I love the Stoll brothers, they are two of my all time favorite Riordanverse characters, so here are some headcanons, that no one asked for:
- They're from Scotland, they were born in Edinburgh, but they're half Scottish and half French from their mom's side. So they have double citizenship.
- Their mom was a daughter of a banker and a fashion model, but decided she wanted to be a track athlete. That's how Hermes first noticed her.
- She was super beautiful, had the potential to become one of the best at her sport, so Hermes didn't need much encouraging to go and shoot his shot.
-Because of her career and family background (and her looks) she got very famous and made some good money. So the Stolls are filthy rich, but they never really show it.
- They weren't found by a satir, it was their mom who took them to CHB. They were in NY when a monster started following them, so their mom knew it was time to take them to camp (Hermes had told her about it).
- They were claimed almost instantly, the moment they crossed the border a caduceus appeared above their heads.
- They didn't really get along with Luke. He tried to like them and become close with them, but the fact that Hermes had two kids with the same woman, they had a healthy relationship with their mother and had a normal childhood (unlike him) was too much.
- Still they were very hurt by Luke's betrayal and it low-key gave them abandonment issues.
- Both of them are super fast and athletic. When they were about 10-11 years old they decided they wanted to follow their mom's footsteps, but since they didn't want to compete against each other they picked different sports. Travis chose long and triple jump and Connor picked sprinting ( at 100m and 200m to be exact)
-They are exact copies of Hermes, the only difference between them is the hair color. That's another reason Luke didn't like them - the more they grew, the more they looked like him.
- Their obsession is shoes. They have so many pairs that they have a room just for them at home. At the same time they probably have like 5 t-shirt combined.
- Both of them are very successful athletes and are considered unbeatable.
- Unlike some of their siblings they have great respect for their father and pray to him before every competition. And he always hears them.
- After the Titan war Hermes decided that he should pay more attention to his kids (thank God), so he became the Stolls coach. In the beginning it was strange, but they quickly got used to having their father around.
-They are close with all of their siblings, but Cecil is their favorite, cuz he reminds them of a younger them, but without all the traumas and abandonment issues.
This is everything I can think of for now, but trust, there is more
