Alexander Dion Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Alexander Dion biography Like so many demi-gods much of the woes of his life can be attributed to events before his life. His mother Aphrodite had met a young man one night at a bar who had been so stricken by her beauty that he had professed his love for her right on sight. Flattered by his attention they had spent a passionate week together and then she left, as the gods are likely to do and his father had been heartbroken to the point of madness. 9 months later he was contacted about the birth of his son but wanted no reminder of the beauty and love that had been taken from him. He drank himself to death shortly thereafter and Alex was put into the system. From the time that he was born to his arrival at Camp Half-Blood, Alexander "Alex" was a child within the foster care system looked after by a saytr Magnis (Mags) who posed as his social worker. While he had been in the foster care system, Magnis had been the one constant in his life life that Alex could count on. For the first few years of his life Alex stayed with a family who adored him but were not able to legally adopt him. Alex was a charming, playful and very imaginative child who made friends easily. For the most part the first eight years of Alex's life were stable. Around his eighth birthday, however, things started to take a turn as he began to gain the attention on monsters nearby. Mags, fearing for his safety, made the arrangements for him to be placed somewhere new to the dismay of both Alex and his foster family. Several times over the next few years Alex would try to run away to get back to his first foster family remembering that love that he had experienced and wishing to go back to the place where had felt seen and wanted. The next few years for Alex were rough. Alex found himself being shifted from home to home every few months without much cause. This would be harder when he could feel the love certain families had for him. He wanted a home, a place where felt loved and could love but every chance he got it seemed that it was torn away. The constant change affected Alex who despite his natural charm and sociable nature started to become distant and introverted. After all, as soon as he became attached to a family or friends he would be moved. He was also told that he could not communicate with anyone via phone or email which made it hard to have any long lasting connections. He also struggled with self esteem not understanding why he kept having to find new placement feeling like he might be the problem but not knowing how to fix it. Then one fateful night, as if his life couldn't get any worse, several harpies descended on the house where he had most recently been placed and in their pursuit killed both of his foster parents whom he was beginning to grow attached to. As they were dying he could feel how in their final moments they they felt only love as they called out to him to run. Later as they drove to Camp Half-Blood he would learn the truth from Mags; as Alex was aging he had attracted monsters and that while Mags had tried to deal with them, as it was his first assignment he struggled to keep up. After saving him Mags brought to Camp Half- Blood he was both angry and lost. Upon arrival he was claimed by Aphrodite but this only made his life more confusing. After all, if his mother was a goddess why couldn't she have done more to protect him from the trauma of the last several years, of that night that haunted his nightmares. Aphrodite had claimed him as her son but it did not mean he had really found his family or place. The first year at camp was particularly difficult. While he had been assured that camp half-blood was his permanent home for the next several years he had a hard time trusting others resulting in him being both charming and overly sweet and yet reclusive as a defense not truly trusting that he wouldn't be asked to leave but that somehow he could use his abilities to control the situation. Alex tried to run away from camp once, very unsuccessfully. Now that it has been a couple years Alex is 15 and beginning to settle and let people in. Personality Fellow campers would describe Alex as the sweet guy who is a bit of a loner. When he is around others he is charming, imaginative, and has a natural gift for creating meaningful and engaging conversation yet will often choose his own company if given the option despite people often inviting him. As a child oh Aphrodite he has the ability to see and understand connections with others which he mostly uses to navigate conversations however, when he feels scared or hurt he sometimes abuses this power to get what he wants.
