Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

History
Caroline met Poseidon in Italy at a festival and got into a conversation with him, eventually Poseidon asked her out on a date, and soon she had fallen pregnant with his child, but he had to leave after certain circumstances. In despair, Caroline lived in a cabin in the forest nearby, as her own parents kicked her out. There she gave birth to Lucifer, who soon nicknamed himself 'Luc'. She raised him there by herself and homeschool him. When he was ten, he was attacked by a harpie in the forest but a hiker passing by was a son of Ares and quickly killed it. Knowing he was a demigod he tried to convince his mother to send him to New York but she quickly declined this offer so instead, the hiker gave Luc a celestial bronze sword and whenever he could, Luc practised on a scarecrow in his backyard and was careful not to go out by himself.
On his eleventh birthday he was with his mother learning about the Greek Gods, when two people kicked the door open, the door smashed on the hinges and crashed into the room with guns, they were just robbers, trying to get some money but during the struggle, one of them shot Caroline. Seeing this, Luc bolted out the backdoor and into the forest.
For the next hour Luc wandered the forest, hoping to get away from the men and he still doesn't know if they did follow him, but he was unable to think of what to do now, he was in mourning already, already accepting his mothers death, eventually he found a village but it was at night and some thugs grabbed him off the street and sold him to a slave trading ship where, because he was the smallest, he was picked on frequently. The other children would abuse him and tied him up so he could not get his two meals a day. However this allowed him to realize that their captors had been drugging the food and drink. Soon Luc noticed the other kids going insane. Shortly after they began to go insane the ship ran into a storm and was destroyed and he barely escaped with his life as he had grabbed a piece of driftwood, still thinking that he could drown, and Poseidon sent a few servants to drift him to the coast of Greece, and was far too unconscious to notice them. He was around thirteen at the time. Luc walked inland to find food and collapsed from exhaustion before he was found by a young woman named Jane who took him to her little village. She claimed it was because she had a younger brother and sister about his age and couldn't bear to see him starve to death.
Jane took him in and added him in to her family of four, including her younger twin siblings, Michael and Georgina, and the grandfather. He lived with them for a period of time, he often spent time reading and properly learning how to fight. He was attacked by monsters twice a year, first, when he was fourteen, he found a hellhound on the outskirts of town, he climbed up a small house and managed to throw the sword right into it's mouth, killing it instantly. When he was fifteen, he was attacked by two harpies but he could easily dispatch of them. During this time, he grew to care for them and wanted to find a way - legal or not - to repay them. Later on, Jane fell in love with a man, named Damien, who gave her "nutritional supplements" as the twins were rather sick but they couldn't pay for the medication so she readily accepted into her life, and mixed it in with her food.
Luc strongly advised her "I'll do something about the money, so don't see that guy anymore!" because he didn't trust him or the 'supplements', and even Michael had begun to suspect something. Jane was touched by his kindness but refused, saying that if it was just her then she couldn't protect her family. Jane was later killed by Damien, who murdered her because she let Michael take Georgina's piece of the supplement. After this Luc left the village to start his life of crime without telling anyone why. At one point, Michael went after him to convince him to come back but Luc threatened him and told him to leave.
Despite the bad memories it held, Luc determinedly stayed in their village. Luc's real goal was to get enough money to pay for the grandfather's hospital fees, but he did not tell the twins of this goal, causing many misunderstandings between them. Luc, however, considered it better this way as he would not have to worry about them getting hurt. Luc joined a band of thieves and began to rob corrupted people to pay off hospital bills for Jane's grandfather. He never said if he is really rich, because he definitely gave a large amount to support the sickly old man. Eventually, the grandfather died and not seeing a point to staying he bought a ticket to New York where he was found by a satyr after the first night and was brought to Camp.
Personality
Luc is quite an unhappy person and a bit of a pessimist but tends to look at the situation more on the logical and realistic side than the worst side of things. Though sometimes cautious, he generally goes into everything new head first without even considering what it might bring, as long as he thinks it is the correct thing to do, he'll do it. He is generally calm and nonchalant some people say he is like the sea, though calm, he hides a burning storm inside of him, one that’s just ticking to be let loose. Socially, he is the type of person to calmly watch by the corner of the room at the party but when he wants to he can be the life of the party and people generally enjoy talking to him. He doesn’t really care for things that doesn’t directly affect him, some can say he is quite selfish because of this, but can just as easily kill people who intend the people he care for harm. Though untrustworthy now he use to be trusting to the point of it being ridiculous. He doesn’t care for life, though not waiting for it’s ending, he doesn’t particularly find it the most interesting thing. He is generally a mean person and isn’t generous and needs tobacco to get himself through stressful situations.
Children of Poseidon can fire a powerful blast of water from their hands, equivalent to that of a fire hose, which evaporates after a short time.
Children of Poseidon have the ability to conjure and freeze small amounts of water into durable ice weapons, which can be used for combat; however, only one weapon can be conjured at a time and it cannot be bigger than the one who conjured it. They can also make small non-combative objects out of ice.
Defensive[]
Children of Poseidon can create an area around themselves that inflicts others with intense seasickness, making them dizzy and nauseous for as long as they remain inside. The user must keep their focus on maintaining the effect for the duration.
Children of Poseidon can turn their body to water for a very short time, letting an attack pass harmlessly through them. This can cause extreme dehydration with repeated use.
Passive[]
Children of Poseidon can breathe, are swifter and more powerful, and can heal slightly faster while underwater.
Children of Poseidon can keep themselves and everything they touch dry in the water, unless they choose to become wet.

Children of Poseidon are innately less inhibited by severe wind and precipitation.
Supplementary[]
Children of Poseidon have the ability to create minor earthquakes, large enough to knock anyone nearby off their feet, for a few seconds.
Children of Poseidon are able to telekinetically move water at a high rate. The larger amount of water used, the more energy it drains. This can be used on ice, but is much more difficult and draining.
Children of Poseidon are are able summon a specific horse, pegasus, or sea creature directly to their position, regardless of distance. This only works on creatures that they have a strong personal bond with.

3 Months After Character is Made[]
Children of Poseidon have the ability to create a torrential rainstorm overhead, which will downpour and cause high winds over a large area. The storm will gradually clear over time, and afterward the user would be substantially drained.
6 Months After Character is Made[]
Children of Poseidon are able to shape a semi-living construct out of water, no larger than 3 to 4 times the size of the user, that fights for them for a short time. The user is weakened while the construct is active, and the longer they maintain the it, the more energy it drains.
9 Months After Character is Made[]
Children of Poseidon are able to transform their bodies into a state of pure water for a short time, becoming immune to most attacks. The hydrokinetic abilities they already possess are enhanced by this state, and they are capable of covering great distances in an instant while underwater. The user will be extremely drained once the transformation ends, and could possibly faint.
