Every time I read a story/manga, watch a movie or an anime, my mind automatically creates an OC that goes with the fandom, within or completely outside the story line. (Even "Bones" and "Law and Order"! GAH!) But I've only made a couple of LJ journals for them.
But please be aware that his replies are WAY different from me; I'm friendly! He's... not? JUST DON'T TAKE OFFENSE WHENEVER HE OPENS HIS MOUTH! >o<;

((The following is a 100 question meme that reveals a lot about his past and emotions.))
1. What is your full name?
- Deo Bedros Calais
2. Where and when were you born?
- In a small village near Athens, Greece. About 3,000 years before the 'modern times', as others put it.
3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
- Vasilis Xander Calais, Father: Though his name sounds regal, he was just a poor mortal man who was known for his decent ability in metalwork. A small blacksmith, basically. He had come from a good, honest family and had no siblings. ...So it's a no-brainer that he fell in 'love' with an exotic stranger visiting his little town. She was something that had never happened to the simple man before.
- Lady Medusa, Mother: Queen of the Gorgon clan and seductress of mortals. She has been a central figure in my life, considering that she raised me herself. Not long from the end of her pregnancy with me, she revealed herself from her spell of illusion. She slew her mate's (and I use that term loosely) entire family in one night. She says I was bathed in their blood when I was born not long afterwards.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
- I most likely have half-siblings in the main clan, but I've never asked. I only return home to check in on my mother.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
- I live in a village called Sheol. No one shares my cabin, but I don't mind. But I would like to have a nice, young companion.
6. What is your occupation?
- Currently? None. Back in my realm, I was a bounty hunter, destroying whatever marks paid the most. However, I preferred going after the nine Muses in my spare time.
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
- Rather short for a male (5' 7''), long black hair, slightly effeminate features. My hands are covered with grey-black scales and end in sharp claws, a small, black snake hangs down the side of my face, and my eyes are usually a blue-black. My tongue is very long and serpentine -- not to mention it's as nimble as another arm -- and I have a tendency to scent the air like a reptile.
I prefer to wear dark, protective clothing. It helps me blend in with the shadows. I do have a deep scar on my right him, an old battle scar from my dear mother.
8. To which social class do you belong?
- To the public? A strange half-breed that is lower than dirt. I like to think of myself a little higher than that, considering my bloodline.
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
- Unfortunately, tragically... I cannot go near roses. If I catch a scent of it or get pricked, I start becoming feverish.
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
- Right-handed.
11. What does your voice sound like?
- Arrogant, seductive, and low. I prefer to stay calm at all times.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
- I tend to use 'pet names' around others, such as 'child' or 'love'.
13. What do you have in your pockets?
- A small looking-glass given to me by the Goddess Athena. Useless here in Sheol.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
- I am very prone to moodswings and I like to act flirty around potential lovers. I act arrogant most of the time and I love the taste of blood.
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
- A little violent and unusual. I grew up with Gorgons most of the time, but I managed to escape to a nearby human village often. Strength and experience was an important trait in my family. It was kill or be killed. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned about "life's lessons", when I wanted to blend in with mortals.
16. What is your earliest memory?
- Playing with my mother's long, scaly tail.
17. How much schooling have you had?
- I wasn't even let near human schools. I taught myself how to read, do mathematics, and how to write in a few languages. I know most of the Lores of the Gods. I can translate fluently between Greek and Gorgon.
18. Did you enjoy school?
- I did not attend school.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
- From my mother and from my world travels.

- I try to follow the teachings of the God Hades.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
- With my mother, yes. Other clan members? No. I despised them.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- There are not many job opportunities for mixed-bloods like me. I just wanted to have my own freedom.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
- Hunting, stargazing, exploring my environment.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
- Quiet, possessive, and very attached to my mother.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
- I'm afraid not, seeing as I was the only one getting attention from the Queen. I had no friends.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
- Hmm... I believe it was with one of my early victims, a pretty little female human from the desert lands.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
- No, I am most certainly not. But I cannot recall when I first had sex. Most likely it occured when I first discovered the effects of alcohol.
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
- This is how I was born.
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?

33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?

34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
- I am warned to keep away from any major Greek cities. I say 'warned' because there is not much the mortals can do to stop me.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
- Whenever I recieved my special mirror from Athena, about fifty years ago or so, I saw a vision of my mother's violent death. I am very attached to her.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
- I like to relax in the tranquility of a holy temple whenever I can. One time, when I was little, I tried to sneak in during a funeral service. Unfortunately, the victim's family loved roses, and I sneezed the hell out of them. I was chased out of there rather quickly.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?

49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)?
- I do not like to reveal my inner feelings, unless I am with a good friend or listener. Whoever's convenient when I feel like talking.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
- I can never think of a child as being anything other than innocent. I think males are better for sex.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
