## History

### Early Life:

Taylor was born on April 31st, 2010, to Kimberly Walker, his witch mother, and Robert Jackson, his human father, who already had a daughter, Alexis. Taylor didn't learn this until he was much older, but his mother, Kimberly had been sent by Eros, the god of love before he was born, to look after and protect Alexis, who was the daughter of the Greek goddess of love and beauty...Aphrodite. Growing up, Taylor was very attached to his sister, and followed Alexis everywhere she went, not being able to pronounce her name as a little kid, and instead calling her Exie until he was old enough to call her by her name and her chosen nicknames. He was also one of the only people who became immune to his sister's divine ability to charmspeak, resisting it as a four year old when Alexis tried to get him to get out of her seat when she wanted to watch TV, so instead, she resorted to bribery.

When he was ten years old, his mother, Kimberly sat him down in their living room when his dad and Alexis were out grocery shopping, and told Taylor that his sister was not a normal human. She reminded him of all the things that she did that were odd, or strange to other people around them, since she and Taylor were immune to the charmspeaking, and could see through the fog that it put normal humans in. Taylor knew that his dad was immune also, but all of the puzzle pieces finally started to fall into place with him, despite the fact that his mom hadn't told him who Alexis' mother was, and had decided to leave it to him and his sister to figure out later. She told him that he would likely come into his witch powers soon, and started training him on how to use them, this lasting all the way until Alexis graduated from high school early.

### Camp Half-Blood:

When Alexis graduated, she decided to take herself and Taylor on a road trip across the United States, something that Taylor initially said 'no' to before asking his mom if it was ok. Kimberly told him that the wards would stick to Alexis for at least a couple weeks, enough time for them to get to the East Coast, where Kimberly's sister lived, who could reinforce the wards around Alexis to keep her safe from monsters.

Unfortunately, this did not last, as they were found by demons when they were in Kentucky. They were attacked by them in the middle of the night, and Taylor killed the demon with an explosion as he came into his witch magic and the blood from the demon's vessel splattered all over Alexis. Taylor took her to the motel they had booked, and told her everything about her past, her divine mother, and why Kimberly had come into her life to begin with, and when she told him that she wanted to keep going, Taylor was annoyed but agreed.

They later arrived at Camp Half-Blood in Long Island, New York, where Taylor had been told to take Alexis when they got to the East Coast, and when they went in, Taylor was shocked that he was able to get though the boundary spells. He was later told by Chiron that it was because of his witch inheritance that he was granted access to the camp as he helped Alexis settle in. He stayed with his unclaimed sister in the Big House for the first night, after an embarrassing introduction for Alexis at dinner, before he and Dionysus, or 'Mr, D' went to get Alexis' things from their car on the outskirts of camp, while Chiron had planned to show her around the camp after breakfast.

When he and Mr, D returned from their baggage collection, Taylor found Alexis and Chiron in the Big House, and was stunned to see that his sister had been claimed by her godly parent. The second he saw his sister, Taylor had a split second of arousal that was sure to come from the child of Aphrodite being blessed with her divine beauty, before Alexis began to freak out and dragged Taylor into their shared room, going on a tirade of what happened for her to end up in a white dress, with flowers in her hair and bangles all over her arms and neck and legs. Taylor calmed her down, before they both went to Cabin 10, where she would be sleeping with other children of Aphrodite, and gave it a once over before he let Alexis be enchanted, waiting by her bed for her to notice his presence, which she eventually did, and handed him a bunch of photos on her phone to get processed at the nearest Walgreens, and brought back so that she could have pictures of her family while she was away from them.

Taylor accepted and did what she asked, and stayed at camp for another week, before he went to stay with his Aunt Anna, and the two of them spent the summer together, with his aunt training him in magic before he flew back to the West Coast with the promise that Alexis would take the car back when she came home from camp. He entered high school and began to have to live up to the hype of his bombshell sister, who returned to California in the fall and moved to Roseville, where she worked at Lululemon, before going into modeling.

## Appearance

Taylor is initially described to be a tall, fourteen year old boy, standing at 6'0" with tan skin from going to lakes constantly. He has blue eyes that Alexis tells him 'sparkle in the sun' and freckles on his face. His hair is white blonde, and he has been called Jack Frost and Elsa by his sister for his entire life because of the color of his hair. He gets a black nose ring when he is fifteen, and an eyebrow ring that his friend pierced himself in his room when he and Taylor were thirteen, which his mother was initially angry at, but dropped, and didn't tell him to take it out, and just lives with the fact that her son has two piercings that she never wanted him to get in the first place. He also has his ears pierced, and his mother didn't care about that either.

He likes to dress in what Alexis calls 'beige, depression clothes' which consist of mostly browns and beiges, with some flannel red, black and white sprinkled in, and for some reason that neither his mother, father, or sister understand, Taylor is always able to have perfectly white shoes, no matter where he goes. Since he was growing up, Taylor had a love for necklaces and jewelry, having his ears pierced at thirteen, his eyebrow at thirteen, and his nose at fifteen, he always had some kind of bling on him, and after he turned sixteen, Taylor began to accessorize with chains and necklaces, along with bracelets.

His clothing of choice is jeans and sweats, paired with band shirts that he always gets stolen from him by Alexis, with belts on occasion, white shoes, unless it's raining, then black boots, soft flannels, hoodies, jackets of either jean material, leather, or windbreaker. He has an affinity for snowboarding, so he has a wide range of warm clothes for that.

## Personality

Taylor is the polar opposite of his sister, Alexis and is very extroverted and confrontational. He is brash and has no care for what comes out of his mouth as long as he believes what he is saying, and knows that he is right in how he believes it to be, and is willing to contradict anyone who thinks that they can challenge him, either physically, or intellectually. He is more confident than most of his family members, but isn't so confident that he can be perceived as snobbish and self-centered, and is in fact, very grounded, due to his mother raising him with the mindset of a witch.

After coming into his witch powers, Taylor learns to work with his power, and be more in his own space, and less out in the wild with other people who think that they have some kind of say in his life. He became very resistant to things that he wasn't as resistant to before, and his beliefs became amplified, such as his confrontational nature, and his willingness to speak his mind, no matter the consequences, which often landed him in trouble with people and teachers who had to have him around them.

Aside from all of that, the biggest trait that Taylor grew up with was one of stubbornness and loyalty, both coming from his father, and traits that his sister got from him as well. Alexis was more loyal than stubborn, while Taylor was the most stubborn person to walk on planet Earth, making some people shake their heads in shame, while others, who knew his dad, knew that Taylor was just acting like Robert.

## Abilities

Taylor can achieve a variety of powers or abilities through his use of witchcraft and spell casting.

* **Spell Casting:** Taylor has the power to change and control events through the use of incantations and more, such as casting a death spell, a teleportation spell, or a fire spell. He is gifted in his mastery of offensive spells, like pain infliction spells, and blood freezing spells, muscle disruption, and manipulation of water in the body.
* **Channeling:** Taylor has the power to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces.
* **Potion Brewing:** Taylor has the power to brew and concoct potions, remedies, and elixirs that have supernatural properties with varying effects.
	+ **Telekinesis:** The power to move objects and persons through mental influence.
	+ **Pain Infliction:** The power to create excruciating migraines or aneurysms through supernatural means.
	+ **Elemental Control**: The power to control and manipulate the elements of air, earth, fire, and water.
* **Divination:** Taylor has the power to see divine future, past, and present events based on extrasensory perception.
	+ **Clairvoyance:** The power to divine future, past or present events through instinctive knowledge.
	+ **Intuition:** The power to divine future, past or present events through the use of instinctive knowledge.
	+ **Premonitions:** The power to divine future, past or present events through the observation and study of dreams.
	+ **Projection:** The power to separate from one's body and project the mind to another location or to instantaneously travel from one point to another. Such as when he teleported himself into another place.
	+ **Telepathy:** The power that allows witches to access the minds of others through spells. Taylor has done this on multiple occasions with different humans.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** The power to control people's dreams through spells. Taylor has shown this when he manipulated Chiron's dreams to show him what he needed to know about Alexis' mother, Aphrodite.

## Weaknesses

* **Distraction:** Denying Taylor from concentrating or giving full attention to his spells, may render them ineffective. Since most spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, Taylor is vulnerable to attack before completion. Additionally, certain spells require items, tools, and or special events during casting, therefore they can't be invoked on a mere whim.
* **Emotions:** Taylor's magic is subject to the influence of his emotional state and may fluctuate, especially when untrained.
* **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause him to lose consciousness and prevent him from using magic for an undetermined amount of time. The Lobelia flower prevents concentration and, therefore, the practice of magic and can be used to temporarily weaken him.
* **Witchcraft:** Taylor is still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical and dark objects. A siphoner can siphon the magic from him and prolonged exposure is said to lead to death.
* **Mortality:** Despite mystical attributes, Taylor is still human and share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, snapped neck, etc.).

## Etymology

**Taylor:** What does the name Taylor mean? An Anglo-French occupational surname, Taylor is thought to have arrived through the Norman occupation, derived from the Old French 'tailleur' (cutter of cloth) or English 'tailor'.

**Jackson:** The last name Jackson has a deep-rooted history. It's a patronymic surname, which means it was created from the name of a father or ancestor. The name has its origins in the English language, and when translated, it essentially means “son of Jack.”

**Walker:** The Walker surname is an occupational name that has been seen since the 1200s, from the Germanic 'walker', someone who engaged in fulling. Fulling was a pre-industrial step of clothmaking that involved thickening fabric (usually wool) by beating it with the feet or hands.
