History
==Powers One day Melisa Winterson was going through her daily routine before going to work - make a coffee, get a shower, put her make up on and then leave. It was an ordinery Thursday. On her way to work (as a secretary in a office) she remembered she forgot to eat breakfast so she stopped in a near-by fast food resturant and ordered a burger. While getting it she dropped her phone on the floor and while picking it up she bumped into a very attractive man. Melisa was living alone and when she saw how beautiful this man was she blushed and tried to escape the awkward situation "Oh! Sorry i really...sorry!" her face was red like a tomato and even the make up couldn't hide it. "It's okay. I'm Ernest" the man said while offering his hand "Nice to meet you. I'm Melisa" said the young woman. During the next weeks they started seeing each other more and more often at that same resturant. In no time they fell in love and soon Melisa was pregnant. She was hopeing they would live together and be a happy family untill one day her beloved revealed that his name is actually Eros - the god of love and he has to go back to Olympus and leave her. Melisa was shattered. She knew that her small salary will not be enaugh for her and her baby. So when it came time for her to give birth she gave it away for adoption. == Steven's childhood wasn't easey. He grew while moving from one foster home to another. He couldn't make friends easely and when he did - he had to move away because of his rebelious behavior. And the other kids form the homes didn't make ti easy for him - they laughed at him and teased him for his fluent french and tall figure. Always alone,and never having everything he needed.One day when he was 11 an importan looking guy came in Steven's current foster home. He looked around the boys and then walked over to Steven. "Do you want to run away from this place, boy? If you do come with me. It will be lots of fun and you'll be away from those horrible kids who tease you. Later i can even give you a job as a model. I can adopt you and i promise you we will live a happy life" It sounded very tempting and for some reason Steven felt like this guy could be trusted so he said yes. "Wonderful. What's your name now?" "Steven, sir. Steven Winterson" the boy replied. In no time he was out of that horrible place and on the road to his new home. The guy (whose name Steven later found out was Bruno) lived in a huge seaside house on Malibu beach. The house had a lot of rooms - the biggest of which was for Steven. They even had a housekeeper called Constanza. She was like a mother to Steven and he liked her even tho she was a little weird. They really lived a happy life through those 2 years. He really got into modeling but on his birthday on 21st of July something horrbile happened. While looking through the pages of a magizine, his now adoptive father called Steven in his office. "I need to show you something, son" Bruno said and in a mather of seconds his previously handsome face turned dog-like with brown eyes and pointy ears. His hands' nails grew to abnormal size. His skin turned black and sleak - like a seal. The monster tried to attack Steven but he ran towards the living room. The Bruno-monster was fast and quickly flew towards Steven when suddenly he heard Constanza scream his name and throw him a sword. Steven was scared to his bones so he jus swung the sword in every direction untill he hit the black monster. It bursted into dust and disappeard. Constanza came to Steven who didn't knew what was happening and was trembling like a leaf. "Quick!" she said " We don't have much time.I know you're confused honeybun but i'll explain it to you." said Constanza in her latino accent. "I'm sorry i hid this from you so long but it was for your own good. Now it's time you learn the truth before that horrible Telekhine returns" Steven was scared. "You're a demigod, my pepper." "A-a-a de-demi-what? And what's a Telekhine?" Steven mumbled "A demmigod. Your father was a god and your mother - a human. You have to understand that this horrible monster who wanted to kill you was not your father. I sensed him last night which means he's been here for only a few hours. I...I don't know where Bruno is pepper - maybe he's kidnaped or...Anyways quick take this and I'll sent you to a special place for children like you. Don't worry - the people there are gonna help you like they helped me all theese years ago. Now off to the taxi darling." said Constanza as she handed him a small package.

While all of this was happening Steven realised how unpleasantly logical this whole story was. He never knew his parents, he was always an outsider. He didn't wanted to believe it but he had to. He opened the package and found some money and a buisness card with waht looked like a taxi number on it. "Constanza what is all th..." Steven said as he was turning to see his houskeeper but she was gone. He was left alone...again. "What if this thing comes again?" he thought and quickly called the number on the buisness card. No one answered. He was feeling stupid untill after 10 second he saw a vey old New York taxi parked in front of the house. He quickly ran towards it and got into the car. "Where are we going sweetie?" a very old eyeless lady asked him. This surprised him a little bit but it was nothing compared to waht happened literally 2 minutes ago. Steven didn't knew how to answer her question either. He fliped the card and saw Constanza's handwritng 'To camp Half-Blood'. "Uuuuum to camp Half-Blood?" He was very unsure untill a second gray, old, eyeless woman answered him "Right on hunny" and the car dashed through the land. In 10 minutes time the car stopped. "Pay up" a third woman said. He pulled the money out of the package and gave them to the ladies who kicked him out of the car. Having a second to adjust to his suroundings he saw some small buildings and an archway in the distance. As he got close he read "Camp Half-Blood" on the archway. He steped through it in the place he was about to call home from now on. Steven's Bronze Scythe Now, 2 weeks after the incident he's still confused but behind the safe walls of Camp Half-Blood.


 * ====Offensive====


 * Children of Eros can manipulate the thoughts of a person for a short period of time in order to make them able to only think about the person or thing they love or favor most. Once used on a person it becomes ineffective on that person for a moderate amount of time.
 * Children of Eros have the ability to focus an emotional energy beam out of their love, which will burn anything it touches.

Defensive

 * Children of Eros can cause people of the gender they are attracted to, to lose all desire to attack them for a short time (in the case being that they are bisexual or pansexual etc it would be only people with the same gender of their current or most recent partner). Once the child is attracting someone, they cannot attack. So the power is purely defensive.
 * Children of Eros can generate a veil of the emotional energy from the feeling of love, the veil will protect them from damage for a short time, but cannot be used if the child does not have the love to fuel it.

Passive

 * Children of Eros cause anyone of the opposite gender to be, at least slightly, attracted to them, they also attract people of the same gender that consider themselves gay or lesbian.
 * Children of Eros are innately proficient archers.
 * Children of Eros have a partial resistance to charmspeak, charm-touch etc.
 * Children of Eros can detect emotional ties between different people, if they’re lovers, friends etc. and can find out about someone’s previous partners, including: if they had sex, and how long the relationship lasted. They can also easily tell their sexuality and ideal partner, it works better the more emotionally concerned the child of Eros is for the target.

Supplementary

 * Children of Eros can manipulate the feeling of love of people by either removing it or increasing it towards themselves or other people. This is temporary and requires a lot of energy, although using it towards oneself requires less than if it were towards other people. Ex: They can make someone love and admire them, or hate them, or make best friends hate each other, or two enemies feel love for eachother.
 * Children of Eros can infuse emotional love magic into their arrows or any other weapon in their possession, if the weapons hits the intended target, the target will temporarily fall in love with the first object or person they see for a moderate time. After which, the target is immune to further use of it for the rest of the fight. (Note:The Love magic works better when used with arrows though.)
 * Children of Eros can decrease or increase someone’s lust, such as increasing a desire for sexual intercourse or simply wiping it out. An increase in sexual desire can be resisted by sheer willpower and will only last for a short time, this depends on the magnitude of the target’s sexual desire before it was attempted to be altered.
 * Since their father was depicted as a winged god, children of Eros can sprout wings for a short time, this enables them to fly; the longer they maintain this state, the more energy it drains. They must rest between flights and cannot make long distance traveling without resting often. However the wings are vulnerable to injuries and magic; they can also be customized to the user’s preference.
 * ====3 Months After Character is Made====


 * Children of Eros can infuse magic into their grasp, and ‘charm-touch’ another person into doing their will or revealing a secret to them. The person will remain under the control of the charm-touch for a few minutes or until control is relinquished, and the child of Eros must touch the skin of the person they want to affect. ‘Charm-touch’ is considered more powerful and can override charmspeak due to the fact the user must make physical contact with the target.

6 Months After Character is Made

 * Children of Eros are now able to channel their loving emotional energies to construct combative and non-combative objects, formed one at a time and no more than 2 to 3 times the size of the user, which takes on beautiful, magnificent and seemingly harmless appearances depending on the user's preferences. They can also create semi-living constructs under the user’s complete control. However, their ability to use the power, and control the construct, is hindered before or during use when they experience emotions that are like hate or malice. As these emotions are felt, the strength of the object begins to fade, becoming dull and brittle.

9 Months After Character is Made

 * Children of Eros can feed off the love they’ve given or received in their lives and become an embodiment of love. This would make them more powerful, immune to all attacks, enhancing their physical prowess and power over emotional energy they previously possessed. This only lasts for a short time, after which the user will be so exhausted they would lack the ability to even move for some time.

Traits

 * In some cases Children of Eros tend to be fiercely loyal and compassionate to their loved ones, friends, and family. In other cases, they love creating romantic strife. Cheating on partners, seducing others already in relationships etc.
 * Children of Eros tend to be very flirty and attractive, causing them to retain a youthful skin/hair/facial appearance than others after completing puberty.
 * Children of Eros tend to be very mischievous and cunning, often seen making plans to prank or matchmake other campers.
 * Children of Eros typically get along with children of Aphrodite.
