## History

### Early Life

Helios Price was born to Helios, titan of he Sun, Sight, Heat, and Measurement of Time and Apollonia Price, a clear sighted mortal. Apollonia Price was 18 and stripper in Tallahassee, Florida. She never really acted like one but she had no choice, she had to support her drunken father. She was extremely beautiful, her hair was long and extremely curly but the men at the club liked it straight. One night after doing her thing on stage, one of her co-workers told her that she had a special guest waiting for a lap dance in her dressing room. She sighed she rarely gave things like those. She entered her room, waiting for her to be a very handsome man. He looked He looked 20 maybe? No way to explain it he was just.. *hot...* She nervously flipped her hair and did her thing to the god. He saw how tense she was and told her to stop. He gave her his number, kissed her on the cheek and left her in her dressing room. Truth was that Helios didn't like the fact that someone as young as her was showing her body for money.

She later went home and found a note on the counter saying that her father was out of town for a week. She smiled and called Helios. He introduced himself as Logan and they talked for hours. He asked her out on a date, and the next day things went down quickly. They found themselves at her home, declothed, and on her bed. None of them objected to what had happened. The next day, she was alone in her bed. A letter was left on the bed table..

***Letter -***

*Hey beautiful,*

*There are somethings I need to tell you. First, I'm a god on Mount Olympus. My real name is Helios. Our child, who is named after me, is a demigod. I know that because I'm the god of prophecies! I know stuff. ;)*

*Don't tell him he's a demigod til' his first attack.*

*I know you love it, there's also a map of a camp behind this note, a place where our kid will be safe.. Take him there when you want.*

*PS - The weapon will only reveal itself to our son*

*Love ya. - Helios*

Nine months later, Apollonia bore a son. She named him after what Helios had called him and took great care of him. Her father wasn't happy with this at all. He kicked her out and left her on the streets to rot. She quit her job as a stripper and got a job at a local supermarket. She and Junior lived at a foster home for a while (she was 18 at the time) until she mustered up enough money to get a small apartment. She then got a job as a maid, working for the upper class in her city. It paid well but she was working many hours a day. Junior never complained to his mother. He was always grateful as a child. He never asked for much either.

### Childhood

At school, Junior was known as the smart jokester. The teachers never *always* hated him, they tolerated him... usually. As Tannor grew older he help a lot more sadness he let on. His mother wasn't always happy. But she laughed and smiled for his sake. He didn't have any *actual* friends, most were just there for the jokes.

### A Series of Attacks

He was 11, kicking stones in an alley way leading to his home. He heard a low growl, but he ignored it. He then sensed something following him. He was soon running home. But the demonic figure caught up to him. It tackled him from the back, causing him to scrap his knee and hit his head on the ground. He shoved the hell hound away with his book bag, and ran yelling for help. He made it to his house out of breath and slammed the door behind him. His mom was off work and asked him what was wrong. He started bawling, since he was scared out of his mind. His mom comforted him and gave him the weapon. It was a gold ring. He twisted it and twin blades shot out and fell into his hands. He later heard howling and took care of the beast. He almost died, but he managed. At the age of 12, he fought an empousa who was trying to seduce him into dating her. He turned her down and she got *really* mad. She pounced on him and succeed. He pushed her away and twisted his ring. He slashed right while she ducked and jabbed forward. He was lucky and at the end of the day he won. Sadly, he got a whole bunch of scratches and a bite mark on his neck. Something he wouldn't be eager to explain to his mom.

### Life Goes On

At this point Junior was average height and athletic. He got the attention of many girls. He wasn't much of a player but girls almost threw themselves at him. When he was 12 he was attacked by a baby cyclops. This cyclops was very full of himself and posed as a jock. Junior took him down in the boys locker room easily while the one-eyed monster was boasting about how many girls he'd eaten. Junior didn't appreciate the fact that boys or men used females for pleasure. It was sick and disgusting. At 12 Junior had this one girl that he actually liked. They went out for a few months before she dumped him on a date. Turns out *she* used *him.* That was the day when he realized how messed up the world was. On his way home from he was attacked by 2 hell hounds. It was a short fight. but he managed to get his borrowed suit dirty and clawed. He and his mother moved to a better, more appealing home when he turned 13. She had managed to get them out of the low class by working hard and Junior loved and admired her for that. One of the workers who were moving the furniture attacked him. It was a cyclops... obviously. He didn't fight that one. It was stupid enough to follow him in a busy street. The cyclops was hit by a car, and became monster juice on the asphalt.

### Coming to Camp

On his 13th birthday, his mom threw him a small party, with close relatives and her dad. The party was outside and a hungry harpy swooped down and tried to attack the cake, but he threw a book at it and it fell onto a nearby tree. It crippled to the ground. While it flew, he threw one of his blades at it and it exploded into dust. His mother then realized how she couldn't keep her growing boy forever and sent him to camp. The two went by train and encountered many monsters. Junior protected his mother easily and willingly. When they got to Long Island they took a cab to Camp Olympia. He arrived at camp (age of 13) and was instantly claimed as the son of Helios. He kissed his mother goodbye and was greeted by his new family.

## Personality

Helios is a kind and perky demigod. Helios likes making friends and practicing archery with other archers but he has an ongoing feud with the Apollo kids, more specifically Melody since the two are the same age. Helios is also best friends with Selena since the two were born on the same day, in the same year and they’re cousins. Helios is often described as the personification of sunshine, being very optimistic and perky. Unlike Selena, Helios is loud and outgoing and is known for making friends fast but likes hanging out with the people he trusts. Helios is, unsurprisingly, a soft and bright boy. He is naturally warm, friendly and loves to be around people. Helios is fairly sociable and communicative, is acquaintances with everyone and friends with many, and is arguably one of the most friendly guys around. He likes to talk to everyone and there isn't a single student who hasn't heard of him at school. Helios is overall a very kind guy. He tries his best to make people feel special and happy. Helios loves helping people and he's the kind of guy who'd give hours of his day to help others. He loves books almost as much as a child of Athena would. He likes learning new things and enjoys spending time with friends. He cares deeply for his friends and treasures them, making them feel special. Sam is a cheerful, friendly, funny, happy, and upbeat young boy. He's always supportive and helpful to his friends. He's the most loyal friend anyone can find. Although, when he's scared, panicked, or fearful, he tends to eat a lot of corn for some reason, and chews loudly and quickly. Sam is a rather smart guy but tends to play the fool. He is nice to those who don't tick him off. And he is always ready for a fight. He loves his sister to death and will destroy anyone who tries to hurt her. You may find Helios happy and social at times but you may find him sad and gloomy sometimes. Long story short, he is somewhat bipolar. He doesn't like to be bothered when he is writing a novel or a poem and he doesn't like to be bothered when he is thinking of something. He isn't that social and the only person he enjoys being by his side is his cousin. He likes to shun people especially if he is getting bored and has nothing to do. He enjoys writing and literature and speaking in different languages to confuse people.

### Fatal flaw

Helios' fatal flaw is hubris. He often thinks he the best at everything and this can lead to him getting in trouble or even his down fall

## Appearance

Helios, when you first meet him, is nothing like his cousin. Helios has the smooth dark skin of his mother and curly and soft blond hair of his father, that shines in the daylight. His eyes are shimmering blue, that girls swoon over and he is described as having a tall frame. He is often seen wearing a gray shirt with the sun on it, a yellow hoodie, jeans, and black slip-on shoes.

Helios and his dad have a pretty distant relationship. The titan was honored when he saw that his son was named after him, and he tries to show his son that he does love him. Helios Jr. does want to honor his dad, but does somewhat dislike him for leaving him as a child, other than that, they are pretty okay

## Etymology

Price or Pryce is a patronymic name derived from the Welsh "ap Rhys" meaning **"son of Rhys"**. The given name Rhys means "enthusiasm" in Welsh. It is a common surname among those of Welsh ancestry.
