could you tell us more about cailos?

yes absolutely

It's very self-indulgent but essentially, Cailos Calliste is a demigod child of Artemis and Callisto (hence why I post him on this blog) I made him kind of as a PJO joke/base character for my own personal project (camp ichor), since I was planning on making some hunter OCs with a friend. The general idea was that they had to keep him out of trouble while he went on various adventures. Then I ended up liking him too much so he got a full google doc Just some little things about him: - one of his nicknames is 'Ruffles' - he was born in Valtetsi, Arcadia but then moved to Yellowstone (probably because Callisto wanted to be closer to Artemis in this scenario) - Cailos is four years old - He currently has three pets: a white bunny, a cuban trogon and a Mudi puppy - His favourite foods are raspberries and strawberry pencils

Notes:

Prussia is obviously inspired by Cardverse

Knights Templar is here instead of the other ex-immortals because I have a soft spot for him (he is literally an angel here, with a shotgun!!!)

I know, natural lions don't exist in Europe, but England (and many other Europeans) use them as their national symbols. I didn't want too many Aslans in the list and I decided that Netherlands (and his siblings) are better off as rabbits, and I can't think of anything else for Iggy, so he's the lion now

I will one day draw this AU because for some reason I'm starting to like [animal]boys and [animal]girls (NOT FURRIES, but ok maybe I'll draw the furry version as well because they exist in Arknights heh. An excuse to practise drawing animals lol)

I guess you COULD use this as a reference for an HP au because PATRONUSES

Ok, I'll admit, I love Eng and Port as a lion and a wyvern because look at this!!!
