* - - Sally. Valo. Bolas. - - *
Name ;; Sally Valo Tapia Bolas
Nickname(s) ;; Bolas, Valo
Age ;; 21
Birthday ;; Sept 11
Gender ;; Male
Species ;; Demi-God
Immortal Parent ;; Discordia
Years at Camp ;; 10
Celebrity Claim ;; Avan Jogia
Appearance ;;Dark chocolate brown hair falls to his shoulders in smooth, well taken care of, waves. Though he's not a son of Venus he takes good care of his physical appearance. Not very many people take someone seriously if you look like a vagabond. His eyes are an olive, kind of earthy brown color. In the right light you can see a ting of dark green in them. That hint of green, the envy his mother could educe in people. He can normally be found with a sinister smile across his lips, very few times will you find a genuine happy smile showing off those nearly straight, ivory teeth.
Thanks to the legions training, along with his own special work outs, Sally has a well toned body. The California sun has done well on his skin, leaving a sweet auburn tan from head to toe. All natural tanning has left it's fair share of light skin on him as well. His feet for one are considerably paler from the ankle down.
Personality ;;Often he tries to hold back his normal enthusiastic and imaginative self in fear that he may get carried away by it and chase after unrealistic goals. Can easily be a complete bully and jerk to everyone but his closest friends, which is quite possibly the hardest thing to get to. Feels betrayed and used and is staying emotionally distant to keep others from hurting him more. His is distrusting and suspicious of the actions and intentions of other people. He doesn't open up, he doesn't trust, and instead will insult and make fun of people. He believes the most beautiful flowers bloom in adversity, and will happily be the cause of it. It'll either make or break you.
His self-centeredness can cause him to take things too personally. Sometimes he tries to participate and involve himself in things going on around him; however, he avoids direct confrontation like the plague. He can fight well, really well, but he still would prefer to not get in the fight. Hides his insecurities by making fun of them first. Can be a bully at times, and enjoys causing chaos and panic in people, but also likes to see it resolved and people grow stronger from it. Normally when other people make fun of themselves first he might leave the topic alone, because of his own preference for other people to do the same for him.
Though he's incredibly smart he doesn't act like it, and only uses his knowledge for evil or picking up girls. Which some will say is evil, since he purposefully breaks their hearts.
Currently Sally has no people he'd call friends, and he likes to keep it that way. He gets too trusting. To caring. Nothing at all like himself when he's with the people he really likes. Sometimes he will start to like people, and he'll play with them more. Picking on them, not stopping at all when they are hurt or in pain. He pushes hard so he won't ever have friends again.
As his mother is a goddess of war, fighting along side the mighty Mars himself, Sally is no stranger to physical fighting. He delights in it in fact, in the way his mother does. As said earlier he avoids fighting as much as he can, but well enjoys it when people force it upon him. Perhaps a bit too much at times. The tiny bit of crazy he can have at times is what leads him to avoid fighting. He much prefers to be in control of his own mind, and the same way that friendship causes unpleasant changes in what he considers his nature, fighting causes an unpleasant change for love of blood shed.
Powers ;;Control of Envy : : With near perfect control over envy, Sally can make you want anything. It can be a little thing at first, or the internal strife might drive you insane with want. For the most part it depends how the person handles themselves. He often uses it to trade people, make them want an acorn and trade them gold for it. Some people are oddly resistant to this ability, and he's not sure why.
Prowess in Battle : : Though he does not have the strength of the relatives of Mars, or even the excellent strategic abilities they have, he has an undeniable presence on the battle field. He can cause chaos in the minds of those he fights against, and who attempt a strike against him. As he goes into a mad frenzy, he may at times cause his opponents to do the same. Laughing maniacally as the blood floods his eyes, and his mind. He is tougher at this time, stronger as the chaos of his mind stops restraining his muscles. When he is done with his battle rage, he is incredibly tired and in a great amount of pain. At times his muscles and tendons will be torn from the battle.

History ;;There was a demigod who lived in New Rome, he was a son of one of Jupiter's Enforcers. Zeal to be precise, and like his father he was dedicated to New Rome and the people in it. As he trained and fought in the legion he grew into a strong handsome man. He stayed in the legion 20 long years before leaving to the outside world, where he joined the military. The one that happened to have the largest number of available females in his age range. He found a woman, strong and fierce. Falling head over heals in love with her, and her dominating personality.
On the battle field he was so strong and fierce he drew the envy of every mortal near and even the attentions of a goddess. Discordia was taken with the strong handsome man, though he was 45 when they had first met, and was 46 by the time she brought his first son to him. He already had a son, and he knew his wife would be far less than pleased to have a boy that was not hers in thier house. He drew on his Roman training and told his wife they would be keeping his son, which she put up little resistance to. She called him son and gave him some affections, though her own son took priority without her direct knowledge.
When Sally was four he had the rude surprise of having a little sister, when he wanted a little brother. Meredeth told the boys about being big brothers, and how they had to protect their little sister. She did not dote on the girl, but she spent a long time teaching the girl. By now Sally's father was a stay at home dad, something he'd never imagine for himself. Though he loved the time with the kids. Sally grew to like the new sister he didn't want. He was an easy enough to please child, and just by other people being happy he could be content. In his arms only would she giggle and smile all the time. Little Mel was able to say her alphabet nearly a year before most, and even learned a few words in other languages. Sally was most excited when she would call him big brother in any of five different languages, but refused to call Michael anything other than "Mikey"
Sally was seven years of age when he had an unexpected birthday present. Mel would go to work with his mom and Sally would get to have a nice loud birthday party without his little sister under foot. So Sally helped set her up with her favorite toy, gave her a kiss bye and waved as she left with their mother. It was his birthday, his dad would get him a cake. Mel would sing him happy birthday as best a three year old could without getting distracted by the cake. It wasn't grand, but he liked it. Today he could get away with almost anything. Grinning like a clown he went off to school. Messing around, picking on the girls, doing what he normally did. Then they cut classes a little short. They turned on the TV, which was defiantly weird. He saw the twin Towars and grinned. "My mom works there" He said just as something caught his eye. Something moving, and a rumble, then smoke. The grin faded from his face. The smoke. He stood up, the chair falling with a loud clatter. He shoved the desk out of his way and ran. What exactly happened he couldn't remember, the next thing he knew he was in the back of a fire truck, a blanket around his shoulders. Two smoking pillars of steel and glass in front of him.
His brother was eighteen at the time, and hadn't gotten a secure foot hold in the company or even a secure job. He didn't want to try taking care of his kid brother when he could hardly take care of himself. Sally went into the foster care system, for all of two months before a woman finished up the paperwork and took him home. She was a daughter of Apollo, and worked with his step-mother. Thankfully she was one of the few to survive the incident, salvaged from the rubble by one of the wonderful rescue dogs. One of which she adopted when they retired. Aurora had seen Sally. She had also seen the monster that had wanted to attack him in his dazed state. Putting her Roman skills to work she flung a pipe through it's chest before having to be taken to the hospital herself.
Sally lived happily with her, she could have easily been a singer but sang only on the chores. Funny enough she had been converted to Christianity. She loved her father and the other gods, but saw them as powerful beings, maybe angels, but not the God she trusted and believed in. Sally tried not to be sad over the death of his family, at least tried hard not to show it. He'd play harder, goof off more. His grades waved between good and barely passing. Though he never failed.
A few years later Aurora took him on a trip into the woods. She told him about Camp Jupiter. Told him it would be tough, and he had to be tougher. She didn't know who his mom was, but she said she must be wonderful to have a son like him. Even after dropping him off at the Wolf house she would visit New Rome, borrow room for a few day visiting her son and talking to the friends who had stayed. Sally would love, and hate, eating her burnt cooking. He got a bit of a crush on her, though he knew she'd only see him as her child. It faded when he got older, when he started liking girls his own age instead of thinking they had cooties. His playful teasing turned into flirting banter, though he never wanted a real girlfriend. Not yet anyway, and instead ended up with a string of broken hearted girls. He thought it was absolute fun.
Slowly he noticed Aurora's skin growing more pale, less sun soaked than before. The bags under her eyes, and her less frequent visits. He thought maybe it was just age, but it was her heart. She was born with a flaw in her heart, and it was finally starting to catch up to her. He didn't know at first, and was starting to get rougher with his taunting. More angry, more verbally abusive to the people around him. Though he'd give them a kind work now and then to lighten their mood so he could just crush it again. Shakespeare knew what was up, throw a few laughs in before a heart retching revaluation made it all the more powerful.
Aurora had to go to her home in Germany, her family demanded she go to the hopital there. That they could help her. She had to have her heart restarted, and was now on the waiting list to get a new one. She couldn't afford that though, she simply smiled though it all and said God would provide a way. Sally didn't quite believe that. He started taking dirty jobs to get the money. He was an avid attendee of his own cohort trainings before, a great outlet for aggression, but he was starting to skip them now. going out of the Valley to get jobs outside in town too. Sometimes missing for a weekend to com back with a pile of money he sent to his mothers family anonymously. They paid for her to stay, and like the donor said they couldn't say where it came from. He knew she wouldn't like what he was doing, but she wasn't high on the waiting list, and had to repeatedly go to the doctor. Couldn't work. She needed money, and he'd get it any way he could.
