Artume Hunt,
Scion of Artemis
Birth
Dora Hunt was a police officer in St. Louis. She was also a favorite of Artemis. Unknown to Dora, the goddess frequently looked in on her and even flirted with her from time to time in her favorite bar. But Dora also had caught the attention of Zeus.
Despite the fact that he knew that she was a favorite of Artemis and that she was also a lesbian did not deter the God of the Thunderbolts. In fact, because he couldn’t have her, he wanted her more. Not able to contain himself any longer, Zeus appeared before Dora and all his glory and she as a mortal could not resist him.
Artemis was furious at her father when she learned of his indiscretion. She confronting him, and Zeus, not wanted to anger Hera and genuinely wanting to appease his daughter, agreed to Artemis’ terms. The children would be adopted by Artemis once they were of age.
Meanwhile, Dora gave birth to twin girls. Not wanting to put them up for adoption and not wanting them to live with her parents (who did not approve of her lifestyle), she gave them to her aunt and uncle to be raised. The girls moved to Crescent City, California, on the edge of the great Redwood Forests. Aunt Julia and Uncle John ran a small jewelry business, based on Julia’s creations.
Early Years
From an early age, it was apparent that sisters were prodigies. Exceptionally beautiful and able to master things very quickly.
By age 3, both girls were musical prodigies. Artume specialized in the harp. ( free dot in Art )
By age 5, the sisters had shown such great mastery of archery, that a world-renowned Olympic coach began training them for the Olympics. ( free dot in Marksmanship )
In the Wild
But by the age of 12, the sisters ran away from home to live in the wild. Moving from place to place they hunted and survived alone for 2 years. (free dot in Survival )
During this time, Artume learned many skills. Skiing, Model Making, Computer Skills, Negotiation and Diplomacy, mountaineering and hunting. (free dot in whatever fits with these )
At age 14, both sisters were discovered by an international intelligence cell, specializing in locating and capturing high profile targets. The girls became famous among certain circles as child prodigy hunters and operatives. (free dot in Investigation )
But a year later, Artume split from the group after her sister, Cynthia (Sin), murdered the son of the Turkish president.
For two years, Artume worked on her own as a freelance operative.
At age 17, Artume took a Mediterranean cruise with her lover. The cruise ship was hijacked by mercenaries hired to kidnap her. They took her to a deserted island and left her for dead.
Artume survived alone on the island for five years, honing her survival skills and becoming one with nature.
Adult Life
At age 22, she was rescued and left the island, using her bank accounts to finance her traveling the world. She eventually settled in Bolivia, where she began practicing medicine, treating the poor and needy. She begins working with a local church which pays for formal medical education.

At age 23, she saved the life of young millionaire Donnie Rhodes. Later she would learn that he was a Scion of Aphrodite. The reckless, scoundrel always nursed hate in his heart, yet remained protective of Arume ever since.
At age 24, Artume becomes a Rebel leader and succeeds in overthrowing the corrupt Bolivian government. Afterwards she becomes a “power-behind-the-throne” and helps rebuild the country. (free dot in Politics )
But, at age 28, she encounters two men who change everything. One, she learns years later is Kalfu, the Haitian God of Evil Spirits. The other, his son Calvin Fell. These two men start a chain of events and destruction that lead to downfall of the new government. Many die and disease is rampant. In the end, Fell leaves Bolivia with what he came for: an ancient stone tablet that is an Incan Relic. (free dot in Occult )
Artume remains in Bolivia, trying to help rebuild what was destroyed and to help quell a new rebellion.
At age 29, Donnie Rhodes visits again, this time giving Artume an Incan bracelet. A relic of Tlaloc. ( Relic gives Sky Purview )
At age 29, Artemis visits Arume. She offers to adopt her as her own and asks her to take up her cause and hunt the Titans and their spawn.
