## History

### Early life

George Flores was born to Diademia Flores, a clear sighted mortal and Thanatos, the god of Peaceful death in Canberra, Australia on October 31, 2004. Diademia Flores was a surgeon and a clear sighted mortal She worked in the best hospital in all of Australia .Her reputation was that she had never failed a single surgery, many men lusted after her and her money but she was simply not interested, until one night. On one particularly cold night, Diademia was staying back for an extra shift to do some paperwork when the doors to the entrance burst open and a man who was bleeding heavily from a car crash rushed to the surgery theater. She was the leading surgeon but she was tired and had absentmindedly forgotten to drink a cup of coffee before she entered the theater. While performing the surgery, she had begun to lose focus and, while doing a heart transplant for the man, accidentally cut away an artery. He began to lose blood very quickly and Diademia tried to stop the blood flow but it was too late, the man died of blood loss. The family of the man was angry at Diademia for supposingly 'murdering' the man. Her reputation had gone down the toilet and people began to gossip that Diademia would be fired. She was stressed about the gossip and couldn't get it out of her mind. She knew her future was ripped to pieces. With guilt, she went to the deceased man's hospital room and was surprised to see a man standing near the bed of the hospital.

He had turned to look at her and Diademia was going to shout for help but stopped short when the man said that he was a friend of the man. Diademia felt guilty again and apologized for screwing up the dead's surgery. The man seemed unfazed by this and he said, "Death was coming for this man anyway, you just quickened the pace a bit." Diademia was very confused by this comment but felt a little drawn to the mysterious man and the man was drawn to her too. The man introduced himself as 'Tristan'. They began to exchange phone numbers and went on dates several time and finally, one fateful night, they had sex. The next morning, Diademia woke up to find that Tristan was gone and a letter was on the bedside table along with a pendant. It read. “Dear Diademia, By the time you have read this letter, I would already have gone to a far away place. Don't feel sad, my whole family has done this. My name is not Tristan but actually Thanatos, I am Hades' lieutenant and am a death god. You may feel angry, shocked or a bit scared but I can assure you that what I'm saying is true. I noticed that we didn't use protection last night so when our child comes out of your womb, make sure to give him this pendant, it will make him safe. I had also made everybody forget what happened with you and the deceased man. I wish you good luck with our child. From, Thanatos”

When Diademia had finished the letter, she was gobsmacked. She decided to forget what happened yesterday and go on to work. When she reached the hospital, she was surprised to find that everybody had forgotten what happened yesterday and greeted her with warm smiles. She had begun to believe that Thanatos really was a god. But was disappointed that she couldn't see him again. To forget about this fact, she began to become a workaholic. 2 months later, Diademia was becoming sick. She had thrown up everything that she had eaten in the toilet but she had dismissed this as a flu reaction. But the one thing that had her convinced was that she had missed her period. She had gone to the doctor and the doctor told her that she was pregnant. Diademia was shell shocked at the statement as she started to walk home, thinking of aborting it. She remembered the ultrasound picture of the little baby and she instantly tossed away the thought of aborting it. It had become a hard task but Diademia took baby leave from the hospital and had given birth to a beautiful baby boy on Halloween night. The doctor asked her what she wanted to name the baby and she smiled while saying in a tired tone “George… George Flores"

### Childhood

When George was four, he was this bubbly kid that everybody loved. He rarely asked about his father and always thought that a pelican brought him down from the sky. However, there was one kid who kept on egging him on that he was a bastard child. George was upset by this news and went to ask his mother, Diademia was stunned by this question and mumbled out with a wistful look on her face. "Your father had died due to a car crash......" And nothing was said anymore. George never asked again as he knew that talking about his father is making his mother sad so he kept his mouth shut. When George was five, his mother took him to the local day care where he made some friends. One day, a couple of months into going there, he and his friends got bored one day and went into the bathroom, where they had those soap dispensers. George and the three other boys that were there decided it would be a good idea to “act like primates” and try and bust them open to get the soap out of it. The five year old busted them open, stole soap and then thought “You know what’s a good idea? Indoor Slip n Slide!” because the bathroom was made of tile.

After throwing all the soap on the ground and they began sliding “Disney on Ice style” and then one of the workers decided to go check on them “for legal reason” and proceed to call all of them out of the bathroom and since there was a wall, so the worker couldn’t see the soap and everyone began to run out and George was the last one. There was a four inch hang off from the bathroom to the carpeted hallway, so George went to turn 90 degrees to the left and “get away from the evidence” and he slipped on the four inch piece with his soapy shoes and he fell head first. According to him he “wasn’t born the innate reaction” of “i should stick out my arms” instead he basically went “Mr. Teeth, I believe in you, you’re a gamer” and so he just full force head butted the ground, all teeth. He had to get those teeth surgically removed and until he was around thirteen, he had no front teeth. Ever since he was seven, George loved going to the graveyards, always feeling that there was some connection between the place and he's father. Many people deemed this behavior as creepy but were too afraid of losing their popularity and kept their mouth shut. At the age of nine he was in the streets when he had a strong feeling going through his body. He tried to shrug it off but the feeling was even stronger than ever. He followed the feeling and it led him to a murder site. He saw the spirit of the victim and he ran away to his home, quickly dismissing that it was his lack of sleep. At the age of nine, he became interested in baseball. He had a knack for it so he managed to get into the school team. However, he thought that his life was normal until when he was ten. Diadema knew that she had to bring him to camp but she was acting selfish and didn't do it otherwise.

### Monster Attack

George was just having a normal trip to school but when he walked past a dark alley, a huge scorpion came out and attacked George. It's big stinger went to George’s chest but he miraculously dodged it. The necklace that George always wore fell off his neck and he grabbed it but the scorpion's huge stinger went for his face. He closed his eyes, waiting for the searing pain that was coming but he heard a metal clink and he looked up. The pendant that was in his hands turned into a scythe that had deflected the attack from the monster. His eyes had widened but the monster had swung his stinger for another attack. He managed to dodge it and because of pure luck, he managed to run and slide underneath the scorpion's underside and stab it. It exploded into gold dust. Breathing heavily, he decided to skip school and ran back home. Diademia found out what happened and immediately moved to another country, America, more specifically, Arizona. As George got used to the town, he began to mix more intimately with mortals so George’s scent got mixed with the humans as the monster steered clear of him. However, at the age of eleven, a huge pigeon-like bird appeared when he was at the park with a friend and he gulped. He had run from the date and left his friend alone. He started to run away but five birds followed him. He spotted a Chinese restaurant and a gong, he had read about Heracules' myths and hit the gong. The birds were confused by the loud sound and George took this chance to kill every single bird using his scythe. At twelve while he was at the store to get milk. A snake woman appeared and tried to get him with her tails. His eyes widened as he dodged the attacks and mainly avoided her tail. The Dracanae stabbed George unfortunately and had a deep graze against George’s arm. The Dracanae tried to stab George again but he managed to disarm her quickly, after that, he had stabbed the Dracanae and she exploded into dust.

### Coming to Camp

After the attack with the Dracanae, George and his mother decided to move to New York since Thanatos came to Diadema in a dream saying that she needed to send him to Camp Olympia but Diademia wanted to wait a bit more. It was here where Diademia began to foster an eight year old girl named Maria Angelos, who George loved more than anything. After a couple of weeks of going to school, he was attacked by a harpie and his mother had tried to protect him but was knocked unconscious. George had made sure Maria was safe and ran out to the city. He was chased by the harpy but because of the mist, only saw him getting chased by a bird. As he ran, he was guided by the voice of his father who helped him find his way to camp. Once at the camp borders, he passed out due to exhaustion. He was found by an older camper who brought him to the Infirmary. When George woke up he was being healed by a girl, around his age, with “Pretty golden eyes”. She explained that an older camper had found him and he was being healed. The girl also explained where he was and about the camp. George was soon let out of the infamy and had learned the girl’s name, Melody and her godly parent was Apollo. George was shown around camp by a random camper. George was claimed by Thanatos, making some campers fear him.

## Personality

George has a very morbid and peaceful personality which is common for a child of Thanatos, but this also in contrast with his girlfriend's loud and argumentative personality. He is very close to the Hades children and other kids of the underworld and prefers to be alone. Melody likes to refer to him as “The edgy character from an action movie” but he’s still friends with the others in Melody's friend group. He is a great fighter and is a very loyal friend. Also when it comes to games he’s not very energetic, he also has a slight crush on Melody and gave her the nickname Angel and later became her boyfriend. He is also skilled with the violin and knows how to play certain tunes. George is also very caring. He cares deeply for Tyler Solace, his best friend, and Melody. After the war with Gaia, he is seen with either Melody or Isaac and Damian, who usually gossip about other campers. George is often seen to sometimes overthink things but usually hides his anxious feelings. George is usually the one to help Melody with her panic attacks, staying by her side until the end and is always the one who makes sure she eats and sleeps since she has a habit of thinking she is still dead, even after he brought her back from Elysium. It is rare for him to get angry, but when he does, most things, like plants wilt, and the people around him start to wither as if they were dying. He is often considered "morbid" by others, which isn't untrue since he also has a nihilistic side, wherein he may sometimes mention the death of the universe, and the inevitability of death for everyone, something he wishes he didn't have since, he once made Melody have panic attack. Something he enjoys is talking in his "native" Australian tongue to confuse his friends. When you get to know him, George is a cool laid back guy who loves to play music and dance. He likes to joke around and hang out with his friends. George is often seen as protective, such as when he stated he'll do anything to make sure is younger foster sister, a mortal named Maria Angelos, safe from harm.

### Family

#### Thanatos (Father)

George and Thanatos's relationship is highly non-existent. His dad hardly ever talks to him outside of their school life, and when he does, it's a simple "hello" and "goodbye". George has nothing but kind words to say about his father, and vice versa, but they never say this to each other. They never say the bad either. If we are to be frank, they never say anything to each other at all. While George still holds a minor grudge about his father leaving him and his mother, he still loves him as his father

#### Diademia (Mother)

George loves his mother, Diademia Flores, dearly. He always wishes to make her happy and would do anything to keep her safe. He is very mindful of her safety. His mother is very protective of her son and was a *bit* worried about George going to Camp and leaving their home in Arizona, but George promised to write to her every week.

#### Maria Angelos (Foster sister)

George greatly loves his younger foster sister, Maria, and always makes sure she is happy. Because she has been in the foster system all her life, she was worried that she would just be abandoned like the rest of her foster care experiences. But George makes sure to show her that their family loves her
