Index > Camp Claiming > Camp/Lennon Butler
Im pretty sure its been a week since Callista was claimed. SO LETS GET HER BROTHER TO JOIN HER!! Also. I dont believe this claim should be too difficult, its exactly like Callista's, just edited all the personal details.
- Name: Lennon Butler
- Gender: Male
- God Parent: Demeter
- Current Age: 11
- Mortal Parent: Spencer Butler
- Appearance: Lennon tries to maintain a good appearence, wearing a clean tight fitting t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He keeps his hair brushed, though it's not always neat. In winter months, he'll wear a hoodie. His hair is straight and black in color, and his eyes are a dull green.
Lennon's main appearance
- Personality: Lennon is a very quiet kid, liking to be alone in nature than around people. He can tolerate his aunt and Callista alone. He rarely shows much emotion or interest in anything, and when he does, it's almost uncontrollable. He's rarely seen doing anything else besides walking or sleeping in the great outdoors. If he is doing anything else, it's because his sister (Callista) dragged him there. He loves Callista, and doesn't mind her smothering attitude towards him. Despite being very introverted, he doesn't hesitate when spoken to. He is also very reliable, and would do a lot for the people he is close to. His fatal flaw would be his curiosity, he makes it his job to inspect anything that catches his eye (reason he got lost a lot as a child). Also, even being the older sibling, rarely acts that way as Callista takes charge and protects him.
- History: Spencer Butler was a very handsome and rich man; he lived his life like he ruled the world. He owned a mansion in Arkansas that was about to be choked by the overgrown garden in the back. Spencer used to tend it until he got too busy with work (he was the CEO for an agriculture business that sells farm equipment). He longed to have a pretty garden again, so he put up a ad for hire, looking for someone to tend it for him. For whatever reason, Demeter saw this and took an interest, and went for an interview. Spencer took quick interest into her (for her knowledge of plants and her looks) and had her hired. Spencer found himself trying to stay at home more and more to help her and watch her tend the garden. Even more, she seemed to be at one with the whole garden, and the place came to life in just a few days. He asked about her and her secret to gardening, but she just smiled and called it her “magic”. Spencer fell in love with her, and began to invite her to dinners and such. He was crazy about her, and insisted that she stay as much as possible. She eventually fell in love too, admiring his love for farming and gardening. Spencer made a special dinner in the heart of the garden, and asked her to marry him. She didn't say a word, stood up, and just guided him to a room. You can guess what happened next. They were together, in love, for the next four days- until she disappeared with no explanation. He was heartbroken, and was still crazy about her. He became irresponsible, constantly losing money to gambling and by purchasing alcohol and such. The company eventually got bought by a larger one. He got a letter from Demeter one day, announcing her pregnancy and that he would find her twin babies upstairs. He was shocked. Two little demigod babies and two weapons (a pair of knives and a sword; gifts from Demeter. He cant see through the Mist, so Demeter explained what they were and to keep them safe) and after looking after them for less than a week, he knew he couldn’t care for them- not until he was ready. He called his sister and asked her to raise them until he was back on his feet, and she agreed. He wrote a letter to her explaining everything and who the children were.
- Sunshine, Lennon's aunt, was a person still stuck in the 80's. She was a bit odd, the "hippie" type of person. She had a little organics and antique shop in her big volkswagen van (which also towed an aluminum camper, her house), which she parked in empty lots around the country. (Spencer didn’t want to become attached) She named them Callista (younger by 17 minutes) and Lennon. She raised them like she was: told to live life to fullest and to always stay happy; yet made them aware of how cruel the world can be, so they may be prepared and possibly avoid future heartbreak. Lennon, unlike Callista, was a very chill baby and was mostly content the way he was. The only times he made a fuss was when he was frightened or hurt. Lennon, as he grew older, liked to be "away" more and more, and got himself lost in the woods several times in his life. He was fascinated by nature, and spent most of his time outdoors.
- When he was 10, they had been traveling in the Appalachian Mtns. and were about to head north. They had been sitting outdoors of the camper, which had been parked in an RV resort. They were eating dinner (vegan); when they heard a snarl, and another, became to surround their camp site. Two grizzly-sized hellhounds (hellhounds, im changing it cuz i reread that book and remembered they are like werewolves, and these dont change? Also cuz the book said they cant be harmed by CB, ima have to re read more. Okay ill try not to change much else cuz writing is getting painful here) growled from the shadows. Their aunt began to realize what was happening. Sunshine, knowing their secret from her brothers’ letter, acted quickly started the van, unhooking the camper(to make driving faster). As they got in, they hellhounds ran into the sides of the door, barking. Sunshine jumped in and backed up, then floored the gas and tossed one hellhound back into the woods. She then drove as quickly as possible, hoping to lose them. After three days (their bday passed, now they're 11) they got to the NY state border, living off the vegan snacks in the van and the few gas rests they could take, when the wolves caught up to them while filling the van's tank. Callista screamed as one bit her thigh, ripping off some skin (Callista is outside filling it), alerting Lennon (who was inside the van), and their aunt (she was paying the cashier). Lennon ran out with his sword, (their aunt had told them where they were hidden in the van and told them to carry them around at all times) and swung it against its shoulder. The hellhound turned and snapped at Lennon in anger, who stumbled back. Lennon scrambled back and kept his sword pointed in its direction, but then another hellhound appeared out the shadows (shadow-travel) and bit his shoulder. He cried out, and Callista, hearing him, tried to run to his aid. The first hellhound turned its attention to her, blocking her path to Lennon. Callista then backed away, until she was tapped on the shoulder. Her aunt was holding a box of matches, that she had stolen from inside. Callista then snatched the box, ran to the gas pump, and poured it the hellhounds as much as possible. She lit a match then threw it on it, but it did nothing. Callista screamed as it jumped on her chest, breaking a couple ribs and burning her a bit from the fire. She closed her eyes in pain and stuck one knife into its side, and her other above its shoulder. Lennon, still in the other hellhound’s jaw, screamed as it was slowly dragging him away. Callista, after the hound turned to dust, got up and ran to it, kicking it in the nose. It let go of Lennon, but growled and launched at her, scratching her with its nails (or are they claws? I dont remember for dogs) on her chest. Stepping back, she gritted her teeth in pain. Lennon, now standing, launched himself on its back. Before he could stab it, it threw him against the gas station's wall, knocking him out cold. Callista stared in shock, then angrily stabbed and dragged her knife across its back. Howling in pain, began to turn to dust. Sunshine, who had taken shelter inside, came back out and quickly dressed their wounds and put them into the van carefully. She drove again.
- Back on the road, their aunt explained that she was going to take them to a safe place- CHB. Taking reference from the letter, she also explained a bit about her brother’s relationship with the goddess Demeter, and that they were her children. She drove as far as possible and gave them directions to the entrance, just a mile away. The two were reluctant, but their aunt promised to come back for them when they called her; and told her they were ready to defend themselves. She drove off, after promising to keep them updated through email (Callista has her iPod). They nodded, following her instructions, hiked to the Pine Tree and were seen by a nearby camper, who alerted the camp. They have been here three days, and were claimed the first night. Lennon was unconcious for the first few days at CHB, he fainted a few minutes on entering from a concussion he got hitting the gas station wall.
- Possessions/Weapons: Lennon likes to keep his sword and several little knick-knacks he grew fond of: a little rose pin, an antique pocket knife, and his jean-material wallet which is covered in iron-on stitched pictures.
- Likes: His sister, nature, being alone, anything peach flavored, and the smell of rain.
- Dislikes: Being harassed, being indoors, uncomfort and being harmed, and meat.
