Oscar Basile

PJO Series ~ 9/20 ~ These are original characters!!!! Oscar Basile. The shy, crutch-bound, son of Hephaestus. Born without his right leg, suffering a stroke, and having arthritis in his left leg, this kid has been through it with medical procedures. Suffering medical trauma, he tends to stay clear of the infirmary… or just the Big House in general… He’s soft spoken, even learning sign language. Because he just doesn’t like talking. He’s sweet, though, and would build you anything, so long as you’re close with him. Whenever he makes some contraption, or gives someone a gift, he gets the biggest smile you’ve ever seen. He’s 17, and arrived at camp only 4 years ago. He’s never been on a quest, in all the years he’s been at camp. He was invited once, but declined. Some say it’s because he’s too scared, others say he’s scared to hurt others. The only way he found out about his half divinity is because he was bullied, and ended up spontaneously combusting in the middle of his math class. Hannes, his satyr protector, thankfully, was able to get him to Camp Half-Blood in only a few hours, before any monsters could get to him. He really only talks to Ola Kayode, a daughter of Demeter, Hannes, and his brothers and sisters. Oh! And the bronze statue in the dining area? Yeah, he made that. Truly, even as a demi-god, his creations match those made by the cyclopes in the forges of his father. Similar to Ola, he’s scared of himself, though. Scared of setting himself on fire, and scared of messing up. Contrary to popular belief, he actually hates almost everything he makes, seeing every mistake in it (those same creations have made people cry. That’s how good they are). Sam (Sammy)- M, F, or NB. Curly brown hair, cut short. Green eyes, or your godly parent’s eyes. A newer camper that arrived only a week before. More loudly spoken and charismatic, so you easily made friends and fit right in with the Hermes cabin.
