Tom "Giggles" Smith

History
Tom Smith was a normal child with a normal childhood, an orphan taken in by a loving family. What he didn't know and had always wondered was who his real parents where. He knew he didn't fit in and his foster father always found it a need to explain this to Tom. Tom is a demigod child, not like any other. He is one of a very distinct few demigods to be born from two godly parents, his parents are minor gods and don't play any distinct part in mythology. Tom's father is Gelos, God of Laughter and his mother is Euphrosyne, goddess of Joy and Mirth. Tom was born at a minor temple dedicated to Euphrosyne and was then placed in the mortal world as Zeus refused to offer the child immortality as he was the spawn of two minor deities. So he was placed among the mortal world until he showed a hint of odd manifestations.

Tom was fifteen when he began working in his high school in Milwaukee as a trainee therapist. He was such an exceptional that people with anxiety and depression etc would enter Tom's room and leave happy and laughing. Tom and other people couldn't understand it, how could a fifteen year old be able to soothe peoples emotions and literally turn their frowns upside down. His guide, Viscount Herbert noticed a yellowy, laugh inducing aura around Tom and decided to confront him. Finally after explaining what he was and how his lifestyle will change. They decided to make a run for it, Viscount Herbert booked the "Supersonic" Express and that was Tom's first experience with a god. The "Supersonic" Express is Hermes' new, top of the line expressway to Half-Blood hill. They battled along the way but got to the Camp safely.
