I feel like, although I've been here a while, I've never officially introduced myself. There is a reason for that, but I'll get into it momentarily. First off, introductions -- Hello, my name is Andrew Hart. Some of you may know me from various clubs around campus or as the voice of the Love Line radio show. Others of you may know me in my more official capacity as the Erote known once as Anteros.
Yes, I'm Greek. Son of Aphrodite and Ares. Brother to Eros. God of requited love, avenger of unrequited love, and just generally a fan of love when it goes both ways. And yet I'm also Andrew Hart, brother of Curt and just generally an easy-going guy.
Many, if not all of you, know my mythical father and brother, and have your opinions on them. I'm certain many of you have at least heard of my mythical mother and have your opinions on her. Some of you might be aware of my brothers' powers, and have your opinions in those as well. What you may not know is my own powers, which might be of interest to some of you.
First off, as the God of requited love, I can make the object of your affections think about you. It might only last a short time, but it'll happen.
Second, as the avenger of unrequited love, if someone you love has wronged you, I can make them feel your pain for a short time.
Third, also because I'm the avenger of unrequited love -- a more romantic Hawkeye, if you will -- if I ever find myself squaring off in a fight against someone who has recently wronged another in a romantic sense I'll kick their ass. Hard. Definitively. And with gusto.
Why am I telling you all this? Why not? Besides, it's possible someone might want to take advantage of one of those abilities, and if that be the case now you know who has them.
I'm Anteros, and I support everyone's right to love and be loved in return.
