## History

### Early Life

Callisto Lunetta was born to Máni, god of the moon and Selene Lunetta, a mortal woman in Saratoga Springs, New York on August 12, 2004. Selene Lunetta is a successful woman. She is an artist, actress and a singer. In 2004, she filmed a Movie called Dance with Me, which lured Máni. He took the appearance of a young man and at the night after the premiere, Callisto was conceived. Máni was with Selene for nine months. Callisto was born on August 12, 2004 in New York. Máni told Selene that he is actually a god and that he needs to get back at Asgard. Selene had a breakdown and had tried to kill Callisto, but Máni stopped her. She thought that if she kept trying, Máni will keep coming back, but he didn't. She realized that the risk was too big and stopped doing it.

However, Máni didn't trust her. He sent one of the nymphs from the camp to keep a closer look at Selene. Her name was Emily. Thanks to the mist, Emily looked like an ordinary woman. Due the fact that Selene was a busy woman, she needed a nanny. Emily moved in Selene's mansion and became Callisto's nanny. Selene decided to hide Callisto from the publicity.

### Childhood

Emily knew that he was a demigod and a child of Máni. Thus, she accepted his music talent. At the age of three, he was able to memorize easy kid songs and sing them like a professional. Then Máni contacted her. He told Emily that she should try to teach him a foreign language, French to be more precise. Due to Callisto's excellent memory, he was able to memorize the basic words and was capable of making simple sentences. His dyslexia didn't stop him from learning French and he decided it won't stop him in anything, anytime. He became determined. Selene was proud of him, but was still hiding him from the media.

At the age of six, Callisto got registered at primary school. He was an excellent pupil and he caught everyone's attention due the fact that he was interested in constellations and space. Luckily, no one figured out that he was a demigod. Suddenly, at the age of six he lost the interest for constellations what-so-ever, but he became obsessed with violins. He started to get tutored by an unknown man. The man said he has a natural talent for the violin, as well for singing. He suggested that he starts making covers for old songs, such as The Beatles' songs. Callisto asked his mom, but she refused angrily. Also, she fired the man and has confiscated Callisto's guitar. Selene thought that she was protecting him that way. Unlike other demigods, Callisto didn't have much problems with school. He didn't made any incidents and was just like any other normal child. For his tenth birthday he got a gold moon shaped good luck charm from his mother. She told him that it was special and as long as he had it, nothing bad would happen to him. He listened to her and always carried it around in his pocket. At the age of eleven, Selene bought Callistow a Gibson violin which he played almost all the time.

### His World Changes

Callisto reached fourteen and things drastically changed. One day, he was in a park and a wild Dracanae appeared out of nowhere and has started to chase him. As the beast was three feet behind him, he hit it with his guitar, but nothing happened. Since he wasn't able to defeat it, he decided to outsmart it. He ran and was hoping that a car would hit it and it happened, but nothing happened. He was still running, but the Dracanae was a lot faster then him and was slowly catching up with him. After 30 seconds, the Dracanae was 10 meters away behind him. He realized it was futile to run and decided to battle it with his own fists. He put his hands forwards, trying to protect himself but a beam of plasma was shot from his hands. However, it didn't hurt Dracanae much, but it scared it. The Dracanae ran away in fear. Callisto came home and told Emily what has happened to him. She quickly packed his stuff and told him that they need to hurry before other monsters come. Emily left Selene a note that said that they left at the camp due the fact that Callisto got attacked by a monster. They took Selene's car and headed towards the airport for California. After a few hours on the plane, they headed for Big Bear, and Callisto was able to make it to Camp with out any problems. He was later claimed by Máni that day

## Personality

To the naked eye, Callisto is a stoic, stern and down to earth boy who keeps to himself. Despite that, he would always try to show off academically. As a textbook definition of a perfectionist, Callisto won't rest until things or people meet his standards and anything that is below them, isn't worth any of his time. Despite him being quite rough on the outside, if you manage to rip through the walls he has meticulously put up, you will discover a boy who is actually very sensitive, curious and eager to be of help to others in any way he can, yet he is anything but a people-pleaser and can easily discern when people take advantage of him. He has a tendency to subconsciously side with the underdog, despite being a royal himself, and is very compassionate with children and younger campers, knowing how much potential someone can hold and that success is a matter of persistence. Callisto values hard work the most and aims to do his best with whatever he's tasked with, usually going overboard and disregarding his own well-being, often ignoring his own needs. After his run in with King Menelaus, Callisto has developed a problem with authority and can be described as defiant and stubborn. His very individualistic personality also gives him a lot of trouble in group-based activities. A hero at heart, Callisto lives for the thrill. He thrives off taking risks, off having his fate hang on a dice throw or a card hand. Whether he wins or loses doesn't even matter to him, he is solely in it for the fun of it. Unfortunately for him, this philosophy isn't exclusive to games. Callisto is always searching for the next gamble to take, whether that be trying to charm a teacher to get away with forgetting his homework, or trying to catch a knife one-handed. If there's one thing people know about him, it's his constant, never ending bad decisions that constantly drive him into difficult corners. Still though, it's hard to pity him at all, when he's so abnormally good at succeeding despite it. Callisto is wildly successful in everything he does, through nothing but gaming the odds at every turn. Callisto sees life as a game, and he plays very fast and loose with it. He has a wild, anarchic feel to him, with a tendency to laugh in the face of any rules. He's incredibly opportunistic, and his constant challenging of them has an equal chance of coming off as amusing or as tedious. Callisto is cocky, self involved and awkward at talking and overall is rather abrasive. He's also a rather frank person, and often says things that come off as insulting without thinking. It's not intentional on his part, he just doesn't think through his phrasing. People find it hard to pin him down- on one hand he's kind of aggravating and unreliable, but on the other he's surprisingly upright. He honors the promises he makes, and always upholds his end of any bargain. He has a distinctly devil-may-care attitude towards life. He can shrug off anything, bad or good, almost to the point of complete indifference. This allows him to go with the flow and he's pretty open to trying anything once. However on the flip side, he has poor self preservation skills, and never seems to set boundaries. He also has zero impulse control. Actually, scratch that, he has some impulse control but as soon as it appears, it's quickly eroded away. Despite his impulsive attitude, Callisto is very analytically minded. He's great at sizing up risk vs reward, as well as calculation and strategy. It comes to him naturally, and he can effortlessly assess any situation. However when it comes to how much he uses this skill, his mileage varies wildly. As a person, Callisto tends to keep to himself, seemingly content to indulge his own hobbies without involving others. He doesn't participate in what other people are doing unless they invite him first, and he's generally not someone who influences others to any degree. He's self involved in the sense that he's always thinking about himself first and foremost. However this doesn't mean he's selfish, or uncaring towards others; he's just caught up in his own thoughts. That said, Callisto is lonely. He's very concerned about the idea that he's not very likable, and desperately wishes he was. If someone takes any sort of interest in him, he tries his best to make them like him by trying to impress them or by letting them win against him- really he'll try both if he thinks it'll work. Callisto is extremely excited for his destiny. Destined to 'own half the world', Callisto is well aware of the prestige destiny promises him, and he finds the prospect incredibly thrilling. He's very ambitious, and his desires for grandeur almost border on megalomania- Callisto is willing to put himself in any situation if he thinks it'll grant him prestige. In pop culture, his legacy has been obscured by his popularity as a stock movie character, a legendary, suave and charming gambler, and it's clear that Callisto clings to this portrayal in lieu of a role model. On some level Callisto just wants to feel seen, and grasping power feels like a way to get that. It's hard to fully articulate Callisto’s personality without mentioning the remnant of his predecessor's personality that is constantly influencing him, like a devil on his shoulder. It erodes his impulse control, and frequently causes him to do things he doesn't actually want to do, like self sabotage because the heightened risk is more exciting. Callisto is a person of dualities, whose priorities and values shift a lot depending on how in control he is at that given moment. Sometimes he cares deeply about winning and losing, while other times he's apathetic. Sometimes he's desperate for power, other times he just wants to have fun. Either way, Callisto is constantly struggling to fight against a power that constantly undermines his rational brain, and it's very much a struggle. Due to this Callisto is deeply worried about his identity. He cares a lot about establishing who he is as a person, so he can hold on to that and maintain some semblance of self to cling to when it gets hard. When he's successful, he's a lot more in control of himself, but if his resolve slips, due to stress or tiredness you can tell because he stops caring about anything beyond the thrill. However, establishing who you are as a person is easier said than done, and Callisto struggles to figure it out. What parts are Callisto, and what parts are Máni? Callisto knows that there's no real way of knowing at this point. People who knew him before the incident remember him being quiet and contemplative. Many described him as cautious, as well as a thinker, who would carefully analyze situations before even thinking of participating. They described him as being clever- but then most people talk up the virtues of children. Callisto supposes that had nothing happened, he'd probably be something like that- after all people do retain broadly the same personality through the years- but then again, who can say? He has no way of knowing, and the older he gets, the less he feels like his eight-year-old self is a remotely authentic reference for what kind of person he is, beneath the curse. On top of this, Callisto’s strange circumstances make him desperate to find anyone who he can relate to. Due to the way his destiny works, he can only have it if his predecessor is gone, and with what's left being obfuscated by pop culture portrayals, Callisto feels like he's got no one to turn to for guidance. On some level Callisto can't help but resent people who don't respect their predecessors, because he doesn't get that privilege. Callisto has to navigate everything about destiny alone, and this makes him feel deeply isolated. This causes him to have an intense interest in any and all media about his predecessors and his role, as he looks for anything he can relate to. So that's Callisto. A daredevil of a gambler struggling to cope with a power that isn't quite his. While this may be a curse, the things he's read about others that carry Máni’s powers have offered him a few glimmers of hope. Apparently if their energies are properly channeled they have the capacity to be highly confident, motivated and successful, and those qualities are definitely present in him. It's just a matter of figuring out how to come into his own.

Callisto's fatal flaw is his un-dying loyalty to his friends. He would do anything to keep his loved one safe from harm, even if he sacrifice himself to do so.

No, his mother is *not* the titaness Selene, but a mortal who shares the same name. They have an interesting relationship. When Callisto was born and his father left, Selene had a breakdown and had tried to kill Callisto, but Máni stopped her. She thought that if she kept trying, Máni will keep coming back, but he didn't. She realized that the risk was too big and stopped doing it. Selene kept Callisto from the media, but also hated it when he began to show interest in the violin, he doesn't talk to her much anymore
