Octavian⁷

The war against Gaea is over.
Giants and gods fought a battle that would decide the fate of the world, and both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter fought side by side to achieve a victory that seemed impossible. However, the war left deep scars; the world has grown darker. The demigods still fight for their lives.

Camp Jupiter is home to Roman demigods and the main stronghold of ancient Roman lore. Unlike Camp Half-Blood, here everything revolves around duty, discipline, and teamwork. Life is meticulously organized under the structure of the XII Fulminata Legion, where each member has a specific role and must prove their worth through effort, obedience, and service.

Enormous stone walls surround the camp, protecting it from monsters and external threats. Inside lie vast training fields where legionaries practice sword, spear, and bow combat, as well as military formations. Nearby are the barracks of the five cohorts, built in an architectural style inspired by ancient Rome, with marble columns, open courtyards, and banners waving in the wind.

In the center of the camp stands the principia, the building where officers meet and make the most important decisions for the legion. Not far away are the Senate of New Rome and the temples dedicated to the Olympian gods under their Roman names. The Temple of Jupiter dominates the landscape from atop a hill, and is one of the most sacred places for ceremonies, oaths, and auguries.

Beyond the walls lies New Rome, a city where demigods can lead relatively normal lives. Its cobbled streets, villas, forums, gardens, and markets allow legionaries to envision a future after battle. Veterans, families, and descendants of heroes live together there, preserving the customs and pride of the ancient Roman Empire.

Each dawn begins with the sound of horns calling the troops to formation. The days are filled with training exercises, strategy classes, patrols, guard duty, sacrifices to the gods, and military assemblies. Discipline is strict, but there is also a strong sense of community.

Camp Half-Blood is a secret sanctuary and training center located on Long Island, New York, designed exclusively to protect and train Greek demigods.
Main features:
Magical Protection: A magical fog (Veil) and borders blessed by the golden fleece keep the place invisible and inaccessible to mortals and monsters.
The Cabins: The camp features cabins dedicated to the twelve Olympian gods (and later to the minor gods), where campers stay according to their divine parent.
Leadership: It is led by Dionysus (the god of wine, punished as director) and Chiron, the wise centaur who acts as director of activities.
Country Life: The demigods train in fencing, archery and combat, as well as competing in the famous game of Capture the Flag and gathering around the campfire at night.

A descendant of Apollo, Octavian grew up at Camp Jupiter, eventually becoming the legion's official augur. Thanks to his ability to interpret omens and his political acumen, he rose rapidly through the cohorts, also becoming centurion of the First Cohort.

Although many doubt the authenticity of his prophecies, no one can deny his talent for influencing people. He aspires to become the absolute leader of Rome and believes that any sacrifice is justifiable if it guarantees the survival and glory of the camp.
His rivalry with the Greek heroes and with those who question his authority ends up making him one of the most controversial figures in the conflict between the two camps.

Octavian is a tall, slender young Roman of about eighteen. He has light blond hair, always neatly combed, piercing blue-gray eyes, and fine features that give him an almost aristocratic appearance. He usually wears the armor of a centurion with a white toga adorned with purple details when participating in official ceremonies.
He almost always carries a small ceremonial knife and several stuffed animals used for divination, something that makes even other legionnaires uncomfortable. His posture is impeccable, and he maintains a calm, superior expression that rarely fades.

Octavian is intelligent, calculating, and extraordinarily ambitious. He always chooses his words carefully to manipulate conversations to his advantage, displaying an almost unsettling calm even under pressure. He firmly believes that Rome must prevail above all else, and he is willing to use deception, blackmail, or propaganda if it means strengthening his position.
He has a sharp tongue and a biting sense of humor, enjoying ridiculing those he considers naive. He usually appears refined and polite in public, although behind that facade he is distrustful, proud, and deeply controlling.
He possesses enormous self-confidence and rarely admits mistakes. He needs to feel in control of every situation, so any challenge to his authority brings out his coldest and most ruthless side.
However, behind all his arrogance lies a young man burdened by the need to prove he deserves the gift of prophecy and the respect of New Rome. The fear of failure and being forgotten fuels many of his decisions. He deeply hates the Greeks, calling them Graecus with contempt. Yet, he can still change.
