“Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.”
Holden is about 19 years old, he didn't age for 6 years so, sometimes he loses track. He's pansexual, very outgoing, kind and wears his heart on his sleeve. Because of this he gets hurt easily. He's currently single and hoping to find someone to date. He also pretty well takes care of Skylar Lune, and even though he isn't the Lt Counsellor, he's well respected and fills in a lot to help Skylar when he's too lazy or tired or drunk.
Personality
So generally speaking prior to a few months ago, he was outgoing, flirty, a typical child of Eros, but after pissing Circe off and getting this curse, so he can't feel physical touch (though to be fair, the not feeling pain has its advantages) he's been a bit frustrated to say the least, as he can't....welll........*wink wink* sure he can try, but not feeling can make it rather frustrating, so he has mood swings now. One minute he'll be his bubbly happy self, the next he'll be cold, depressed and distant.

Now that Holden has his sense of touch back, you'd think he'd be back to his chipper old self, but all the shit that went down with Rory really struck a nerve. He's more reserved now, less outgoing, a child of love afraid to love.

WIP
History

Once upon a time, oh around the year 1988, Eros was partying it up in Miami and met a beautiful young woman by the name of Jane Caldwell, a lead singer in an up-and-coming local band that had high hopes for a record deal someday. After a few weeks of courting her, he left and moved on, but come to find out; she was pregnant with his child. She struggled on, putting her singing dreams on hold to care for her child. By the time the child was born, the guitarist in the band had fallen head over heels in love with Jane, and they married to raise Holden together.

For a couple of years they put their band on hold, but with a new drummer in their ranks, they started playing around locally. So this was how Holden was raised, being dragged around, to location after location, while his parents played. This went on for years, their parents became fairly well known with a small fan base, but had yet to really hit it big. At 12 Holden experienced his first hellhound attack, which is when a satyr made itself known and with its help, they were able to kill the hellhound. His mother took news of him being a demigod, somewhat well surprisingly, though really the idea of having him at a camp during all his breaks, so she could be free to tour with the band and not have to worry about him was quite appealing.

From 12 to 16 he spent most of the time at either camp, in boarding school, or on the road with his parents. Tragedy struck at 16 when his mother was killed in a plane crash while on their way back home from doing a gig in California, a gig that would have led to a big record deal, had she not died. Kyle was too depressed to take care of Holden and didn't really care what he did or where he went, he gave him half the money from Jane's life insurance policy and basically told him to get lost. So for the next two years from 16 to 18 he spent more and more of his time at camp instead of school.

At 18, while on a quest, he met Circe, she was beautiful and he was instantly enamoured with her, and she him. Once the quest was done she asked if he'd come back to the island to be with her, he agreed and did actually go back. For returning to her, she made it so he wouldn't age, and for 4 years this worked out quite well for the both of them. That is until his flirty play boy ways got the better of him, and she caught him in bed with one of her nymph/servants. Outraged she wanted to kill him, but instead, she decided it would be more fun to see him suffer. She cursed him, so that he cannot feel touch, granted he can't feel pain either as a side effect but no touch. He's wandered around for the last few weeks, unsure of where to go or what to do, so he's made his way back at camp, hoping for a safe haven while he gets things figured out.

Journal
First Time at Camp over 6 years ago

For the most part 6 years ago, after the death of his mother, he had a fairly normal life at camp, he went on a quest 4 years ago that led him to meeting Circe and also to fall in love with her. She kept him on her island, not ageing, to be her consort, but after catching him with a nymph servant of hers, well, long story short, now he's back at camp and ageing and cursed.
Sparkling
Current Camp Life

He's made a few new friends since being back at camp. Notably, Kathryn Taylor, a child of Iris and Rory O'Brien. Things were going really well with Rory when Circe stepped in and kidnapped him to test Holden. Holden had a choice, have his curse lifted and be free of it, or save Rory. Realising his feelings for Rory went deeper than just sexual, he set off to Circe's island with Fabian Hawkins's, his half brother. When they got there, he ended up finding Rory in bed with the same Erotiad that Holden had cheated on Circe with. Feeling that she had put Holden through enough, Circe lifted his curse, but by then Holden didn't really care. They all went back to camp, including the Erotiad.

Rory has now left camp entirely, as well as the Erotiad. That makes Holden a bit more at ease, but he still feels hurt the way things went down and has been reserved about it all. Though he finds talking to Skylar helps a bit.

Find him someone to date, possibly Glen, not sure, nothing's set in stone.

Help do an rp with Wonder with him and Skylar (WIP, to be planned out in more detail soon, and if you're reading this, no it's not incest >.<)

Recently Eros had an angry encounter with Ares, Aphrodite was acting strangely, she refused to pay attention to him. Ares produced a father, that only could have come from one of Eros' arrows, and accuse Eros of making her fall in love with a horse. Eros obviously didn't do it, and doesn't know what's going on or who got a hold of some of his arrows. (End game, Eos, a former lover of Hephaestus prior to his marriage of Aphrodite, was always jealous and furious the way that Aphrodite treated Hephaestus and cheated on him with Ares. She convinced one of her sons (wind gods) to use their powers to knock some arrows out of Eros' quiver when he wasn't paying attention. Once she had them, she used one to make Aphrodite fall in love with anything other than Ares or Heph. The only way to break the spell is to find and destroy the arrow that hit Aphrodite.)

Some love nymphs have been going missing, someone's trying to make it look like they died. Because a love nymph can only die if murdered or if the love of the couple dies, it's making some couples start to fight. (End game, the BC is kidnapping them hoping to cause problems or if they are lucky gather enough love nymphs on their side to use the powers to sway people's feelings towards the BC in general. Could use a bit of work before I do this one.)

Make a page for his bedroom and his pet....

“Be the flame, not the moth.”
We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.
Character's Bio


 Age: 19  Height: 6'0  Weight: 175 lbs
 Sexuality: Pansexual  Relationship Status: Single
 Birth Place: Florida  Main Weapon: Love & Bow/Arrows
 Accent: Neutral/American
 – "There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

Character's Powers

 Powers of a child of Eros (Has 3/6/9 Month Powers):

  1. 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.
  2. Children of Eros have the ability to focus an emotional energy beam out of their love, which will burn anything it touches.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Children of Eros are innately proficient archers.
  7. Children of Eros have a partial resistance to charmspeak, charm-touch etc.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.)
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Children of Eros tend to be very mischievous and cunning, often seen making plans to prank or matchmake other campers.
  19. Children of Eros typically get along with children of Aphrodite.
