## Background

Diana Elio, the eventual mother to Orion, was an exceptionally talented archer, working her way to being able to compete at the Olympic level. But sadly, she met the god Apollo when she was on beach vacation in Florida, and, at the age of 20, was left to raise a very energetic little blonde baby boy. Diana moved to her parents home in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to get their help raising Orion, despite their disapproval of her having gotten pregnant without being married. Growing up, Orion's mother often helped him learn Archery, or helped him with school work, his dyslexia proving a hard thing for him to work with.

When Orion was 13, he was your average middle school jock, hanging out with the big boys, acting like he ran the school. Until his mom got sick. The mental toll this took on him was huge, and it greatly affected his school life. He started to get angered by how his "friends" treated other classmates, and it all went down the chute when he heard them talking about his "sickly" mother in a mocking way. It all came to blows, Orion ending up pretty badly hurt from the confrontation. A few months later, Diana Elio passed away in a hospital bed, surrounded by her family. But that wasn't the end of it. After the funeral, a good week later, he was told by his grandparents that there was a camp for people like him, but that they didn't want to see him again. They say he reminded them too much of his mother, but he knew they were still sore about him being born out of wedlock.

At the age of 13, Orion arrived at Camp Half-Blood, and, after an introductory video and explanation from Chiron, he was sent to find his tour guide. Now, his tour guide would turn out to be one of the least sane individuals to ever visit camp. Naomi Smith. Upon supposedly startling her, she acted in what she thought was defense against a monster, slicing a cut on his eyebrow, down to his cheek--then proceeded to cover it with a Sponge-Bob bandaid--it's arguable that's what made him fall in love with her. The very next day, the best bro to ever bro came into his life. Alexa Lau quickly became the best friend this guy could ever have. He grew at camp, into a very respectable young man, and by 16, he was Cabin Leader of Apollo, after the unfortunate death of his predecessor, and a cabin wide vote.

## Appearance

Orion's 5'10" on the dot, with a slim but muscular build. He's very tan, and his hair's a sandy blonde--anyone who sees him would assume he's a California surfer boy. He's got light brown, almost golden eyes. He has a scar running from his left eyebrow, down to his cheek. He's often seen in a sleeveless Camp Half-Blood shirt, blue jeans, and Nike running shoes.

Post Tartarus, his appearance has changed. His hair is now shoulder length, usually stored in a bun, and his eyes, once golden, are now dark brown. He’s covered in scars all over his body from the constant fighting of Tartarus.
