Roswell wasn't one for sword fighting, he just didn't have the sort of courage that came with fighting someone head on. No, he would rather hang back and not fight at all (but he knew that would not always be an option.) Knowing full well that a monster could attack him any time outside of camp, or even in camp if he drifted too close to the words, he wanted some sort of weapon. And so he decided, as a son of Apollo, a bow might be just what he needed.
Name: Marsyas
Appearance: A recurve bow ( ex:here - it's a very Robin Hood style bow xD ) made from cedar wood, a rich golden-red color
Abilities: (I can't think of any, feel free to include one if you've got any good ideas)
Length: 45 inches
Height: (in a bow.. wouldn't this be the same as length? xD)
Weight: 10 pounds
Inactive Form: Silver Bow Charm on his camp necklace

[OOC: Jason {coadmin} has the pictures of the shop keepers and he isn't on right now so I will have to post without a picture of the shop keeper.]
The shop keeper saw the young hero as he entered the shop. A smile lit his face. Welcome to Apollo's Archery Inc. It is quite nice seeing a new face here. Not many campers want a bow. You must be a son of Apollo. Yes..yes..of course you are. I to am a son of Apollo. He laughed. A much older son of Apollo. Ah, lets see that order form shall we? Yes, yes, very nice. This shouldn't take me long at all. Have yourself a seat and I will be back soon enough. The shop keeper took the order form at went back to his workshop.
++++++++++++++++++++++
The shop keeper emerged from his workshop and shuffled up to his younger brother. A smile once again, resting peacefully on his face, he showed him the newly crafted bow. Alrighty then, your order has been filled. This is a fine recurve bow. It said in your order that you wanted me to make an ability for it. It took a little thinking but, I did manage to add an ability to it. If you were up against a target that is, say, on the run, the arrow can follow the target like, in your modern world, a missle. To be able to achieve this ability you must say "zipzap" before firing the arrow. There is, however, a drawback to this ability. After awhile of using it the aim of it will become disrupted and could miss the target, but, no worries. You can still use it without the ability. He handed the bow to his brother along with a reciept of the transaction. Thanks for stopping by, young hero. May the gods be with you. He turned and walked to his workshop. |

Roswell didn't speak much to the shopkeeper. He just nodded politely and smiled at the appropiate times. Yes, he knew how many campers didn't want bows, yes he was a son of Apollo. This shop keeper talked a lot, but at least all he asked was yes or no quetions. Roswell didn't seem nervous, he just wasn't exactly a talker As the shop keeper left to go fashion the bow, Roswell leaned up against the counter, relaxing while he waited.
-x-x-x-
Roswell gratefully took the bow as his brother presented it to him. As he explained the ability he added into it. Roswell's eyes lit up a bit as he looked at the bow, a wide grin on his face. So he had a bow that could fire what was basically a homing arrow. Nice. He looked back up at the shop keeper, the wide grin still on his face. "Thanks." Roswell then began walking off to test it out, shoot a few sticks from his bow before he spent money on arrows.
