NICO DI ANGELO
Name:: Nico di Angelo
Nickname:: Nico, Ghost King
Age::14
Gender:: Male
Species:: Demi-God
Olympian Parent:: Hades
Years at Camp:: 5
Claimed:: Yes
Celebrity Claim: Munro Chambers
Looks::
Nico has a look that seems to radiate death and fear. Usually seen in black jeans and a black aviators jacket, this 5'7", 130 pound, 14 year old boy, is not that tall but kind of average height. His skin seems pale, which can be because of how much time he spends in the Underworld. His eyes are blue-black and wild looking at some times. His black hair isn't that long, but goes to about the end of his ears. The Stygian Iron sword can always be seen at his hip, along with his Stygian Iron skull ring which is on his finger.
Personality::
Nico, when he was younger, was all joy. Playing his mythomagic games was his greatest joy. Once his sister died, he became more withdrawn from people. At one point he was known to say that his only friends are the dead and only because they fear him. Two years ago he found this to not be true, but we will get to that in his history. Two years ago, he slowly started to become more friendly towards people. Especially Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson.
Now, he will talk to other only if they talk to him first. Of course people that he already knows he will talk to without a second thought. If you get on his bad side, you might want to watch out. He can hold terrible grudges. This can be assumed for the reason that that is his fatal flaw. He can get along with others if they can get along with him without bad mouthing his friends, dad, and deceased sister. If someone brings up Bianca, he tends to shut up in his own little world and withdraw from those around him. This only lasts a couple hours, but it has been known to last a day before.
Family:: Hades-Father-Alive
Bianca di Angelo-Sister-Deceased
Maria di Angelo-Mother-Deceased
History::
At 10 years old Nico was found by Grover with his sister in a military school called Westover Hall in Bar Harbor, Maine. Grover believed them to be two powerful unknown half-bloods. Nico seemed to be very interested in Mythomagic, a trading card game about Greek mythology. When his sister Bianca accepted Artemis's proposal to become a Hunter of Artemis, Nico got angry at her for "abandoning" him. Percy found Nico eavesdropping on Bianca and Zöe Nightshade, and Nico then successfully convinced Percy to promise to keep his sister safe. While Percy doesn't see him for awhile, later Nico went to find Percy. Percy then explained to him that Bianca died to save the others on the quest. Nico created a large crack in the ground to swallow up the skeletons that were chasing Percy. He immediately turned on Percy, telling him he hated him, and reminded him of the oath he took to keep Bianca safe. Nico was last seen running into the woods at night, after screaming at Percy. Later on, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover figure out that Nico was the son of Hades, meaning that the prophecy could be about him, but Percy promised that he will not let that happen.
Nico was still angry at Percy [because of Bianca's death] when they meet again the next year. Nico was eleven years old by then. He was first seen talking with Minos who was trying to tell Nico how to resurrect his sister's dead body when Percy was sent a collect Iris Message sent by Bianca di Angelo, Nico's sister. Nico learned over that year, that he could summon the dead. Nico was then seen again when Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson visit Triple G Ranch, where Percy then saved Nico from being sent to the Titans. Nico, still angry at Percy, finally understood that it was Bianca's choice to die, and that he shouldn't be mad at Percy. The others leave Nico at a ranch, where he supposedly meets King Minos (in ghost form) again, who convinced him to go back into the Labyrinth by claiming that Percy was in danger. At this point, he had seemed to forgive Percy enough that he would risk his life to save him.
He was next seen being dragged into Daedalus's workshop by three Greek monsters, in chains, after being tricked by King Minos. He escaped with Percy, Annabeth, and Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who had to go back into the Labyrinth to find Grover and Tyson. They had stayed behind to look for Pan, god of the Wild. Along the way, they saw Kronos in the form of Luke, and Nico, who was in a desperate attempt to save everyone, showed his true powers, and made it known to Kronos that he is a son of Hades. They meet Pan, who gave everyone except for Nico a cryptic future reading and then vanished. After they got out of the Labyrinth, a full-fledged battle erupted between the Titans and Camp Half-Blood, in which Nico summoned a dozen undead soldiers. He was revived with nectar and ambrosia, and he stated that summoning that many soldiers requires a lot of energy. After the campfire, he was seen talking with the ghost of his sister Bianca. He then told Percy, who had came out to see what was going on, that he did not belong at camp, but instead in the Underworld, and would train there instead. He also went to search for his mother, and an unknown lawyer who paid for him and Bianca to stay at the school where Grover found him and his sister last year. He was last seen on Percy's apartment fire escape where he gave Percy news on Daedalus and a way to beat Luke for good. Before mentioning it, Nico was distracted by Percy's blue birthday cake, and Percy invited him in to talk. Being very hungry, Nico took Percy up on that offer.
Nico was twelve years old when he came up with a theory that he thought could give everyone a step-up above the Titans. His theory to gain an edge over the Titans was to make Percy invincible by having him bathe in the River Styx, similar to the myth of Achilles. It was shown that after Bianca died, Hades felt that he had no competent child, repeatedly mentioning that Bianca could do a better job at fulfilling their father's demands. It was also revealed that the lawyer who removed the children from the Lotus Casino was Hades' lead fury, Alecto, in disguise. Nico discovered the truth about his mother, and that she actually died in a house fire when Nico and his sister were young, that was supposedly caused by Zues who had really wanted to kill Hades' children. He later convinced his father to help fight against Kronos and his army, who had nearly conquered Olympus.
Successfully helping in the battle, he went to Camp Half Blood and helped build the rest of the cabins for the promise the gods made to Percy. When it came to his cabin, he enlisted in the help of a couple dead soldiers in order to fully create the cabin. Even though people accepted him for what he did in the war, he chose not to stay at camp. Instead, he wanted to go train some more in the Underworld.
Doing this he was able to master his techniques. With learning all that he thought he could in the Underworld, or all that he thought he could for the time being, he wanted to get a feel of what camp was like. He had only came to camp every once in awhile during the two years that followed the huge fight between Titans and Olympians.
Happy with what he had learned for the two years, and with how much stronger he had become, he went to Camp Half Blood to revisit with old friends and to perhaps help others whom are still coming to the camp.
Name/Nickname:: Summer
Roleplaying Experience:: A lot
Sample RP::
Nico walked out of the forest shadows. He had just come from the Underworld. The summer training that his dad had put him through was tough, but he put up with it. At least now he wasn't as tired when he did use his powers. His Stygian iron sword hung in its holster on his hip. The stygian iron skull ring glinted in the sun when he first walked out. Of course the 14 year old boy still wore the black aviator jacket with black jeans. He never did grow out of that. But now, instead of a constant frown on his face he seemed to have the slightest hint of a smile.
As he looked around Camp Half Blood he saw that nothing really changed. Sure there seemed to be some new people, but nothing else. Cabins still looked the same. People were still recognizable. Everything looked good for the kid that hadn't been here for a couple years. He walked throughout the camp to where Hades' Cabin was. His hand touched the obsidian as he remembered building it about two years ago. It still had no windows and the skull still hung.
After visiting that cabin for awhile, he walked to the Big House. As he got to the front steps, he turned and looked out again. It was good to be back. Even if he was a couple weeks late. He turned back towards the door and walked inside. "Hope it's not to late Chiron." He said to the centaur with a smirk taking over his face. He watched as Chiron turned around with a sort of shocked expression on his face. "Nico. Is it really you? It's been years." Nico gave a half smile and nodded. "The one and only."
