Personality:
As his appearance may give off Fabian is indeed one of those lovable oafs you can't help but remotely like... at least at a first glance. The moment you start a conversation, it will all go downhill, depending on your tolerance levels anyway. He is just chatty and loud, going on and on even if you're not listening. He is the type to give a quiet person a very bad migraine, and would most likely be an ear-worm to even the most social of people. He is seemingly tactless, though usually he doesn't even know he's being rude. This is a result of him never reading the atmosphere, nor will he even try to read it. On top of his tactlessness he has a habit of minding other people's business, and this tends to make him seem pretty damn nosy. He will make the excuse that as the "hero" he needs to know what is going on, even if it has nothing to do with him..
Yes, he believes himself to be the big-shot "hero" that everyone should look up to, just because his dad happens to be Zeus. Due to this he often acts in a very conceited manner: his opinions are the best opinions and no one's allowed to disagree, he's the hero and everything he does is great regardless of what you think. He appears ignorant of world geography as a result of his ego, as well as a lack of caring on noticing other landmasses. He knows they are there, he just never bothers with acknowledging the fact they are existent as it's not directly pertaining to him.
He is very accepting of different people and cultures. However, he is quick to judge and often assumes things without proper backing. The one thing most people seem to miss is that he actually does mean well. He honestly tries to make things better, even though sometimes things just get worse. This is rarely the intention, and when he wants to help, he really does want to help.
His overall optimistic nature is accompanied with a love of adventure, and the overall drive to just keep going. Often times his international faults come from him pressing his views and ways of doing things on others, much to their annoyances. He believes himself to be a role-model for everyone, even to those who know better than he does. This among other things has caused him to become a relatively friendless individual despite his bubbly nature. Yes, he has a global hold on the world as being the last major superpower, but it's lonely standing on the top. It is not something he lets get at him, because he has faith that in the end everyone will just accept him warmly anyway.
The world to him is something that needs to keep up as he keeps moving onwards, not waiting for a single soul to catch up. He doesn't see the ride as a conflict, but rather as a competition. In modern times, one might think he has been slowing down or losing his touch. He'll admit there is a bump in the road, but thus far this has not stopped him, more than anything it's causing him to push himself further. For the entirety of his life, he has been quick to adapt, quick to fall, but just as quick to get up and keep going. To him no obstacle is too big or difficult to overcome. It's simply just another challenge to test him, which never bothered him (more than anything he relishes it). He's an overachiever to say the least, or at least this is his opinion. There are times though where he can appear to be incredibly lazy, and at the end of the day he really just does whatever the hell he wants. He's steadfast in his beliefs, and will become very unwavering to anything that conflicts with his ideals about the world.
As an upholder of "liberty and justice for all", he is quick to try to cut down those who obstruct this. Indeed, an enemy of liberty is an enemy of his, no doubt about it. Despite everything he's really not the sort of guy you want against you, rather, he's better to have on your side if you hope to crawl out of the situation intact. Due to the way he is wired, he will absolutely refuse to back down and will stay until the very, very end, even if he is on the losing team. He will make sure he has, or at least feels, that he has tried to have accomplished his goals. An innocent face he may be, but not one that should be taken so lightly. In fact, when angered he becomes even more unrelenting. As much as he may deny it (due to the somewhat unheroic nature of it), he is very capable of using anger solely as a fuel for his actions and fights and is very capable of feeling the utmost need for revenge. He is familiar of feeling a great animosity towards those he dislikes, and for the most part he's not afraid to show it. While his more vicious side is usually hidden pretty damn well it's still there, and he can be quite nasty when he decides to show it.
He retains much of his childlike behavior, and often what he has to say is rather immature. There are however times when he appears to behave in a fashion more appropriate for certain situations. As uncommon as they seem to be, he has been able to handle situations more accordingly and in a more practical level.
Passionate would be another good word to fit the bumbling youth, especially with his beliefs, and motives.

So whats your Story
Fabian has lead a fairly normal childhood, and for the most of it, uneventful even. He was born in London, England, (hence his accent) though his family officially lived on the outskirts of Paris. When he and his brother were born, his mother had been modelling in England, and so they lived there for several years, before eventually moving back to France. Fabian was the only one to retain the stereotypical flawless British accent.
It was when they moved back to Paris that the trouble truly began. Originally, Monica believed that the sudden interest in the family was due to her being known pretty much worldwide as an accomplished model, though eventually it became clear that the newfound publicity was far more sinister.
People began to approach her youngest son at school, some older children even going as far as following him home, lurking in the shadows, laying in wait for him. Though to start with, they never openly threatened Fabian, preferring to attempt to lure him towards them, promising m great number of tempting things, though always referred to Fabian as 'demigod' rather than using his name, which never ceased to terrify and confuse him, which was in itself unusual.
Scared for her children's safety, his mother employed a private tutor to educate them at home, preventing them from leaving the estate unless completely necessary. Despite the obvious connection that she quickly made between Fabian and her past relationship, she refused to send him to Camp, though keeping it in mind as a last resort.
The new precautions did work for a time, until the tutor, who had taken an interest in Fabian due to his clearly superior intellect in comparison to his brother, insisted that they talk alone and attempted to take his life. The creature didn't even bother to reveal its true form, merely attacking him for no obvious reason. That wasn't particularly good, but hey, you can't have everything. So while he was being mauled to death, the gardener decided to turn up, which if he was concious would have baffled Fabian completely. Even more so if he had noted the fact that said gardener appeared to be a goat-like creature from the waist down, so it was probably best that he didn't.
