Theo Bishop

Theodore Bishop is a demigod son of Posiedon and brother of Percy Jackson.

appearance
Theo is roughly the same age; height, and weight. Physically they look almost identical except Theo always has his hair spiked up and his eyes are deeply blue rather than sea green.

His favorite outfit appears to be black pants; a blue waves t-shirt, and a white jacket with the sleeves cut off. Theo is sometimes mistaken for Percy trying to look cool.

Personality
Theo Bishop is full of lies and contradictions. Theo Bishop is a clever; funny, charming, conniving, decietful, manipulative, vicious misogynist. Some of Theo's crushes and ex-girlfriends say he has a "jeckly and hyde" complex because his behavior can change so quickly.

Most of them can't tell if he's a good guy who ocassionally loses his cool and turns psychotic or a clever psychopath whose good at pretending to be nice.

Theodore habitually objectifies women seeing them as valuble mostly as support systems. In his brain they exist simply to serve his wants and needs. You could call him a gender specific sociopath.

Theo sees women as inferior and believes their naturally subserviant paradoxically he is also somewhat paranoid of women and thinks they are untrustworthy.

In contrast to Percy who took forever to hook up with Annabeth but now has a stable relationship with her; Theo is an expert at picking up chicks but his relationships don't last long and tend to end really really badly.

fatal flaws: loyalty
Theo has a bros over hos philosophy and despite his lack of loyalty and empathy towards women he shows incredible loyalty to his male friends and especially to his brother Percy. Theodore's loyalty is one of his few redeeming qualities and unfortunately it will mostly likely be his downfall.

Atticus Bishop: step-father
Atticus Bishop is a deeply disturbed and deeply insecure human being. Atticus tried to project to the world an image of himself as a "father knows best" "leave it to beaver" stereotypical 50's sitcom dad. Atticus had the perfect job; the perfect house, the perfect car, a perfectly beautiful and obedient housewife, and a perfectly well-behaved son who would never dare disobey his father. To Atticus his family were background props who existed to demonstrate his status as a model human being. Outside of his own family everyone really did believe Atticus was perfect.

Atticus controlled his wife and children using violence and intimidation. He also over-medicated his son to try and get rid of his ADHD and encouraged Theo to keep his mouth shut about seeing monsters. Through his words and deeds Atticus passed down his misogyny, his insecurities, and his cruelty down to Theo.

Atticus kicked Theo out of the house when he was 11 after Veronica Bishop was killed by a monster

Theodore Bishop has sworn an oath on the river styx to someday return home; destroy Atticus's car, burn down his house, and finally kill to Atticus. As

Veronica Bishop: mother
Veronica Bishop turned the other cheek and allowed her husband to abuse her but she also turned a blind eye and allowed him to abuse her son. Veronica stayed with Atticus partially because she enjoyed the luxuries that being his wife afforded her and she knew she could never support herself and her son without him. There was also the fact that Veronica loved her husband, even more than she loved her son. She died still believing that Atticus loved her.

If Atticus taught Theo that women are inferior, Veronica taught him that women are untrustworthy without even meaning to.

Percy Jackson: brother
Theo and Percy have a difficult and complex relationship. They don't like each other and each brother thinks the other one is pathetic and impotent.

Theo thinks Percy is whipped and frequently encourages Percy to become more dominant and suggests strategies for showing Annabeth whose boss. Percy thinks Theo's need to assert his domiance over women is a sign of insecurity and Theo's compulsion to lie about his feelings is a sign of cowardice.

In spite of the fact that they don't like each other, Percy and Theo still love each other and each would gladly give his life to protect the other.
