hermaphroditus.the myth;
» God(dess): Hermaphroditus
» Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphroditus
» Family: {mother & father} Hermes and Aphrodite
{spouse} Salmacis, sort of, but no external spouse
» Played By: Jaye Davidson
» Human Alias: Hermia Dite
» Human Age: Early twenties
» God of...: Hermaphrodites
» Flair: Can bring out masculine qualities in women and feminine qualities in men.
» Weakness: Hermaphroditus is, first and foremost, physically weak. He was unable to break away from Salmacis’s grip way back when, and isn’t much stronger now. On top of this, she is a horrible fighter, and so on top of being weak, what muscle she has would be used badly in any attempt to defend himself. Hermaphroditus is also very gullible, and it wouldn’t take much wit to trick him into walking into a trap or helping the very people who would wish to harm her or those he cares about.
» Fitting in: Drag performer
» Personality: Hermaphroditus’s personality is a blend of his own and that of Salmacis. He is no longer afraid of sex, nor blushes at the slightest proposition, and she no longer leaps on those she desires and attempts to rape them. As one, they have found balance in their sexuality, flirting, seducing even, but capable of self restraint when need be. In this balance, Hermaphroditus has learned to find comfort. While initially he was angry at his transformation, she grew used to it. It defined his place amongst the gods, a place no others had. Granted, it was not a place of the same reverence and power as the others had, but Hermaphroditus was never the ambitious sort and simply enjoys the reverence and purpose she can find.
Hermaphroditus is also not quite as gullible as he once was, though still can be misled. However, if something is too obviously a lie, such as someone known to lust after her claiming they will not look if he undresses right in front of them, he will realize that this might not be true. However, any lie of much more intricacy will still work.
Loyalty is important to Hermaphroditus, particularly loyalty toward family. She feels that they care for him and look out for her, even if some gods did grant Salmacis’s wish, for his parents granted his wish as well. He will do anything within her power to aid family, as well as hermaphrodites, transsexuals, transvestites or drag queens, all of whom she has been defining as part of his domain.
Hermaphroditus is far from aggressive, and will prefer to share sexual innuendo, take care of small, cute animals, and try on clothes and make-up than getting into a fight. She is aware that when it comes to physical strength or fighting ability, he is lacking, and dislikes violence. He will also lie her way out of trouble if a fight seems imminent. However, she is willing to stand up for herself and those she cares about in whatever manner necessary if need be.
Hermaphroditus enjoys dancing and singing, both of which he does when she performs.
He also gets bored with things staying the same too long, which was why he wandered off and encountered the nymph Salmacis in the first place. She has not learned to do any different with time.
» Sample Journal: Stupid grouchy old man. I didn’t even have anything to do with what happened to him, and he deserved it anyway for trying to eat his own babies. Why would someone want to eat their own babies?
This isn’t so bad, though. I never really had that much power to begin with so there wasn’t much of a loss there, and I was getting kind of bored. You guys might have been sick of everyone bugging you for everything, but even at my peak I never had that. I’m curious to see what happens down here. Besides, they have things called ‘drag shows’, where people dress up as the opposite sex and perform. It sounds like my kind of thing.
» Sample Roleplay: Hermia Dite, the young ladyman performing at various clubs as the single cutest drag queen in town, an individual once known as Hermaphroditus, had found a song. A very fun song. A song that made her snicker to himself as she sat alone in the room on his newly purchased laptop. It was the best song ever!
“She’s part girl, she’s part boy, she’s got parts everyone can enjoy...” he sang softly to herself, grinning.
He would have to sing this at his new job sometime. It was too good to pass up and hey...it was about her, right? Granted, the singer didn’t know she was real, but he figured that gave her some sort of rights to it. It wasn’t completely accurate, but to Hermaphroditus, the sentiment was all that mattered.
“She’s my little girl, she’s my little guy...”
Then a thought occurred to him. It wasn’t just a great song. It was a great song she had to share! Right that moment. Jumping off his bed, still laughing, she hurried out of her room to his father’s room, knocking on the door energetically.
