Cory Jason

[River53]

Name: Cory Jason

Meaning: God's (or in this case gods) peace

type: Demigod

God parent: Nyx (Goddess of Night) and Uranus (Kronos' father, it's a long story) [Also related to Apollo, and Hephaestus in legacies really far back]

Mortal Parent: Zach Jason (So he was told)

age: 15

Appearance: A long haired blonde boy with normal, with, now, a Greek tan, and strange navy blue eyes. He's about 6ft, maybe just short of it. He used to always wear is famous gray hoodie, but now, he wears whatever hoodie he comes by. (he looks like a older version of the picture)

Personality: He is quiet, but very smart, and can be outgoing around his friends. He's not the best at making friends, however, and he seems to be always picking fights. His mother, Nyx isn't liked very much by Zeus or Poseidon, and most the time its the same case for Cory and the two Big Three's kids. He's a sweet talker to the girl he likes, but doesn't care much for the pretty boy guys, and the famous or popular kids.

Abilities: He is a sharpshooter, weather it be guns, or bows, he gets a bull's eye; he's also great at altering the shadows to this will.

Strenghths: seeing during the night, bows, camoflage, shadow traveling

weaknesses: swimming, flying in airplanes, underground (unless it has shadows being casted)

Loves: the moon and star light, the Underworld

Hates: really bright places, cloudless places, the ocean, the sky

Background: (This is the background he gave to many people, but it's not his real story. I'll update it soon...hopefully)
He had a pretty sucky life, and 7th grade was the closest to normal...how ironic? He started to feel tired during the day, and started falling asleep. It was because he was the son of the goddess of night that he was sleeping during the day...luckily his "father" explained to him everything before anything bad could happen. He also explained that all his teachers where greek minor gods, friends of Nyx, that were trying to protect him, so he could have a normal life. During a field trip one of the subs pulled him aside and asked him something and she tried kill him, but using his new found powers, he gave a burst of aura and killed her. His friend Diana Grove, turned out to me a nymph, and his best friend Felix Redwood turned out to be a saytr. They found out that three of the chaperones where monsters, a Fury from Hades, a stormspirit from Zeus's minor godlings (the one he killed), and a small cyclops from Poseidon. They got out of there and got Mr. Jason, who in reality was a Mist seeing mortal. At camp, after Mr. Jason left, they were attacked by the two remaining monsters Diana, Felix, and Cory got away, but Cory said that he wasn't willing to go to Camp, because after a week he felt he wasn't welcome, and he still isn't. So since then he wandered around the US, his main home being Nyx's Library.
After a while, however, he had come to know River, Aaron, Anabelle, and Nicki. He decided it was time he didn't put himself in great danger. He found out that Zachary Jason is not his real father, so he went to Greece to find out more about everything. He found out everything, and he is using it all to his advantage. He trained there with his father, and he learned many ancient and powerful moves and powers, and took in his father's power. He also learned a lot about Ivy.

True Background Story:

To but it bluntly, Cory's life sucked. His father, Zach Jason, was an addict to many things and it was because of this that Cory ran away. Well that and the people his dad got involved with happened to be monsters. So at the age of 6, Cory left his father and ran around the country, eventually getting help from some run away demigods like himself (though much older (maybe Luke, Thalia, and Annabeth )), even though he didn't know he was a demigod, as he wasn't claimed. They taught him basic fighting skills and offered for him to travel with them. He declined though and went on his way, thanking them for teaching him the stuff he now knew.

By the age of 7, Cory was sought out by the League of Bounty Hunters to be trained by them. He accepted the offer and was trained to fight with many different things: bows, swords, daggers, even Bo staffs. When he was 8, they gave a final assessment to move up to the next level of training. Cory passed with flying colors, taking down a seasoned bounty hunter named Erik Pontius. Due to his hidden skill, the leader of the League, code named Ra, offered to make him a bounty hunter right away. Cory accepted and gained the status of bounty hunter (code name: Link.)

For years Cory hunted down demigods, monsters, even mortals, under the impression that he himself was a mortal with amazing skills. There was one mission that made him quit though, he refused to hunt down and kill his good friend Tiodus, a demigod. So he made a break from the League and went back on the run, now age 11 (only having been a hunter for 3 years). He mostly took shelter around the Western part of the US, sometimes dropping by Camp Jupiter to train with them (he never found it weird that he could enter the camp, he just thought he was a Mist seeing mortal.) Eventually he said his good byes to the campers and started travelling East.

Eventually, monsters and bounty hunters came after him. He had a bounty on his head for leaving the League by running. Because of this he ran into Erik Pontius again, at the age of 12 in New York, who cursed his blades (swords and daggers) until he could face his biggest fear: learning to love. Erik was a mortal, but somehow he acquired dark magical powers and gained the ability to cast curses, but he told Cory it was Zeus who cursed him.
At the same time, Cory was being pursued by a harpy and with this new found blade curse, Cory couldn't even put a scratch on the harpy, who easily took him down. As Cory was waiting for that final blow from the harpy, a guy appeared from nowhere and took it down with one slash. He and a girl helped him into a chariot where he was rightfully claimed as a Son of Nyx. He found out right before he blacked out that it was none other than Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase who had saved him.

Cory trained for about a month at Camp Half-Blood, especially with Percy and Annabeth due to them being the only ones welcoming to him at the time. Not long after getting fully healed, he announced to them that he was going to leave the Camp and train in the Underworld where he could hone in on his new powers and where his mother offered to give him a home in Nyx's Library. They said good bye and told him he was always welcome back.

So Cory trained hard in the Underworld with other children of the Underworld and quickly gained control of some of his powers and found home in the Library by the age of 13. He often did work for the gods and goddesses down there, mostly Hades, whom he grew a strange connection to.

At the age of 14 he met Jerez, River, Aaron, Nicole, Nicki, and best of all, Anabelle. He decided, after gaining a connection with all of them due to the threats from Ivy and Collin, that maybe it was time to stop being such a wanderer. He found love with Anabelle and his curse was broken. Later that year, Cory discovered that Zachary Jason was not really his father when Mr. Jason died at the age of 50 due to the years of substance abuse. Nyx told him to seek help in the origins of the gods.

Now 15, Cory traveled with Aaron to Greece and discovered that Uranus, father to the Titans, was his true father. (Long story short, Cory is still a demigod because Uranus only took over Mr. Jason's body when siring Cory with Nyx.) So Cory trained and unlocked new powers in Greece, also absorbing some of his father's power causing Cory to have very strange, godly abilities that he can only access when close to death or unable to control his emotions.

After returning to America, he spent a few months relaxing with Anabelle and his friends before going back to the Underworld to train for a month. He was in Seattle when he ran into Erik Pontius again. Erik talked about Cory finding his brother or loosing Anabelle, also that there was a bounty on Anabelle's head. So Cory decided to protect Anabelle and they got to Camp Jupiter's borders before running into M the Seer (Marcus Seeker, Son of Erebus), a man Cory had encountered in the Underworld the first time he went down there when he was 12-13. Marcus mortally wounded Cory and went after Anabelle. Cory's abilities from Uranus triggered and he stabbed Marcus with the same blade Marcus had stabbed Cory with. M the Seer vanished and Cory collapsed, the last thing he saw was Aaron and Anabelle before he blacked out. Cory woke up in Camp Jupiter's/New Rome's hospital seeing Anabelle and Aaron alive and well. This is where his story is now.
