## History

### Early Life

Damon Argos was born to Aphrodite, goddess of beauty, love, desire, passion, sexuality, pleasure, and fertility and Diomedes, king of Argos about 1,000 years ago during the Trojan war. While healing her hand after getting stabbed through the wrist, Aphrodite began to think about Diomedes. Amongst other things, Aphrodite was a goddess worshiped in Sparta, as a goddess of war... And she was impressed by Diomedes' strength, finding herself...attracted to the King of Argos. One night, Aphrodite went to Diomedes' tent, paying him a small visit. Diomedes was skeptical of the goddess, and was very wary of her. Aphrodite simply said that she was impressed by his strength. Diomedes was still confused but Aphrodite, offered that if he slept with her, then the war would belong to the Greeks. After a while of flirting from Aphrodite, Diomedes agreed, and the two ended up in bed together. The next morning, Aphrodite was gone, but all Diomedes was wondering if her word was true. A few days later, Aphrodite realized she was pregnant, but never told Diomedes. On Olympus, she gave birth to her son, who she named, Damon. She would keep him hidden on Olympus.

### Childhood

During the entirety of the war, Damon was raised on Olympus. His half-siblings, like Eros, didn't really like him all that much, and he was often bullied by him. Damon grew up being dotted on by his mother, and being raised by her his whole life. For around ten years, he grew up hearing on this war between the Trojans and The Greeks, and was on the Greeks side. When Damon was seventeen, his mother made him immortal, not wanting him to age and die. But after a while, Damon began to long for freedom from Olympus, and asked his mother to explore the world. Aphrodite first refused these requests, which made Damon mad. He would be trained by his step-dad Ares, on how to use a spear and a sword. One day, in the early 1800s, Damon finally would leave Olympus

### Getting to Earth

One day, Aphrodite agreed to let Damon visit earth, and he was brought to America, and was told to keep hidden from mortals. Damon agreed and spent most of his life being hidden in the shadows of the world, never making anything for himself. Once in a while, he would kill a monster trying to hurt him, but he was mainly hidden. He discovered his powers pretty quickly, but discovered his own charm speak would be slower than his mother's which upset him a bit. For the most part, Damon would remain hidden from the world, staying in the back ground and not really interacting with many mortals, though sometimes he would see a demigod once in a while, though they were often killed of by monsters, which greatly upset him

### The Start of The Club

It was the late 60s and Damon had come encounter with a hoard of hell hounds. The hell hounds were very large and Damon was having trouble fighting them, soon three other kids, around his age came to the rescue. The three introduced themselves as Eustace, Athanasia, and Phoebus, and soon, the four became fast friends. The four of them began to travel around America with each other, meeting other demigods (Who also happened to be children of characters from the Iliad) and created a group together. They would go around each state, having fun and killing any monster that would try to hurt them. Finally, in the early 2000s, they came across a camp for demigods in Big Bear, California. Once they all crossed the border. Damon was claimed as a son of Aphrodite, while his friends had to stay in the Hermes cabin, since their parents' cabin weren't built yet and neither was Cabin Mythos.

## Personality

Damon’s personality can be easily understood if one understands what any good Aphrodite kid should embody: they must be intelligent, they must be loving, they must be brave, and they must have family values. Damon is far more intelligent than most give him credit for. Firstly, Damon is intelligent in the classical way: he is academically intelligent. He gets good grades with relative ease, is well read, and articulates himself with equal ease and ability. Being clear and concise are second nature to Damon. More important is that secondly, Damon’s intelligence expresses itself in developed analysis skills. His love of theater and film may reveal his creative eye, but in equal turn they reveal his analytical eye. Said analytical eye often clashes with Damon’s third intelligence strength: his emotional intelligence. He infamously finds it hard to sit still in a cinema without critiquing the film as he goes, overruling his usually keen intuition for atmosphere and mood (and the social rules of a cinema). Damon isn’t a critical person in most regards, but in all regards he is a thoughtful one. It is true that Damon knows very little about his mortal side (being raised by his mother), but Damon tries to piece together what he can from what he has despite being far, far away from having all the pieces he needs. His curiosity and sharp mind are not to be dismissed because he doesn’t know that which he has been kept from understanding. Damon is, simply, a loving person. He is a simple person, though less simple as in stupid and more so simple as in straightforwardly kind and earnest. He is incredibly easy to get along with; that straightforward kind and earnest nature leads him to be open without question, though he isn’t one to overshare, which pairs well with his charisma and mild mannered personality. Damon has a smile that lights up a room and has many, many friends who will attest he gives very good hugs. He is an incredibly friendly, loyal person, though doesn’t make a show of that and has never thought twice about being there for people -- it is simply the good thing to do, and one should simply do the good thing. Trust is never something Damon demands you earn and he prefers to see trust as something to be revoked. This leads to situations where Damon is more trusting than he ought to be. He isn’t stupid for not knowing everything about his lineage, but he is naive for trusting that it will be fine. Like his father, Damon is both loyal and cunning, using his charmspeak to his advantage in many situations. He's a skilled warrior, and knows when to back down from a fight he knows he couldn't win. Damon has nerves of steel, which isn’t to say he doesn’t feel fear, but rather that he is both prone and accustomed to pushing past it. Most people know Damon’s brave face well, but would struggle to think of it when they have seen Damon distressed, upset, or angry. Damon isn’t a toxic person, he feels free and wouldn’t stop himself feeling, but he does prefer to feel negative emotions in private. Such bravery is precisely why Damon cannot be described as “stupid”: to know nothing about your story and to still face it head on with a smile is brave; to know that the world has bad but to trust that most people will try their best to be good is brave; to be keen to learn what you are explicitly kept from knowing is brave. Damon has grown up seeing his mom mourn the loss of his dad. Damon’s dad died while Damon was very young and Damon’s mom often left him with the love nymphs while she was busy and he is sad to admit that he doesn’t (or rather, didn’t) know his two parental figures well at all. He finds it hard to admit that what might have had more of an impact on a very young him was how his mom reacted to the loss of his father, not the loss of his father itself. At a young age, he wanted to visit his father's kingdom, being brave and trusting all will be okay is for his mom. His love of family and honest-to-goodness family values are essential to understanding why Damon is the way he is. Despite an unconventional upbringing, Damon has never felt anything but safe, welcome, and loved in his home, and it is this feeling, a feeling that Damon believes ought to know, that informs Damon's moral compass. It should come as no surprise then that Damon has a habit of ‘adopting’ younger campers, who often begin to see him like a big brother figure. This isn’t so much a choice Damon makes but rather the result of him just being him. Damon is unquestioning, as said, for better or for worse. Ultimately, Damon knows he is intelligent, loving, brave, and family oriented. Perhaps the most notable thing about Damon is not that he has these traits, but rather his confidence in embodying them unapologetically.
