Lachesis is the middle Fate, between Clotho and Atropos, and is one of the many children of Nyx. After the thread of life is woven, Lachesis measures it to determine how long a person will live. At the time designated by her, Atropos cuts the thread and the person in question dies. The three sisters determine destiny which, naturally, doesn't really make them the favorites of most.
In her current form, she's Joelle Moirae. She's friendly, though a bit creepy (much like her older sister) with how much she knows about the lives of each person she encounters. She's technically a law student at NYU, though she really only goes to listen to what the other students say and to make overwhelmingly perfect grades. It passes the time between determining fate.
Oizys is yet another of child of Nyx. She is the goddess of worry, distress, anxiety, misery, and other pleasant concepts like that. She is one of the bundle of gods and goddesses who serve as personifications of their specific emotion (her twin Momus, for example, is the god of blame). In essence, she is what makes a person feel awful. Obviously, she's the ultimate party guest. ;)
Currently, she is Valerie White. In spite of her appearance, she's actually the ultimate emo kid. Given that she is the human form of a very specific, very unpleasant set of emotions, she doesn't tend to have a very positive outlook on things. She spends most of her time at cafes listening to the angst poetry of people who get her, and drags her brother, Thanatos, along whenever she can. Her present hobby is causing heartbreak and depression, which is the reason behind her current form. She has a very prickly, sarcastic personality, but she allows it to be just intriguing enough so that the mortal (and occasionally immortal) men she encounters cannot help but try to push by it. Thus begins the cycle of angst that she loves so very much.
Adonis was an exceedingly beautiful young man and favorite of the goddess Aphrodite. She was taken with him when he was only a baby and, in order to keep him safe, entrusted him into the hands of Persephone -- who also became immediately taken with him. When Aphrodite returned to collect him, Persephone refused to give him back and a dispute ensued. A compromise was made that split Adonis' years into thirds. He'd spend one with each goddess, then have the opportunity to choose where he spent the final third (he always chose Aphrodite). He was killed when a wild boar wounded him (believed to have been sent by Artemis) with its tusk and died in Aphrodite's arms.
In his reincarnated state, he is Ryan Lovett, a charming man from Charleston, South Carolina. He's very kind and not at all arrogant, though he is aware of his beauty. Basically, he's an an immensely likeable guy. He moved to NYC after his graduation from high school to pursue a career in the arts, but was swept into the modeling world first. After retiring at 25, he took the fan-base he'd collected with him as he made his way onto the stage as an actor. He's lovely. :)
