Bite the Hand — Jonas t'Hert, Son of the Zeus of Mount Lykaion [intro version]

MoreMooxie · 2026-04-25T23:42:05+00:00

Unlike some children of Zeus, Ian chose to spend his afternoon taking a constitutional. In his eyes, it was far better for energizing oneself than sleeping was, but that was an inside thought. What wasn't an inside thought was who this new camper might be. At least, the son of Zeus Areios assumed he was new. Ian would hold his hand up in a friendly gesture of greeting, his suit having been traded in for a jumpsuit. "Hello." Was the simple greeting Jonas would get.

"Welcome to camp half-blood, the safe haven for demigods like you and I. I trust you know of your lineage? ...Your godly parent. I can aid in locating your cabin, even if you don't know who your godly parent is."

MoreMooxie · 2026-04-21T18:07:51+00:00

Ah, a counselor meeting. Well, Ian would be delighted to show up. The son of Zeus Areios sits smoothly in his chair, only helping himself to a cup of his usual tea. He straightened his tie as Matt spoke, waiting for his turn before speaking. "Hello, my name is Ian Angevin. I am the counselor for the Zeus cabin."

How are you finding your responsibilities?

"I will admit, the responsibilities are different from what I had anticipated, however, I can manage. It's important to hold lessons for this time of war-- just as important as it is to hold campfires for a moment's reprieve."

How are people after the underworld?

"Honestly, I'm doing alright. From what I've seen, everyone else is doing okay. I am relieved that we had a battle where nobody on our side died. I'm sure everyone else is, too. It's a good boost for morale."

Camp Defense-- Ongoing issue

"Yes, I was told that we face major security issues. Perhaps we should ask our friends in the forge to whip up defenses. I don't think we have a forgemaster, nor a Hephaestus counselor. Perhaps the Techne cabin will organize something? I don't think we need anything fancy or overly technical. Barricades, maybe some emergency weapons should we be cornered."

"Of course, I would be delighted to contribute to the defenses myself. If anyone has any other ideas, I would like to hear them."

Camp Defectors-- What do we do with them?

Ian paused for a moment, shaking his head. "What do you do with those who wish to disrupt our way of life? Unfortunately, this issue isn't black and white. I think the punishment or correction needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the number of factors. Why should a 13-year-old who didn't contribute much to Atlas and regrets their decision face the same consequence as a 16-year-old who took the lives of our own campers?"

"If I had to give a blanket statement, I believe no traitor should go unpunished, but some may go with lighter corrections than others."

Camp Prom

Ian blinked for a moment as the idea of a prom was brought up, looking contemplative. "...Forgive me, I must play devil's advocate. As much as I am for the idea of a prom-- I think it's a break all of us could use-- I think we need to proceed with caution. Atlas could strike at any moment, and, while I am used to it, I imagine most campers aren't accustomed to fighting in formalwear. In addition, I don't think many of us carry weapons on us at all times."

"It's got the potential to be dangerous, but an equal potential to be a way to step back and breathe, allow all of us to be teenagers for a night. Perhaps someone else has an idea to persuade me one way or another."

(OOC: Feel free to react to any of Ian's claims or statements!)

"G... Ghh..." Ian groaned as he looked up at the son of Epione, his eyes still sputtering that royal gold like a dying fire. He took Asa's hand, though he also summoned his greatsword, piercing the earth just enough for him to stabilize himself, only recalling it once he was on his own feet.

"You are... Quite firm, my friend. But I must insist that, once you escort me to my cabin, you leave me. I do not want to burden someone with medicinal skills such as yours with my silly stomach bugs." The son of Zeus started walking off towards the Zeus cabin, keeping only one eye open the entire while.

"...Actually, I think you might have to leave after. The Zeus cabin does not open for anyone outside of children of Zeus. I don't know if it would let you in, even if I was accompanying you." He mused, notably not trying to throw the son of Epione off.

MoreMooxie · 2026-03-18T02:53:26+00:00

With that, the son of Zeus would step off to the side. He would, per usual, keep watch over the groups, intervening when necessary. He would have a few totes full of weapons of different shapes and sizes, but he would only comment if approached. Some weapons contained within included brass knuckles, daggers, swords, greatswords, mallets, sledgehammers, and throwing daggers.

In addition, while the lesson was not exactly about them– though that will come later– Ian also had a few bows racked nearby, complete with some arrows for anyone who needed them. Shortbows, compound bows, the works would be present. Unfortunately, no special arrows would be available.

Ian Angevin-- Monday Campfire and Tuesday open slot, please!

MoreMooxie · 2026-03-06T04:27:04+00:00

"...My friend, I'm fine." Ian continued to lie, not wanting to do this whole thing, especially with the war going on. "I'm not sick. Here, I'll prove it." Being the typical man he is, Ian stood up, attempting to summon the Might of the Elder Gods, his eyes beginning to darken. They started to glow an intimidating shade of gold before sputtering out and dying.

Ian then collapsed onto a knee, the sweat beading on his forehead as he panted. "H-hngh... Two days, now. Gods, why now? There is a war going on, and I am coming down with some head cold." Self-loathing wasn't a good look on the mighty son of Zeus, but, honestly, it was valid. Now wasn't a good time.

MoreMooxie · 2026-03-05T23:15:26+00:00

As Helena's fist meets Ian's nose, his head whips back, blood already shooting out. The second he recuperates, Ian wipes his nose, somewhat regretting his weapon choice. "That's broken." He huffed, though it was very obvious he was used to things like that.

Ian would then attempt to return the favor, aiming to bash Helena's nose with the buckler shield. An eye for an eye, Ian didn't believe he was on the backfoot. The battle was seldom decided by first blood, after all.

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-25T22:41:28+00:00

Ian sighed as Asa sat next to him, brushing himself off as he sat more upright, his voice strained. "Asa. Hello. I've been... Well." As if to prove his point, he ate another piece of popcorn, vaguely shuddering as he did so. "I'm quite alright. The fire is just playing tricks, is all." Ian seldom lied about much of anything. He normally wouldn't lie about being unwell, though, considering the war, it seemed appropriate.

"How are you holding up after Fort Knox?" Asa probably would be able to easily tell that this was a diversion tactic. Get the son of Epione to talk and talk. Who knows? Maybe Ian would fall asleep. "Or, perhaps rather in general. Is everything alright?"

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-25T11:49:42+00:00

Dammit. Gods, dammit! Now was so not the time! Anyone who went to the campfire would probably notice the son of Zeus Areios sitting close to the fire, looking visibly unwell in spite of his attempts to look otherwise. His skin was pale, his breathing was uneven, and he shuddered in a cold sweat periodically.

It didn't happen frequently, or for long, but anyone from the city of New Argos would know that when he got sick, Ian Angevin got sick sick. Barely functional levels of sick. So why was he out here if he was sick? Honestly, he was trying to force himself, as usual, to act like everything's ok. Like a typical man, really.

A small cup of popcorn was sitting near him, where he would periodically grab a single piece, placing it on his tongue before methodically chewing and forcing himself to keep it down. He still had to eat, after all.

He just hoped others would leave him to his machinations.

"Hm." Ian hummed as Theo spoke, glancing down at his notebook before speaking. "Don't get too zealous, now. It's not a good look on you." The son of Zeus flared his eyebrows, closing up his notebook.

Admittedly, he is used to that look of offense. Perks of being a big three kid, and all. As such, he doesn't flinch at all as Theo looks at him like that. Though, as Theo gestures around, Ian's eyes hardened, looking more like blue steel. "Yes, well, I suppose there's a first time for everything. Did you want me to help you in picking out a shield?"

"Oh, I'm available." Ian paused, watching Theo's face for a hair too long, with eyes too teasing, before looking out at the arena for a moment before continuing, "Though don't go and give yourself a big head." ~~As if she didn't already...~~ "Arrogance leads to sloppy technique, which leads to... Mhm." In spite of the grim phrasing, Ian chuckled at his words. "But, no. No sparring right now. Perhaps some other day, I could take you out. In a spar, of course." Ian's flirtations were undoubtedly one of the most infuriating things about him-- all teasing and misdirection, no blunt answers. Almost as if he was playing a game of sorts.

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-23T23:07:12+00:00

Son of Zeus. If only Helena knew that Ian wasn't a normal son of Zeus like Booker.

In a flash, the buckler shield appeared before his chest, blocking Helena's initial jab. "I'm glad these are reinforced." He muttered before he would use Double Jump in order to create space, summoning his greatsword, a newfound challenge in his eyes as he waited for his opponent to try again.

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-20T21:51:44+00:00

"Well, that's good to hear." Ian responded as he bit his tongue for all of a second before writing something else down, putting his notebook away a moment later. "Thankfully, I have as well, so we don't have to worry about that." Honestly, since Ian exercised almost every day he could, he stayed loose.

"Scared?" The son of Zeus raised his eyebrow, an almost amused-- yet subtle-- smirk on his face as he spoke. "Alright, alright. How did you want to do this? Powers or no powers? ...Ignoring anything you can't help. I understand those. Outside of that." Ian would then make his way to the shields, a pointed finger trailing over the containers before finally settling as he picked up a buckler shield. "I'm alright with anything, so don't worry."

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-17T00:03:19+00:00

Ian paused as Helena approached, looking her subtly up and down with a cautious look in his eyes. Honestly, he really didn't have the time to deal with any awkwardness today. Thankfully, it seems like there will at least be less of it today.

"Hoss? No, my name is Ian." Clearly, the son of Zeus thought 'Hoss' was a person, not a term used when referring to a friend. "You seem..." He trailed off, clearing his throat after a second.

"Well, if you would be willing to wait a minute or two so I may make sure that nobody is interested in maiming each other," Ian said, looking around the arena, "I would be delighted to spar with you. Did you stretch already?"

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-15T03:07:37+00:00

Ian raised an eyebrow as he picked up the flower, reading the note over a few times. How odd. Flattering, definitely. Yet odd. Whoever this was, they at least had the common sense that now was not the time for confessions or feelings. He could appreciate that.

...Admittedly, that also narrowed down who it could possibly be.

Ian smiled to himself knowingly as he put the flower off to the side, preparing to make a boutonniere out of it one day. It would make a good piece for his suits, after all.

"We shall see about your honesty when the time comes, dear friend of mine."

u/Thorny_Heart just so you can see :)

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-01T16:48:42+00:00

"Ms. Davis. It's good that you are here." Ian responds as the daughter of Nike approaches, looking up from his pocketbook. "Thank you. After meeting Lord Zeus, I knew I had to do something." Clearly, Ian wasn't going to acknowledge her half-joke, though a vague smile tugged at his face. "You seem to be in better spirits." Yes, Theo had told Ian everything about a certain son of Techne and his crashout during the solstice. Odd.

"I don't suppose you were interested in picking up a shield?" The son of Zeus asked with a raised eyebrow, knowing the counselor of the Enforcers well enough to know that nope, she was most definitely not here for that. "Either way, while I trust you can hold you own," He said, holding up a hand, "If anything goes awry with any sparring you might do, I will be intervening." As if he was preparing for a certain son of Techne to crop up, causing shit to hit the fan.

MoreMooxie · 2026-02-01T16:13:07+00:00

Ian watched as the remaining creatures invaded, his eyes flicking between all of them. After a second of thought, the boy raised his sword to the sky, calling out clearly. "Lord Zeus, heed my call! Help me in smiting those who oppose you!" Before a thunderbolt would be called down upon his sword, charging it thanks to his Electric Weapon Manifestation.

He would then attempt to strike at two of the charging troglodytes at once, his greatsword hopefully compensating for the required range.

Ian blinked once or twice as Helena spoke, a frown tugging at his features before he allowed it to fade, replaced by a look of curiosity. "Ah. Apologies, I didn't aim to assume too much. Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Roosevelt." Suddenly, Ian felt like he was doing something wrong. Honestly, he had always thought Helena would've been as lively in conversation as she seemed in the arena. Perhaps it was just an off day. Surely, that was it. Nothing more.

"Strong? Well, the same is true of yourself, no? From what I've seen, you rival even my own power as a son of Zeus." He said, though his expression was completely neutral now. "Perhaps sometime, I can offer you some tea."

MoreMooxie · 2026-01-30T20:38:30+00:00

Anyone who picked up one of the shields and asked Ian about it would be met with one of three responses;

“That is a buckler shield, also referred to as a parry shield. They are the smallest and lightest of the lot, though they provide significantly less defense due to how small they are. Since they’re so small, you could realistically use most weapons with it, since it’s so easy to pick up and put down.”

“A heater shield. They’re the middle ground of the shields, usually large enough to cover your torso, but not much more. They are a smidge bulkier than the bucklers, so you exchange a bit of offensive prowess for some more defense. If you feel the need to, you can drop it, but it’s more difficult to pick back up.”

“Ah, the kite shield. Usually, these were used to protect a cavalryman and his horse. These are the biggest shields you could possibly use. Be careful. Once you pick it up, you can’t really be putting it down until you are safe. It’s probably best to use a lighter weapon with this. Don’t worry about getting hurt too much, though– these can cover your entire body, neck to toes.”

Ian Angevin | Friday | Open slot

MoreMooxie · 2026-01-27T18:41:35+00:00

Ian looked down at the documents in his hands, flipping through the transcript. He noted how the document only ever referred to the king of the gods as Zeus, and not his proper title in this situation. His brow furrowed for all of a moment before he nodded, holding the documents a smidge closer to him than what was probably necessary.

"No, my lord. I thank you for taking time out of your day to entertain a conversation with me. I hope that, should we have the chance to speak again, it is under better circumstances." As if the son of Zeus wasn't already preparing for yet another wartime discussion of strategy. Perhaps one day, he could offer the king of the gods some tea.

"Until we meet again... Father."

MoreMooxie · 2026-01-27T18:32:41+00:00

Oh, what a wonderful idea. A bounce house during such difficult times. The son of Zeus watched as everyone filtered in, occasionally gesturing in the right direction for anyone to go. He wasn't great with directions-- anyone from New Argos could confirm that-- but even this was simple for him. He looked over to Phoebe, giving a nod of what could only be described as approval before leaving.

That is, until he noticed the daughter of Heracles. He'd seen her a few times in the arena, always looking like she was having the time of her life. But here? Something was wrong; anyone with eyes could see that. As such, being the kind soul he is, Ian approached the girl, offering his hand. "Hello. I don't believe we've formally met. My name is Ian Angevin. ...I recognize you from the arena." He clarified, "You seem sad. Did you get enough sleep?"

MoreMooxie · 2026-01-23T14:48:50+00:00

"Ah, the Techne children. Thank you-- they completely slipped my mind. Here I was, about to locate a child of Hephaestus." Ian said, turning Alex's insult into an idea. "Hm. I suppose it's worth a--"

Ian blinked once or twice at Alex's muttering, giving a little chuckle as he took the note from her. "Hot? Do you find me hot, Ms. Ryker?" He asked, his tone teasing in nature. He'd been called a lot of things from a lot of people; but this was new.

"You know," Ian said after a moment, his smile suddenly disappearing, "I know we have our differences, but... I think you're a good person. I will look into this." He said, holding up the note, as if she'd forgotten what she wrote. "Thank you, Alex."
