Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, would be hella taken with our favorite Avenger (Tony Stark, in case there was any doubt in that). So my thoughts are, Peter Parker is Athena's brain-child/gift to Mr. Stark for his purely beautiful mind. It would so fit.
Alternately:
Athena was so taken with our genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist that she stayed on Earth with/for him. Enter one B.A.M.F. Virginia Pepper Potts, capable of being an insanely good superhero, but decides to leave the work to the mortals as she focuses on taking care of the greatest mind she's seen since time began.
So, this lovely lady
Is the gifted brain-child.
And these two,
Are other brain-children that she led him to because they could all benefit from each other and she wasn't about to abandon her poor genius brain-babies to the horrors of the world without some serious backup.
Yep, I have now latched on to the beautiful thought of these three genius children of Tony Stark's are actually Pepper Potts' (aka Athena's).
Hey everyone! So, for this post, I’m going to be mostly talking about Alexius and the group from the first Camp Eon quest. Maybe I’ll do some more in-depth intros later! I’ll also put picrews of the characters at the end so you can kind of see how I’ve envisioned them.
Enjoy!
ALEXIUS
Full name: Alexius Joit. Don’t call him that.
Group/s: Nemoan, Fourth-Powered
Pronouns/gender: he/him, male
Sexual orientation: gay
Other information:
Became director of Camp Eon at age 19
Blessed by two fire deities–Blaise (Blakinia), and Hestia (Greek goddess of the Hearth)
(Though Blaise is, like, his best friend, and she prefers hanging around with him to doing actual queenly duties)
He can summon his sword, Akalaksis, from thin air
(That sword which is also themed around the sea with the handle being made out of driftwood and bound together by seaweed)
He’s been ignored by the fates–which basically means that he doesn’t show up in prophecies, and curses don’t usually affect him. (For example, he’s safely eaten food from the Underworld before.)
He was voted to be Commander of Camp Eon’s army as they marched to fight North
Aged 14 during Rebel Prophecy quest
AKA: “Waterling” (usually used by someone/something that’s trying to kill him), “Son of the Sea” (since Nemo is a water group. This is the phrase that made Percy think that Alex was also a son of Poseidon)
He’s kind of like the Percy Jackson of Camp Eon, except he’s like 10x more powerful (sometimes), Fourth-Powered, and basically runs the camp he goes to.
He grew up mostly on the streets after running away from the home he lived in with his father, fully rejecting that part of him–kind of like Annabeth did.
ELLIE
Full name: Ellie C.
Group/s: Nemoan, Half-Powered
Pronouns/gender: she/her, female
Sexual orientation: heterosexual
Other information:
She was co-commander w/ Alexius when they went to fight North
She killed the Rebel queen once (and her goal is now to permanently take her down)
She was the first person in the Nemo cabin to accept Alexius (since he’s Fourth-Powered)
Aged 14 during Rebel Prophecy quest
Ellie grew up a lot more excited about where she came from, going to Camp Eon since she was little. She was also super excited to meet everyone at Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter and loves making new friends and event planning!
JAMIE
Full name: James Brunden
Group/s: Fividican, Half-Powered
Pronouns/gender: he/him, male
Sexual orientation: gay
Other information:
One of the head counselors of the Fividican cabin
Animal is the chickadee
(Alexius’s boyfriend because gay)
One of the few Fividican people who can work closely with all animals, including ones that aren’t theirs
Aged 16/17 during Rebel Prophecy quest
Jamie was a last-minute addition to the Rebel Prophecy team, but he was still one of the most important members. He operated sort of as the optimist/therapist of the group on the prophecy, trying to keep the others upbeat and from giving up hope. He was the one who helped Ellie encourage Alex to try living at home with his dad again.
He’s known in his cabin for, of course, his powers with all animals, but also because of how kind he was to campers in the Fividican cabin and how he never used his power to get an advantage over them.
ETHAN
Full name: Ethan, last name unknown
Group/s: from the Emerald Kingdom, Fourth-Powered
Pronouns/gender: he/him, male
Sexual orientation: heterosexual
Other information:
His parents left him at Camp Eon where he was raised by their old director, Deron, after he began showing his powers (since he’s from the Emerald Kingdom, where people don’t have powers)
Because there’s nobody else like him at camp, he’s got his own cabin. (He’s one of the Fourth-Powered kids who is mixed with the other campers.)
He’s mute, possibly due to some of his powers
He’s been in love with AJ, a Half-Powered year-rounder who’s definitely not interested, for years.
One of his main powers, like how Alex has fire, is slowing down time temporarily–just like Kronos used to do.
Since he was the only other Fourth-Powered person mixed in with other campers, he and Alex usually sat together and hung out a lot.
Aged 17 during Rebel Prophecy quest
Ethan always bonded the most with Alex, as they could communicate telepathically (Fourth-Powered people, am I right?), but he made an impression on everyone in the group. He’s always willing to help people, even if it drains him a little bit. He always tried to use his powers for good, even if that meant fighting against titans whose strength he somehow matched.
AJ
Full name: Arla Jaqouine
Group/s: Astorian, Half-Powered
Pronouns/gender: she/her, female
Sexual orientation: heterosexual (though this isn’t set in stone, and she kind of gives of aroace vibes, so you never know)
Other information:
She was one of the first people Deron chose to go on the Rebel Prophecy quest
The others (except Ethan, of course) were scared and/or intimidated at her by first
She’s really good at archery (if she were a demigod, she would definitely be one of Apollo’s kids)
Unlike another kid from her cabin, Becca (who also really looked up to AJ), AJ didn’t commonly use her powers, if she did at all.
She constantly rejected Ethan’s advances, but she still grew closer to him on the quest. (And she also used him to do a few things for her because, come on, free labor)
Aged 16 during Rebel Prophecy quest
She inspired all her friends, and she was the reason that they made part of their pact "I am proud to call these people my friends." Before, they had just decided to work with one another and tolerate their situation. After the quest, the five agreed to never be ashamed of who they work with. (Alex, who was most protective of the pact, which was kept in a back room of Deron’s cabin, even eventually let Becca sign it.)
NINA
Full name: Nina Blake
Group/s: demigod, unclaimed
Pronouns/gender: she/her, female
Sexual orientation: heteroromantic, asexual
Other information:
Nina was taken to Camp Eon by Deron, who said she’d be going somewhere to work as a “communications/mail carrier” between the two locations, only to end up going on a quest with five strangers.
She ended up deciding to stay at Camp Eon after that, sleeping in the Nemo cabin every summer
She and Ellie called each other sisters and were best friends
Nina was one of the three people on the small quest that led them to the Labyrinth and Percy’s crew
She was an unclaimed demigod and (spoiler alert) ended up dying during the Battle of Manhattan, meaning she never got to be claimed (this also means that she was in the Hermes cabin the first few nights Percy was).
Aged 14 during Rebel Prophecy quest
She was another inspiration to the group, and along with Ellie, encouraged Alex to come out of his shell more and do what he wanted. Since she was a demigod, she was one of the closest kids to Percy besides Alexius. If she hadn’t died, she probably would’ve ended up joining the Hunters of Artemis.
BECCA
Full name: Becca
Group/s: Astorian, Half-Powered
Pronouns/gender: she/her, female
Sexual orientation: haven’t really thought much about it yet, she’s still a little kid in my eyes
Other information:
Becca was only 13, about to turn 14, when she was selected to go on her first quest, making her even younger than Alexius and Ellie (who had previously been the youngest kids in Camp Eon’s short history to go on a quest)
Due to some things that happened on the Rebel Prophecy quest, Alex was reluctant to let her go along with he and Nina (he even tried to get out of the quest when Deron refused to take Becca off), but he ended up becoming a sort of big brother figure to her
She looked up to AJ a lot when she was younger (and when she was older, too)
Even if she looked up to AJ, who never used her powers, Becca uses her powers all the time, especially when it’s working with Alexius (or they’re being used to help him)
Becca tried to find a new sister, like what she had with AJ. Instead she ended up with an entire new family. But, hey, that’s pretty cool either way.
I had a lot of fun writing this post, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I love these characters (well, I love all of them, but anyway) and hope to start doing some more with them soon, even if it’s not much. This is the final part of The Eons Explained that I’ve got planned so far, though maybe I’ll have some posts later on explaining the plot & details.
Thanks for reading and I hope the picrews I did of them (I beg of you, don’t make me draw) give you a bit more of a picture of how they look. You can check them out after the cut!
<3,
Bat
