## History

### Early Life

Nubia and Darius Adel were born to Apophis, god of chaos and destruction and Dendera Adel in Los Angeles, California on July 17, 2004. Dendera was the child of Anat and Yahya Adel two demigods whom made it big in the world. Thanks to that, she became a young heiress that was so beautiful, she made so many hearts flew but if it wasn’t for her wild side, she might find a man that’s right for her. Nonetheless, luck was on her side when she met Apophis. It isn’t wrong to say they had a chemistry. This relationship had its flings but it only lasted for a whole month before both of them called it quits in hope to not see each other again. Pitifully fate was cruel as after a few months Dendera found out she was pregnant. She wanted to have an abortion as she didn’t want to give up her wild life but she wasn’t willing to be a killer, in the end she decided to keep the twins after she saw them for the first time as she claims they looked royalty. She gave them names fit for royalty; Nubia Aya and Darius Cairo. Which in turn cause Dendera to realize about life so she started her new life by becoming a good mom for the twins. This shocked her parent when they returned, especially when they found out about the twins as before this they didn’t mind Dendera being a bit wild .That was what heiress does but having children out of wedlock was a bit far. So they threatens to send the twins to an orphanage in order to save their reputation but they saw how much their daughter loved the twins and thought it might be good for he. Therefore, they let the twins stayed.

### Childhood

This marked the beginning of the twins life in extravagance being given anything they wanted. Thankfully Dendera gave them a good idea of a few virtue that they need in their life, as she did not want them to be like her. This made them especially close, so when they were 3 she brought them to live with her while she was studying. Nubia herself remembers her early childhood being a good one, being rather close with her mom, but even closer with her twin brother, her other half. From the moment they entered this world, Nubia and Darius were inseparable, always entangled in each other's live, sharing every mile stone, every scrapped knee, and refusing to separate into different rooms as they grew but then, on their seventh birthday... everything went wrong

### Two Gifts

The twins were celebrating their seventh birthday in their home when a strange man came into their house. They were unaware that this man was their father, Apophis, and he went straight to the kitchen to talk with their mom. While the twins were rather confused, they continued to play with the toys they got from family members. In the kitchen, Dendera and Apophis argued with each other, with Dendera being angry and Apophis for being there and Apophis trying to justify himself, wanting to see his children. After a while, Apophis came out of the kitchen and sat down with the twins, giving them their birthday gifts. He gave Nubia a very pretty flower bracelet and Darius a book. The twins looked at the man confused, but the simply told them to use their gifts wisely and that they'll come in hand when they're older. The man soon left shortly after, and their mother came down and took the same gifts away, telling them she needed to see if they were safe. That same night, Darius snuck into their mother's room while Nubia and Dendera were asleep and got his book but his would have... devastating effects. When he touched his book, he felt a surge of a dark energy rush through his body... things would never be the same

### The Curse of Chaos

The next day, when Nubia woke up, there was a... change in her brother. Darius seemed strangely distant, he would glare at his sister when ever she wanted to play, was generally just not acting like the brother she's known all her life. This hurt Nubia, emotionally, not understanding why her brother was acting this way. Dendera was also confused, but she couldn't understand why her son was acting this way. Things really came to head when a week after noticing these changes, Darius had attacked his twin sister during the night with a pair of scissors when the twins were around eleven years old Nubia ran to her mom and Dendera was able to take the scissors away from her son. Luckily, Nubia wasn't seriously injured, getting a minor scratch during the confusion. After that night, Dendera brought this up with the twins' doctor. The doctors did psychopathic and sociopathic tests on Darius but they always somehow came back negative. Eventually, Darius and Nubia stopped sharing a room, due to the many times Darius had tried to hurt or kill his sister, which made Nubia very sad. At one point in time, Darius was sent to a mental hospital after one of his attempts to attack Nubia, but he was released two weeks later.

### Coming to Camp

Three years had passed and the twins were around fourteen years old when they finally came to camp. They hadn't experienced any monster attacks (if anything Darius was the constant monster attack in Nubia's life) but Dendera decided to send them both to Camp, the one Apophis told her about when the twins were born. Dendera entrusted Nubia with the gifts their father gave them, around seven years ago, the chaos tome and the bracelet, which became a silver dagger. Dendera then drove the twins to Big Bear, with Dendera keeping an eye on her son and explaining everything to her daughter. After a long drive, the twins were dropped off at Camp Olympia. Once at Camp, the twins were claimed by Apophis.

## Personality

Very little is known about Darius, aside from 1. He's insane 2. He wants his sister dead and 3. He practices chaos magic and is never seen without a chaos tome. Rumors circulate the camp that he's possessed by a piece of his father's magic, but nobody would believe something like that... Anyways, when you first see Darius, you can easily peg him as a loner, an introvert, someone who prefers to watch on the sidelines, but in actuality, he's a little… how do I put this, insane. He has an aura of vitriol, which he doesn't really think is a bad thing. He really can be menacing and often get violent towards others. He rarely ever smiles, and when he smiles, it’s usually sadistic. He knows about this behavior and doesn't care the slightest bit. Never sarcastic, only blunt, people who have encountered Darius often say that he is too ready with his insults. Darius, due to the influence of his curse, is sadistic, he's violent, and he's, according to many other Egyptian demigods, fucking ***terrifying***. Most people go out of his way to avoid him, everyone but his own twin sister, who he's tried to kill on numerous occasions since he was seven. Darius, underneath his curse, loves his sister with all of his heart, and Nubia has even gone out of her way to try and find a cure to his curse. Since his father has cured him of his curse, Darius has… chilled out, to say the least. He has become much nice, stopped threatening to kill people, he's kinder to his sister, but he's still distrusted by a lot of campers who are still unsure of him. Since being free of his curse, Darius can be described in a few words: sly, mischievous, devious, flirty, and cocky. He is impulsive and disregards second thoughts for his actions. Darius is selfish and puts himself before others because he believes he is superior. Anyone that crosses paths with him would describe him to be conceited and arrogant, as he tends to show off all too much. Even if his personality is difficult to acquaint with, his charm makes up for it. Around people, he is seductive and flirtatious - such as saying things they want to hear in order to pickpocket them or to obtain something of theirs, such as their homework. He likes to brag that he can make any person blush within ten seconds of meeting them, and so far, in his eyes, he has not failed yet. Despite his playboy tendencies, he does not prefer to have a relationship at this time. He would rather follow his father’s footsteps closely and sweet-talk multiple people instead of being tied down. Nubia, however, challenges this greatly, though Darius denies it. He is also very handsy and can’t keep his hands to himself, as he invades others’ personal space without regard. When it comes to friends or acquaintances, he is loyal in a subtle way. He believes in the phrase “I scratch your back, you scratch mine”, to an extent. Sometimes he fulfills his end of the bargain, other times, he does not. Promises are something that he does not keep so well either. He is known as the master of deception and can smooth talk through any situation; manipulating people for his own benefit. His eye is always on anything shiny and anything he wants, he gets. This is why he is so spontaneous as he lunges himself on whatever captures his attention without thinking first. He doesn’t believe he has the need to even second-guess himself, as, in his mind, he is always right. Even when his choices cause situations to go sour, he would blame outside forces instead of admitting his faults. His stubborn mind hinders him from seeing the truth as it really is. When he hears someone’s real negative thoughts about him, he would push it back to his subconscious, pretending that he didn’t even hear it. He still believes that he is the best, no matter what other people think of him. Though he does get insulted when it’s directly said to his face, like before, he would rather ignore it. Being the lazy kid he is, he prefers to remain lazy, but when he is dedicated to one thing, he is willing to give it his all. This is especially the case when there is a barricade towards his destiny and graduation. Studies are never on his agenda, therefore, he would only achieve the minimal passing grade. Darius disregards peers’ stories or destinies and only puts emphasis on reading and re-reading his own story in case he missed any details about being Apophis. It is the only thing he is anal about and would fight anyone that tries to sabotage his father’s legacy. As many would put it: Darius is a spitting image of Apophis, and is the epitome of the phrase: Like father, like son.

### Fatal Flaw

Darius' fatal flaw is his curse. Due to the Chaos Curse, Darius was violet, he lashed out and was violent towards people. His curse caused him to become deranged.

## Appearance

Darius looks similar to his sister. Under his curse, his curly brown hair was messy and his hazel eyes had bags under them and an insane look in them. Whenever this curse affected him, his eyes would become get black. After being cured from his curse, Darius's hair becomes more natural and curly, his eyes become more relaxed and less insane. He is often seen wearing a dark green and white sweater, a black shirt, baggy black jeans and brown boots (or a dark green sweater and a white shirt)
