PB: Avan Jogia
Codename: Cupid
Team: Foxtrot
Role: Wildcard #4
Powers:

Love Manipulation: A variation of emotional manipulation, Cupid possesses the ability to manipulate emotions such as pleasure, love, and attraction. Practical uses of this power would be flirting with club bouncers so he can enter without waiting in line and having his Starbucks drinks paid for by the baristas, and strenuous uses would be amplifying someone's love for him to the point where they'd willingly die for him. The objects of his affection eventually come to, but with enough force, he can manipulate them for quite some time. Additionally, those who know of his power tend to become more aware of his influence and have more of a fighting chance against it. He's also not too rusty in the sack.

Enhanced Archery: There isn't a shot Cupid can't make. If it's in range, there's a near perfect chance that he'll hit the target. His abilities also include launching more than one arrow at once, and hand-to-hand combat with his bow.

Wing Manifestation: Cupid's literal wingspan is just over nine feet. He can use his wings as a form of protection, as a weapon if his bow is missing or he's run out of arrows, and obviously as a means of transportation.

I'm still working on the specifics of Valentine's biography, but I know that at one point he successfully seduced a large portion of his school's officials and was suspected of having inhuman abilities. He can be self-absorbed and doesn't really think about others' feelings, but he tries his hardest to make his friends happy and get along with nearly everyone. I'd love characters of any gender that he flirts with, whether or not they necessarily reciprocate.

Cupid is both awesome and terrifying. :o

Backlash... Probably jokes about how Cupid should use his powers to make his handler love him so she'll stop being such a jerk. He is up for being flirted with, though it will definitely make him uncomfortable coming from another guy.

whosthere is a super with serial killer enabling abilities who came to GC after killing a handler. He's on Bravo. He's happy to be surface friends with Valentine, but he has strong personal boundaries regarding his personal space and gets stabby when they're not respected. So not too much flirting with him.

gorgonn is still a little mopey right now because she's homesick, but she will probably like Valentine and she is definitely impressed by his wings.

pixieled has been a Ghost since she turned 18, and since they both have wings (hers are butterfly inspired) they have possibly trained together in the past? She is a Foxtrot, but will be transferring to Romeo in the next day... Um, don't quote me on the timeline, because I am wrong at least half of the time! It's happening soon, though.

Thank you!! I think it might be fun to play out him realizing his potential to do some serious damage and having to be checked by his handler lol.

Cupid would be all over this advice, charming and teasing whoever's unfortunate enough to get stuck with him. Despite his manipulation, I think he'd be merciful and save the flirting for an occasional comment or two!

I can't promise that if Who ever tells him to knock it off, Cupid won't tilt his head, make a pouty face, and go, "S'wrong, Mr. Who? Don't you think I'm pretty?"

I'm so happy that she'll like him because while I was scrolling through and reading up, she was one of the ones that caught my attention! They can both command armies together!

Totally up for training together, and Valentine's going to go crazy over her and tell her how beautiful she is lmao

Backlash is grateful!

Who's response will probably be something along the lines of, I'll think you're prettier once you're dead. x:

LOL they can! Now I want him to try to make one of Gorgon's once-human-then-stone-statues fall in love with him, and they can battle over who's in control of it in Inferno.

Pixie loves compliments! We could give them a past fwb arrangement if you're interested, with possibly something that's fizzling out in the present now that she's moving to Romeo? She's sort of in a thing with Blitz, but neither of them will say it's a thing so she sleeps where she wants.

I love Who already! Inside I see Cupid being like O.o but on the outside he's totally, "Mmm, kinky. I can play dead."

YES that would be exactly the kind of thing he would do. Literally romancing the stone and seeing who's the strongest between them lol.

That would be a lot of fun as long as she doesn't mind that he was kind of a bb when he first got arrested lol. He was a snotty eighteen year old who probably would've had a lot to say about this organization. Plus I think once he realized they had feelings, he'd have backed off just a bit to let them flourish :P

	Sorry for the short and shitty blurb, but I'm mobile at the moment. In terms of plotting, I have this gal who is the Alpha Team Surveillance and ~anacelis, one of the Echo Team Damages. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No worries! Val would find Ana to be quite interesting. He's always intrigued by people who aren't all that willing to be affectionate and physical with others because it's something that comes naturally to him. And Libby seems like a sweetheart that he would immediately get along with. Plus, they're holiday babies! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's had a hard life of being forced to be too affectionate and physical with others, if you catch my meaning. :(

Yay for holiday babies! Libby is a bit of a goody-two-shoes in that she was raised conservatively (religion & family of military patriarchs) in a very small, white bread town, so she might be like D: at all his shenanigans but genuinely like him as a person. She's a bit of an old fashioned romantic at heart, too, so she's sure to find his powers intriguing as well.

That's one of Val's biggest fears, actually. He's got the whole Purple Man thing (minus the obvious forcing) where he wonders if he'll ever find someone who actually cares about him without him having to amp up their love. He'd never want to force someone to be close to him outside of using them as an army or something. I hope that makes sense?

I'm so here for Val constantly scandalizing her with all the tales of his past and inevitable tales in the future haha.

	Oh yeah, absolutely. sigh Oh Killgrave... :/ LOL yes! She'll be half-scandalized, half hanging onto every word living vicariously through those exploits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	schoolboycrush 2016-08-30 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Killgrave was truly something else. Val's fear is more about the idea of forcing someone to love him or sleep with him, but it's mostly just mental since he's actively aware of when he's using his ~charm I love this idea more and more haha (Reply to this) (Parent)

Such a cute theme for a super! At least two of mine think he should have to wear a man diaper instead of the standard uniform, though. :X

Reaper is a fellow foxtrot and a necrokinetic. She does try to be friendly to hide her sociopathic tendencies and to put people at ease around her despite her ghoul army, but they're kind of right to be creeped out around her. :X She's going to be involved with Who, her fellow creep and body supplier, but she'd be very polite about his flirty nature and friendly all the same!

Leah

steelyeyed is ruthless Alpha handler #1 and doesn't like when people try to mess with her emotions. If he keeps his love powers away from her, they might get along all right.

Blitz

smoothasglass is an Alpha damage and only into the ladies, but he's also very friendly and wouldn't mind being pals with Valentine. He's got a FWB arrangement with Pixie that they both say isn't exclusive, because he used to have other FWBs, but it's pretty much down to just her now. He's just in denial about anything being there. He might get jealous of Valentine giving her attention, but I'm all for that, by all means. >:D He's also kind of scheming to get Chaosbomb and Siren together, so he wouldn't mind some help in that department from the love god himself~

Medic

needamedic is my grumpy Echo healer who's been in the program way too long and was recruited against his will. Doesn't bother with relationships, was lucky enough to get a very pretty young roommate in the form of Gorgon that he's eventually going to soften toward (but is currently grumping at like he does with all newbies). He'd probably just roll his eyes and grumble about "that winged boy" or something like that.

Livewire

superconductive will be plenty friendly toward him, until she's not. She's unstable and has a vicious streak that earned her a spot on Juliet, but easy to manipulate even without the right superpowers. She'd probably hit on him like she does with...well, just about everyone. :D But be careful because she's just as likely to turn and fire off some lightning at him or something.

Aw, thank you! We're on the same page about the uniform, he's gonna complain the entire time about how stuffy it is. He wants something much more revealing :P

Ooh, she has ghouls? Val's more than likely going to try and flirt with one and give himself an even bigger ego. If it works, he'll be all, "See, even the dead folks want me ^^" He's one step away from being slightly crazy, so I think they might actually get along!

You know that saying flirting with danger? I think that might apply here, and I'm not even mad at it lol.

If Val even gets a whiff of romance in the air, he'll probably end up relentlessly teasing Blitz about it. And yesss, bring on all the hijinx that they can get into trying to play matchmaker. Given that he's so obviously narcissistic, he might require a few praises thrown his way though, just as a warning for the future :P

There'll definitely be kisses blown Medic's way just because Cupid is obnoxious and the biggest troll ever!

She sounds like a whole lot of fun! He'd be careful around her because of her Juliet status, but I can totally see them being friendly whenever her mood allows it!

Lmao! XD Like this?

They only respond if she lets them, but it might give her some kicks to have the zombie look flattered by his flirting.

He might not be her super, but she'd find a way to make his life hell if he did. :X

LOL oh boy. XD But it'd be funny! Yeah he's trying to wingman for Chaosbomb but they're both in this "but s/he's just my friend, s/he wouldn't like me that way" stage that's frustrating him to the point of wanting to lock them in a closet together somewhere until they kiss and pull each other out of the friend zone. But having a guy who can make them goofy in love would be a much, much funnier method. >:D He'll just call him the love god and ask him to help that way.

Medic wants to throw up force fields in front of Val at the last second so he crashes into him, show him what trolling gets him. XD

Works for her!

Vanessa is disgustingly gooey and romantic so she probably adores his powers and hope he uses them for good, haha.

He can definitely flirt with Nessie - I think their pbs were on a show together! - but alas, her heart not-so-secretly belongs to ~chaosbomb.

I also have

tothegunshow. I would be very amused to see Cupid using his powers against Dean until he learns to push past them because a) he's hyper masculine and SUPER DUPER HETEROSEXUAL, OKAY~ but also because everyone else who hits on him gets griped at, haha. :]

Vanessa sounds like a sweetheart, and I'm 100% on board for the fact that they were on Victorious together haha. He'll end up coming up with dumb chants like, "Val and Vanessa, sittin' in a tree," but that whole sixth sense about her feelings for ~chaosbomb will keep him from getting too attached.

Dean is the exact kind of guy that Val would try and use his powers on! He likes a challenge, and he likes teasing and making super hetero dudes squirm just a little bit. His go-to phrase to tease them is something along the lines of, "Wanna see Cupid's arrow?" before cackling and leaving them to try and #nohomo that lmfao.

	Ooooh, SHE WOULD BLUSH SO MUCH, I love it! <3 But yes, haha, if he wanted to lend Blitz a hand in his little matchmaking scheme, I would be 100% for it and v. v. grateful :D BWAHAHAHA, everything about this is magical~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's quite the fan of mischief and romance so I think he would jump (or fly) at the chance to get the ball rolling between two characters! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

This is Preston, a fellow Foxtrot. He's an energy replicator and can borrow most people's powers temporarily and he can read energy from supers. So he can see not only their type of power, but can also tell when they're in love, aroused, etc.. He's a former military guy, but it's a little sensitive, so he wouldn't be a jerk if he got hit on. He'd probably laugh it off and tell Valentine that he wasn't that attractive.

	schoolboycrush 2016-08-31 06:14 am UTC (link)
	Ooh, his power sounds like it can lead to a lot of fun situations. Val won't take too kindly to the idea that someone can temporarily do what he can, which will drive him crazy and make me laugh. As a fellow member of the dudes with long hair committee, Val will certainly do his best to hit on him! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	cupid and chaosbomb around the holidays would be fantastic. also he should hit meredith with something. pull her out of her depression for a little while. >.> she could even be tolerable to be around then! (Reply to this)
