Son of Boreas

(This Character Belongs to Nhlott)

  History

Clara Barrett was a beautiful young athlete from New York, who excelled particularly in winter sports. This initially drew the attention of Boreas to her. When she gave her dreams of competing in the Olympics and joined the army, Boreas often visited her in basic training, under the guise of a young man named Boris. Not long after,having excelled in basic, Clara joined the Unites States Forces Japan in the Army, being stationed in Etajima, Hiroshima, having a menial desk job in the Akizuki Ammunition Depot.

After working there for a few months, Clara began to more frequently have complaints of feeling nauseous and experiencing vertigo. She then went to see a doctor and was shocked to hear that she was pregnant.

Months later, she gave birth to her son, naming him Clifton, after her father.

Growing up, Cliff often hung out with his mother on the job, learning to become comfortable with the military. As he got older, he would spar with some of his mother's friends in the Depot, learning a bit of hand-to hand combat.

Cliff also found that when the area around him was especially cold, he was more aware and felt stronger. This often lead to Clara finding him hanging out in walk-in freezers in the Depot kitchen, or in his room with the air conditioning on full-blast.



 

One day while looking around the storage units in the depot, Cliff stumbled upon what looked like a glowing sword. He touched it and felt a cold gust of wind and what sounded like barely the whisper of a man's voice in his ear "It's yours." He took it and as he did, he heard a rustling behind him. As he turned, what looked like some strange monkey-man beast tackled him, and tried to violently scratch at his face. He used to sword to hold it back as best as he could, but its fur smelled of rotten meat, and soon the smell made him sneeze. Suddenly the creature was thrown back and covered with a layer of frost. He then rose to his feet and ran as fast as he could towards his mother's office. When he walked in, he finds another monkey-man that attacks him. On instinct,he swings the sword at it. It ducks under the blade and claws at his legs. He kicked it away and continued running.

As the monsters chased after Cliff, Clara tackled them, pushing them into a storage unit. She ran up to cliff and hugged him tightly. "I was hoping that this wouldn't happen so soon." "Mom, what's going on?" "Here, Cliff, you have to get out of here. The only place you'll be safe is a camp in New York your father told me about. Shocked she'd spoken of his father, he nodded as he heard her out, explaining Camp Half-Blood to him. Just as she finished, the Kerkopes exploded out of the unit and attacked. He decapitated the first and,being prepared, he created a gust of icy wind, and a shard of ice lodged itself in its head,dissolving it to dust instantly.

Clara then gave him a plane ticket and some money, saying that making it to camp on his own would be like a last test to show he was ready. He arrived at the JFK airport a day later, and searched around NYC for couple of days before finding camp and upon entering was claimed as a son of Boreas.
