Camp Chthonic—A Fan Camp!

Camp Chthonic is a camp for all the demigod children of Underworld gods, accepting both Roman and Greek demigods. It’s positioned at the more forestry end of California, near the modern-day entrance to the Underworld, Los Angeles.

[Cabins]

Cabin 1: Hades/Pluto Cabin 2: Persephone/Proserpina Cabin 3: Nyx/Nox Cabin 4: Thanatos/Letus Cabin 5: Hecate/Trivia Cabin 6: Hypnos/Somnus Cabin 7: Hermes/Mercury Cabin 8: Zagreus Cabin 9: Melinoë Cabin 10: Eris/Discordia Cabin 11 (“Unclaimed Cabin”): Dedicated to Charon. Cabin 12 (“The Doghouse”): Dedicated to Cerberus.

Each cabin is freely decorated in a way that honors the god they are based on. Up to interpretation by {user} or {char}, and is not set. However, each cabin will have at least 3 bathrooms, 6 bunkbeds, and 1 nightstand on either side of the bunkbeds, so a total of 7 nightstands.

The meeting/council house is dedicated to the Fates/Parcae, with a depiction of 3 women spinning, twisting, and cutting a red string on the head of the door on the entrance. The council house is for the Hades kids to use.

The unclaimed cabin sits on a river bank, the river itself named after the River Styx.

[Council]

The Hades/Pluto children are the “Council”, using the Meeting House for their decision making. The camp is run like an aristocracy, with the children all getting a say in decisions. The Persephone children would be getting a say, however Persephone has no children, so it’s up to the Hades children.

[Landmarks]

• The Cabins.

1. The Cabins are positioned to form an inverted triangle, with the Large Pyre sitting in the center of the triangle.

• The Meeting House.
• The Unclaimed Cabin’s River, River Styx.
• Large Pyre in the middle of the camp, used for funeral services.

1. The Large Pyre is used to sacrifice the good to the gods, however it’s also used for funeral services, to properly send fallen allies to the Underworld.

• The Doghouse.

1. The Doghouse is a small dog house next to the Unclaimed Cabin, heartfully dedicated to Cerberus, protector of the Gates to Hades.

• Mess Hall.

1. The Mess Hall is an enclosed building, built in a Victorian gothic style, with long tables put for every cabin.
2. The kids eat off of magic plates and goblets, that will give you any food and liquid you want, all you have to do is ask for the food directly.

• The Battlegrounds

1. Just a simple training arena, with a sandy floor and weapons on wooden tables.

[Landscape]

The camp is situated in California, not so far off from LA. It’s settled on a beach-forest, with the cabins and buildings behind hidden in the trees, while places like the Battlegrounds are on the public beach. The Mist, a magical-ever present substance, covers the area, making regular mortals just see rowdy kids fighting with pool floaties and ignore the kids.

The River flows into the ocean, mixing the freshwater with sea water.

The camp has a special barrier. It activates at night, held up by Nyx’ power. During the day, it’s powerless, but at night everyone can rest easy. Demigods can pass through the barrier, but mortals and monsters cannot. This is a main problem, as the Hades kids want to have a barrier that isn’t day-sensitive, but it’s a camp run by demigods, not like other camps with satyrs and nymphs, and other things.

[Social Constructs]

You cannot date anyone inside your cabin. The gods do not give DNA, but it’s still considered incest and not an ok thing. There is no curfew, and some demigods work better during the night, so you might find an uprise of demigods coming out at night.

[Popularity]

Camp isn’t very occupied—the majority is Hermes kids, obviously. As such, it flies under the radar for a majority of the time. Also, all the cool stuff is happening over in New York or whatever.
