Backstory (Optional): Hephaestus was born after the Greek God Hephaestus as they both share similar skills and traits. However when he was born he was dropped off at the outskirts of the Drakensburg Mts. An orphanage center in Madasgascar saw him while fishing and brought him back at age 3. He did not have a name but after he carved a wooden hammer they named him Hephaestus. He was an intelligent baby and knew he was unwanted and what his parents did. Because of that he is a nice person, but is very angry and sad inside. Sometimes when people bring the subject of a parent up, he gets bitter. The orphanage took good care of him. He learned survival skills and had to run a mile everyday, but he loved making things, like weapons and stuff like that. The orphanage found that weird but never interfered because he loved doing it and was good at it. They also thought he would kill them, but he would never because they cared for him. One day, during a storm the orphanage had to get into boats. Hephaestus brought his favorite weapons. His boat was separated and his two other companions drowned. He washed up to the Drakensburg Mts and immediately felt angry and bitter. For his luck it was the day of the reaping. A peacekeeper found him there and got mad and escotred him to the reaping. Hephaestus, sad, angry and mad put his axe in the peacekeepers back. He cried and ran to the reaping. For his rotten, bad luck that day, he was reaped.

Btw, I'm learning about South Africa right now and reading  4ht Percy Jackson book right now and they just met Hephaestus so I just combined them:)
