Raymond doesn't think very highly of himself. Neither does he of anybody else. He might come of as a bully, as he feels the need to 'speak his mind'. He is truthful in the way that what he says is his truth. He is lead by his instincts. His feelings, his gut. Unlike most of his siblings, Raymond isn't a typical cupido. He isn't a shining rainbow of love, or a sexual sensation, not a symbol of unconditional affection, not lust personified. No. But he ís a temptation. A dark one.
This guy will question your motives with a heads on tirade, whenever he feels there is injustice or dishonesty going on somewhere.
That's probably the reason why he felt so much resistance in his life and feels like the world is against him.
He needs his safe places, his habits, his retraite.
Background:Raymond's father couldn't settle with any other woman after he had been with the godess of love herself. So in his life, Ray saw a lot of potential substitution mothers, come and go. When ray was six, he turned into a little black goat. That was when his dad decided to tell him he was aphrodite's son. Back then, Ray was still at the age of everything being plausible, so it was never really weird for him. Santa was still real as well at the time. When he was eight, one of his dad's girlfriends confessed to him that she liked to watch candles. And fires in general. And how they consumed everthing. An hour later, their house was burning down. The woman was laughing hysterically. They moved to another town. When he was thirteen, he found out he was the only guy in class having no trouble with girls. One of his female teachers that he had a crush on, was later fired for kissing a minor, which was also a student. His father didn't know who was the victim here and had a hard time talking to his son about all this. When he was seventeen, Ray got caught dealing drugs. His father told him that it might be better if Ray left for a place where 'he could be more himself'. Ray still suspects his father of meaning: 'a place where he doesn't cause any trouble'
And now he's here. He visits his dad sometimes in the holidays.
Extra: He works at the campus café
favorite god changed to hades. Especially if it's Alan Brody.
Godly Parent: Aphrodite
Relationship With Godly Parent:Not so well. Raymond doesn't feel acknowledged by his godly mother. As he doesn't exactly represent her values. Aphrodite doesn't give him much attention
Godly Abilities:black sheep of the family: At will, Raymond can turn himself into a bull-sized ferocious black ram. Any form in between human and ram is also possible.
Aphrodisiaca:Raymond honors his middle name by actually being able to brew a lovepotion. But that is just one of the uses and forms. He can influence emotions of people through substances or objects. The requirements are: 1) he has to touch it first 2) then the person has to ingest, touch or inhale it. Could be hard sometimes. Could be simple. The medium for instance, could be smoke.
Tell me your secrets/ Come to the dark side: Raymond has an aura about him, if he chooses it, that makes people confess their hidden desires and fantasies. Their boundaries evaporate. It turns them to a more primal state. It starts with confessing what they secretly want. The longer they are exposed, the more likely the chance that they will turn it into action. While people are in this state, Ray can make a fitting suggestion that gives him minor control over their actions.
Most of the time he has it 'switched off' for the sake of normal contact with people. Plus on school grounds, he has been forbidden to use it.
