All Critique welcome! I wrote this on and off so I'm expecting some holes within the story. I'm also not perfect on my Roman Myth yet.
Nickname(s) ;;[/color] Alex, Stormy
Age ;; [/color]15
Birthday ;; [/color]12th May
Gender ;; [/color]Male

Immortal Parent ;;[/color] Jupiter
Years at Camp ;;[/color] 5
[/blockquote]
Appearance ;;[/color] Alexander is very much outwardly what many would call the "American-Style Popular Kid". He has the Prince Charming style lengthy mucky blonde hair, a strong jaw-line and a constantly cheeky look on his face.
Face:
Alexander has a face which completely misunderstands what emotion properly is. His face, which seems to be caught in a constant state of cheekiness, manages to show no trace whatsoever of what he feels inside. The Sky-Blue eyes are the most noted feature, as they would be with many demigods, within them is what you would expect from a perfect summers day. A clear bright-blue sky, a constant shine from the sun and a feeling of being relaxed.
Body:
Alexander takes prides within his body, he forces it through many quite vigorous training regimes to keep it up to the best condition it could be, this has led him to develop broad shoulders and a quite Muscular Upper body. His arms are the source of his phyiscal power, imposing exceptionally powerful strikes able to disarm weaker opponents just by hitting them hard enough, even if they block properly.
Hair:
Alexander finds himself at peace with his hair, he manages to slick it back without looking like a Old Man and he also manages to keep it stylish, doing all this without much effort is something he's taken a full four years to develop. It's mucky blonde colour compliments his blue eyes.
Clothing Style:
Alexander happily wears nearly anything as long as it is fitted perfectly to his size, items of clothing that do not fit his size, either too big or small, he refuses to wear, thinking they make him look tacky. Usually in Camp he will be found wearing some kind of armour, simply because of his like for the roman armour style.
Personality ;;[/color] Alexander is known in one specific way to every other camper, and that is his likeness to his Father. Granted, nearly no camper within Camp Jupiter will of ever met Jupiter himself, but they all know of his Powerful presence. Alexander shares this presence, nobody is sure of what it is, but being around him is something that is intoxicating.
This does not change when he begins to talk either, his voice comes across as naturally louder, or perhaps people sub-conciously quieten down when he begins to talk. His brash outlook on life is something destined to get him in trouble and has been doing for a while, he finds himself also inheriting his fathers love for Discipline, things have to be perfectly disciplined, columns and rows must be symmetrical and people must stand perfectly in line and to attention or they learn quickly about the Temperment that Jupiter passes on to his children.
Despite his powerful presence, Alexander is nothing more than a simple camper and his relaxed side shows this, within friends he is the most-relaxed, often described as "Lazy-yet-determined", he also doesn't seem to understand the social "lines", or if he does he doesn't adhere to them, he makes the darkest of jokes with complete disregard for anyone elses feelings, something that one Camper likened to Alexanders Father, who has affairs with women with no regard for Juno.
Alexander does have one flaw however, after years of people basking in his presence and sometimes even listening to his stupidest ideas he has gotten an incredibly arrogant side to him, sometimes he expresses it through his jokes, but the jokes are crafted in such a way that it would take an oratary master to tell if he was joking or being serious.
Family ;;[/color] Jupiter (Father), Amber Summerstorm (Mother), Cassandra Underwood (Half-Sister)
History ;;[/color] The Bulk of Alexanders story is set in Camp Jupiter, his upbringing was normal to the point of boredom, even with his fancy powers. His mother always seemed on edge, blaming it on a personality disorder, when Alexander joined the Camp though he realized what she was on edge about.
"A Standard Affair." That's all that Alexander knew. His mother had told him everything when he reached the age of Eight, but "everything" was severely lacking. He was told of his godly father and the troubles that he may face in time. Of course, to an eight year old this was the stuff of fantasy books, Alexander was ecstatic that he was the special child, the unique one who would go on thousands of adventures, save the world and get the girl. Reality was of course, hilariously different.
Alexander was the Child from hell, in his hometown, he'd burnt out half of the neighbourhoods electrical network by the age of five, none were sure how, or why, but his mothers nervous disposition was enough to have them move states entirely. Even in their new home he was a menace, three schools had removed Alexander from their registers after he'd blown up electrical appliances, it seemed he had an affinity for electricity and it was causing his mothers nervousness to increase.
It came to a climax soon enough however, his fathers gift became apparent as mortals became a lot more composed around him, his presence affecting them in the smallest of sub-conscious ways, his affinity for electricity was doing nothing but strengthening year by year, surprisingly however he didn't seem to be showing that much of a like for the element Air, his mother saw him have some kind of control over it, as nature would expect, but he was never as potent with it as he was with Lightning or his presence. Now it came to a head, in the form of Monsters.
Two of them came, Pit scorpions, awful creatures. They came in the night, when Alexander was Eight, they threatened both him and his mom during a camping trip, emotion flared as these two beasts attacked, they took his mother first, her feet and her shoulders grabbed by one scorpion each, she screamed as they scurried away with her. This was Alexanders switch, a couple of mortal campers nearby saw the resulting explosion, one of them, a Roman Historian even exclaimed "By the Power of Jupiter" as a writhing bolt of lightning decimated the two scorpions who had begun advancing back towards Alex.
The Mortal Campers came running, the screams alerting them. Alexander was there alone, sobbing, the mist didn't need to warp anything, the lightning disintegrating the two scorpions completely. What followed was the bureaucracy, Police, Social Services, Medical services, Psychological Services, none of which were helpful in any way. Except for one social worker, who must have be clued into the entire Modern Day Deity scene, because Alexander found himself stood in front of a goddess within 48 Hours at a house far away from where he lived.
Six Months, thats all it took, even by Lupa's standards that was quick. Alexander was attuned to his element already, so only fine tuning was required, he was already handy with his social skills and his general demeanor, he also wielded a sword with some proficiency, although Lupa still didn't understand why he wasn't so good at manipulating the air. Although one thing that was explained to him, his mothers nervousness. On the day he left, he was warned of Juno, his fathers wife, she abhorred all his Children and usually cursed them in some respect. With this information, and with the knowledge he had to fight to Camp Jupiter he set off, waving goodbye to everything in his old life.
His journey forced him into thinking many things, he'd even theorized that Juno had restricted his control over the air just to taunt him and make him feel like less of a son of Jupiter. He shrugged it off though, Gods couldn't usually mess with other gods domains. Three fights with varying Monsters later (a manticore and a stray giant) he'd arrived although as he quickly discovered, he was at an immense disadvantage despite being a Son of Jupiter, he had no letters of recommendation. Regardless, due to his position he was put through standard training, thrown into a cohort and geared up. Now his life began.
Within Camp he became known as Alex, the Lightning Warrior. His sword-arm fought with the power of a Lightning Bolt, sometimes literally. His presence grew a little as he got more confident in himself, one camper even swore that he had an electrical field around him at one time, likening Alex to a Dragonball Z character, Alex hadn't watched that TV show though. Some of the younger campers became more gullible around him, it seemed Natural for him to give orders, not that he did that much unless he was playing a joke, he still wasn't in the position to give orders yet. He rose in social standing around the camp, yet didn't rise in rank, his brash attitude and unorthodox methods were heavily frowned upon by Camp Leadership, he was trialed for Centurion once, but during the trial he broke free of ranks, decimated the three warriors who were trying to flank his Cohort and whirlwinded (quite literally) into the remaining Warriors that came towards his Cohorts position. Something which caused the overseeing Praetor to almost combust inside of his armour.
He'd participated in the assault on Oryths but only in a support sense, he was only Thirteen and was left picking up the injured and carting them home, although it didnt stop him hurling a Lightning Bolt at a stray monster who had somehow snuck behind the Legion Lines, of course, acting outside of his orders he was told off again, but he didn't mind, he knew he'd saved some more Romans from being hurt. Alex is now 15, still not at his full power, he fights with power, rather than speed. He has an abnormal affinity for Electricity, even for a son of Jupiter, he still struggles to control the Air and has a well-known presence in camp, although being known to be a Big Three Child has something to do with that.[/blockquote]

Example 1
"GAH!"
The sound came from the Left, Alex darted his head in that direction, his body twisting to follow. There he saw a fellow member of his team knocked completely unconcious with the hilt of an opponents sword. Flourishing his in his hand he charged towards them, his other team members scurrying to fill the gap in the Tortoise that he'd created. They were used to this by now. He closed the gap startlingly quickly, his opponents turning to face him. Controlling the wind as best he could, he threw his shield, he didn't have to exert much power due to how close he was, but with his lack of skill with the air it was still tough, but he did it. The Shield hit the first hostile square in the chest, taking him straight down.
He stopped running to square up his opponents, both of them sons of Mars. Alex silently swore, his sword arm had incredible power, but against Sons of Mars it wouldn't count for too much, they had speed, skill AND power. He couldn't formulate a plan quickly enough as he noticed the first one moving towards him, he yelled as he leaped, attempting to impale Alex. Alex swivelled on his heel, throwing his sword to his left hand, delivering a powerful right hook straight to the attackers jaw, a nice crack was heard as he crumpled to the floor. Alex then threw his sword back to his right hand, pointing it at the remaining hostile.
"C'mon then, show me what Mars gives his sons aside from ugly faces."
The kid charged, angered as easily as his father usually was. He thrust his spear straight at Alex who narrowly parried it out of the way, he then jumped to the right, throwing a flurry of blows at the opponent, who seemed to block them with ease with his shield. Alex then left a gap in his defense as his slid accidentally on the boggy ground, his opponent took the advantage, he rammed Alex with his shield and delivered a powerful shield-bash in an uppercut fashion, throwing Alex back atleast 4 Feet. Alex could only groan as his opponent retreated back to his own teams line of soldiers who were readying to take on the Tortoise. Not that Alex remembered anything after this, only the how unusually black everything was...
"Oh Crap I'm unconci--"
Example 2
The Intelligence services briefed Lieutenant General Sovol Degud, the commander of the Special Forces Regiments about the compound in 239ABY. Degud said a quick military insertion would be fairly straightforward but he was concerned about the local armed response. He assigned a Captain from the C.S. Primary Reconnaissance Commando Regiment (PRCR) to work with an intelligence team and plan the insertion.
Firstly, a gunship raid was considered, alongside this military strafing runs was considered with specially adapted stealth bombers. It was also considered that working alongside the local military forces could aid the mission, but it was decided by Degud that the government and military of Agamar could not be trusted to maintain operational security for the operation against Levurkennen.
Degud met with the current Director of Special Forces and the Special Forces Command Group in 239ABY to review the possible options, Degud was concerned with operational security and was worried about the possibility of leaks, expressing a desire to proceed with the mission as quickly as possible. Some members of PRCR Command also expressed doubts that Levurkennen was even in the compound and called the raid out on its large risk factor. Towards the end of this meeting, Degud was set on an orbital bombardment, rather than a raid. Two 63 Squadron Officers were tasked with exploring this option.
Orbital Bombardment requires a certain amount of firepower and targetting before it can be authorized and utilized, with the current location of the compound that will be attacked it was estimated that twenty six civilians would also perish within the bombardment, furthermore, with no on-the-ground confirmation of the targets death, Degud placed the orbital bombardment plan on hold, going ahead with research for a low-orbital gunship insertion.
Degud assembled a team of men drawing from the Primary Ground Commando Regiment(PGCR), specifically Yellow Team. Yellow Team was returning home from training exercises on Helska IV and could be easily redirected without any attention being attracted towards them. The team was well skilled with local culture and had experienced an agricultural operation on different planets before. To contain operational security, the team that was drawn were given standard rehearsals of their mission in an undisclosed location, using a scale replica (1:1) of the compound that was to be raided.
Planners of the raid believed that the Team could get to the compound and back to a safezone without being challenged by the local military. The gunships to be used in the raid were designed and modified to be quiet and have low sensor visibility. The possibility of Levurkennen surrendering was there, if he was to surrender he was to be taken and held at the nearby Culuranin Space-Port, if the team was discovered by the local military mid-raid then a specialist diplomatic team would call the local military immediately and attempt to negotiate.
The final Special Forces Command Group meeting came about at the very end of 239ABY. Degud gave approval for the gunship insertion, but he worried that the plan for mid-raid discovery was too shaky, therefore gave the order to equip the team with the necessary equipment to fight its way past local military and back to safety.
Early 240ABY and General Consti explained the final plan to Special Forces Command Group. The "Fight your way out" Scenario was expanded on with the placement of three extra gunships and additional troops trained at the same standard nearby, most of the meetings members agreed with the current plan and the night raid was given the go-ahead by the command group.
The raid was carried out by two dozen gunship-carried Confederate State Ground Commandos from the Primary Ground Commando Regiment(PGCR). The Commandos operated in two teams, Yellow and Blue, they were equipped with C3 Carbine Patrol Rifles and J300 Semi-Automatic Pistols (both with attached suppressors), night vision goggles, standard body armour and radio-comms. There was a total of sixty-two individual commandos involved within the raid, language translators, pilots, comm-operators, intelligence collectors and headquarters personnel were all included with the number.
The Commandos flew into the local area from a staging base in the city of Calna Munn, the capital city. The 8 Special Forces Air Support Regiment, a C.S. army Special Forces Support Unit specially used by Special forces provided the two heavily modified CK-28A Gunships that were used for the raid, as well as the larger CK-42Y that were employed close-by as backups. The CK-28As appeared to be never-seen-before stealth versions of the standard CK-28A gunship as well as the CK-42Ys. The CK-42Ys were kept in standby on the ground about two miles away, with two additional Primary Ground Commando Teams named Red and Orange, they were labelled as a quick reaction force in-case of unplanned incident. The CK-42Ys were equipped with rapid-fire laser cannons and extra fuel for the CK-28As. Their mission was to interdict any local military attempts to interfere with the raid as well as provide reinforcements for the raid if needed.
The raid was scheduled for a time with little moonlight so the gunships could enter the area "low to the ground and undetected". The gunships used hilly terrain and mountain hugging techniques to reach the compound without alerting nearby military forces or sensors. The mission plan was that the first gunship would hover over the compounds yard while its full deployment(12 Commandos, Yellow Team) would use a secure rope to quickly jump to the ground. At the same time the second gunship composed of 16 Commandos(Blue Team) would fly to the south-west corner of the compound, deploy four commandos to secure the perimeter then it would fly over the compounds main building and the rest of Blue Team would use a secure rope to jump down to the roof. Yellow Team was to enter the main building using a ground-floor door.
Things were not perfect however, as Yellow Teams gunship hovered above the courtyard its secondary engine was shot down by a guard who had become alert to the situation, the Pilot landed softly as best he could, ending up at a 45 degree angle. Nobody on board was injured too seriously, with the plan disrupted the second gunship, carrying blue team landed outside and unloaded its Commandos who scaled the compound wall and entered the main building from the wall at the back, Yellow Team entered from the front door, both on the ground floor. The door and the back wall were breached using explosives.

The CK-42Ys were equipped with rapid-fire laser cannons and extra fuel for the CK-28As. Their mission was to interdict any local military attempts to interfere with the raid as well as provide reinforcements for the raid if needed.
The raid was scheduled for a time with little moonlight so the gunships could enter the area "low to the ground and undetected". The gunships used hilly terrain and mountain hugging techniques to reach the compound without alerting nearby military forces or sensors. The mission plan was that the first gunship would hover over the compounds yard while its full deployment(12 Commandos, Yellow Team) would use a secure rope to quickly jump to the ground. At the same time the second gunship composed of 16 Commandos(Blue Team) would fly to the south-west corner of the compound, deploy four commandos to secure the perimeter then it would fly over the compounds main building and the rest of Blue Team would use a secure rope to jump down to the roof. Yellow Team was to enter the main building using a ground-floor door.
Things were not perfect however, as Yellow Teams gunship hovered above the courtyard its secondary engine was shot down by a guard who had become alert to the situation, the Pilot landed softly as best he could, ending up at a 45 degree angle. Nobody on board was injured too seriously, with the plan disrupted the second gunship, carrying blue team landed outside and unloaded its Commandos who scaled the compound wall and entered the main building from the wall at the back, Yellow Team entered from the front door, both on the ground floor. The door and the back wall were breached using explosives.
