The Basics

Age: 18
Gender: Male
Olympian Parent: Apollo
What does looks have to do with it
Height: 6 feet 2
Weight: 170
Hair color: Dirty blonde
Eye color: Light green
Overall: With dirty blonde hair and light green eyes, Wren is far from unattractive and he knows this. He stands at height of six feet two and his build has some muscle but not as much as some of the other demigods. Wren constantly has to push his bangs out of his face since he attempts to pull off the popular hair style that he believes will earn him more attention from girls. Wren is also constantly checking his reflection to make sure he looks nothing shy of perfect. He has a few freckles on his cheeks that seem to fade during the winter months but reappear during the summer. A crescent shaped scar runs through Wren's right eyebrow, but he often refers to it as a battle scar. His light green eyes are always sparkling with excitement from telling his latest 'heroic adventure' or simply because of a joke he heard while goofing around with his friends.
How do you like me now
Personality: Wren has always been confident and since he arrived at Camp Half Blood this confidence has only risen. He has excelled in archery and healing while also gaining plenty of attention from the demigod female population. Wren claims that he has 'mastered the art of flirting.' He loves to be the center of attention, especially when the attention is from girls. Wren is very outgoing and immediately made many friends in the camp. His confidence, however, may become his downfall since it often leads Wren to bite off more than he can chew. Wren also does not have very much real life experience. He would much rather make up fantasy adventures to impress others than actually venture into the world and risk his life. Wren constantly strives to be the best at everything and when he is unsuccessful, he will often target the individual who beat him. Wren is a very talkative and social demigod and hates being ignored or surrounded by silence. He relies a bit too much on the safety of a crowd over his own individual strength. A secret ability and interest of Wren's is singing and playing instruments. One of the few times he will venture alone is when he wants to sing or play an instrument. Wren will often find a secluded area and write his own songs expressing his emotion that day.

So whats your Story
History: Wren grew up never knowing that his 'father' was not his biological father. His family lived in a few upscaled part of town and had nothing but the best. Wren was spoiled from his early childhood and a simple frown would send every servant running to find something that would make the little boy's beautiful smile return. He discovered his musical ability quickly and would begin creating songs on his toddler instruments. As soon as his parents discovered this talent, however, they quickly invested in many instruments and lessons for the prodigy. Wren kept his singing ability to himself, however, since he felt as if it was his own, personal, talent.
When he turned four, Wren's parents decided to throw the young boy a surprise birthday party. The plans were running smoothly until it was time to surprise Wren. When he walked into the room and everyone jumped out yelling 'surprise!', he ran away and straight into the dining room table. One of the priceless, china plates toppled off of the table and fell onto Wren, leaving the crescent shaped scar that is still visible today. As he grew older, Wren promised himself that he would grow up to be the strongest and most courageous man in the world. With this goal in mind, Wren searched for a sport to help his body strengthen. While his father envisioned his son being the star of his school's football, baseball, or basketball team, Wren had different plans.
Wren demanded that his parents enroll him into archery lessons. For some reason he could not understand, he felt as if archery called to him. Wren immediately understood how to properly shoot the arrows and practiced archery during any free time he had. While Wren and his father saw this ability as a gift, his mother saw it as a curse. She began to realize what her son's abilities meant and she feared her perfect family was not so perfect. On his fifteenth birthday, Wren begged his parents to let him try to drive for the first time. Since his father was tired, Wren's mother took this as her opportunity and quickly agreed. She instructed him on which roads to turn onto, what exits to take and before long, she asked him to pull over. Wren did not understand why his mother had him drive to what seemed like the middle of nowhere.
She then proceeded to tell him that he was a demigod and simply had to leave. Wren simply stood frozen in shock as his mother ranted about how she simply could not take him back home to ruin her perfect family. With this said, Wren's mother slid into the driver's seat and drove away leaving a confused and betrayed Wren behind. Unsure if he was awake or simply dreaming, Wren stumbled through the forest, hoping to find answers. What he found, however, was more than he could have imagined. Wren stumbled upon Camp Half Blood and was quickly welcomed. It took Wren less than a day to compose himself and devise a much less humiliating story about how he came to reach the camp.
