Personality: Talia is always serious all the time. She never gives herself time to let loss and have fun. No one ever sees her smile and she is always and deep thought. Talia likes to keep busy, always training or thinking of battle plans. She can be pretty anti-social and doesn't talk with many people.
Talents: Talia is good with all weapons she had time to practice with. She is best with a spear, but is pretty good with a sword, bow and arrows, daggers, etc. She is always excellent in hand-to-hand combat from Martial Art lessons when she was a kid and boxing. She also can make someone extremely nervous around her because of her steady stare, which some would call the Talia Glare.
Flaws (at least three): Talia is completely independent, which can be considered a good thing but she never asks for help and won't accept it. She believes she can do everything on her own. As mentioned earlier, she is anti-social and when people try to talk with her and usually just stares at them until they leave her alone. Talia also over thinks things a lot, making her make things overly complicated and hard for others to follow.
Weapon (Celestial bronze/Imperial gold/Egyptian bronze): Imperial gold spear named
Virtus.
Abilities: She is an excellent fighter and can make great battle plans. She knows a lot of war history and is an expert in all forms of warfare.
Powers: Can curse a weapon for a short period of time to make it not work for the owner. Ex. it is to heavy to lift or feels like it's on fire (lasts for two posts and has to recharge for five posts). Also can manipulate someone's thoughts to make them more angry, she barely ever uses it but she sometimes can't control it when she is angry and can make others angry (one use every three posts).
History: Talia was taken away by Lupa when she was thirteen. Her father had his arm blown off in Afghanistan in am ambush and has been going through rehabilitation, so he wasn't around for most of the day. Talia skipped school (which was bully central) almost every day of the week to go to boxing and MMA classes. She always knew she was different and loved the rush of fighting, so she decided to make that her life. She was attacked by some bad wind spirits one day and tried to fight them to no avail. She fought and eventually Lupa's wolves showed up right as Talia was about to be thrown into a busy street, where she was no doubt about to be run over. They said Lupa sent them and she could smell her as a demigod and Talia went with Lupa's pack right away. They trained her on the way to Camp Jupiter, giving her
Virtus. Then Talia arrived at Camp Jupiter and has been there ever since.
RP Sample (required for first form): Talia was walking through New Rome alone. There were people running around: Legacies, some of her fellow warriors, some retired people she knew, there kids. Talia let out a sigh as she walked into a coffee shop and ordered her favorite: plain black coffee. She liked the bitter taste; it woke her up. She turned and walked out of the shop, sipping her coffee as she walked the streets alone.
Weaknesses: Focusing on details to much, not taking jokes in a good way, a perfectionist.
Pets: None.
Likes: Fighting, competition, boxing, MMA, battle plans, coffee, war books (fiction and nonfiction), rock music.
Dislikes: High-pitched voices, cheese, ignorant people, arrogant people, losing.
Hobbies: Fighting, planning battles, reading.
Dream job: Talia never really thought about it. She always suspected she would group up and die fighting. Before she knew she was a demigod, she wanted to be a boxer because she liked to fight. But now, she couldn't help but want to be praetor, even though she knew that was most likely never going to happen.
What do they want the most in life right now?: Her mother. She never even meet her mother and didn't know anything besides she was the goddess of war. Her whole life she went without her mother and she wants to at least meet her.
Secrets: That she is actually really lonely. She doesn't have any friends and doesn't really try to get them. She wants a friend, but she would never admit that.
Ideal boyfriend/girlfriend: Talia is really serious all the time, but it would be good for her to have someone to loosen her up. Not a lot, but a guy responsible enough but still fun-loving. They have to be a good fighter and be able to take a few hits. Talia always respected people who were brave and polite.
Insecurities: Not making her mother proud. She knew that Bellona was never there and she should hate her for never being around, but she always wanted her approval and she doesn't know if she got that yet.
Former/current relationships: Talia doesn't have many friends, but on a trip to Camp Half-Blood she meet a daughter of Aphrodite and they became friends -- Bri Jasper (me). They Iris message sometimes since Bri doesn't have a phone.
How parents met: Before her dad got his arm blown off, he was a commander in the US army in Afghanistan. Bellona apparently was watching the battle and fell in love with Anthony Roth's bravery and had a child soon after.
Time in camp (Greeks)/the Legion (Romans)/Hotel Valhalla (Norse)/Brooklyn House (Egyptians): Has been with the Legion since she was thirteen, so five years.
