Benedict Olividotti 'Ben'

Submitted by: ArticleArtemis
Basics

Name: Benedict Olividotti 'Ben'
[Well, the proper notation(?) would be: Benedict "Ben" Olividotti. And I can't find anything for Olividotti. Though, there are results for Olivadotti. Did you mean that?]
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Birthday: December 20

Hair color: Auburn, like dark blood.
[omit the "like dark blood" part because that's a bit relative. And, no offense, a terrible description.]
Eye color: Green

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 120
[once again, I'm assuming pounds]
Other physical descriptions: Ben is thin, usually has a dreamy expression on his face.
Not very muscular, but he has a scar on his back fr Heterosexual om when he failed to save his little sister, Brielle.
[what happened?]
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual

Personality
Positive traits: Ben is soft-heartead.
[expound on this]
He loves open fields, ocean, and horses.
[not a personality trait]
He will protect his loved ones at all costs, even if he can get hurt.
[over-used]
He is imaginative, and good at writing.
[not a personality trait]

Negative traits: Ben can doubt himself.
[expound]
He has struggled with depression in the past, and sometimes he starts feeling depressed again, and that makes him more vulnerable.
[depression makes everyone vulnerable.]
He isn't that great at fighting, but he has a noble and loyal heart to make up for it.
[over-used]

Fears/Phobias: He is afraid of failure.
[JSYK, it's actychiphobia. Please expound on this.]

Fatal Flaw: Bens fatal flaw is holding on to the past.
Ben will dig himself down because of something he did a while back.
[More details please. If you look at camphalfblood.wikia.com (esp. Percy's profile), they cite events or examples of the flaw.]

Family and Background
Godly Parent: Janus
[go on...]
Mortal Parent: Oliver Olividotti
[*head tilt*]
Other relationships:
Deceased sister, Brianne.
His Mom, Olivia.
[You put a dude's name in the mortal parent]
Emi, a child of Hecate, who he journeyed with when he was younger. The two are like brother and sister.
He also has a pet border collie named Lonely. And a Gypsy vanner horse he calls Eclipsio. (He doesn't own her, but he's the stable boy at a equine facility nearby)
[expooouuuund. go look at camphalfblood.wikia.com and how they expound on people's relationships]

Backstory:
Ben was born on December 20th, on a beautiful night in Italy.
[So he's born Italian. His name isn't exactly Italian.]
He grew up in a little apartment house, with his Mom.
His Dad always was 'out for work' and, being only two, he didn't understand.
A few months later, his Dad left a note saying, I have to go, tell him that he's loved and watched over.

His Mom was so devasted that she moved away, because the Italian town reminded her too much of her loved husband.
They moved to Ireland, where his Mom was born and raised.
[Wait. Why'd she move to Italy? If Ben was just born in Italy but neither of his parents were Italian, "Italian" can't be part of his ethnicity.]
They lived in a beautiful town home that provided them with more warmth and comfort than they would ever need.
Ben got permission to use up ['use up' is the wrong term. Simply 'use' will do] an old garage as a workshop, where he enjoyed making things 'new'. [?]
He was homeschooled because his Mom wanted to keep him safe,but after various monster attacks, but after a harpy attack, (his little sister died in it) she sent him to Camp Halfblood.
[I don't think his mom knew that Janus was a god. At least, nothing in the previous paragraphs implied that.]
While he was there, Luke tried to get him to join the Titan army, and gave him a month to decide.
All the anxiety about this led him into depression, and soon he told Chiron and ran away,
[why the fuck would he run away?] remembering that Luke threatened to kill him if he spoke of Kronos.
[I just realized. Janus is a Roman god. Sure, he showed up in Battle of the Labyrinth but he's more likely to have his kids sent to Camp Jupiter.]
He met Emi, on the way, and the two were close companions, that is, until they were separated in a snowstorm.
The next week, he stumbled into New York, depressed, tired, and starving. He had realized that he wasn't finding his friend.
His Dad met him, and gave him a choice,
"Either run back to the Wilderness and Find the girl, or come with me. "
Ben remembered his fatal flaw, and (sadly) went with his Dad,knowing that Eni was most likely dead.
His father, Janus, bought him lunch and a plane ticket.
He explained:
" I am the god of new beginnings, the god of open doorways, and I believe that you need a new beginning, "
The next day he returned to Ireland, promising to return to his Mom with an open heart, ready to embrace the future.

Combat-related questions
Camp: CHB, only at summer.
Weapon of choice: A dagger. He can be quick with it,
[well, you have to be quick with it.]
Other weapons: He will sometimes use a bow.
[why doesn't he use the bow instead? Please explain.]
Powers and Abilities: He is like Annabeth, in a way, he doesn't have 'powers', but he has the personality [which is?] and physical abilities [which are] of his parent.
Some of these he hasn't discovered yet, such as opening a new path. [expound]
So, he is like Janus. [wat]


Comments:
Well, there are a lot of over-used tropes. Backstory was really iffy for me. Your character's not that bad but I don't have that much good to say either. Powers and abilities don't really make sense so please expound on the abilities explain them. If you need a point of comparison (on what I mean by "expounding") you can check the other profiles here (specifically the ones whose final judgments are "Isles of the Blessed"). If you don't want to look at them, check camphalfblood.wikia.com and read the profiles of the main characters.

Final judgement: Fields of Punishment

I think hearing that from her family is a fine proof.
