## History

### Early Life

Ethan Reyes was born to Luna Reyes, a clear sighted mortal and Erebus, the primordial god of Darkness, shadows, and mist in Montpelier, Vermont on January 18, 2004. Luna met Erebus while visiting her family in Montpelier, and after a few dates Luna got pregnant with Ethan and gave birth to him 9 months later. But then he just disappeared but before he left he told her that he was a Greek god and that Ethan would be a demigod.

### Childhood

When Ethan was one, Luna left for Germany where she raised him with lots of love from her parents. Later on she got married to a preschool teacher named John, he also had a daughter named Despina who grew up to be Ethan's older sister. While in the 4th grade of school Ethan joined a gymnastics club which he excelled at and loved. But during that time Ethan did see a lot of people with extra arms, heads and even some that had one eye. He thought he was going mad and just kept it to himself

### Monster Encounter

But when Ethan turned 13 he learned from his mum who his dad was and that Ethan was a demigod. After he said that, Ethan went to do archery lessons so he could fight off anything that would come after him. Then while out in a forest doing target practice, a five headed hydra came out of nowhere and charged towards Ethan. He tried to kill it with his arrows but they just bounced off of it. Just before Ethan thought he was going to die a group of girls with bows came out behind the hydra, cut off its heads then peppered it with flaming silver arrows.

### Coming to Camp

It all shocked Ethan and was thinking of running away when one of the girls went over to him and took him to Artemis. She told him that she knew he was a demigod and was asked to pick him up to be brought to Camp Olympia, Los Angeles, California  Also Atremis mentioned that he was lucky that she was on the trail of the Hydra, or else he could have been killed already. Artemis got the local Satyr and told him to take Ethan to the Camp. And 1 week later Ethan walked into camp borders and was claimed.

## Personality

Ethan is a very courageous and impetuous boy who is driven by his goals, often stopping at nothing to achieve them. He is also a well-trained fighter. He often speaks in this monotone voice and has a morbid personality, often talking about death or pain. He likes to read books with heartbreaking endings like Romeo and Juliet because he can. He also gets along well with George and Evan, who are some of his closest friends. He is also a fan of the Hunger Games, which is his favorite book series. Himself often sees him, or with the Jr. Council. Ethan is a quiet, reserved guy. He doesn't much like talking to other people, apart from family, due to his social anxiety. He often shies away from group tasks, and doesn't join any clubs apart from the other underworld demigods. He often doesn't feel comfortable around crowds of people, because he has quite a fear of being stampeded. He's not technically antisocial, because he would definitely love to interact with more people, but it takes a long time. However, in every other part of life, Ethan has his life together. His grades are top, he's getting the best time in swimming, and he's starting connections with his family members. Responsibility runs through his veins, because Ethan always knows what to do in a situation; teachers know they can trust him to do the work properly and on time. Unfortunately, this exceptional work ethic usually dwindles when he has to work in a group, for obvious reasons. When he *is* in a group, however, Ethan tends to be so silent that people forget he's there, which can become interesting when the others in the group start to gossip. Ethan knows so much gossip that he could blackmail people, a fact he finds oddly terrifying. He knows who's dating who, who's cheating on who, and who's murdering who (true story). Ethan doesn't understand how people can freely give away those secrets; he will never disclose his. Ethan is not one for mushy, gooey affectionate scenarios. He can come off as cold-hearted when he speaks to his friends, because of how indifferent and callous he is. He stays critical of a lot of things, refraining from giving praise and relishing in pointing out flaws in people's plans. He is a tactical man, preferring to plan out everything, including how he speaks, and large bursts of emotion can catch him off-guard. Showing his appreciation for someone is limited through unbridled sarcasm and jokes. Ethan does love his family and friends very much, and has a crippling fear of being separated from them permanently. This can make him very jealous of anyone who takes their time, as certain people have had to find out the hard way. He's very clingy, and so willing to please them in order to keep them in his life that he's prepared to risk his life for them. There's only been one time that Ethan has let his emotions overcome him had to do with this problem.

### Fatal flaw

Ethan's fatal flaw is his hubris as he tends to think highly of himself

## Appearance

Ethan is described as a scary looking seventeen year old boy. Like most underworld kids, Ethan has midnight black, close-cropped hair, slightly tanned olive skin, light freckles, blue eyes, and unlike the other underworld kids, he wears lighter closes like a maroon shirt, jeans, black sneakers, and black slap bracelets

The two of them get along well since both their parents represent darkness. Nancy and Ethan treat each other like siblings and they like hanging out with the other primordial demigods

### Family

#### Erebus (Father)

Does Ethan love his father? Yes. Does he show this in any way? No. To be fair, neither Erebus nor Ethan are very vocal about their emotions, and they're aware of this. Sometimes, when it's just the two of them, they sit in silence, enjoying the others' company.

#### Luna (Mother)

Ethan seems to be a momma’s boy. He is. You can tell just from the way Luna dotes on him to the point where you could even get a smile out of the usually callous boy.
