@Nideous: Nice SU, Accepted. Although, while it's pretty much possible that your character has had a successful time in school, I would just like to point out that most Greek Demigods have Dyslexia and/or ADHD xD
@Everybody: Even though the second Titan war didn't take place, the conditions set by Percy exist. That is, all minor Gods have their throne in Mt. Olympus, have a cabin in Camp Half-Blood, and have to claim their child when they turn 13. Also, for the time being, there will be no Roman Mythology involved, which means, no Heroes of Olympus references. :P Also, the OOC will be up when I complete my SU, and a few more SUs come in. :D
OLYMPUS I DON'T NEED TO TELL THE PASSWORD, CUZ I MADE THE RULEZ! >:D
Heavily edited SU, History still needs to be done.

Name: Alexander 'Alex' Newton
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Parent: Ares
Appearance: -GENERAL-
Alex is a huge guy compared to others his age. He is about 6 feet, pretty tall for a guy his age. He has dark brown hair, often mistaken as black from a distance. His hair is always unkempt. Alex has dark grey eyes, which turn red and seem to have fire flaring in them when he gets mad. His hair has red streaks in them, which is one of his favorite colors. Alex has a tan, caused by the intense hours of training out in the sun.
Alex is a rather buff guy, having a strong muscular build. He has a rather strong body, with muscular arms and long, powerful legs that help him in running. He has a lot of scars almost everywhere in his body, due to his intense training. He has rather rough large hands, perfect for wielding any kind of melee weapon. Alex is as solid as a wall, almost nothing can get past his huge frame. The only downside to his frame is that he isn't able to fit into small spaces. His long legs help him gain speed in battle, and he has a rather sleek figure, enabling him to battle fluidly in war.
His eyes turn a deep red when Alex loses his temper. It's almost as if he has fire inside them, hot enough to melt anything in the world. His muscles swell up when he is excited, making him look much more bigger and helping him to intimidate other weaker foes. He is strong enough to beat up a hellhound in hand to hand combat. He has large feet too, with rather small stubby toes, but don't talk about them, otherwise he'll lose his temper. His nose is pointed, and he has small ears that are able to listen to almost every sound nearby. He also has some spots on his face, with some hair on his rough chin.
-CLOTHING-
Usually, Alex wears his orange Camp Half Blood T-shirt underneath a black leather jacket, which is what his father Ares usually wears. He wears black trousers most of the time, with grey training sneakers. He usually has his sword in a scabbard on his belt, easily reachable in emergencies. He wears black fingerless gloves, so that his hands aren't blistered from holding the sword for too long. His clothes are also pretty torn and patched, cause of his battles.
For battle, he doesn't wear a helmet, thinking that it gets in the way too much. His battle armor is black in color, with the symbol of Ares painted in red on his chest. He always wears his Camp Half Blood necklace with 2 beads. He also wears a big bracelet on his left arm, that transforms into a shield when he presses a button. Alex has a silver ring which had been given by his mother when Alex was about to leave for Camp Half Blood. Normally he wears black opaque shades that ensure that his eyes aren't seen, so that nobody can see his eyes and know when he is angry. He always carries a small bag along with himself, in which he keeps things that would help him in a battle, like Nectar, Ambrosia, etc. He also has a small Hellhound tooth hanging on his Camp Half Blood necklace.
Personality: Alex is pretty much a big hot head like his father. He has a rather rude, insulting sarcastic sense of humor, often talking trash about others to lower their self confidence. He is a pretty careless guy as well, not taking care of his armor, and equipment. Alex loves to battle all the time, training hard. Whenever he sees a battle, he gets hyperactive, and starts buzzing with excitement. He has a really huge temper as well, he loses his cool pretty easily. It's really easy for him to make enemies, but difficult to make friends. Alex is a very rash guy as well, who often doesn't think before doing He often places his group into really big problems. He is a big bully, a person who'll often pick on weaker people who he doesn't like, but at the same time, he's also a person who respects people stronger than him. He also has a strong respect for honor, following certain rules while fighting in war. He is a pretty rebellious guy, not one who listens to others most of the time. He is pretty arrogant as well, and overconfident.
Alex is also a guy who depends on brawn more than brains, which makes him lose a lotta times. He is not a very good tactician, so he sticks close to Athena's kids during battle, relying on them to formulate plans. Alex has a natural sense of leadership though, and being the strongest in his camp, he is the the leader of the Ares cabin. He hates to lose, and detests cowards a lot. He'll never back down from a fight, always stay ahead and keep fighting. He cares a lot about his very few friends, making sure he'll do everything in his power to protect them. He kind of has a love-hate attitude towards his father, he hates him for abandoning him, like a lot of other people, but still, he is able to relate to him due to his nature, so he likes him too. He looks at Ares like a role model in war, having a never back down attitude. Alex does have a rather calm, gentle side though, which he rarely shows. He likes to keep a certain image of himself in front of the campers, making himself look like the strong, buff guy who is never scared of anything. He is also a guy who doesn't care much about emotions, often rejecting them. He feels that love just drags people down, specially in the battlefield. He respects the opponents he defeats, often keeping mementos from his battles to commemorate his victories against them.
Aside from that, he also suffers from ADHD, and Dyslexia, which makes him hyperactive and have a short attention span. He can easily read old Greek letters, but has trouble with English. Alex both respects teamwork and detests it too. When he sees a huge foe, he wants to battle him one on one, but during a war he'd prefer to fight with a team and a strategy. His favorite game is definitely Capture the Flag. He is also very good with animals, like dogs, who he can talk to as well. His general likes include fighting, war, action movies, violent video games, and action figures involving any kind of fighting.
History: Before Camp Half-Blood, Alexander led a pretty easy life. He lived with his mother in New York City, leading a normal, monster free life. He didn't perform very well in school on the academic side, cause of his Dyslexia, but he was the star athlete of his school. Already big and strong, he used to excel in sports, being almost invincible in Boxing and wrestling. He was a natural learner, being able to fight and defend himself easily in school. His social life was pretty good as well, his bullying caused people to get attracted to him, to be with the cool guy. Of course, people used to suck up to him too, and he ruled the school, being the strongest there. He loved his life back then, when everybody feared him, and looked up to him. Some people who got on his bad side though, thought he was a freak, and claimed to see fire in his eyes when he was angry.
His mother used to work as a waitress in a restaurant. While Alex did wonder about his father a lot, and questioned his mother about it, she usually avoided the topic. Alex could see this clearly, so he didn't question her too much about him. He always used to wonder why during his field trip to museums, he was easily able to read ancient Greek text, but difficult to read modern english. He hadn't actually cared much about Greek god and all that stuff, he seemed to naturally know all the names of the gods, and then name of the God of War, Ares, always made a fire inside him boil.
Alex also used to have a special connection to a dog, with whom he could actually talk, but the others thought that he was mad. Surprisingly, his mother believed him, and never questioned his strange qualities, like loving to fight, or always being angry and hotheaded. He used to wonder about his past a lot, but his mother usually didn't reveal any secrets of the past, or of his father. All she told him was that his father had gone MIA in a war. He usually had a bad reputation with his teachers at school, due to his constant fights. This always made his mother sad, and one thing Alex hated was seeing his mother sad. His mother used to get sad every time she thought about his father, and Alex tried his best to not get into any fights and cause more grief to his mother. They almost always had financial problems, they had almost no money to support them. Alex always felt mad at his dad for not being there for them, and used to pray to god to save them. Magically, he almost always asked Ares for help, as if there was a special connection between the two.
His whole life changed when he was attacked by a hellhound when he was walking down a street one evening. He was forced to fight the creature with his bare hands, but he was not ready for that kind of situation. A boy named Zed had interrupted the fight, and aided Alex by handing him a sword. Alex, obviously new at this, defeated the monster with a lot of difficulty, and kept his tooth that day as a memento. The encounter had helped Alex to see through the Mist, and he could see Zed was a half man, half goat, a Satyr. Feeling confused about everything, they had met Alex's mother, and she told him the whole truth about everything. She had told him how the gods still existed, and how she had met Ares, a hotheaded, rash, brave man. She told him how much Alex reminded him of his father, and how sad she felt everyday. She instructed him to leave for Camp HalfBlood, along with Zed.
The next few days were a blur for Alex, camping, fighting off monsters who caught their scent. It all felt like a deadly road trip, death at every corner. His strength kept him and Zed safe all the time, and while Zed tried is best to find a few more demigods like Alex, they found no luck. On the way there, they were helped by several creatures as well, including wolves, boars, and dogs. This proved as even more evidence that he was the son of Ares. Eventually, after days of surviving off the road, they reached Half blood hill. They made it up the hill, and Alex and Zed were safe, with only a few bruises. Zed left on a new mission to find other demigods, and Alex stayed at Camp Half-Blood, making it into a second home.
Alex trained hard all year, learning the skills of the heroic demigods from Chiron. His days there were blissful, he could fight as much as he wanted as much as he wanted, with no one to stop him. Of course, he wasn't really the most powerful here, so he didn't get all the respect he wanted, but he still made a lot of demigods respect him. He was the strongest fighter in the place at that time, and the demigods felt safe with him being there. He didn't really like learning Greek and history, but he did so, to not offend his father. Even though he knew who his father was, he was claimed by him nevertheless.
He would occasionally wander into the woods, just to explore. He would train there by fighting monsters, and finding escape routes, and setting tactics for Capture the Flag. His training in the woods helped him in battle. He also found a wolf in the woods, called Link, whom he decided to adopt. Of course, teh wolf only acts as a companion, and not as a fighter, as Alex thinks it's much better for one to fight their own battles.
His life in Camp Half-Blood was really good, and after Camp ended, he returned to his mother in New York. After spending time with his mom, and going to a regular school, he returned to camp, which had become like a second home to him. Again, he went back to his usual routine, training hard, working hard. Seeing his accomplishments, he was made the Head Counselor of the Ares Cabin. He helped his cabin in becoming one of the most respected and (in)famous cabins in Camp Half-Blood.
When the year ended, and he was about to leave for home, he got the news that his mother had died of a disease, and couldn't get treated in time cause of their financial problems. Alex went back to New York, and attended his mother's funeral. He felt really mad at Ares, for not warning him about this, but he knew he couldn't blame him now. He learnt how people went to the Underworld once they died, and vowed to bring his mother back from there, even if he had to fight the Underworld's god, Hades, to do so.
While he hasn't met any god in person, he wishes to do so. He often wonders about the room on top of the Big House, that houses the Oracle. As for his relationships on Camp grounds, he often meets up with Argus, the head of security, often sparring with him. He is on pretty good terms with Chiron, who is of course, kind to every camper, teaching Alex archery, and history as well. He is not on very good terms with Mr. D, though, who keeps saying his name wrong, and giving him stupid tasks.
He often sees dreams, in which he sees a person in a dark room, wearing shades like him. The man warns him about the battle coming up ahead, and for some reason, Alex believes him. The dreams always have him waking up with a start, and it always leaves him in a very bad mood. He hasn't heard any other demigods having such dreams, but he still finds them pretty normal. He is on pretty good terms with the Aphrodite cabin.
He is now staying in Camp Half-Blood, training hard for the day he will get his mom back, and for the fight ahead.
Weapon: A sword made of Celestial Bronze.
Others: He is the head counselor of the Ares Cabin. He also has a companion wolf called Link, who accompanies him but doesn't battle.
