» Reference: Wikipedia, Thoi
» Family: { father & mother } Ares & Aphrodite ; { spouse } Psyche
» Played By: Zac Efron
» Human Alias: Leslie Pembrook
» Human Age: 19
» God of...: love and lust (of men)
» Flair: Has a way of swaying a man's passion. When Eros is around, a male will feel their senses heightened in terms of physical contact and emotional sensibility - not to the point of turning them into wibbly women, mind you, but enough to have a bit of an effect. Sort of like nudging open the flood gates.
» Flair Type: Continuous
» Fitting in: Highschool student, junior year despite his age simply because he would probably fail any grade higher and maybe the AM wants to give him a chance. (Besides, don't deny, he would totally thrive on highschool's dramatic relationships.)
» Weakness:
Eros is concerned only with two things: love, lust, and the combination of both. His existence has always been to make one or both of those things occur in ready fashion, and not exactly their consequences thereafter. In fact, he has been known to more-or-less use his ability over those things more-so to his own advantage with pointed ignorance of whether or not they're actually meant to be. Eros is the physical embodiment of emotion of man, resulting in the kind of bullheadedness and stubborn qualities that make it impossible to stop for directions while at the same time having an unsatiable need for attention and a sense of belonging. His ideas are just and not to be challenged, and unless he relinquishes control of a situation it is him that will be calling the shots. He also has little patience for insults, and is quick enough to hurl them back with double the intensity rather than try to accomodate some sort of peace, or simply get back at the insulter by some other means that fully embodies the word "revenge." That said, however, Eros is very fond of those he has affection for - which is mostly everyone before they find one way or another to cross him in some menial way that is flared up by Eros's sense of dramatics - but that is not to say he is exactly the most accomodating. He is more likely to show up at your doorstep and whisk you away than to ask if you'd like to go out, for instance, after all - it's Eros, the God of Love, of course you want to go out with him.
Eros has a bit of an attitude problem that can be conceived as, well, intensely obnoxious. In general, he's a flighty young man who doesn't understand the concept of responsibility and maturity - one, because he's forever young in a sense and two, since when does the art of love and lust lay down to rules and restriction? Both aspects are spontaneous, all-encompassing, and overall blinding. Eros follows wherever his desires may lead him with little regard to how others may react. Well, except maybe his mother and Psyche, simply because he feels enough personal responsibility towards keeping them happy as mothers and wives ought to be, but not to the extent where it pains his sense of freedom so much.
» History:
The story of Eros even beginning at his birth is exceedingly varied. However, this version takes that he is the son of Aphrodite and Ares, born on Aphrodite's birthday in the seafoam much like Aphrodite herself was birthed. He brought unto the world procreation and the love of gods and men, and has much to do with the gods eloping and epic heroes finding their equally epic lovers, though telling them all would take up the entire page (and then some). He doesn't have much place in mythology other than making everyone sleeping with everyone else and overall causing a ruckus, but the only tales there are of his own epic lovestories would be with that of Psyche. As much of a mummy's boy Eros is, Psyche is the woman he fell so deeply in love for that he purposefully went against his mother's wishes to make her fall in love with the most hideous man and instead whisked her away to his secret enclove. Though they fell apart when Psyche looked upon his face despite Eros telling her not to (and then throwing a hussy fit and leaving her), Psyche proceeded to search the world for him and then do all sorts of task for his crazy mother just to be reunited with him. In the end, they got married and had one child - Hedone - and they would continuously be seen together from then on.
Eros is taken from no time, instead being pulled from Olympus during our modern times when he was beginning to notice others disappearing, so that while he may not exactly talk like a classical Greecian, he still most definitely doesn't know how to work a microwave.
» Personality:
Eros is loud. "Attention whore" is only a small label to stick onto him - as true as it is, it almost can't fully compare to the largeness of how much he needs to be noticed and recognized for his talents. He is, after all, the God of love and lust - in all reality, he's the reason why your mom and dad made you exist, and he deserves all of the credit that comes with it, right down to the private parts working. He's the reason why you have such a hot boyfriend / girlfriend - well, okay, he shares part of that credit with his mom, but still. He's the sole reason why you can get it up for her / him, don't you know? And you better be grateful for all the things he does for you. Without Eros you wouldn't even have a sex life - and that would suck, now wouldn't it? Though really, showing your gratitude is as easy as letting him do what he wants and not arguing with him or trying to prove him wrong - the world is Eros's game to play, and trust him, he totally knows what he's doing (the majority of the time), so just relax and go along for the ride!
But even while he may seem to be a little too expectant and demanding and ridiculous, Eros is - for the most part - happy to love everyone and be sweet on them. He does love everyone and is willing to dote on the kinds of people most would turn their backs on, but it can stretch between being genuine and just on the surface level. The view on the outside remains the same though - for the most part, it appears that Eros hardly discriminates between who to put his affections on, but there's a difference in his own mind between a blind acquaintance and the person he really loves. Those he truly loves he treats with a sort of profound posessiveness that is difficult to hold back on. Love is crazy, blind, restricting, freeing, and when Eros is in love it's very hard for him to not be "that guy" - you know, the one that doesn't let you go out by ourself, is constantly texting you the moment you leave his sight, and expects you to be home by six to cook him dinner and then make sweet lusty moves with him under the sheets.

So, while it's nice and all to see you guys that disappeared ended up being okay, I never exactly said to bring me along for the ride. I was actually definitely comfortable with all that free cloud space, except - okay, I did miss like three of you, especially my Psyche and my mum. Anyway, guys, it was nice with the whole silent invitation and everything and that "Apartment Manager" guy was real cute in trying to give me this weird new name and telling me I have to go to some highschool and I'm not allowed to drink until I'm twenty-one (does this guy not realize who I am? Alcohol is the only thing giving people spark nowadays. Also I'm definitely older than twenty-one years. Whose idea was it to limit drinking to such a age, anyway?), but I'm definitely thinking this place isn't for me.
PSYCHE, WE'RE GOING HOME.
» Sample Roleplay:
Highschool was hilarious. Eros didn't know whether or not to be more amused by the way young people seemed to come together, or by the way they destroyed their relationships in the space of five minutes. Sure, it was most definitely rather sad - no one seemed to take love seriously anymore - but at the same time, Eros couldn't help but find it fascinating. He may not be weilding any arrows by this point, but that didn't stop boys and girls from making out in the middle of the hallway against lockers like they weren't completely surrounded by the rest of the student body or blocking a kid from getting into his things. There seemed to be no rhyme nor reason to it all, and Eros figured that had everything to do with him not being in the position to run things. But, at least, even as a mortal Eros could find ways to be useful in that department, unorthodox or not.
The God of Love's Dating Service is Now Open For Business!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ was plastered across the bulletin boards scattered within the school, and Eros really had to thank his own genius for it. After all, he needed to get people laid - or, at the very least, kissed. A young life without kissing would be most sad, indeed. No wonder New York City was one of the most depressed cities in the world - Eros hadn't been around to run it on the ground level.
That, at least, was going to change fairly quickly. Plus make him some money in the meantime.
