Charlie Chaplin - Son of Dionysus
Charles (Charlie) Chaplin was born to Hannah Chaplin and Dionysus under the pseudonym Charles Chaplin Sr. in 1889. Charlie was joined in life by his brother, who was mortal, as he was illegitimate. By the time he was two Dionysus had left, his mother had birthed a child that was taken away, and had then begun her spiral into madness. For the first few years they lived in London deeply in poverty until Charlie was seven and he was discovered by a Satyr named Stan Laurel. The satyr quickly arranged for him to be sent to a "workhouse" (Camp Half-Blood) immediately. He stayed there for two years and began his training. He discovered that his family was in better shape, and as such returned to them for a short while, but eventually they returned to poverty, and he returned to Camp Half-Blood. In 1898, Charles' mother was admitted to the Cain Hill Mental Asylum, and so for awhile he returned to England to help care for her and stayed with his brother Syd under the care of his father Dionysus. This was dangerous however,it was breaking ancient rules after all, and after two months, Syd was sent off to join the navy and Charlie was sent back off to Camp Half-Blood. His ambitions however, were for the theatre, so he arranged with his father to be sent off with the Eight Lancashire Lads. He traveled all over England with them, returning to Camp Half-Blood between tours. It was during this time, in 1900 specifically, that he met his greatest friend and enemy, Adolph Hitler. He and Adolph were quick friends at Camp Half-Blood. They spent much time together, trained together, became almost brothers. However, shortly before the outbreak of World War 1, the oracle said a prophecy saying that Adolph would do incredibly evil things, and send the world into chaos. Hitler was distraught and returned to Germany breaking contact with everyone from Camp Half-Blood including Charlie. As for Charlie, his life continued the way it had been before. He moved from troupe to troupe, always returning to Camp Half-Blood from time to time, his career growing and growing, until September 28th, 1926, when he was visited by Hitler once again. This is where the story begins, so I shall let it explain from there.

Adolph Hitler - Son of Hades
Adolph Hitler's story begins before him with his mother Klara Pölzl. She was a great human being hard-working, beautiful, nice, and many other grand qualities which I won't list because it would take quite a long time. Hades fell in love with her because of these things, but she rejected him because she feared death and she married Alois Hitler. As you can probably guess, this didn't please Hades at all, so since he couldn't bring himself to kill her, nor her husband as that wouldn't help his cause, he killed her first three children. After the death of her third child Otto, Klara couldn't take it, so she made a deal with Hades. If she bore a son to him, he would stop killing her children in the future. This child that she bore was Adolph Hitler. He was followed by a healthy girl and quite later a boy Edmund. As a child Adolph didn't agree at all with his "father" Alois Hitler. The two would argue constantly, and never really developed a bond. The breaking point, however, was when Adolph's baby brother Edmund died. Hitler became more moody, more morose, and more disobedient. Eventually Alois had had enough and sent him to the Realschule in Linz, but Hades arranged for Adolph to go to Camp Half-Blood instead. During that time he made friends with Charlie Chaplin, as explained above. Much like Charlie, he was between Germany and Camp Half-Blood throughout most of his life. This changed when the Oracle issued a prophecy about the things he would do, and he returned to Germany permanentely, cutting off connection to everyone he knew. After that he served as a soldier in World War 1, getting injured a couple times, and setting up his German Nationalist views. The story picks up in 1926 after he has just been released from prison after a coup he launched.
