Personal History/Myth: Eros is the Greek god of love and sexual desire in Greek Mythology. Eros is usually depicted as a young winged boy, with his bow and arrows at the ready, to either shoot into the hearts of gods or mortals which would rouse them to desire.
His arrows came in two types: golden with dove feathers which aroused love, or leaden arrows which had owl feathers that caused indifference. Sappho the poet summarized Eros as being bitter sweet, and cruel to his victims, yet he was also charming and very beautiful. Being unscrupulous, and a danger to those around him, Eros would make as much mischief as he possibly could by wounding the hearts of all, but according to one legend he himself fell in love.
This legend tells us that Eros was always at his mothers side assisting her in all her conniving and godly affairs. The legend goes on to say that Aphrodite became jealous of the beauty of a mortal, a beautiful young woman named Psyche. In her fit of jealousy Aphrodite asked Eros to shoot his arrow into the heart of Psyche and make her fall in love with the ugliest man on earth. He agreed to carry out his mothers wishes, but on seeing her beauty Eros fell deeply in love with Psyche himself.
He would visit her every night, but he made himself invisible by telling Psyche not to light her chamber. Psyche fell in love with Eros even though she could not see him, until one night curiosity overcame her. She concealed a lamp and while Eros slept she lit the lamp, revealing the identity of Eros. But a drop of hot oil spilt from the lamp awakening the god. Angered she had seen him Eros fled and the distraught Psyche roamed the earth trying in vain to find her lover. In the end Zeus took pity and reunited them, he also gave his consent for them to marry.
Modern Day
Basics
Name: Evan Lysander
Age: 17
Birthday: May 12
Year: Junior
Job: None yet
Physical
Appearance: For me to try and describe to you Evan’s appearance would do him a great injustice. Though I will be careful not to under do it too much. We’ll start from his most obvious features and work from there. His messy hair is definitely one of his most noticeable. It is a cocoa colored and depending on the time spent in the sun it can grow lighter and contain streaks. Though long and messy in style it works perfectly for him, fitting his overall look together perfectly. It is probably much longer but that goes unseen thanks to the natural curls that form in it.
His eyes are a gorgeous auburn color and are also known for their constant changing. When excited or mischievous mood is upon him, they tend to grow a lighter color where as when he is being serious or upset, they darken almost as if a storm was brewing inside his irises. They are probably his best feature, that and his bewitching smile, which seems to always be contagious.
Evan was blessed with what one would call natural beauty. His skin tone is a nice peach color and tans easily. It’s blemish free and he never has to groom himself all that much. Normal routine is get up, get a shower, wash hair, jump out, dress, and go. His hair dries perfectly and his face is as handsome as always. Though he doesn’t need to, Evan likes to stay in shape. He eats well and works out a bit hence his tight fit body and nice set of abs. His arms aren’t Arnold style muscular but are strong nonetheless.
When it comes to clothing, Evan usually will wear anything. Why? Because everything looks good one him. You could place the boy in a pink tutu and he’d still look his handsome self. Often times he can be seen in a t-shirt and jeans or a tank and jeans. Chucks and sneakers usually cover his feet. Hardly ever are flip flops worn but he will use them at the pool or beach.
Picture:
Mental
Personality: Evan is a very complicated person. Though he may seem pretty simple that is quite the opposite. Actually, his personality is made up of them. I’ll start with the exterior personality. To others Evan comes off as very…conceited, flirtatious, and single minded. He can in fact be all of those things. Describing himself, Evan say confident rather than conceited. He is very strong willed and determined. Giving up or being last isn’t an option. The attractiveness he has is more than aware to him and the boy likes to use that to his advantage when it comes to persuading people. Though he always believes he is right he does know when to verbally let things go. The argument will still be there in the inside but he knows when to back down and bring it up later.
Flirting is definitely one of his favorite pass times. It happens constantly even when he doesn’t mean to. Evan loves the ladies and seems to find himself in their company more than his on gender. Love is definitely something he believes in but he has yet to find it himself. Flirting is good for now though. When flirting he is polite, charming. He doesn’t randomly grope or smack their ass. It’s all playful. As a child he was taught to treat women with respect so he is very much a gentleman, offering to carry their books and holding doors for them.
A passion of his is match making. Yes, you heard me right. Though he seems narrow minded and shallow to most, he is very deep at times and is very passionate about things. Being nosy and getting people together just happens to be one thing he feels deeply about. A nature of mischievousness and stealthy-ness makes this possible most times. Evan is very romantic to say the least. He likes setting up and planning dates even if they appear corny to the masses once you’re with that special person, bonding, connecting it’s amazing. Despite his deep romantic nature, it’s hardly seen in himself. No girl seems to…stand out to him in that way and he rarely bothers creating the perfect date for himself. Why? Because it always ends with them in the sack and nothing more.
Evan is always laughing and smiling, it is very rare to see him upset and when he is, he doesn’t admit it. Only his eyes betray him everytime, growing dark at the hint of sadness or anger, which is why he refuses to look one in the eyes when distressed. Any other time he stares directly into them, helping further his confident attitude as if he is looking through you and into the soul. Evan doesn’t believe you should judge a book by their cover but he often finds himself doing so and tries to limit that. He talks to everyone and flirts with every girl he can though he tends to be seen out with those believed to be exceptionally beautiful.

How do they feel about the rivalry?: Evan finds himself in the middle of the rivalry. He tends to be an agitator, enticing each side and creating mischief.
Sample RP: Mornings…blah. That was all that was running through Evan head as he rolled over. What was the time? He wasn’t sure, but his alarm was sounding across the room and looked as though it was having a seizure. The small cube shaped object emitted a loud annoying repetitive beep as it shook furiously. “d**n alarm,” the boy grumbled opening his eyes to view the hour. 8:21 am. Not too bad, he thought taking a hand through his brunette colored locks. Wait…it was Monday! Evan was definitely late for school. Jumping up and out of bed, he darted to his closet grabbing a random whit tee and a pair of blue jeans from his drawer. Luckily he’d showered the night before!
Evan struggled pulling the jeans on over his black boxers and tripped over his foot, falling back onto his waterbed. Quickly he pulled on his shirt and slid off once more moving to grab his car keys from his dresser. Once they were stuffed in his pocket, Evan darted, through the kitchen lifting a pop tart from the table and grabbing his backpack from the living room. It was only a moment before the young brunette was flying down the street towards the school.
His first class was a simple one, but his second was a must have. Normally he wouldn’t given a nuts but his grades had been dropping like crazy thanks to his match making jobs and thanks to the girl who sat next to him. She was a doll and Evan loved to flirt with her. The two got in trouble sometimes and it had lessened recently, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t see her after class!
Anything Else?: Nope
