History::
In 1994, Zoe met Dionysus, which she considered one of the best things that had happened to her life. She met him in her birthday party. She did not remember inviting him, but he was having fun playing Pacman, but that was until Pacman was eaten. He got really mad, shouting to the machine, and almost hitting it. Zoe was able to stop him, and they had an argument. But after a few hours, Zoe apologized to Dionysus, which he accepted. Then, they became friends, and after a few days, they started dating. They had fun when they were with each other, but that fun ended when she became pregnant. After knowing about this, Dionysus left, telling her he had a job somewhere far.
After that, she became sad. She once loved having parties, but did not like them anymore. But when Carter was born, the light inside her was lit again. Just by seeing Carter, Zoe felt really glad. Carter loved to smile, and she can't help but smile back, even when she is in a bad mood. He loved to dance, but he would usually trip, because he was just a little baby that time. Many people thought he was cute, though when he's mad, he throws tantrums.
After a year, Zoe met another man named Hector. He was an actor, and he saw Zoe when he was having a tour around Zoe's city. He thought that Zoe was beautiful, and decided to court her. After many months, they were married, and Zoe was proud Carter would have a father. Hector was kind to Carter, and would treat him like he was his own son. Carter always thought he was his father, since he was never told of his true father.
When Carter was being thought how to read, he had some issues. He would usually look at the sentence closely, and would need five seconds to fully understand it. He would usually say that the words were jumbled around, and his mother felt sad about it. Carter was tested, and was diagnosed with dyslexia. His mother tried her best to let him read, but he just wasn't able to read it. But he learned how to read after a year, though he still had problems.
Then, when Carter was in school, he had lots of reports of joking around and teachers saying he can't stay put. His mother thought that this was just regular behavior, but that was until it got worse. His teachers told her to test him, and Zoe was really sad to test her son again. After the test, he was diagnosed with ADHD. There was nothing Zoe can do about it, and she just accepted that fact.
Carter grew up being the troublemaker. At school, at home, anywhere. He sometimes starts parties while classes are going on, and whenever his parents went home, they would find it messy with glasses shattered and tables broken. He always thought that wherever he went, there was a party going on. And whenever his mom told him to stop joking around, he would get mad and start becoming a brat. His mother got pissed off from his behavior, but that was until he grew up.
When Carter became ten, his personality changed. He became a more matured person, but he still had those ADHD issues. But if you ask the people around him, he started calming down. He stayed in one school, not being kicked out. He had lots of friends in that school, because he loved joking around. He loved lighting people up, even his enemies, and because of that, he has a few of them.
Carter was twelve when they moved to New York. This was because his mother was entered in a job there, and his step-father decided to move them there. Carter was taken to a dorm school, because his parents were too busy working to take care of him. He met someone named Samuel, who was a limp and always wears pants. He never saw Samuel wearing shorts, and Samuel would just say that he just likes pants.
After a year of studying in that school, Carter had a substitute teacher who was suspicious. She always brings two pencils with her, and sometimes when she walks, her legs slither. When Carter tried to tell this to Samuel, Samuel would just look away. Those were one of Samuel's personalities Carter hates the most. Carter tried forcing Carter to say something, and Carter just told him he reminds him of someone he knows.
After a few days of school, Carter was attacked by his substitute teacher. He was taking a walk on their school's yard, but then he heard someone shout, and as he looked back, he saw his substitute teacher, who became a Scythian Dracanae. The dracanae almost hit Carter, if Carter just didn't dodge. Carter ran around the yard, until he saw his friend, Samuel, telling him to follow him. They ran from the dracanae, but the dracanae keeps keeping up. Then, Samuel and Carter hid in a classroom, and Samuel told Carter that he was a demigod. He handed him over a sword, and told Carter to fight the dracanae. Carter grabbed the sword, and fought the dracanae. After many strikes, he was able to impale the dracanae on the chest, and the dracanae disintegrated. Carter fainted, waking up at their school clinic, and Samuel told him that they had to go.
As he reached his mother's house, his mother told him everything. His father, the things he sees, and many more. Samuel told Zoe to take Carter to camp before he gets attacked by another monster. Zoe reluctantly allowed Samuel, and she drove them to camp. They got there safely, without any run-ins with monsters.
Just as Carter got into camp, he was oriented. But as the director of camp, Mr. D, saw him, Mr. D told him that he was his father. Carter easily believed him, because his mother said that his father was someone named Dionysus, and Mr. D said he was Dionysus, so he was Carter's father. After the orientation, he and Mr. D had a small talk, with Mr. D telling him everything that had happened when he was still together with Carter's mother.
Carter has been in camp for two years, and he could say that he is having a great time. He had friends, and he also had enemies. He knew that it was not just him who had problems. Demigods have ADHD and dyslexia, just like him, which made him feel happy because he would be around people who know the situation he is facing.

Sample RP::
Carter never thought that camp would really be a good place. He may not be living with his parents and his brother, but he had his own family here. Well, demigods were all related somehow. His father was also in camp, though he always threatens campers. Someone told Carter that Mr. D became Camp Director after chasing an off limits nymph twice. Now, that was like Carter when he’s mad. He never thought that his father was a god, because he grew up believing his father was Hector.
He may be a son of Dionysus, but Mr. D still treats him like a regular camper, but he usually lessens the intensity of punishments when it comes to Carter. Carter walked around camp while he was wearing his earphones. He listened to different kinds of songs. He was good at them, but not sure if he is good in singing. He has a hard time memorizing lyrics, thanks to his dyslexia. But here in camp, that was usual. Some demigods had a higher level of dyslexia. Someone also told Carter that his ADHD is due to his battle reflexes, and his dyslexia is because he was hardwired for Ancient Greek.
Carter walked around camp, watching campers play with each other. Some played basketball. Some volleyball. And some, weapon s training. Now, that is dangerous, isn’t it? Carter took another breath and walked forward, crossing people who were trying to steal each other’s weapons. Carter was good in swords fighting and melee fights, but he doesn’t know if he was good in long ranged combat. Then, Carter watched children being bullied around. “That’s a nice way these campers treat these new demigods.” Carter said, remembering the time his head was almost dunked, if it wasn’t for a grapevine creeping into the Ares camper’s pants.
Carter grabbed his sword, and slashed the air with it. It was in good shape. It was pretty powerful, but it is more fast than powerful. Then, Carter sheathed his sword once again. Carter walked more, listening to louder music as noise grew higher. He can already hear campers shouting and swords clashing. And the forges. There was heat all around it, and hammers hitting swords. Most of them seem to be Hephaestus kids, since their father is the god of forges. Carter was usually tending the strawberry fields, but he thought he should stop by his cabin.
One thing you could describe in the Dionysus cabin is that it had many grapevines. There were many beds all around, and Carter chose the one that was in the corner. Carter dropped his things on his bed and ran to the strawberry fields.
