Approved!>>Basic Character Info<<
Full Name: Eddie Grey
Age: 19
Gender: Genderqueer (he/him)
Sexuality: pansexual
Ethnicity/Race: Scottish
Godly Parent: Dionysus
Short Backstory: Eddie grew up in rural Scotland, and has a reasonably normal childhood, going to a tiny school, and getting average grades. His childhood only appeared different due to his identity, and having struggles with his gender and name. He lived with his human mother and her boyfriend.
He realised he wasn't quite as normal at 13, when he was being harassed by high school bullies, and they were suddenly strung up to the ceiling by vines that had sprouted from seemingly nowhere. He was pulled out of school for his own safety by his mother, and had everything explained to him.
He was homeschooled to the age of 18, also studying Greek mythology and learning what exactly his powers were. He learnt to control them, careful to avoid detection by any mythical creatures, and simply using his powers as little as possible after establishing a basic level of control. He mostly focused on learning throwing knives for self-defence. It was still mostly luck that he wasn't discovered, mostly down to the rural location where he lived.
At 19, he moved out, and went to a city, where he set up a business illegally selling alcohol he made with his powers, quickly earning a reputation for how incredible it tasted, seemingly adapting to each persons tastes. It was at this point that he first saw a monster, who clearly knew what he was, and had to fight for his life. He got an email a few days later, telling him about some safe haven for people like him.
>>Personality<<
Likes: Researching historical fashion for hours with no actual goal, snakes, lizards and birds, vaugely punk/folk punk music (AJJ, the mountain goats, fall out boy, cage the elephant), ramen noodles
Dislikes: Parties (ironically), crowds, snow/the winter
Character traits: Eddie comes across as rude and standoffish when people first interact with him. He seems to be incredibly overconfident, and self-absorbed. This, of course, comes from a deep insecurity in his identity. He's always expecting to be told he's wrong, and therefore comes across as defensive when he has nothing to defend from. He switches between that and acting carefree and like nobody's opinion matters but his. Growing up fairly isolated, he's unsure how to interact any other way. He wants to be in meaningful relationships, but it feels like there's a vast chasm between him and everyone else. In entirely unrelated news, he's autistic.
Why you agreed to be here: He just kinda thought it might be fun.
