[rs=2] | Full name: Ivan Jacob Rhodes Position: Camper Height: 5' 6" Weight: 140 lbs. Personality: Ivan's a sort of awkward, gangly geek. He gets excited pretty easily, especially over science. He's always up to date on the latest advancements and would love nothing more than to talk your ear off about the 'how' of bionic ears, neural implants, any of that. Did you hear how they're diagnosing cancer now? Did you see the newest theory on the origins of the universe? Hey, look what new element they just made who cares that it has no practical application it's awesome. He's that annoying kid in class who will keep asking questions long after everyone else has lost interest, and the one who will correct teachers when they're wrong. It's not that he's trying to show off, it's that they're misinformed and he wants to make sure they know what they're talking about. He's not that shy, thanks to having 6 older brothers, but he can be rather awkward around people he doesn't know. He tries his best to be friendly, he's just always a little nervous that he's boring them or confusing them with what he's saying. He can talk about other things, though, he has his non-science bros. He's more exuberant than most of his friends, more daring and willing to do stupid stunts than most of his friends on the spur of the moment thanks to his ADD. It usually means he'll bite off more than he can chew and ends up getting hurt or blowing up something that wasn't meant to blow up. Immortal parent: Hephaestus Claimed?: Yes Mortal parent: Marsha Rhodes Other relatives: Jeremy Rhodes (older brother) Orion Rhodes (older brother) Sammy Rhodes (older brother) Patrick Rhodes (older brother) Joseph Rhodes (older brother) History: Marsha Rhodes was a military brat, bred and raised. Both her parents were Marines, and when he was old enough her older brother became a Marine, too. When she was eighteen, she joined the Marines, too. She found quickly, though, that the strict structure of military life didn't appeal to her any more in the military than it had at home. After her four year term was up. she left and went to university for engineering, having found she had a certain gift when it came to weapon modifications. After she graduated, she found a job working for a weapons contractor and it was there she met her future husband, Piotr. They were married for about seven years, having one set of twins and one set of triplets in that time. The marriage fell apart, though, as Piotr became jealous of her advancement in the company and the breakthroughs she was making. The divorce wasn't messy, but it wasn't kind, either. She wasn't worried, though, she might have been the single mother of five children, but she had the paycheck to support them all. She began working on sonic weaponry, finding its untapped potential fascinating, and it was while working in this particular area that she caught the eye of a new coworker, Liam. She and Liam hit it off rather well, working late on projects together, discussing theories and the like. It was a surprise to no one when they ended up boning like rabbits. A few weeks later, she told Liam she was pregnant. That's when things got awkward, and Liam revealed that he was Hephaestus, not a good father, and walked out of her life, muttering that one day Ivan should go to Camp Reborn. For the most part life for Ivan was good. Like his brothers he was enrolled in martial arts when he was four, and as the youngest he had plenty of opportunities to learn to defend himself in a practical setting. He's always been a bit of an attention seeker, being not only the youngest son, but the only one without a twin/triplet, as well as the only one without a dad. It wasn't so much that he only had a mom as it was he only had a mom when his brothers all had a dad. He was always rowdy and loud as a kid, the one who accidentally set fire to the couch, the one who destroyed the kitchen trying to make a cake. He was simultaneously praised by his teachers for his intellect and chastised for his rowdy behavior. It got a bit better as he got older, and he was skipped two grades to give him more of a challenge. He enjoyed spending time with his friends, but most of his time was spent in his room, building things, tinkering with toys to modify them, reading his mom's research notes etc. On his thirteenth birthday, he got a letter from 'Liam' explaining who he really was and that he needed to go to Camp Reborn before he put himself and his family in danger. It seemed sketch, but it also aligned with the things he'd been seeing recently, giants with one eye, bros with bull heads, and so Ivan packed up his bag and made his way to Alaska. Once he got there, he wrote a letter to his family explaining what was going on. His brothers, naturally, flipped the hell out wondering how a kid so smart could be so dumb. But their mother knew it was the truth and did her best to assure her remaining sons that their little brother had not been kidnapped by some sordid child slave ring. He was claimed by his father officially at the end of his first month, when he made his Tesla-Gloves, battle gloves that gave of a powerful electric shock. |
