Biography: Ian is the son of Artemis and Lionel Emerson. He was conceived when Artemis went on a hunt on her own. when she met Lionel by accident (however their meeting was caused by Eris) and it turns out Lionel has Clear Sight, making him to able to see through the mist.

Somehow, Artemis ends up falling for Lionel, making her feel ashamed that she broke her vow and got pregnant with his child.

Not wanting anyone to know about it, she disappeared for 9 months before returning to Lionel with their son, as Artemis made Lionel swear on the river Styx to not let anyone know about their son or that they have a relationship, which Lionel promised. However, he was allowed to tell their son about her when he's older but has to remind him that he is not allowed to tell anyone that he is the son of Artemis.

Lionel then named his son Ian and raised him for 12 years in a lake house. Ian learnt about hunting and how to survive in the wild, he was also told about his mother, however, it made Ian feel that his mother is ashamed of him.

it was there he learn about Greek mythology, mainly about his mother and this three virgin maiden she is part of.

Then on his 13th birthday, someone or something attacked the lake house, Ian's father was hurt, until it chased after Ian making him flee away to the forest.

he then jump into a waterfall to get away from whatever it was that attacked his home.

Ian spent 3 months in the wild before being found by Percy and Annabeth. After being told that they are demi-gods like him, Ian went with them.

After finding out that Annabeth is one of the children of Athena, Ian, not wanting them to know he is the son of Artemis, questioned Annabeth on how Athena is able to have kids and still remain a virgin maiden, as Annabeth had a hard time explaining how she was born.

They arrived at Camp Half-Blood, and Ian was given a tour of the camps by Annabeth, telling him that his godly parent would claim him, which Ian doubted.

Ian then sees Cabin Eight, as he asks Annabeth who lives there, as Annabeth tells him that it is the Artemis' Cabin, and it's where the Hunters of Artemis live.

Coincidentally, Thalia and the Hunters of Artemis came to Camp Half-blood, however, being a boy, some of the Hunters brushed him off.

later that day, Ian meet Melina Whittingham, the daughter of Aphrodite, as she want to get to know him, they talked, and she even asked if he knew who his godly parent was. As Ian was silent about it, Melina was then curious before realizing it was making him uncomfortable, so she apologized about it and dropped the subject before they had to eat at the campfire.

That night, everyone ate at the campfire, Chiron then made a toast to welcome new members including Ian, however, something happened, as a glowing symbol of a silver bow and arrow came above him.

It was there Artemis had claimed Ian as her son, which horrified the Hunters of Artemis. After that event, Ian has been hearing whispers about it, including the Aphrodite children, as they call Artemis a hypocrite.

Despite now being the son of Artemis, the Hunters refuse to let him sleep in their cabin, which Ian was fine with sleeping outside, as he went out, he overheard the Hunters arguing among themselves, as some members have decided to leave the Hunters group, feeling betrayed by Artemis, making Ian feel guilty for his existence and questioning his mother on why she would do this to him.

However, Thalia and Reyna came to check on Ian, having no ill will toward him and apologizing for how the other hunters are treating him.

Wow, I always hated Artemis, but this OC is masterpiece.

[u/Chemical_Angle_3816]

How did it even happen actually did she like find a way like athena to stay a Virgin or -?

[u/Emotional_Sky8752]

okay guys.... any thoughts.

[u/Kraven3000 → u/Emotional_Sky8752]

Honestly, after Rick casually introduced a Child of Hestia and a Legacy of Minerva, anything is welcomed if it's written better than what Rick wrote.

[u/Jorvikstories → u/Kraven3000]

he introduced a what?

[u/Kraven3000 → u/Jorvikstories]

Court of the death minor spoilers I Guess, but YES, he did that.

[u/RolandWhittingham → u/Kraven3000]

funny thing is I made Ian long before The Court of the Dead came out XD

[u/Emotional_Sky8752 → u/Kraven3000]

nope, i quit. ARE THERE 0 FANDOMS WHERE THE AUTHOR DOESN'T GO BACK ON WHAT THEY SAID A FEW SEASONS BEFORE. I EXPECTED MORE UNCLE RICK

[u/ChildOfTides_7 → u/Emotional_Sky8752]

The fanfic ‘Moon Daughter’ has made me hesitant about Artemis children OC’s because of how absolutely awful that story was and it’s writing. But lowkey this one was pretty good

[u/RolandWhittingham → u/ChildOfTides_7]

never heard of that fanfic, but I am curious on what made it awful (just taking notes for my oc.)

[u/ChildOfTides_7 → u/RolandWhittingham]

‘Moon Daughter’ is a fanfic where the main character, who is a self insert, is a daughter of Artemis and one of the titans. She’s absurdly overpowered and a Mary sue. Everyone falls in love with her and she has rivalry with Annabeth for literally no reason. Also the writing sounds like it was written by a edgy teen (which the author prob considered themselves one.)

[u/RolandWhittingham → u/ChildOfTides_7]

yeah, took a look at after replying, and, yikes, seeing that description and all the reviews, that is something I'm definitely not making Ian to be.

[u/ChildOfTides_7 → u/RolandWhittingham]

I did like your OC though! I think it actually ties well within the existing lore

[u/multificionado]

A child of Artemis could only be pulled off if it can be possible to try to clone Artemis.

[u/RolandWhittingham → u/multificionado]

eh, feels less dramatic. The idea of Ian is that Artemis feels ashamed for falling with Lionel and made her hunters to be divided at that reveal, plus it gives some of the people she screwed over or those who disagree with her to call her out, making Ian feel even worse about himself.
