the history behind camp jupiter
Camp Jupiter is a camp designated to protect and train the children of the Roman gods and their descendants. the entrance can be found in a service tunnel near the main caldecott tunnel in the oakland hills, near san francisco. the existance of camp jupiter was known until the prophecy of the seven where chiron revealed their separation was due to a war between the greeks and the romans in the 1800's, mirroring the mortals american civil war. up until then, the secrecy of each camp was kept to themselves.
The camp is said to be harsher than Camp Half Blood and that the weak do not survive. All Roman campers wear plain purple t-shirts and are tattooed: a series of lines similar to a bar code to signify how many years they have been at the camp, with the initials SPQR (Senatus Populusque Romanus - The Senate and the People of Rome) and the symbol of their godly parent on top.
in addition to demigods, camp jupiter is made up of legacies. legacies are those who are descended from demigods, whether it be a parent, grandparent, and so one. each generation of legacy will be born with less and less power until they are effectively mortal, but do not mistake them for so.
*and in case anybody is thinking it, legacies are not looked down on by demigods, they are just as important. the romans are proud of their heritage, mortal and immortal, no matter how distant the relation is.
the current praetors for camp jupiter are hazel levesque and frank zhang.

every roman demigod starts their journey at the wolf house. where lupa(the immortal roman wolf goddess) determines whether they are worthy or not to recieve her training.
if lupa determines the demigod worthy, she adopts the child as her own cub; training and conditioning them until she deems them worthy enough to be come a roman legionnaire. from there, the demigod will be sent to camp jupiter to join the twelfth legion.
the demigods journey to camp jupiter is done on their own, it is up to them whether they make it or die during the journey.
