Personality:
Jasper Most of the time he can be patient though it is often only with his good friends or those younger than him. With people he isn't on good terms with he struggles with keeping patient but he tries. With people he's close friends with he becomes protective over, with some best friends it's been over protective. Talkative is something that wouldn't be a word to describe Jasper, quiet would be more the word. Though, he is not shy he prefers to stay quiet. When he is comfortable talking a lot around you he can often be annoying. He uses that to his advantage, that is how he keeps the people he isn't on good terms with away. It doesn't always work but a good amount of the time. When it comes to loyalty he stays quite loyal to what matters most to him, because of this he is often known for putting his friend's needs before his own often even putting himself last at the list of what matters to him. At times he can be quite arrogant and a bit obnoxious though he isn't often boastful. He never lets anyone know his doubts for many things often doubting himself that he can be a great hero, he keeps a strong effort to make sure none of his friends or fellow campers know these feelings. Jasper is known for being creative drawing when he is often bored, though his skills in drawing aren't the best he does it because it is fun to him. Once he sets his mind to something opinion wise he never lets anyone try to change his opinion, this makes him quite stubborn. He is quick to snap a defense at someone who offends him or someone important to him often not thinking it through. His fatal flaw is Personal loyalty, for his friends of family member he'd risk anything possibly even his own life if it came to that.
History:
His mother Violet Cohen inherited a farm from her father after he died. She had grown up on the farm and had been getting ready to go states away to college when her father died. Violet had put off going to college claiming she'd go next year. She said that for awhile.Dionysus had happened to meet Jasper's mother when she was selling some of their products from the farm at a small market. Jasper was never really told about how long she knew the god but she described it as that she fell for him quickly though even from the moment of their first meeting she knew he wouldn't be with her for long. She never was upset with that because she understood and accepted that. He had already been gone when she found herself pregnant. That moment she knew Dionysus was the father and she wasn't sure what to do. Once more her plans for college were pushed back again now with the farm to watch and being pregnant she couldn't just pick up and leave. Her sister Rose came out to the farm from her home halfway across the country to help her on the farm once the months till Jasper's birth grew closer. Rose returned to her home four years after he was born, due to her time being there Rose's husband and children came out to help and to see the new baby.
Up until the age of 7 he was home schooled on the farm helping with the small jobs a seven year old could handle. He often spent his time out by where their crops grew. Though when the monsters started finding him their Violet realized her son was like a walking target saying "HEY LOOK HERE I AM VULNERABLE AND DEFENSELESS." Calling her older brother Jacob out there she knew he'd wanted the farm for a long time so she went with what he wanted and gave him the farm. Taking all she had saved from selling their crops and what her family had given her she moved Jasper and herself to New York City. She want to be somewhere she assumed the monsters wouldn't look for him. Though she discovered he wouldn't be entirely safe she decided it was better he was somewhere he could be less of a target. His time in the city he went to three different schools, spending no more than three years at each. The first school he went for three years before a monster found and attacked him causing a lot of chaos for that school. In the next school he'd been more unlucky and only went there for two years. Then the third school for three years. Three years after they had been living in NYC his mother met Austin Cohen a man around his mother's age who had a decent job and put up with Jasper getting in trouble at his schools. Jasper had been lucky for Austin to be quite welcoming of him and friendly acting like a real father to him. Five years since moving to New York he developed his first crush, unlike most of his few friends at the school that were guys, who liked girls, his was on one of his fellow male classmates. He didn't really think much of it till the next year when he really thought about it. In a way he'd known for a bit but it wasn't until his first actual crush he realized he was gay. For him coming out was almost more terrifying than the chaos the monsters caused him. He wasn't sure how to react and he definitely didn't want to cause any fighting between Violet and Austin since they were so newly married and happy. The next year he did finally come out, it was nerve racking and from the lucky good reaction from his mother and step-father he realized he should have come out sooner. He was happy then, though he never ended up winning over his crush he was happy.
He was found by a Satyr who he bumped into at Central Park. Jasper had been walking home from school when he bumped into the Satyr, literally, he knocked into him. It was an interesting meeting but they began talking and the Satyr realized he was a demigod, Jasper still doesn't even know how he knew, but he'd figured it out. Jasper had not been aware of his godly parent until that month. He happened to start spending more time with his new friend when he finally was told of what he was they'd been friends for over half the month. The Satyr decided it was time to talk to Violet and finally told his mother he'd be safer at Camp Half-Blood and his mother reluctantly agreed as much as she didn't like it she knew he'd be safer there. Though, Violet had one condition, for him to contact her anyway he could at least once or twice a year. At that time she realized it was time to tell Austin, it had been hard to explain especially since Jasper had just been figuring everything out himself. He'd been lucky enough for Austin to not think they were crazy.
When he got to camp he had been quite surprised with everything. Thought what most surprised him was that his father, Dionysus or as he was called at camp Mr.D was the camp director.
Weapons: When it comes to fighting he is good with a sword. The mist makes it appear as a baseball bat when it isn't in it's sheath.
Abilities:
Chlorokinesis: Control over and manipulation of plants
-Able to control plants like grape and strawberry vines. This and Chlorokines is his stronger ability it doesn't really drain him of energy so he can use it more loosely.
-Capable of causing or curing madness. This isn't his strong ability he has hardly any of it but if he really tried he could but he'd be exhausted afterwards and would need rest. He does not use this unless necessary, which isn't often.
