Just don't call him "PJ" that name annoys the hell out of him. [color=c71585][u]Birth Date:[/u][/color] April 10, 1992 [color=c71585][u]Age:[/u][/color] 24 [color=c71585][u]Gender:[/u][/color] Male [color=c71585][u]Sexuality:[/u][/color] Heterosexual (Bi-Curious) [hr] [center][img]http://65.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ozf5IwWt1rvxmc5.gif[/img][/center] [center][color=gold][h1][u]In The Mirror[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=c71585][u]In Depth Appearance:[/u][/color] Preston wears handsome like a prince, and that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that he knows he’s handsome. He may not be as hot as the Children of Aphrodite, but the Children of Hera were one of the Top 3 during The Judgment of Paris. His hair is silky to the touch. When combed and nourished with oils, it looks like whipped chocolate. His hairline is always immaculate, mostly because he’s his own barber. He wouldn’t dare trust some amateur, touching his hair. His eyes are a bluish-grey and his skin without blemish—the finest cream. Preston always likes to dress his best, wearing clothes from suits to fancy sweaters. His figure is rather thin and lean. He stands 5’10” and weighs 165 lbs. He works out mostly to look good for his self-expectations are through the roof. [color=c71585][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/color] Suits, ties, leather shoes, sweater vests, sweaters, turtle necks, khaki,sunglasses, wristwatches—he wears the most expensive clothes, and he wears them for himself. So don't scuff what you can't afford. He [i]will[/i] collect.

The truth hurts and he's rather frank about it. Goodbye feelings. [*]Sadistic; one might not have expected it, but then how could you not? He is the Son of Hera. If you thought the young man was going to be born on a bed of roses, you got another thing coming. [*]Vain; he will get up early just to spend a good hour cleaning and grooming himself before he goes to class. [*]Envious; now, he's not envious when someone tries to get on his level. Huh, they'll never reach it. But he doesn't like being cheated on, ditched, or side-lined for someone who he deems to be insignificant. [*]Vengeful; when wronged, he will be avenged.

His arrogance has no peak, but unlike most assholes, he can actually back it up. Hera raised him to be the best and so he strives to always be above others. Some people loathe this characteristic about him, while others pay him no mind. There are a unique few who can tolerate his pompous behavior, and usually those people either: a) have a sense of humor, b) look up to him (as they should), or c) have a tough skin. Sensitive people will have their emotions exploited by Preston. His words can be rather cutting. Now, after reading this, some people are expecting a braggart. No…not entirely. Preston doesn’t usually have to announce how great he is for most can see it in his looks, how he carries himself, and his scores. He does his best and that should be admirable enough. While at Olympus Academy, Preston has set himself up a nice counseling business where he will listen to the relationship problems of others. He likes to know when a couple plans to get married, and he does his best to help couples facing discord to resolve their problems so that they can stay together. He highly frowns upon divorce and breakups for the wrong reason, and even more so on sexual assault. For a special fee, demigods can pay him to take out those mortals or other demigods who have wronged them. Good or evil; it depends on how one looks at it. Preston actually has a personality disorder where he can harm and murder others without feeling a hint of regret. People who tend to consult that side of him are wanting that person who hurt them to disappear, and he will gladly make that happen if one were wronged. [color=c71585][u]Background:[/u][/color] Okay, wait, I’m telling this story. Once upon a time, my rich asshole of a father met my cold bitch of a mother at a banquet in Manchester, England, and then I was born! Heh, if it was that simple of a story. Their relationship is a complicated one. It even confuses me sometimes. My father is named, Richard James (see where I got my middle name?) McTavish, and he’s a pretty famous entrepreneur. He’s basically paid to travel and solve simple problems involving organization and talent management in corporations. My mother, well, she was drawn to him by accident but she says that my father radiated in the room and that she couldn’t resist a dance with him. They danced and lingered in each other’s company, and not once did they say anything kind to one another. It was a battle of wits or perhaps that was how it appeared to everyone else. The two were practically randy for each other and every time mother comes to visit, the room tends to get a little warmer. I was told that while mother was pregnant with me, she left my father alone to lay in Zeus’s presence, harassing him with her swollen womb. Hm…I suppose I’m lucky to be alive. She eventually gave birth to me and carried me between the mortal realm and Olympus, flaunting me to the other members of the dodekatheon. I grew up with the silver spoon in my mouth as they say or fortunate that my mother was one of the most influential goddesses in the universe. I was home schooled for most of my education for my mother feared my powers affecting the other children. I almost didn’t get to attend Olympus Academy because my father was so intrigued by my gifts that he wanted to use me for his business. I would have had a full-time professional job, and I wouldn’t have to get a degree. [i]Sighs[/i]…Hera refused, and forced me to go to this school of demigod idiots, promising me that I’ll learn something. We will see. Maybe this school will be amusing. [color=c71585][u]Extra:[/u][/color] Hm...do I want to say the same gods and goddesses again? Nah. [hr] [center][img]http://data.whicdn.com/images/55075333/large.gif[/img][/center] [center][color=gold][h1][u]Godly Information[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=c71585][u]Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Hera [color=c71585][u]Relationship With Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Hera loves her son, and is actually pleased that he turned out looking better than her last son *coughshephaestuscoughs* Because of this, she absolutely spoils Preston. Since he enrolled in Olympus Academy, he hasn’t seen her around as much, but he knows that when he returns home for the summer breaks, Hera is always eager to hear about her son’s time at school. [color=c71585][u]Godly Abilities:[/u][/color] [u]Emotion Embodiment[/u]: Preston has the ability to become the physical manifestation of his emotions, and gains the ability to influence his represented emotion: [list][*][i]Envy[/i] – He becomes the embodiment of envy/jealousy and gains power from envy of others and oneself. He can use envy as a power source to extend his lifespan until his envy is satisfied or use it as a weapon. He can use this power to get what he wants or kill others in order to take what he wants. Limit: Preston can only use this power while jealous. The power granted by Envy embodiment is listed as a subparagraph beneath this one. [list][*]Curse Inducement – Like his queen mother, when jealous, Preston can place a curse on whatever he wishes (people, places, objects, etc.). The exact effects can be nearly anything the user desires, ranging from minor annoyances to torturously extended death. Most common effects are misfortune/bad luck, various sicknesses, infertility, physical defects/ugliness, etc. Limit: Preston can only use this power while jealous. | Cure: Preston is the only one who can remove his hexes on others, and it requires him to be able to forgive the afflicted person, which requires much persuasion.[/list] [*][i]Vengeance/Revenge Empowerment[/i] – Preston can become an embodiment of vengeance, often gaining power from the vengeful feelings of both himself and others around him. This power empowers him, making him stronger, faster, more durable, et al; from vengeance of oneself and others. This power allows him to unlock abilities related to the affinity and enhance his existing powers. This power is most effective during incidents of humiliation or defeat. If Preston was defeated by an enemy or enemies, his vengeance will kick in, restoring him back to optimum health with his boosted strength brought on by his revenge empowerment. Limit: Preston can only use this power only when desiring vengeance/revenge for a crime committed against him or others.[/list] [u]Persuasion[/u]: Preston can compel people by speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling. This power has grown stronger since attending Olympus Academy to the point where he can persuade people into hurting/killing themselves or even flip around their sense of logic, but can never cause victims to achieve what they are not naturally (to include supernaturally) capable of. For example, if mortals naturally do not fly, then he cannot compel a human to fly. If a being is a fire elemental, he cannot make the fire elemental use ice. Preston calls his ability [i]Mesmer[/i] for when he uses the ability his tone of voice changes, and those under its influence are unable to detect it. When he uses his speech craft, his voice bears an eldritch resonance that can easily reverberate and slip into the conscious of others, seemingly hypnotizing them. Most don’t know that they’re being affected until after they completed the implanted mission. Limit(s): Preston must be able to speak to control people and subjects must be able to understand and hear his commands; someone with high intelligence or super intelligence can be resistant to it; someone with ridiculously low intellect to the point where one is too stupid to grasp Preston’s meanings are also resistant to it; complex commands may be less effective than simple commands; and anything that prevents the user from speaking or hearing barriers such as walls or headphones can block this power. [list][*][i]Mental Shield Penetration[/i] – Hera’s powers were strong enough to even manipulate Zeus. Likewise, Preston can locate psychic barriers in the minds of others and shatter them to allow for his Persuasion power to easily penetrate one’s conscience. Limit: Penetrating one’s mental defense may have unintended consequences to the target’s psyche and making physical contact with a victim makes the penetration inevitable.[/list][/hider]
