I Thought I Would Introduce My Other TOH OC, Marley Lancaster. She Studies Oracle And Illusion Magic

I thought I would introduce my other TOH OC, Marley Lancaster. She studies oracle and illusion magic at Hexside, after the basilisk incident and is also going to be Rowan’s girlfriend. I love making OCs. If anyone has some ideas for some backstory for her, please leave it in the comments, I can’t really figure one out right now. 

Thank you for addressing Will’s trauma. Will has been a healer since he was at the oldest, 12, possibly older. Including during The Battle of Manhattan and the Blood of Olympus. He has watched many people die. I really hope that Rick addresses this in the Solangelo book. 

What Will Said:

What Will actually meant: 

“I’ve been seeing more than a hundred patients- campers, friends- die in front of my eyes because I wasn’t able to save them; I’ve encountered so many dead bodies, the few hours of sleep I get are haunted by the faces of dead people and nightmares of drowning in dead bodies. So many of my siblings and friends are dead, and I’m struggling with every second. I’m completely drained, and I’ve seen so many people die that I’ve run out of tears. It didn’t occur to you that maybe a visit from someone who wasn’t dead or severely injured would do at least a little bit to make me feel better? Maybe a small acknowledgement of my existence? Don’t you think I’d like seeing someone who wasn’t in immediate need of medical attention? Of course you didn’t.”

I am not taking any arguments against this, there’s no way someone who’s been stuck in the infirmary, treating over a hundred people on the brink of death– a lot of them dead because he couldn’t save them– can be that chill on the inside. 

TOH Characters Relationships with Rowan (my OC)

Eda - Mother/Daughter relationship since Rowan has lived with her for 4 years. Mid season 2, Eda officially adopted Rowan

King is basically her baby brother, she wants to protect him, but sometimes he ends up protecting her instead

Luz is like an annoying younger sister to Rowan. She gets Luz out of trouble when absolutely needed

Hunter is a protective older brother. That has always been how he is with her, since the two of them grew up together, until Rowan ran away and they didn’t see each other for four years, and even then Hunter was still protective

Willow is one of her good friends. She met Willow when Luz came home followed by Willow and Gus in I was a Teenage Abomination. Although Rowan declined the offer to be on the Flyer Derby team because of personal reasons, they are still good friends

Amity was originally someone who Rowan highly disliked because of how mean she was, but has basically accepted Amity as a part of her extended family now

Gus doesn’t have much of a relationship with her. They’ve talked a few times, finding a common interest in human culture. They may or may not watch human cartoons on a crystal ball sometimes.

Lilith was someone that Rowan tried to avoid at all costs, as the head of the Emperor’s Coven under Belos. But during season 2 their relationship grew into Lilith being someone that Rowan liked to hang out with, and Lilith being her aunt has her looking up to Lilith sometimes

Belos was a manipulative parental figure for so many years in Rowan’s life. She is absolutely terrified of him and is the reason she became so cautious 

Did I edit my ocs as Lumity? Yes. Yes I did.

Hc of jason and nico meeting pre HoO?

thank you for asking this. i hope you wanted something really long, because not only is this really long but it’s also only half coherent.

jason was freshly eleven when he met the ten-year-old nico di angelo. it was early in the morning when he'd heard a centurion of the third cohort mention a disturbance in the forest. it wasn't exactly eavesdropping, he swears. he was just passing by them, when he knew he should've been asleep.

years later, he didn't know why exactly he did it, but he supposed he was young. he wanted to prove himself.

or maybe more accurately, he wanted to break his unearned reputation of being a golden boy. what better way to do that then to do something he wasn't supposed to?

being the dumbass kid he was, he went out alone to the forest, bringing his sword and nothing else. he didn't know what to expect but when he saw a black mass in the forest, sucking up the light like death itself, he was expecting a monster.

then the mass turned around, eyes afraid and hands shaking as they gripped a long black sword. and jason saw that he was just a kid.

before jason could do anything, the boy turned away and disappeared into shadows. freaking out about whether or not he'd just seen a ghost, he ran into the barracks and told the first person he saw. whispers go around fast, and by that afternoon jason hears the theories of who he saw in the forest— a son of pluto.

jason convinces the senate not to send patrols to look for the boy. "You didn't see him, he looked so scared." he'd say. "A patrol would scare him away! I'll look for him myself, every day, I promise!"

he keeps the promise, even when the boy doesn't show up for weeks after that. he keeps it because he knows what it's like to be left confused and alone, forced to fight things you didn't know were real. and he knows it's normal, he knows that's just what happens to demigods, but it doesn't change how much he remembered wanting someone to save him.

he sees the boy again weeks later. and before the boy can run away again he yells after him, "We know what you are!"

the boy freezes, and it looks like jason made it even worse but at least he bought himself time. "No, I mean— you're a demigod right? I am too, we all are here."

jason smiles at him, "do you want me to show you in?"

(actual headcanons following)

jason decides this guy, who's name is nico di angelo, is his best friend now. before bringing him into camp, he felt weird about possibly having another child of the big three around. but when nico confirms the fact three days later, all jason feels is relief.

nico bunks next to jason in the fifth cohort but says he can't pick one to join. he says it's because he can't stay for long, and jason asks why but nico doesn't give him a straight answer. so instead, he takes nico shopping for bedsheets. jason wants to make sure the bunk nico's claimed as his stays his, even when he's gone.

the reputation they build for themselves is incredible. as the only kids of the big three in camp, they're powerful separated but unstoppable together. (this proves for fantastic entertainment when they spar, and a very tough fight for whoever they're going up against if they're a team.)

it's also a worthy mention that not only do they become more powerful when they're fighting together, when they're off the battlegrounds they also get a whole lot stupider. they've got wild spirits, and though they reign it in when they're on their own, they cause shitstorms of trouble when they're together.

(more under the cut)

nico's gone for weeks at a time but every time he comes back jason never gets less excited. he greets him when he arrives and waves him off when he leaves again. that becomes the norm soon— whenever nico's here, you can find jason right next to him.

the senate said nico couldn't stay unless he picked a cohort, and if he picked a cohort he couldn't leave. when he one day comes back with a report from pluto himself explaining why nico has to come and go sometimes, they find a way for him to stay. (they won't hesitate to admit the boy's grown on the community. they wouldn't wanna say goodbye to him either.) and thus, nico was freshly eleven when he's made the ambassador of pluto.

jason isn't allowed to leave camp jupiter, so sometimes nico sneaks him out with shadow travel. the first time they did it, jason actually puked because his twelve-year-old system is a little weak. it was worth it though, because nico bought him his first mcdonalds. jason doesn't think he could ever go back.

that's also how he found out that nico's dad gives him unlimited money to spend on whatever. he realizes nico has zero budgeting skills when he was nearly persuaded to buy a twenty dollar ice cream

when they were both thirteen years old, they were both officially allowed to go on minor quests. on the first one they take, it goes haywire but they meet a little puerto rican girl their age. after a little bit of explaining (and also a little bit of de-escalating, because wow this new demigod is good with a dagger), they find her name is reyna, and they take her back to camp jupiter

jason adopts her immediately, and thus so does nico, because they're a two-in-one deal. they become an iconic trio immediately— some people throw around rumours about love triangles between them, but none of them are ever the same. some say nico and jason argue over reyna's love, some say nico and reyna are fighting for jason's, some say jason and reyna are fighting for nico's.

reyna gets phantom crushes on both of them, mostly out of feeling like she needed to have a crush on them. they're the two people she loves most in the world, so it felt like proper procedure. it fades fast once she realizes they're very clearly in love with each other. she doesn't say anything about it, wanting them to realize on their own. she just hopes it's soon.

by the time nico comes back to camp with a curly-haired daughter of pluto, he's already told jason and reyna of who bianca was. he doesn't answer their looks of concerns for a long time. (but they fucking love hazel. new adoptee)

nico comes back from the war with kronos to be told jason lead the roman army and defeated krios by himself. he flips his shit.

(but he still congratulates jason on the praetorship by taking him on a small trip to gold coast, australia. after battling a monster in public, they appear in the news for allegedly fighting six feral red kangaroos in the street)

jason is diagnosed with ptsd soon after the war. nico finds that he can't bring himself to leave, not when he's one of the only people who know how to calm jason down from a panic attack. he can't leave him, not when jason has never left him.

one of the ways his ptsd manifests is through night terrors. and he doesn't want to ask for help. he's always telling people "there's no shame in asking for help" or "you can ask for help when you need it, we won't judge". yet he can't bring himself to follow his own advice. it's different for him, he often thinks. it's just different.

one day, he gets an especially bad one. it's so bad he almost can't breathe, and it takes him nearly two and a half hours until he's even able to move. when he can feel his legs again, he walks to nico's private quarters.

jason doesn't even have to say anything, and nico is pulling him inside and settling him in his white sheets. the same ones they bought together when they were little, relocated after they'd both moved from barrack bunks.

they don't say anything, but jason quietly asks if nico will hold him. there's something unreadable in his dark brown eyes, but he says yes with such certainty that jason knows he means it.

a few weeks later, jason wakes up in the back of a school bus, holding a pretty girl's hand but not knowing her name. the only thing he remembers is the name nico di angelo.
