[Varos Talantos]

Aine Erotes Goddess of Love Aine Erotes is the Goddess of Love, Lust, Debauchery, Beauty and Marriage. She is often seen meddling with the affairs of the human world. She enjoys playing with emotions, and sometimes inspires infidelity but also sometimes inspires true everlasting love. Aine is a Goddess whom represents both aspects of the emotion of love, purity and lust. She encourages both, whichever that may apply to a person. If she sees a corrupted unloving marriage, she finds it offensive, and encourages the partners to cheat, before eventually exposing them as to end the offending marriage. This double-sided Goddess is a strange one. In one context, she is a goddess of prostitutes; in another, she turns the hearts of men and women from sexual vice to virtue. It is said she has always been active in the lives of the mortals, blessing the Air Elementals with their ability to shift into her sacred Pegasus.

The Beautiful have been marked with a tattoo of a red rose. Their looks are increased tenfold, but they are not always the same. They have the choice that their appearance may always appear to be what beauty is to the beholder. Anyone who sees a Beautiful would instantly see what they believe are the most beautiful traits a person could have. Several people might see a Beautiful at once, and each would see a different face.

They have the benefits of the prior tiers and have the ability to see through masks and falsities. They have the ability to see the true emotions of any person, no matter how hidden they try to keep them.

Everlasting - The fourth tier of official favor has been gained from Aine Erotes. They have been marked with a tattoo of Ouroboros, a snake eating it’s own tail. They have the benefits attained at the prior three tiers, and the ability to live forever. Their lifespan is increased, becoming immortal and everlasting. They will forever be young in body. Note that only their lifespan is increased, the Everlasting may still succumb to death by the hand of others, simply not the death of old age. Venus - The fifth and final tier of official favor has been gained from Aine Erotes. Those whom have reached the tier of ‘Venus’ have been marked with a tattoo of a beautifully elegant golden bow with an arrow. They have the benefits attained at the prior four tiers and the ability of perfect aim. Each arrow or throw is guided by the hand of Aine to always reach their mark. One must simply think of the target and concentrate on it before letting the object fly. This can be tricky, for simply thinking of ‘the heart’ will not necessarily hit the heart of your enemy, but perhaps the one they love most, or another person’s heart. The Venus are the beloved of Aine Erotes and killing one could bring on the wrath of Aine Erotes herself. Extreme caution should be taken if you find yourself at odds with a Venus.
