## History

### Early Life

Pollux Mulligan was born to Marry Mulliga, a mortal woman and Kagu-tsuchi, of fire and the hearth on July 6, 2004 in Sapporo, Japan. Mary Mulligan was the daughter of a well respected scientist and inventor, and she inherited her father’s mind. Being the daughter of a wealthy weapons inventor, she had all that she could ever need to make her own inventions, and she did. Her adventurous and inventive mind is what initially drew Kagu-tsuchi attention, and the fact that she was a beautiful young woman *and* a virgin, only encouraged his feelings. Kagu-tsuchi first approached Mary at an auction for one of her newest inventions, a phone that took the appearance of a watch. Upon first meeting him she was not impressed with his romantic advances, something that only made him want her more, but over a few weeks, Kagu-tsuchi won her heart with a sweet and loving attitude towards her. After she became pregnant and Kagu-tsuchi left her, Mary was heartbroken and fell into a short depression. This incurred the pity of the god and he sent her a letter giving a fake excuse to why he had to leave, along with a rather ominous and mysterious warning about their son.

### Childhood

Pollux was born on the hottest month of the year: July. The 6th of of July to be exact. He was able to live quite comfortably in his early life,though at the age of 6 he was diagnosed with ADHD. Pollux went to a fancy private school in Japan at the age of 8, where he unknowingly met a satyr whose cover was a teacher at this particular school. The reason for meeting a satyr so early in his life was because Kagu-tsuchi still deeply loved Mary and wanted their child to be extra safe. This satyr befriended Pollux and kept a close eye on him. At 9 Pollux began showing the family genes, though at a greater level. He was smarter and more inventive than his mother, something of which she and her father were greatly pleased with, but he also had an unhealthy taste for adventure. He began running off frequently to explore the city and meet new people.

### First Monster Attack

At 11 he had his first monster attack. It was during one of his explorations in the city that a he was attacked by telekhines. He happened to be exploring the sewers at the time he stumbled across a group of 3 telekhines. The shock of seeing these horrid creatures alone could’ve killed him, but when they waddled towards him on their flippered feet, he began to laugh. The insulted telekhines grew angry and dived into a nearby pool of water. Still a bit confused as to who or what those strange creatures were, he walked to the pool and peered in. Suddenly one of them launched at him from the water and tried to pierce him with a spear, but Pollux quickly moved to the side. Then another reached out, grabbing his foot and pulling him into the water where they began drowning him. Pollux struggled to get free, but had no chance against them. Luckily for him though, the satyr got there and began playing his pipes, which summoned an angry water nymph, whose territory had become the sewers. This nymph saved Pollux and tossed the telekhines out.

After a couple flirts with the water nymph, the satyr took Pollux away. The satyr, who said his name was Forrest, told Pollux that he was a demigod, and that he needed to go to Camp Olympia. Pollux refused, saying all he wanted to do now was go home, so Forrest him. Once home, Forrest tried to convince Pollux's mother to send him to a "boarding school." She declined, saying that anything a boarding school could teach him, she and her father could teach him better. A fairly over-confident thing to say, but that's the kind of person she was. A year later he was attacked again, this time by a giant scorpion. Forrest was again watching over him and used his magic to trap the monster long enough for them to escape. After Pollux refused a second time to go to Camp Olympia, Forrest called for help. He knew he couldn’t keep protecting this untrained demigod for long.

### Life Afterwards and His Journey to Camp

A week after his 12th birthday, Pollux was again attacked. Two harpies had started chasing him through the streets, but this time, instead of being saved by Forrest, a trained demigod leaped to his rescue. It was a 17 year old son of Zeus who saved him. The son of Zeus killed both harpies with ease, and did so in the most impressive way possible, as to incur the admiration of the younger demigod so he’d be more willing to go to camp. This tact did win Pollux's admiration, but he still refused to go to camp. He cared too much for his family to leave them. A month had passed after Pollux's 13th birthday and was hopeful that no monsters would attack him, no such luck, as 2 hell hounds chased him around the local park, Again he was saved by the son of Zeus, whose name was Richard, Rick for short. Again Rick asked Pollux to go to camp with him, where he could learn to fight like him, but again Pollux refused, though the idea of learning to fight like that did appeal to him. So thinking it better than letting him go without training, Rick agreed to teach him. They met at an old boxing training room every day at 5:00 for intense training.

4 Months before his 14th birthday, he and Rick were attacked by 3 hell hounds. 2 went for Rick while the 3rd launched at Pollux. This wouldn't have been a problem, if that one wasn't the size of a large truck. Pollux spent the first few moments evading the monsters attacks before actually swinging at it. He managed to cut it's legs a couple times but he couldn't get close enough to kill it. After a few minutes of this, Rick had finished the two he was dealing with and made a flying charge at the side of the 3rd. He slammed into its body with the point of his sword first and it fell over. Being such a big monster Rick had to stab it an extra few times before it turned to dust. Pollux complained about not having a ranged weapon to use, as close quarters obviously wasn't his forte. Once, after his 14th birthday and while he was training with Rick they were attacked by a kere. The kere launched itself at Rick first, who was able to summon winds and fly out of the way, but then it turned to Pollux and attacked. Acting quickly, Pollux swiped at it and managed to cut its hand. As it hissed in pain Rick flew down and stabbed it in the back. After this incident Rick asked Pollux yet again, if he would finally come to Camp Olympia. Pollux refused, but for the last time.

Pollux returned home and immediately set to work building himself a state-of-the-art crossbow. Complete with a scope and a makeshift magazine for CB arrows, which Rick had given him, that would fall in place after drawing the bow back. This design was based off of the ancient Japanese crossbow. This project took him 2 months to complete and after finishing his crossbow, Pollux stole a regular hammer from his mother's work shop and rick Enchanted it to make it a flaming hammer, which worked almost like a lighter. Meanwhile he didn't stop training. Rick had set up a few makeshift targets with the help of Forrest so Pollux could train with his knew crossbow. He learned fast and before long had mastered his crossbow. Just in time as well, because half a year before his 15th birthday, they were attacked by a cyclops. Pollux was firing at some moving targets that he built when the cyclops burst into the room. As most monsters did, it attacked Rick first, who easily dodged it. Felix fired a few of his arrows into it, which only angered it. As it charged at Pollux, Rick flew by and cut its back in an attempt to regain its focus, and he did. It charged him again, but this time he yelled for Pollux to shoot it's head, which he tried, but the monster was moving a little too fast for him to shoot. Forrest was on his way to pay them a visit when he saw what was going on, so he used his magic and slowed the monster down, allowing Pollux to fire the arrow clean through the monster's head, and it became dust.

A month later, Pollux was showing Rick his flaming hammer, Rick wasn’t impressed however, until he knew it could work. Rick asked to try and send some fire waves, but while they were testing it 2 Keres attacked. The monsters were aiming for Rick, but as they passed Pollux, they broke the hammer and he was tripped onto a lower roof top. Rick noticed and instantly reversed his direction and ran back towards Pollux, and the keres. Rick attempted to run past the monsters, but they caught him and started ripping him apart with their claws. Rick managed to kill one, but he was too wounded to finish the fight. He fell from exhaustion onto the same roof as Pollux. Pollux was in shock. His best friend and greatest role-model had just been killed. He would’ve died right then and there as the last keres charged, except Forrest got there in time and magically stopped the monster. It only lasted for a few seconds, but that’s all Pollux needed. He grabbed his crossbow, loaded it with a CB arrow, then shot it through the eye and into the brain. The monster let out a terrifying shreek before exploding into gold dust. Pollux rushed to Rick’s side, who was still alive, if only barely. He asked Forrest if he could be healed. Forrest tried, but Rick was just too wounded to live. Just before he died, Rick asked Pollux if he would finally go to camp. Pollux finally agreed. Forrest took him to Camp Olympia by plane before he could be attacked again. They flew to California and were able to make it to camp. Pollux was soon claimed by Kagu-tsuchi

## Personality

Pollux is known to be a spunky teenage boy with a love for adventure. He's a thrill-seeker and a very brave person. Pollux is also somewhat reckless and a bit…dumb? I mean he does know things but he can be stupid at times, which is why Gianna calls him her least favorite member of the choir. Pollux is also very humbled in a way but he is also very mischievous and creative with buildings and mechanics. Pollux is both outgoing and shy. Sometimes he gets in certain moods that make him want to be alone. Other times he is a social butterfly it just depends on who he is talking to as well. Constructing something usually causes moods where he just wants to be alone. Pollux is very friendly with others. Unless of course he's meeting you for the first time. Then he tends to be shy when it comes to meeting new people. Pollux is energetic, though when he is in the workshop, his mouth is glued and he goes full focus mode. Overall though, if you were to see him on a normal day, he would probably be pretty chill, and happy to see you. Pollux is a strong-hearted person like most of his family. He's very brave and loyal despite his age and is willing to sacrifice his own life to preserve others. He may be young, but has a real fire burning within him, and can be difficult to face in combat. He can be known to be pretty annoying though, and usually shows natural aggression to Gianna, who he has a rivalry with. He respects people and their choices and believes they are doing what they think is what they want. He's sociable and emphatic, and looks after the well-being of his friends; if you've been having a bad day, you can count on Pollux to show up with a hanky and a shoulder to lean on. He's been known to compliment and high-five strangers in the hallway, offer food to people in the dining hall and cheer for people who use the recycling bins when he passes them by. With his mother pushing him, Pollux tries his best in combat, but the only reason he claims he's good at it is because “I'm just winging it”. Pollux really loves crafts. Whether it's knitting, baking, or making a birdhouse, there's not a creative art Pollux won't try at least once, which is why he joined the Choir. He's eager to learn, and a hard worker - if you have an artsy skill to teach, you'd be sure to find an attentive student in Pollux. Overall, Pollux is a very interesting person
