Full Name: Heracles Karpusi
Gender: Of the masculine persuasion.
Age: Early twenties.
Hometown: Born in Athens, Greece. Moved with his to New York when she took her job with the Museum.
Personality:
Heracles is a typical student - a hardcore partier, camping out in a pokey wee flat (with an extremely suspicious landlord), living off cheese on toast and working ten extra jobs just to pull it off. Although he looks tired and dopey, if you provoke him he has bit of a temper. He's so laid back he's horizontal, and never makes anything in time, despite the dozen odd watches he's been given with meaningful looks.
He likes eating out and trying foreign food, as well as music gigs and generally spending money.
With a strict upbringing, he's quite serious (and proud) but very friendly to all, and overtly curious about other peoples' buisness. He might look intimidating, but he's actually very sweet and soppy and cries at disney movies.
He adores his mother Arista, even if she babies and embarasses him in front of others and he feels he doesn't know enough about her. He feels guilty that his birth stopped her from pursuing her dreams, and though he loves her work just as much as she does, he doesn't take the mantle up lest she feels bitter.
Looks and Appearance:
To elaborate, Heracles has shaggy brown hair and olive skin, and has the easy, natural build of someone who gets their muscles from honest work - no gym involved, but he does eat like a horse. He hates the rain, as it messes up his hair. He usually just slouches about in a uniform of tee shirts, slacks and sneakers, and the mop usually just has a hand run through it and nothing else. A silver crucifix is hidden under his shirt, but other than that he doesn't wear any other ornaments.
Interests: Heracles was brought up to love history and philosophy (as well as debating), but also has a sneaky little thing for classical theatre and athletics (though, unusually, he's good at basketball and football). He holds an odd, almost magnetic attraction to cats, and likes little kids.
When in a museum, what do they do?: Usually head straight to his mother's office after classes to check if she's there, then hang about the staff room. Other than that, see below.
Are they still in school? If so, what grade?: Nope, but he's currently studying in college, doing part time work in zookeeping under Antonio, and lends his muscles as a labourer, lifting and moving paintings, artefacts, restaurant food and anything else where needed.
Fears:
- Being alone, and being unable to protect those close to him - fairly typical ( especially for a greek), but heightened by the fact he was often alone when his mother was away. He feels that he has a responsibilty to protect those he loves with his body.
- has a silly little thing about being too far away from the ocean, which reminds him of his homeland, where he dreams of returning.
- Earthquakes
-Being broke
Other:
- Incredibly patriotic, he is fiercely proud of his Greek heritage, and won't compromise on it for anyone.
- His Albanian friend is currently crashing on his couch and eating all the food, which irritates him.
- Heracles would never admit it, but he actually loves Turkish food - in particular the desserts.
- Angry at his (unknown) father, as he hold very traditional views and thinks he should have looked out for her.
- Secretly adores Louis de Bernieres' work.
- He's an awful driver.
