loves music and the arts plays the lyre and piano, tea, coffee,chocolate, toffee, and going to the forest, his space is always a mess, but a different mess each time from tearing up his space to find something, then tearing it up again to find something else. Very sweet and kind, that's what people think. But like always, people are wrong, I mean sure he's nice but he's not going to go out of his way to do something for someone at least, It's rare for him to do so.If some jerk is degrading others he's perfectly willing to set them straight how ever he feels appropriate. He's always been drawn to the forest for refuge or just to be in a place where everything feels still and quiet, away from people away from his problems just being away... He has a tendency to interrupt or just plain walk away if he get's bored of a conversation, and in times of intense stress tends to stab something near by, like a stuffed animal, a tree, or even a car tire. and it seems when most people get sad he gets angry, enraged even, and when most people get angry he tends not to care.But he has sort of a charming arrogance about him and can be quite charismatic at times.
Unlike others he can appreciate old, antique, vintage, even victorian style, No he isn't one of those people who dress up in suits, but he likes nice vintage things, in his eyes old stuff has some sort of quality to it he just finds irresistible. For instance with most people if they were offered a state-of-the-art keyboard or a piano from the 1920's they would go for the keyboard, not Vere, something about the style of things from the past he just finds appealing. Thus giving him a unique style and personality.
well i guess we should start with a history lesson *sigh* a long time ago his family lived in Scotland, and by long time i mean 150 years predating his family's existence in the U.S., his family were fighting in a war, his great ,great ,great ,great, (however many greats) Grandfather was not fighting but mourning the loss of his wife, and was sick of fighting, and the war so he went to farming, it was then that Demeter felt pity for the now farmer and came down to teach him the ways of the land, over the months she saw how he cared for every plant he grew treating it is his own child so then a child was born, a child of Demeter and his family had been farmers ever since and had moved to the new world in the blue ridge mountains where his mother had fallen for Apollo (and you know how that guy sleeps around) before you know it there was a kid. His mother and Stepfather had met at the farmers market and hit it off, a year later they got married. His life had always been ok never amazing never awful, but he had always gotten people's attention with his remarkable piano and singing skills although it was nothing to unusual, Until the monsters had shown up. His father had never believed him when he told him about the terrifying things lurking outside his window. But his mother knew better. "i had hoped this day would never come" she had said, with tears in her eyes she had said"You'r going to go live with your Uncle Tom" wich wasn't a big deal for him until he had learned that his uncle Tom lived in manhattan.He had seen his mother for the last time. so $50.00, 3 hours and one boring plane ride later, he was at his new home, a Tiny apartment with a genius uncle who could afford so much better, a fat cat and, an aunt who really had nothing wrong with her accept a somewhat creepy sunny disposition. From there he had ridden to camp halfblood in his uncles car and thats when everything went wrong, you see it turned out that his "dear Aunt Marie" had been a gorgon and her sunny disposition and always insisted on playing with him and sitting next to him at the table, was so she could kill him. And it had almost worked. Luckily he had with him the one thing he had brought from home, an antique bronze candle holder. Up until then he had thought it was just normal bronze but he had panicked thinking anything metal would do as long as I can kill this thing. Well it worked and it didn't because she was not dead more just annoyed, that is until he started "DIE YOU EVIL ABOMINATION RETURN TO THE PITS OF TARTARUS" no at that one she got mad. so with the car door torn open and Vere running up halfblood hill, the gorgon chased after him, when he reached the top she turned around to run."yeah that's right fear me" he had thought, until he himself turned around to see a dragon curled around the tree staring him in the face.
he uses a standard recurve bow with celestial bronze arrows and twin celestial bronze rapiers given to him by Apollo called aktina tou iliou (or sunbeams)
Photokinesis
Weak Chlorokinesis
naturally good at composing music and playing the piano
first year
year round
(and for the Frank Zhang thing, no he does not have the abilities a child of Poseidon would have but neither did his descendant that was related to Poseidon everyone after that (as far as we know) had gotten the ability to change shape like their ancestor therefore I think it works to have a weak chlorokinesis, and like I said it's not powerful enough to just erupt plants out of the ground, more to the scale of ripening a berry or growing a large bush )
