His large totem-like necklaces he always wears, the beeds around his wrists. Warm colors like orange and red and brown and sometimes even pink. He wears knit beanie caps, has too many pairs of sunglasses for his own good (all of them tinted a dark red violet).

And it all starts with his mother. The ever glamourous and equally unique, Priya. One of Bollywood's most iconic actresses. Her charm carried her through that tough world as a child actress, her edge when she was in her teens, and as it would follow, the overwhelming charm she had propelled her into a successful Hollywood career. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Priya, born Priya Singh, she comes from the ever famous Bollywood royalty family, The Singhs and always in that family, pressure to do well is the highest, but Priya never had to worry about that. She always held that calm approach by always knowing she would be fine. And maybe that's the sort of attitude that drew a certain god of wine and madness to her. See, Priya didn't know who he was when she met him. It wasn't like he knew who she was either. According to what Grover could recall, the meeting was an one-night stand. But one thing she always said is he never hid who he was. He introduced himself to her as Dionysus, but Priya figured he was some artist or actor like her who chose a one name stage name like Beyonce or Cher. She never thought he was [i]the[/i] Dionysus, Greek God of Wine and Madness and Theater. But for one night, Priya had her best night ever. He was charismatic, funny, and even though she knew her Jeremy got his hair from her, she was crazy - almost mad - about the curls. And she had one night and woke up with a note. "That was fun, Princess Priya. But I couldn't stay. Had to get back to my camp. You probably won't see me again for another 12 or 13 years. Tell our son about me and when he starts seeing funny letters, don't be alarmed of a goat man. Or woman. They'll help." She didn't really get it, but Priya laughed it off. Dionysus had always been one for his maddening ways of speaking. But as sure as she had loved that insane man...God, over a decade later, Priya Singh, who was now Priya Grover, the wife of a co-star she fell in love with, George Grover, was always looking for signs. She now lived in New Orleans and her son had started to show signs of her one-time lover. Not so much in how he looked - his hair was smooth and straight like hers, but she could see a wildness in his eyes. Something she remembered from that man. But then it started to happen. It was in small doses, but whenever Grover was in school (he would be twelve at this point), he started to experience a difficulty of how to read. First it was unable to focus, but he had always been like that so nobody really paid any attention, least of all his parents. He always was lax too, so when his grades went from a high c average to a high d average, disappointment happened but again, nobody really paid any mind. But then it became more. He started to see symbols. Odd symbols. Symbols that felt familiar to him. His history class was covering Ancient Greek and the Spartan War, so what he saw, what was written on the blackboard about the war, he saw it in ancient Greek lettering and he could understand some of it. This is when something miraculous happened. His childhood best friend, Raymond, who had always looked out for him, had done just that when a monster of some kind tried attacking Grover when they were walking home from school. A not so small bird...thing, a harpy, went to attack him, but Ray stopped them by jumping high and kicking them with his....goat feet? Hooves? Whatever they were, it allowed them to get to his home and Priya now understood everything Dionysus said in his note. And she had very little time to process, well EVERYTHING because then she understood what needed to happen. Or at least, after Raymond explained he was a Saytr - half goat, half man (goat bottom half) - Grover, Raymond, and with some help by Priya, went to New York and after one final run-in with a harpy but it was scared off by a...man-horse? Centaur. It was a Centaur named Chiron (Grover found this out later). His time spent at Camp Half-Blood was interesting to say the least. Over the years, he made friends, he found out who he was and what his destiny would be. He was the son of Dionysus...Mister D. The Greek God of Wine who, apparently in a rare moment of freedom that Zeus gave him, let him leave and go wherever he wanted. He ended up choosing LA and that's where he met Priya. His mother told him many times about his father but he just assumed it was someone who wasn't able to stick around. He knew his birth father was someone named Dionysus, but knowing it was [i]the[/i] Dionysus made Grover fix how he thought of the man. There were days where he was angry at him for not being there and then there were days where he talked to Dionysus. Being there, he had the rare opportunity of interacting with him, but Dionysus seemed to have little interest, but the last few years before Grover would age out, Dionysus warmed up to him. They shared conversations, even made some memories together. Dionysus was bound to Camp Half-Blood and couldn't have wine, but every now and then, Grover would help him get a few sips. Yeah that was a fun time that got Grover mess hall duties for seven season changes. So basically the remainder of his years there. Over the years, he met some incredible friends but one that probably was the best one was Eden Ashford. She was a year older than he was, but they had been and remain to be to this day close friends. She's a daughter of Aphrodite, so kinda went hand in hand. She was a demigoddess of love and all that shit and he was one of wine and madness. He was a little sad that his last year at Camp Half-Blood would be spent without her, but it wouldn't be long. When he turned 18, he too made the venture to New Rome. It was vastly different than anything he could have expected. It was majestic and had so much to offer. He made some friends and might've made a few enemies too, but for the most part, Grover has enjoyed being in New Rome. For the seven years he's been a New Roman, he's attended a few botany and business classes at NRU, found a nice-sized home with its own greenhouse and also managed to build and open a shop. A cannabis dispencery called "Grover's Glorious Ganja Goodies", a place where he puts his biggest passions of life: weed and talking to people (also white girl music). He has it playing in his store all the time. He grows his own weed that's powerful and has a nice funk to it. He also takes the oil from it and makes baked goodies in case some can't handle the stuff in its natural form. All in all, Grover likes it at New Rome. Will he ever go back to New Orleans? Maybe. He might leave one day and bring what he has learned to his mortal family. He visits as much as he can and always takes a few weeks off to do just that, but right now, he's happy with his life. Now if only he could get a Mrs. Grover...

Though it seems to be limited to grape and strawberry vines, he's been able to extend it to all natural forms of vines. [indent]πŸ‡ Vine Binding β€” A form of manipulating vines to suffocate someone until they pass out or to simply bind them to a wall so Grover doesn't get annoyed during his madness spiel.[/indent]πŸ‡ Madness Manipulation β€” Being the son of dionysus, Grover is not just capable at inducing and/or curing madness, but seems to be so proficient at it that he [i]becomes[/i] an avatar of madness when doing it for too long.[indent] πŸ‡ Induced Madness β€” Grover is able to, through extended periods of physical touch and the intent of doing so, induce madness into someone. This can take many forms: he can make them hear voices should he want to or simply make them unable to find peace and constantly be in an agitated state (or as a side effect of making them hear voices). πŸ‡ Curing Madness β€” Grover can also do the opposite. He can cure the madness in someone with extended touch, but the side effect of this, as it is not a fully mastered power (and never will be) is the madness meter in his head will eventually reach maximum and actually cause madness in him for a temporary amount of time. Usually a full night's sleep or any 8 hour span.[/indent]πŸ‡ Alcokinesis β€” The most used power of his, as it has many uses, Grover can generate alcohol at any given moment's notice (within a reasonable timescale). Wine is easier, of course, but he's learned to apply it into other forms like vodka, tequila, mead, beer, etc. [indent]πŸ‡ Alcohol Transformation β€” He has the ability to turn anything of a natural form (has to be non-living like a cup or food) into alcohol. Wine is easiest, but other alcohol applies too. πŸ‡ Alcohol/Drink Conjuration β€” He can make alcohol appear in an empty cup whenever he wants. Wine is his go to but he also has learned to make Dr. Pepper and cocktails appear.[/indent] [/indent] [color=c48686][b]Legacy:[/b][/color] [indent][url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FP0mwQBXoAIG_Vy.jpg:large]Balarama, Hindu God of strength, shepherds, plowing, and agriculture[/url][/indent] [color=c48686][sub][b]Legacy Abilities:[/b][/sub][/color] [indent]πŸ‡ Green Thumb β€” Grover has a magic touch whenever it comes to crops and farming and harvesting and growing his own collection of natural herbs. Balarama gifted him with both a literal green thumb, as well as a metaphorical one. He can't make it happen automatically because the harvest doesn't work like that, but what he can do is guarantee himself the perfect harvest with crops so bountiful that it will feed him for however long he needs it to and a selection of the best weed that will guarantee the greatest and most perfect high.[/indent] [color=c48686][sub][b]Former Cabin[/b][/sub][/color] [indent]Cabin 12, Dionysus[/indent] [color=c48686][sub][b]Years of Attendance at Camp Half-Blood[/b][/sub][/color] [indent]7 years = 7 beads[/indent] [color=c48686][b]Fatal Flaw:[/b][/color] [indent]Multitasking and Madnessβ€” True to his nature of madness and naivity and the generousity and interests of his, Grover can take on too much than his minimal focus can handle. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can get overwhelming and a thing to understand about this eccentric son of Mister D, when he gets overwhelmed, the madness starts to consume him. He gets erratic instead of eccentric. He hypervenaltes and tends to lose sight of anything. Might even go on a bender for a few days without even realizing just how much of a bender it really is. In short, too many tasks make Grover exe stop responding.[/indent] [color=c48686][b]Weapons:[/b][/color] [indent]πŸ‡ [url=https://i.imgur.com/aN4Xhtx.jpeg]The Thyrsus (Or a version of it)[/url] β€” Unclear if it's the same one or simply one Dionysus had made that's appropriate for a Demigod, but regardless, Grover has his own Thyrsus, a staff carved from an enchanted tree. A pinecone sits upon the top of it, colored light pink and tassels of vines hang from the top. πŸ‡ [url=https://i.imgur.com/cOqqZJJ.jpeg]Shaksal[/url] - Unlike the sorta-kinda divine nature of his staff, this item [i]is[/i] divine and comes from Balarama. It is, in its sealed form, a simple handle of deep sienna, but when pressure is applied to the side, it meets the desire of Grover. In truth, it is a multi-purposed tool for harvest and farming, for growing the perfect crop. At times it can take the form of a rake, at others a plow, or a shovel, or a hoe. It also hold magical properties that ensure the perfect line drawn. [/indent] [color=c48686][b]Misc Information:[/b][/color] [indent]πŸ‡ White Girl music is right up his alley. Paramore, Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift, Michelle Branch - all of them and more are on his playlist so much that whenever he hosts a party (which is often) he throws it into the mix. Sometimes that IS the mix. πŸ‡ Owns a cannabis shop, which is also his own greenhouse called [b]"Grover's Glorious Ganja Goodies"[/b], a shop devoted to the best weed. He grows it himself (and to order), he bakes and makes edibles for those not willing to smoke it, and ensures the price is well worth the high. πŸ‡ Grover is intensely spiritual. It is not tied to any specific religion because he believes in many religious but stays away from the religious aspect. He practices hinduism, buddhaism, shintoism, Christianity and Catholicism, Paganism - whatever feels like it can give him answers to the questions he seeks. He doesn't limit himself. πŸ‡ Grover has ADHD, much like most (if not all) Demigods have πŸ‡ Speaks fluent indian (most dialects), Spanish, Italian, Greek, and some ancient latin (he can understand it though) πŸ‡ Has a 2-3 hour morning routine for just his looks alone. He takes great pride in it πŸ‡ His favorite beverage, right next to sweet Greek wine, is Dr. Pepper. OG and Cherry only. πŸ‡ His green thumb allows him a perfect harvest, so Grover loves to cook (though he isn't as good as the Meatmaster 6000 himself, Rex) πŸ‡ Laughs at his own madness sometimes (and sometimes it's [i]because[/i] of his own madness that he laughs) and this includes while around others, so many think he's a little crazy (and maybe that's a lil true) πŸ‡ Doesn't like training as much as some of his fellow greeks do, but he enjoys the entertainment held at the Colleseeum (especially when it's a no shirts kind of entertainment. Cheers!) πŸ‡ Lives in a home, two storied at that with 3 rooms and 3 baths. πŸ‡ Meditates all the time. It helps relax him and he even works in yoga into it to diversify it. πŸ‡ [url=https://cdn.britannica.com/36/218136-050-DD312114/bobcat-lync-rufus.jpg]Mango, the Bobcat[/url] is his pride and joy.
