Is it Lust? Is it Love?

Whatever it is, I can't get enough.

Basic Info

Name:	♥ Eros ♥

Bio

I felt the wind on my cheek, coming down from the east

Explanation for his PBs:
His PB is not one but many. I had intended for it to be Hayden Christensen at first, but found that no one actor could capture his expression correctly. This turned into me using Hollow Art like a celebrity grab-bag to get what I needed to convey what Eros was feeling. He has, since then, acquired ~~Natalie Portman~~ Alicia Silverstone as his female PB.

And I thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees

Explanation for his... er, dual gender:
"Despite all representations in which Love is depicted as a young man or boy, Eros is believed to have a dual nature, being neither female nor male. He (or she) is regarded as composed of many elements and able to bear different qualities within a single frame. Therefore he may appear audacious or timid, seem wise or stupid, give himself to impetuosity or choose persistance." For posterity's sake, I will be playing him primarily male.

And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind

Tidbit of useful information:
"The word "erotic," meaning sexual love, comes from the name of Eros. However, even in ancient times, his quality of love was thought to be spiritual as well as physical, and was generally believed to be the deity who caused the love of beauty, healing, freedom and many other good things as well as the love between people."

Get loved to make more, try to stay alive

This is an interpretation of the Greek God of Love and Desire, Eros, played by

carnality. He is played at

dramadramaduck, and occasionally

sixwordstories. Almost icons were snagged from Hollow Art (

hollow_art -- One of the best PB communities available to RPers.) If you'd like to use one I made, feel free but please credit me; if you use any others, please credit the appropriate icon maker. If you see I've miscredited someone or I haven't credited something you made, feel free to drop me an IM (on AIM, at Neo Dandyism) or send me a message over livejournal.
