- cαℓℓ мε :: Nero. It's my middle name, and I'm quite fond of it...
вℓσω συт тнε cαиםℓεs :: The last I counted, it was ninteen candles.
ραитs σr sкιятs :: Do not truly matter. I would consider a kilt a skirt, but I would not wear anything but pants of some length. I am a perfectly heterosexual male.
σвεy мε :: My godly parent is Hephaestus, according to the fiery hammer that appeared above my head that night.. However, I know my mother, for she was the one who raised me to be wonderful me...well, at least until I was thirteen.
тσυcн тнε sкy :: Well...to be realistic, I won't get that high. I'm only 6'2, and the sky is far higher than that...
ℓαy σff тнε fяιεs :: Or not. I've been told I have to gain weight. Is it still considered underweight if you're 160 pounds when you compare me to a model?
ρυмρ ιт υρ :: My personal playlist would certainly include The Game, Smiling Like a Killer, Matryoshka, Fashion, and More.
нαυтε cσυтυяε :: Unlike most of the males in my generation, I actually attempt to keep up with the fashion. I wear more formal attire than anything else, dressed in my most casual days with a buttoned shirt and dark jeans. However, on most days, I wear any neutral color of slacks, and then a brightly colored dress shirt (or neutral, dark if I'm wearing light slacks, light if I'm wearing dark slacks). However, I always wear loafers or boots. It depends on whether I wear jeans (boots) or slacks (loafers).

- αиcιεит нιsтσяy :: I must think of where to begin. Strangely, the story of Erik Nero Gosse begins long before his birth where the Greek gods began to mingle with human women, creating demigods. Now, my mother was actually a demigod herself. She was the daughter of Aphrodite, and in order to spite the goddess that is my grandmother, my father slept with my mother. My mother has said, in the past, that she didn't expect to get pregnant from that one experience. Well, what do you know, hmm? There's a lesson already; carry Trojans, ladies. You never know.
In any case, my mother was impregnated with me. Unfortunately, she was also married. Her husband was sterile, and immediately, he knew that she had cheated on him and he left her. This caused my mother to turn to heavy drinking whilst pregnant with me. Now, thankfully, my father's blood kept my mind intact. The only disfigurement that I bear is scoliosis, which occasionally makes it difficult to fight. I also am quite shaky, which comes to be quite difficult with my hobbies, but I can manage.
In any case, I was born a month early, and had to be nurtured in a hospital until it was certain that I could survive. Naturally, my mother was still drinking, and from my younger years, I learned to fend for myself. Her boyfriends were plagued with cooking for me at times when she passed out in her room, and they didn't seem to mind. I was too young and couldn't reach anything. However, once I was tall enough, I took care of my mother. I helped her where I could and tried to convince her to quite, but it never worked. She always drank, and soon, her liver failed.
The beautiful daughter of Aphrodite, and my mother, died when I was thirteen. That same day, I was approached by a man in a wheelchair, who I would later learn was Chiron, and taken to Camp Half-Blood. I was always quite independent, even when moved into the cabin with my helpful siblings through the god Hephaestus. I spend several years there, and at this point, I leave the camp when I want to and do things that I want. I have gotten in trouble for it before, but I've never quite cared. I'm happy to be on my own, and when I walk through New York, I feel even better.
fαмιℓy sεcяεтs :: I'm not entirely sure if my family has influenced me as such, but I have very little self-confidence, especially when it comes toward finding life partners. Commitment is something I could never promise. I am a loner by nature and prefer to be left to my own devices. I can barely stand working with my siblings and the other campers when I have to. I haven't been able to approach the Aphrodite cabin because too many bad memories rise, but there are plenty of girls that I have dated otherwise. I never have found someone that I could live with, though...
gιммε gιммε :: I like to smoke, so never try to take my cigarettes. I also enjoy music, isolated areas, and making things. I'm always fiddling with something.
иσ ωαy, נσsε :: I could NEVER deal with commitment to a relationship, making friends, giant parties, or being watched. I'm always irked when I know someone's there.
тнεяαρy, ρℓεαsε :: My fear could probably include drinking, which I know I would become addicted to, and having to commit to a woman. I couldn't fully commit, because I never know how long it would take me to feel trapped...and I always do. However, the biggest fear that I have is becoming paralyzed, which, due to my scoliosis, isn't too far away.

- ℓιттℓε αםσяимεnтs :: I do not have any piercings or tattoos that I can think of, but I do have a bruise-like birthmark of three dots in a triangle on my lower back, close to my right hip. The symbol means "therefore," in math, anyway.
ℓσσк αт мε :: I am very good with fixing things, and on occasion putting things together. I always loved putting together furniture and fixing toys all over the place. Bring it to me; I can put it in one piece. I'm also good at working with flaming weapons. I strike a match to an oiled sword and can work easily with fighting with it.
υsε тнσsε cяαyσиs :: I think gray and gold have been used most.
cнεяяy σи тσρ :: Because of my scoliosis, I visit the infirmary quite often. From youth, I became aware that I'm becoming closer and closer to that final result of becoming paralyzed from the waist down, and that is perhaps my biggest fear. Also, I love the summertime when it's hot and arid outside. When it's humid, it's too heavy, but the drier heats are good. Any heat is good, really, and sometimes, when I'm angry, my body heats up. My mother was afraid of me when I got angry before...The house burned down that night, and the police said it was because the alcohol caught fire. To this day, we're not quite sure what happened to make the alcohol flame, though. Also, when I was first learning how to build things, I built an Automaton raven, which stays with me at all times. I carry a bag with a repair kit. This Automaton can trigger a larger Automaton raven that I use as a weapon or transportation when I must. I have never been on a quest, but it's helpful nonetheless.
