IN-GAME RELATIONSHIPS
Orchid - (Currently an NPC); Eros met this young doe after first becoming a Renegade, and she made him feel in a way that no one ever had before. Though he never told her, he loved her deeply and passionately, and would have followed her across the Earth if she'd only let him, but she broke off their relationship without a word, and he hasn't seen her since. Though Eros hasn't exactly been searching for her, he does occasionally wonder if she might be nearby... Or even still alive.
Lelouch - It was a fast friendship for Eros and this pale stag. Lelouch's warm and gentle personality made an instant impression on Eros, who was attracted to him as well as curious. In no time at all, the two became traveling buddies and Eros is grateful to have his friendship. Though Lelouch isn't with him all day every day, Eros definitely considers him a long-term companion.
Dove - Eros met this Blackwood doe by accident when she snuck up on him. She tried to use her enthralling magic to enchant him but he was suspicious of her, so refused her advances... He tried to be polite and told a little white lie so he wouldn't hurt her feelings or anger her, but she could tell that he was lying, and things went downhill very quickly from there. She became violent and chased him all over creation, thus molding Eros' hesitation towards full blooded Blackwoods. He is terrified of her, to say the least, and was grateful when she finally left him alone.

DETAILS
PERSONALITY: Gentle. Above all else, he is kind, accepting, and courteous. Despite his size and Blackwood-cross lineage, he has never liked to fight, and will only do so if it is absolutely necessary for his own safety, or someone else's. He was really only decent as a Guard because his loyalty to his herd pushed him to do what he had to to protect it. He is honest to everyone, and sees no reason to lie, and in his mind nothing good can possible come from doing so. Though his own feelings aren't easily hurt, he does care deeply for someone else's, even if they don't have a close relationship. Eros will often go out of his way to help someone or make them feel better, even if they don't show him any gratitude. If he ever feels that he has hurt someone, he will usually do anything he can to improve that and prove to them that he is sorry and will do everything he can to make things better.
As of the Year 762, Eros will be looking for others who have been banished or left their herds, or never had a herd or family in the first place. He hates being alone, and would like it a lot if others would join him. They could travel together, either permanently or temporarily. Joining him does not have to be a long-term commitment; your Fawnling still has the freedom to do as they please, they will just not be alone. By joining him, you are entering an agreement to look out for each other and be friends- that doesn't mean you have to love him, and you don't have to get along perfectly, but anyone who joins him will have to be willing to communicate. If you wish to leave, you can do so at any time (though let him know, otherwise if you disappear he will worry himself sick looking for you lol).
APPEARANCE: Eros is large and intimidating until you realize how much of a big, harmless softy he is. His coat is dark thanks to his parents, and he gets his enormous stature from his Blackwood father. Since leaving Glenmore, he has let his mane and tail grow out, and years of living in rough conditions and having mostly no one around, has caused his hair to tangle and become quite curly. His rack is thick and spreads out into many upwards-facing tines, two of which curve out from his forehead. His eyes are always gentle and light, and his expression is often open and inviting.
HISTORY:
The Beginning:
Eros' mother, Abigail, was a dark-coated Commoner who did not socialize much. She was a skilled herbalist thanks to her Earth Magic, and she helped those when they needed it, but she did not go out of her way to make a place for herself in the herd or make tons of friends. In fact, she lived mostly on the outskirts where royalty seldom ventured. She wasn't exactly well liked except by her Commoner acquaintances and family, but the herd tolerated her because she was still pure-blooded despite her undesirable color and low status. In years before, she had tried to have fawns, but she always either miscarried early in the pregnancy, or the fawns were sickly and did not live long. This was largely due to her own poor health. Because she was, for the most part, an outsider, it made it pretty easy for Eros' father to come into her life...
Ern was a Raider from Blackwood who was attracted to Abigail for her dark coat and useful Earth magic. He attempted to coax her into leaving and joining him in Blackwood, but her usually-poor health combined with her hesitance to leave the only home she'd ever known, resulted in her remaining in Glenmore but soon pregnant with his fawn. Though he left, never even entertaining the idea of not living in his Blackwood home, she did not think badly of him for not staying. He visited her during her pregnancy, but soon after having Eros, she stopped hearing from him, part of her assuming he had either died or moved on...
Eros was born, and it was a difficult labor. He was unusually large due to his Blackwood sire, but both mother and son survived without lasting injuries. He was technically her only child.
The Middle:
Abigail loved her son with all her heart and soul, but she wanted him to have a better life than what she had had so far. She didn't want him to be alone on the outskirts of a herd who didn't really care about him. Knowing that his crossbred bloodlines already put him at a major disadvantage, especially considering it was Blackwood, she raised him and taught him to be the absolute best that he could be: caring, helpful, responsible, honorable, accepting, open-minded, and loyal. Many royals who knew his family didn't care for him, but those that did not know his exact origins soon befriended him. Because he was dark and handsome and strong, for the most part life in Glenmore wasn't too bad. His mother persuaded him to join the Guard as soon as he was old enough so that he could make a name for himself in the herd and secure his own place. Even though Eros never liked to fight, even if it was just for training, the idea of protecting his home and loved ones convinced him. He immediately fit in well with the other cadets, doing his best to make friendships and train hard and help others. Despite soon forming relationships and doing well through training, however, the aversion he had to confrontation never changed. In fact, it only seemed to get worse the longer he was a Guard, and he preferred to be on herd duty making sure none of the royals argued among themselves rather than border patrol, considering he didn't like to fight and especially wouldn't want to harm a Blackwood, since he was half Blackwood himself and had no issue with them or any other herd. But because of his strength and size, his leaders desired to have him protecting the "borders" and making sure no one was trespassing into Glenmore...
The End: Eros and a fellow Guard member were sent closer to Blackwood to make sure no Raiders were attempting to get into Glenmore. Normally the patrols resulted in seeing nothing out of the ordinary, maybe a false alarm or two, but on this occasion they crossed paths with an old Blackwood stag sneaking around. Eros' partner immediately jumped into action and went to attack the stranger, but Eros stopped him before any harm could be dealt. A small voice in the back of his mind wondered if this stag could be his father? He thought they resembled each other, having the same faint markings and antler structure. Eros only knew his father's name and had a vague description of what he had looked like, but Eros had never met him. What if this old Blackwood stag was him..? But before Eros could even question the trespasser, the Blackwood hurled himself at Eros' distracted partner, wounding him badly. Suddenly fearing the worst and knowing it was his own fault for throwing himself in the middle and trying to stop his partner, Eros fought the Blackwood off. He tried to help his partner back to the safety of the herd, but his injuries killed him before they could make it back home...
The Trial: Even though Eros was well known to the herd as a gentle giant and had never caused any problems before this, the fact that he had thrown his duty as a Guard to the wayside, having his partner killed in the process, could not be ignored. As soon as his lineage was publicly confronted, many in the herd accused him of being a Blackwood sympathizer, a traitor, and maybe even a spy. Because suddenly everyone was questioning his true motives, he was held under guard so there would be no chance of him escaping. His mother, old and frail by this time, was not allowed to see him. She pleaded on his behalf, bringing up the fact that he had never caused any trouble or harmed anyone before this. At first, the punishment of being Tainted and living on the outskirts was pondered, but the old doe knew that such a life of judgement and disdain and loneliness would not be good for her son. At least outside of the herd, he would have a chance for a new life where his past was not known. She managed to persuade the lords and other royals to lean towards banishment, but her health declined farther and it wasn't long before she passed away from the stress, worry, and illnesses that had always plagued her. His mother's death hit Eros like a freight train. When he was banished from the safety of the herd and was marked a traitor to Glenmore, he hardly cared. Without the only family he'd ever known, he didn't really have ties to Glenmore any longer...
The Aftermath: Eros wandered for a long time, neither here nor there. He remained isolated for the most part, existing in his memories and deeply regretting everything that had happened. Though he wasn't sorry for not fighting, he would have done anything to have his mother back. Her death practically killed him.
For a short time, he skittered along the edges of Blackwood, never delving too deep, entertaining the slim chance that somehow he might find his father and would get back some of what he had lost. No one he crossed paths with ever held the possibility though. It took several years for him to get used to being alone and fending for himself, and for him to get over what had happened. His size and strength helped, but he still struggled at first. Above all, he swore to himself that he would never become angry or mean. His love and gentle nature was what his mother had taught him, and he would not allow himself to lose that part of her.
As the years passed, he got used to life as a Renegade and has now made the most of it. He met a gorgeous little lady named Orchid, who was also a Renegade out of Glenmore. He fell in love with her, but she broke it off without looking back. He still holds a soft spot for her, but has not tried to find her again. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. In the mean time, he is friendly and always searching for a companion to make his solitude more bearable. He is equally accepting of everyone, from every herd, status, and background. Eros still refuses to ever fight or argue unless it is for his own defense and his safety and health depends on it. In the present time, he is looking for more outsiders, wanderers, or Renegades to join him on his adventures around the Isle!
