History: Kale Finn was a street magician in New York City making little money, but he was good at what he did. All he did was slight of hand tricks, seemingly like magic. He refused to use props to make things easier. One day he was approached by a small time theater owner whom offered him a steady job performing a magic act. He accepted and that night performed receiving surprising applause. He was approached after the show by a mysterious woman, brown haired and green eyed. She introduced herself as "H" and wanted to be his partner on stage, making it clear she wasn't his assistant. He agreed and the relationship progressed well, eventually growing romantic . Nine months later, H came to Kale with a baby in arms. She was frantic and said she had to leave and that the baby was her son, Asher, his son. With tears in her eyes she said she wish she could stay, but bigger things kept her from staying. She gave him the baby and turned and began to walk away, but stopped and said, "Read up on the Greek myths and gods, you'll recognize one and understand why I have to leave. And...take care of him, he's...different." And with that she disappeared into the night, never seen again.
Growing up was a challenge for Asher, being deaf at a young age was hard. He had to learn sign language which his dad taught him through a book. They didn't have the money to send him to a special school where teacher's could sign, so Asher had to learn to read lips. It was slow going but he eventually got the hang of it.
When he was in his teens, Asher had a rebellious streak that stuck with him. His father had taught him slight of hand at a young age making it easier for him to steal. He only ever stole things they needed, like food and clothes, but it made his father furious. His father's anger made Asher angry as well, leading him to discover his powers. It was a shock to him but he was ecstatic not feeling handicapped. He developed levitation spells first and other abilities came along shortly. He was 12 when that happened and also when the monsters came.
It was in the middle of the night and Asher felt something hard plop onto the pillow he was using, he look over and saw a wicked looking dagger with small green letters that rearranged themselves to read: Sight. He heard boom and a crash come from the the main room of their apartment. He grabbed the dagger and ran into the main room and saw three girls with flaming hair, white skin, red eyes, and one bronze leg and one donkey leg, what he later found out where empousai. They had his father cornered sending rage through Asher's veins. They hadn't noticed him yet, so he cast a basic protective spell he had learned a few weeks ago on himself, and snuck up and stabbed one in the back with the dagger. She screeched and exploded into golden dust. The other two turned and racked their claws across his chest, throwing him backwards. He landed on the floor and looked at his chest, shirt cut but not bleeding underneath. The spell worked. As one tried to pounce on him, he rolled to the side and stabbed it whole it hit the floor where he was, exploding into golden dust. The last ran for the door and Asher ran after. His father yelled, "Asher, let it go!" But Asher couldn't see his face to read his lips. He threw up his hand in the direction of the doorway, creating a light glowing barrier, stopping the monster. He threw his dagger with surprising precision, connecting with the monster between the shoulder blades. It exploded into golden dust and his dagger fell to the ground. He walked over to it and picked up the dagger and turned to his father, who said, "It's about time I should get you to safety."
Asher and his father left that night on foot to Camp Half-Blood, not incredibly far from where they lived, about 80 miles. It took them about 3 days to make all the way to Camp, which in the three days they were attacked by a hellhound and a cyclops and which Asher fought off using what little experience he had. While fighting off the cyclops, he broke 3 ribs and his left forearm. This is when he learns to use a very basic healing spell (not even the best one he can do now) to sooth the pain. After those attacks, he made it safely to Camp.
Years at camp: He has been at camp now for 6 years, coming and going as he pleases, without permission to leave of course.
Camper Type: Year-rounder
