[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



Some have that dark and brooding thing down, and Donovan is definitely one of those. Though for the most part it’s a bit of an act. He does it so that he doesn’t get too close to people. Being the son of Death himself, it’s hard for Grey to get close to anyone. He fears being there when their life is snuffed out. He hates that he can feel that death nearing, and he certainly hates that his father is the one to come collect their souls. Donovan is actually a pretty sensitive soul, it’s hard not to be when you see the end of so many threads, the unraveling of someone’s existence, but he’s also very strong willed and deep down a hopeless romantic. Hopeless being the key word there.

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



A mortuary is always a solemn place but even more so when you grow up in one. Donovan was born to Althea Grey not knowing that he was special. His mother had met a grey eyed, dark haired man one day that really seemed to get her. He was understanding of the fact that she had dealt with death on a daily basis, in fact, he said that he was in the same field as her. They became close and Althea ended up pregnant. They never really had a “true” relationship. He just always came around, would take her out when he could. Did they love one another? Yes. Though being the god of Death, life was not easy. If he was not careful, he could kill her or his son with a mere touch. That was why he knew he had to eventually cut ties, otherwise, he would lose them forever. As it was, he knew their numbers, knew when their time would be up, and unfortunately for Althea, it was when Donovan was eleven years old. It wasn’t a monster attack, wasn’t an illness, it was a drunk driver, and Thanatos had to collect her soul. It broke his heart to take her to the underworld, and even more so to take his son to Camp Halfblood. [break][break]

It was there that he found more out about the powers that he was cursed with as well as that he was rather good with a sword. It was nice to find something he was good at, but he was also known as the "quiet guy in the corner" he just tried to blend in to the background and not really show off or try to be something he knew he was not. Donovan was the opposite of a social butterfly, and he was ok with that. He hated that he could not be near the pegasi without them freaking out, the horses running from him if he came near because he absolutely loved them. He thought they were beautiful but they wanted nothing to do with him. [break][break]

He made his way through camp, staying year round as he no longer had any family and had no where else to go. He had inheritance from his mother to get him through, as well as the sale of the morturary that his father actually helped to ensure was taken care of for him. One of the few times that he could have expected anything from him after his mothers passing. He tried dating a few times over the years, but it felt like any time he got close to someone, it just didn't go his way, so he stayed clear. He was afraid he would hurt someone with his powers or worse that he would feel it if he knew they were going to die soon. It hurt, and he avoided it if he could. [break][break]

The attack was the last straw, so many deaths around him, his father made his way there and asked if Donovan would help him. There were so many campers to take to the underworld and truth be told, Thanatos didn't want his son near the camp anymore. The idea of him going to Camp Jupiter also did not settle well with the god, but he would do what he could for now, and that was keeping Donovan busy. [break][break]

Having to use his power so much was exhausting, and after awhile he just couldn't do it anymore. He found himself stuck, and unfortnately, it was on the wrong side. He was stuck in the Underworld, trying to find his way back but the ferryman would not help him. Even though it was clear that Donovan wasn't dead, he still would not help him, and he couldn't help but think that his father had something to do with it. So now, he's stuck, until he can get enough energy back or figure out another way out.

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



Necroscience: As his father is the God of Peaceful Death, Donovan knows more about death, the dead, the dying and who's going to die next than he is fond of. He hates that he knows these things, and it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable. [break][break]

Invisibility: As his father no longer openly approaches souls directly, and instead chooses to reap them while staying invisible, that ability was passed on to Donovan. Though he can't do it for very long, and it wears him out when he does, it's pretty handy in a fight. [break][break]

Underworld Travel: His father controls the doors of death, and as such, Donovan has the ability to take souls to and from the Underworld. He doesn't enjoy it, but it is possible. His father keeps close eye on it, but when it comes to getting them back out of there, he has to be extremely careful, or he himself has to be the exchange. A soul for a soul if he doesn't use other means to get them out. Now, as he has travelled so much back and forth while helping with the souls from Camp Halfblood, he's currently stuck, but finding his way back out.
