew he had to go scuba diving at the reef, as if his very life depended on it or something. Telling his best mate Ruben that in order to let him use Ruben's diving gear, hadn't gone well. Ruben kept suggesting paying a visit to hospital, and that maybe Jesse had heat stroke, or swallowed too much sea water while he was out surfing, but Jesse wouldn't back down and finally Ruben relented.
The next day, the day before Jesse's 13th birthday, Ruben's brother drove them out to the Reef, no sooner had the truck been put into park, then Jesse was grabbing the gear and in the water. There was just something about the water that just made Jesse fell...well, right. He couldn't explain it, but it was true, it was almost like he was going home or something. He especially loved it right here at the Reef, he came to swim and snorkel as often as he could, that is when he wasn't trying to the next big wave surfing.
Jesse checked his mask and breathers, all good to go, with a wave and a thumbs up Jesse was gone beneath the wave. Something he had noticed over the years, was he never felt out of breath underwater as a lot of his mates did, he could also dive deeper and faster than anyone else could. The were always teasing him that he was part fish, or eel or something. He just shrugged it off and enjoyed himself.
Down down down he went, losing track of time, but yet strangely aware of his depth and bearings along the reef. Normally there were supposed to be some wicked currents along this stretch of the Reef this time of year, but for Jesse it was just a peaceful, gentle and calm ebb and flow of the oceans currents.
Deeper and deeper he went, getting a little nervous and concerned, he had never been down this deep before, hell he wasn't even sure it was supposed to be this deep at this position along the reef, and yet he could clearly see there was still a long way to go until he reached where he felt he needed to be. He closed his eyes and just kept descending, the next thing he knew his flippered feet touch down on the soft sandy seafloor. He opened his eyes in utter amazement; before him stood a massive coral palace that looked like it had been carved out of the living coral itself, or perhaps the coral had been created for the express purpose of building this place. The latter seemed the most likely to Jesse. At the center of the Palace's outer wall were two massive mosaics, made out of smooth polished seashells in the form of, what appeared to be a king and queen. The King towered over the Queen, easily standing at 100 feet tall, his upper body that of a strong muscular man with pale blue skin, a long flowing beard of various shade of gray, piercing blue-green eye, with massive bull horn coming out either side of his forehead, and a pearly crown upon his head, holding, what looked like some kind of snake-like sea monster in one hand like a whip, and a sword fish in the other. His lower half seemed extremely odd to Jesse, I mean even he had seen The Little Mermaid were merfolk had lower halves of fish or sharks, or something along those lines, this King had the lower half of and eel. The Queen, although a good 20 feet smaller was the same kind of mer-person with the upper half of a beautiful lady, and the lower half of an eel. The strange thing about her, was in stead of the King's bull horns, she had what looked like bird wings sprouting on either side of her head supporting her own pearly crown. Jesse stared at them for a few moments, feeling strangely at ease, his peaceful trance broken as two sturdy eel-bottomed mermen with harpoons swam up to him, easily towering over him at three times his size.
At first Jesse just wanted to bolt to the surface and forget everything his saw, but then he noticed the amused look in ther mermen's eyes, he wanted to demand "WHAT?!", but remember he still had the scuba breather in his mouth, this seemed to amuse the mermen even more, until a third even larger merman swam up shooting the others a stern look before turning to Jesse and bowing, as much as one could bow under water.
"Welcome Lord to the Undersea Palace of Oceanus, you have been expected, please, this way," The large Merman turned around and swam for the mosaics, which astounded Jesse by sliding sideways like the automatic doors in the super market, revealing a bright colorful, brilliantly light room that just seemed to fade back into infinity. Jesse did his best to keep up the the merman and not let his awe over whelm him. All around were merfolk, fish, sharks, and octopi, and countless other sea creatures that Jesse didn't even begin to have names for, yet he knew them perfectly well. The merman seemed to shrink until he was only about 10 foot high instead of 40 or 50, he bowed to two thrones at the end off the hall, which Jesse couldn't even begin to see.
"My Lord, My Lady, may I present his Lordship, Jesse Monroe," the merman bowed again and faded back into the crowd as if floating on a current, revealing the occupants of the thrones to be the very same from the mosaic doors outside.
"My Lord Jesse Monroe allow me to present Their Majesties Lord Oceanus and Lady Tethys, the Titan Rulers of the Sea,"
Jesse floated there all googly eyed in his scuba mask as he realized that the Titans as slowly fazed from their accustomed form into something more human. Oceanus' blue skin melting into a smooth deep tan, his massive gray beard and hair fading into an unruly mass of sun bleached blonde hair, he sat bare chested, wearing little more than a pair of baggy blue green board shorts, and a proud smile that seemed to light up the room.
"My son, you have no need for all of that here," Oceanus waved his hand and all the scuba gear disappeared, replaced with a pair of board shorts identical to the pair Oceanus was wearing.
"Along with my Lord Husband, I bid you welcome Jesse Monroe, Son of Oceanus. Welcome to your father's Palace," Jesse stared at the tan dark haired young woman wearing a bikini top, and some sort of silk looking skirt that was just wrapped around her waist, also offering a warm, almost motherly smile.
"It's a lot to take in, I know, especially when you have been ill prepared to accept that such things as Titans and Gods do indeed still exist. But like all things, in time you will learn to accept it as just another fact of life. My Boy, you have no idea how proud I am of you. You are the only child of either myself or my wife, to have found your way to our Palace before your 13th birthday, and being claimed as one of our children. Well done." The room erupted in applause as courtiers joined the Royal pair in welcoming their Bastard Prince. Oceanus nodded to Tethys who rose from her throne and beckoned for Jesse to come forward. He swam-walked forward without so much as a thought, reaching the dais in less than a blink of an eye.
Tethys smiled warmly placing a motherly hand on his shoulder, "In honor of your 13th birthday My Lord, your Father, and I would like to offer you these small gifts as tokens of our affection," she picked up a simple necklace with a circular pendant dangling from it, made of the same coral, seashell and pearl of the Palace. "The I give to you, so that no matter where you are in this world, you will always have a small piece of home with you," Jesse's cheeks flushed as she leaned down kissing him on the forehead then sitting back in her throne.
"Come here Son," Oceans beckoned as he stood, Jesse could feel all of his insides shaking as he floated into a kneeling position before his father. "My gift is much less sentimental, and much more practical," a servant swam forward bearing a very large oblong package handing it to Oceanus with the utmost care. "Stand my Son and receive the gift of Oceanus," Jesse stood, his eyes ready to bug out of their sockets as Oceanus reveal the most perfect surf board Jesse had ever seen. Oceanus gave a small smile at Jesse's reaction before continuing, "It isn't just any surf board mind you." he tapped it with a long finger and the surf board transformed into an 8 foot tall Harpoon shaped spear. "Learn, and use it well," He tapped hit again and it transformed into a sea shell bracelet and put it on Jesse's left wrist. "Now you will always have a weapon with you, and a surf board when you just need to sneak out," Jesse giggled a little realizing that his father was just as big of a surf fanatic as he was, for all Jesse knew, his dad may have invented the sport.
Oceanus waved his hand and another, smaller throne appeared, he sat and motioned for Jesse to sit as well. "Now, the day after your 13th birthday, you will receive a visit from a funny little man who says he is from the Half-Blood Academy in New York. He is in fact a Satyr, and you must go with him to the Academy. I have dispatched one of my servants to explain things to your mother and grandparents, so that they understand what is at stake here.
"After the satyr arrives, and you have said your good byes, go to the beach near your house, both of you step in the water, with your bags and our gifts and I shall transport you to the Academy. When you arrive you will be in the domain of a Sea God even more ancient than myself, you might say he invented the sea. Give him this, and tell him that you give it to him with my compliments," Oceanus reached into his pocket and drew out a sand dollar handing it to Jesse. "Now, I am afraid that is all of the time we have for now, we will be able to speak again soon," he waved his hand and the scuba gear returned. Oceanus winked at Jesse, "Keep the shorts they look good on you. Now good bye my son, until we meet again,"
The next thing Jesse knew he was speeding up to the surface in a mass of bubbles, faster than anything he had ever seen. He broke the surface not far from where he had gotten in and swam to shore.
"Find what you were looking for mate?"
"Yeah I think I did, and then some,"
