Full Name: Henry Nelson Griffin, goes by Griffin.
Age: 17
Description or Playby: He's around 6'2" now, though it's a guess and Griffin really doesn't care. Same goes for his weight, but his guess is something around 180lbs. Griffin aims high, and even with his athletic build he's probably closer to 170-something-pounds. Brown, curly hair, light blue eyes, and a square jaw would be his most pointed out facial features. Here (That's a young Matt Bomer if you need the name for the Playby), would be the most current picture of him.
Olympian Parent: Hermes.
Mortal Parent: Morgan Griffin
Personality: Griffin is an entertainer at heart. Playing jokes and making people smile is his life. That is, of course, when he's not running errands for other counselors or Chiron. He gets bored easily, and when bored he 'thinks too much'. At least that's what Griffin says, so you won't see him sitting around much. Or at all.
Griffin always has a smile playing on his lips. The exception being only when there's a sword in his hand. With his xiphos(Greek sword, pretty cool looking), called Léstés, it's safe to say the jokes will be cut to a minimum. Witty banter against enemies will be as sharp as ever. That doesn't mean he's not totally focused on defeating his opponents though. In fact, besides the snarky remarks during battle, he's like a whole new person when fighting.
History: Up until he was six, Griffin lived in Las Vegas with his mother. Now and then they'd help out some lost kids, and unknown to Griffin at the time they were young Half-Bloods on quests. A week after his sixth birthday, three demi-gods came running into his home with a gorgon on their heels. After a fight, the questing group was one Half-Blood short and Ms. Griffin was practically begging them to take her son to Camp Half-Blood.
So from that day on, Griffin took up a sword and shield and made a decent life at the Hermes cabin. He's one of the best- if not, THE best- sword fighters in camp, and often helps train the campers. If anything, he has seniority and uses that to get stuff done around camp.
Years at camp: About twelve now? Yeah close to twelve.
Year-rounder or summer-only camper?: Year-rounder, someone's got to shovel out the Arena when it snows.
