Appearance(a picture, if you don't have one you could give a description or just leave it blank):

Spoiler:

Eye color: Blue
Hair(color, length, style, etc.): Medium length sandy brown hair
Height: 5 feet and 6 inches tall
Body type(tall, skinny, fat, etc.): Rather thin and very weak looking but he has muscles below the skin that are hardened and built enough to allow easy handling of weapons.

Distinct markings(freckles? Scars? Birthmarks? Etc.): Freckles dusted across his nose and on his cheeks

Personality(Are they angry, nice, friendly, unique, violent?): Dallas is a very calm person that is normally trying to get along with everyone. He believes that if he can fit in with others then the world will be better. Yet, Dallas is a shy guy with almost no ability to talk to girls. This makes him the object of ridicule and that makes him angry. Even though he will get angry, Dallas holds it in until he explodes on someone and usually will hurt them.
Style(This is optional:try http://polyvore.com/ to make it):

Powers**: Dallas, being a young child of Hades, hasn't developed his powers fully. Right now, he can shadow-travel from the Camp to Hades, but only twice a day, and only from Camp and back. He can also raise skeletal armies to aid him in battle. This power is limited since he just learned his powers and hasn't actually fought much. Right now, Dallas can raise two skeletal warriors that can last up to 5 minutes each or until the fight is over. Dallas plans on discovering if he can do anything else or if these powers grow stronger. (I'll PM an admin when I think of something for that last part.)

Fatal Flaw*: Dallas's fatal flaw is his constant inability to express his feelings. Since he holds in his anger, there is the fact that he is very impulsive when he does express his emotions.
Flaws*(2 other random flaws, like sucks at vollyball, is afraid of cats, etc.): Dallas can't control any archery skills since his muscle tone isn't as well built in that aspect. He is a very poor swimmer

Weapon(s): ((Twins for the first image and one for the second))

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Pets: A sabertooth cat named Blade
Talents/Skills: Sword play and running, hand to hand fighting

RP Example*: Dallas grinned in his own mind as he thought of what he was going to say. In front of him was the cutest blond that he had ever seen, and she was in his class. Man if his brothers knew about her, they would probably pass out from surprise. Yet Dallas still had to get her attention. "Dallas, can I borrow a pencil, mine broke?" The girl turned to look at Dallas and immediately his mind went blank and his mouth went dry. All of his plans that had been forming for the past two hours went away and all he could do was stammer and look stupid. Yet that seemed to make the girl smile and then she spoke again. "I'm Melody Smith, and I can tell that I took you by surprise. Would you like to go to the movies or something?" That was when Dallas felt his face flush a deep red and he finally found words to say. "Yeah, I guess...maybe." Melody giggled and then grabbed the spare pencil that was on the side of Dallas' desk. "I'll see you at 6 tonight then."

Biography*: Dallas was born in Venice, Italy around the time of an uprising that was breaking out. It was strange since there was no mention of it in the news, but that didn't matter to the people who lived in the area where the fighting was strongest. So, Sylvia took her newborn son and they fled to the United States, where they were left in poverty since Dallas' mother couldn't find a job except for the occasional day at the Italian restaurant where she had to clean the kitchen for less than minimum wage. Dallas, a young child in the city of New York, was always being made fun of and that made him less than happy. Since he was 5, Dallas had noticed that everyone hated him and so he started trying to be like everyone that was cool or popular. It was when Dallas was 8 years old that he was first beat up and kicked around by a group of older middle school boys. This was for being a poor kid who wore only the cheapest clothes that he could find and never being in any sports. That day, Dallas had gone home and found his mother with red eyes saying that they had three days to move or the landlord would kick them out. That was also the day that Dallas first reached his true anger. Yet, he didn't do anything at the time.

The next day, Dallas met Melody, a new girl in his class, who had asked him for a pencil. That moment had shocked Dallas because he had been one of the few guys who could never talk to a girl without stumbling over his own feet and ending up making the girl hate him. Yet, the encounter had been so sudden that Dallas was taken back when Melody had giggled and asked him to a movie. Needless to say, the 8 year old boy said yes and the moment ended when Melody told him she would see him that night. It was around lunch time when Melody giggled and ran up to Dallas. She kissed him on the cheek and Dallas had seen the group of middle school boys just then. Yet, the girl didn't see the shock when the guys started jeering at him. It was when Melody walked away and Dallas had made it through all of lunch without any issues from the older boys that he was confronted by them. Dallas had been walking toward the outside door with his class when the older boys cornered him and started laughing. The oldest had asked him how he was going to pay for the date with Melody and then the group of boys started to laugh. It was almost immediately that Dallas snapped and swung his fist at the oldest boy and was shocked to find that he connected with a solid right cross to the boy's jaw. Yet his joy didn't last long when he was beat up by the boys.

If it hadn't been for Melody running up to the group and stopping the fight, Dallas would have been injured more than he had been. After school, Dallas realized that the boys had been correct and that led to him walking the streets and pick pocketing pedestrians. When he was doing this, Dallas had come upon a teenager who was wearing some strange clothing that sparkled and the kid grabbed Dallas and hauled him up to eye level. Dallas was able to escape the teenager when he had been set back down, but the young child of Hades knew that stealing wasn't for him. When Dallas made it back to his house, it was about 5 and he had an hour before his date with Melody. So, the boy counted his money and came to a total of 25 dollars. It was shameful but Dallas had grinned and showered quickly. That night had been a great night and it ended with Melody agreeing to be Dallas' girlfriend.

Their relationship was a great and uneventful relationship that lasted for years to come. The only thing that wasn't uneventful was Dallas' regular life. He had learned that he wasn't normal and that something drew creatures of myth to him. Yet, being 10 didn't draw reason for him to believe that he was a demigod, for that was unreasonable. What convinced Dallas that he was truly not normal was the death of him mom and the attack on him and Melody when they were 12 years old. Dallas had lost his mom 3 months before the attack and had been living with one of his friends who was gone for a couple weeks. Him and Melody were now a solid couple and they had gone to the Central Park for a walk and a picnic without realizing that Dallas was drawing the attention of a particularly nasty monster, the Minotaur. Yet, when the Minotaur attacked them, a strange cat appeared and charged the half man and half bull. That was what made it obvious that there was something strange. Yet, Melody and Dallas had by then fled to a safer distance and watched as the monster disintegrated to dust.

Dallas spoke to some friends that had randomly started school with them and found out that the Greek myths were real. And that Dallas was in fact a child of a god, one who could control many powers. Dallas spent an entire four months as a stranger to his own life and started to delve into strange behaviors. Melody was beginning to grow worried but the two continued to be in a relationship, so much so that when her father upset her, Melody cried and went to Dallas. It was three weeks before Dallas turned 13 that he made plans with Melody to run away and they could live on their own instead of being with parents. Melody agreed and her father found out, but before he could find out, Dallas had gotten into another fight with a monster and had been forced to flee to Camp Half-Blood, without Melody.

Other Notes:

Okay, in my idea of his powers, he can do this.

Shadow travel : He can travel from CHB to Hades or back to CHB but only twice. The powers drain him a quarter of his full strength for both times and he has to wait 24 hours after the second time to use this power again.

Undead Soldiers : Dallas can raise the soldiers to aid him but he can only do this every 8 hours. With that said, he can only raise two soldiers and they will serve him for a total of 5 minutes each. At this point, the power will drain him to the point where he is winded and can't fight but for a few weak and slow attacks.

If he uses both of these powers to the max, then he will need to sleep. Yet, Dallas is still young and I was unsure of if I would talk to you or Liz about maybe increasing his powers somehow.
