Maxwell Adelaide Arcuturus

Daughter of Hades


[Independent Greek Mythology/Percy Jackson and the Olympians OC. Panfandom interaction welcome.]

[Note: Max’s history and abilities are largely based on the Percy Jackson canon.]

Name: Maxwell Arcturus

Age: 21

Sex: Female [Most of the time.]

Sexuality: Demisexual

Max is one of two living demi-god children of the Greek god Hades. Like most demi-gods, she was unaware of her heritage until she began to come into her more pronounced abilities around the age of 12-13. While most of her kind are a tight-knit community, demi-gods often carry on the grudges of their Godly parent, and as such she is not well received within the community. She is not on speaking terms with her mother and only sees her father once or twice a year, when Persephone is above ground. Due to the threat of the more monstrous Grecian aspects, Max is mostly nomadic, moving from place to place, and befriending a great variety of people. 

Like all demi-gods, Max is highly ADHD and Dyslexic, her natural battle instinct not meshing well with modern society and her mind, hard-wired for Ancient Greek, unable to completely comprehend modern English. She has increased strength and speed, and is proficient in dual blades, her personal weapons All’s End being forged of Stygian Iron from the Underworld. Of the children of the Big Three, however, she is the weakest physically.

Overall, she is an outwardly cheery, though deeply insecure being, not prone to using her abilities outside of combat. 

Umbrakinesis: Control over darkness and shadow for various uses such as solidifying it for attacks and to hide in it.

Shadow travel: Umbragous teleportation.

Necrokinesis: Can raise and control the dead.

Geokinesis: The control of earth on a relatively small scale. This ability is stronger the closer to the Underworld she gets.

Induced Fear: Max gives off a subtle aura of death and fear that dissuade most other demi-gods or anything with aural sensitivity. 

Death Sense: Can sense when mortals are near death. 

And as a minor deity of the Underword, she holds authority over hellhounds and the Furies, thought to a far lesser extent than her father.

Fatal Flaw: Usually the Fatal Flaw of the House of Hades is holding grudges, and Max is no slouch when it comes to that. But her Fatal Flaw is the lesser of Hades’ known flaws. Her Fatal Flaw is that she is convinced that no one can ever truly love her, and anyone who does, doesn’t know her, or will leave her. This is a Flaw that chips away at her no matter how people actually feel about her, and she is unable to escape it.
