The pain can only be culled with a touch of healing, provided by the children of Apollo or healing Nymphs. Regular medicine has no effect.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">History:</span></strong><br/><br/>Duke was born in Hawaii, when his mother, Athena, left Olympus in order to birth him away from the other Gods. At the time where he was born, Demi-Gods were considered dangerous and un-predictable. As such, Athena could not risk her son's discovery. His father was an African fisherman, living in Hawaii to make a living off of the profitable cost and the bountiful sea. In one of Athena's visits to the moral realm, he happened to be the one to ferry her across the ocean in his small boat. Athena saw through the man's personality and soul, and deemed him as a suitable father figure for her future child. Once the maiden Goddess brought Duke into the world, he was given to the Fisherman and instructed to raise the child, for he would be special. As a result Duke was named by his father after Athena left him in his hands.<br/><br/>His father was a kind and gentle man, strong in physique yet simple at heart. He taught him the values of hard-work, and how to work with his hands and get what he wanted out of the world using them. It was evident early on that Duke was quite blessed, as aspects of his mother began to show within him. His memory was exceptional, and it was not simply regarding his school work. He could remember names of people he'd not heard in years, what they looked like, what they smelled like, what their age and birthday was. He was found my Mensa, the society of genius 'dipdips' as his father called them, and was found to have as astonishing IQ 210. Just a few digits beneath the man with the highest IQ at the time, Kim Ung Yong of Nasa. He was only thirteen.<br/><br/>It was quickly realized that this world did not have much to offer Duke. He was the undisputed world Chess champion by the time he was 15, the youngest on record. Ever. He was constantly bored and restless, and his dyslexia was often brushed aside as a side effect of his exceptional memory. His father knew that Duke was far too kind and loved him far too much to leave him alone, an aging man with a hard fishing business that needed strength and youth. So his father did it for him. For days he prayed, and prayed some more for some help from the Gods, begging Athena to take their child somewhere where he would thrive, where the world would not crush him with its mundane weight. His prayers were finally answered, when at Duke's 16th birthday, a certain Centaur came knocking.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Other notes:</span></strong><br/><em>Allergies:</em>None.<br/><em>Full-time or part-time camper?</em>Full-Time.
