Jake Masterson

Jake Masterson is a Greek Demigod, Son of Hermes and the mortal Carla Masterson. He is going to be a special character, that has his own adventures throughout the time period before the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Series. Jake is noted for his extreme speed and vast knowledge about his own father. He is a special demigod child of Hermes, because he is known to have powers over time, something rare in the children of Hermes.

History
Jake Masterson lived with his mother while he was a child. He grew up pretty much like Luke, having his father drop by once or twice a year leaving gifts for him. He at first thought his father was a famous rock star that had to be on tour 24 seven. Over time, Jake realized that his father wasn't a rock star and was more like a jerk. He began to disrespect his father every time he would appear to him.

Jake didn't have a hard life with a crazy mother, although he felt like his father had abandoned him and his mother and as a result, he didn't trust the man. Hermes slowly became distant, due to his neglection of his responsibilities and as a result, Jake turned to realize his father didn't want him. Jake eventually focused himself on running, something he felt was the only thing he could do in order to stop putting holes in his bedroom walls.

On day during practice, Jake accedently outran everyone in less than two minutes. This caught the attention of every monster in the greater New York area. Jake got chased home by cannibal-like monsters that night. He discribed them to be dogs, but it didn't make anysense.

When he explained what had happened to his mother, she gave him a grave face, almost like he had walked into hell itself. Carla eventually explained to him what had happened that day, when he turned thirteen. Jake realized his built up anger against his father was inapproapiate, but he decided not to ask for forgiveness.

Two weeks after Jake's birthday, he was claimed on the track, as a child of Hermes and was found by a child of Hephaestus, Charles Beckendorf. After this, Jake promised to live at Camp Half-Blood during the summer, to keep his tides with his mother.

Jake trains day and night to make sure his swordsmenship and battle tactics are to perfection. He thinks of the greater good rather than the oppourtunity at hand.

Many people at camp think that Jake is a good guy and would never harm anyone for the sake of injustice, although Jake has thought about taking it against the gods for the neglection that his father put him through. This is later put into another child of Hermes, Luke Castellan, which is the reason why Jake was neglected.
