Now Cupid must suffer equally as those that he sets upon. Still can he produce love and desire in his targets, but now he sacrifices part of himself for this. The stronger the love and the longer it lingers, the greater the injury to himself. A fleeting moment of lust may only require a few drops of blood but true, ever-lasting love, well...he has only tested that out once and he does not wish to do so again.

From Venus herself came Cupid. Through arrows he could direct the heart of others; gold was given for a gentle smiting that is easily cured, silver a more compelling love, steel for a love-wound that never heals, and lead to fuel aversion and a desire to flee. With these he was able to conquer, in a way which others feared, for what is more uncontrollable than falling in love? Cupid was unsurprisingly arrogant and mischevious, and likely he would have continued with the frivolities of twisting the hearts of gods and mortals...if not for Psyche. Born of his mothers jealousy over the beautiful princess, it was a slip of the hand that instead led Cupid to fall in love with the mortal. They married and he provided generously for her, with only the promise that he must remain unseen, wishing for her to love him not simply because he was the god of desire. Fed the belief that he was a hideous monster, Psyche one day succumbed to temptation and looked at her sleeping husband. Woken by hot candle wax, Cupid flew away, awakened, irate and injured. Unwilling to give up, Psyche searched for the god, undertaking four cruel and difficult tasks set by Venus in the hope of winning him back. For the last task she was sent to retrieve some of Prosperinas beauty but upon opening the box, was taken by an eternal and truly Stygian sleep. Cupid, who had long since recovered from his wound and unable to bear her absence any longer, found Psyches sleeping corpse. Taking her to Jupiter, he present her with his supplication. Jupiter lent a favouring ear and handed Psyche a cup of ambrosia, giving her an immortal life.

To where he did not know but the loss was acute and painful. He searched for her, once trying to push past the invisible barrier that trapped them in Rome. There was maybe a fleeting moment of desire for death but he did not succumb to it and soon returned to safety when the pain became too much. He spent many subsequent years simply waiting, hoping she would return to him but knowing in his heart that she would not. Perhaps someone of a weaker Pantheon would've stayed like this but Cupid knew that Rome would one day need him again, so he shook off his cloak of misery and stepped back into life. And London suited him. He was admittedly cocky. As always but why shouldn't he have been? His powers may have been weakened but this did not mean that desire was any further from his fingertips. He was content with playing with the mortals, manipulating their hearts so that he may benefit from their wealth and power, and eventually leading him to the forefront of British society. It was a flighty way of living but enjoyable for everyone involved. Yet as always he could not resist playing with others and after a perceived wrong from a mortal, Cupid set to making the man fall eternally in love with a woman he could never have. His powers worked, of course, but at a greater price than he had expected. First he was simply weak, then he was coughing up blood, and then...there was nothing. Being in a coma for eight years was nothing to a god but Cupid still found himself frustrated and resentful when he awoke. No longer could he grasp hold of the hearts of others and twist them to his own liking, at least not without the unacceptable risk of harming himself. It also didn't take him long to discover that the world had moved on and Cupid found that his monetary gains had been lost to the passage of time, his wealth sold on by greedy auctioneers and penny pinchers. Part of him knew it would be easy to get it all back but an anger took over him and he fell into the shadows of London. He found a thrill in bare-knuckle boxing. The grimy underworld of fighting suited this more bitter persona, the god of desire figuring that if he was going to get hurt anyway, he may as well get paid for it. At times there his path crossed with those gang members who enjoyed such fighting, and occasionally he would agree to work for them, but it was always fleeting and he cared little about their wars. It was a much needed outlet but fighting was not truly who he was...afterall he was the literal embodiment of 'make love not war'. Now in Seattle, his anger simmered, he has found himself looking back to his old self. A job as an escort for [I]Illicit[/I] has proved both entertaining and successful. The gentlest touch of attraction or affection leading to many a happy client, men and women alike sinking into the charms of one who threatens to grasp their heart. But it is, and will always be, just an act. Cupid no longer sees true love on the cards for himself and is ill-inclined to offer it to others, for fear of what harm may come to him. For now he is content enough...though boredom and a desire for more, may inevitably change his mind.
