About the Mun

Hello all! My name is Jen and I am so happy to have found this roleplay! I live in bumfuck Indiana where theres corn fields as far as the eye can see. Most of my time is spent playing video games like animal crossing and MMORPGS like WoW, SWTOR, and GW2. I’m a sucker for games that have choices in them so I can craft the character as I see fit! Apollo/Erik is a muse that I don’t often have as I tend to play muses that are pretty close to my own personality, but he just blossomed in my head and I couldn’t not play him! But without further ado here’s a little intro about Erik.

About the Muse

Info

Erik has lived on Kaos his whole life alongside his twin sister Juliet, and his parents though they were mostly absent. Their family wasn’t a bad one growing per say, but he always felt like he was walking on eggshells and often kept his feelings inside. Jules and him took care of each other with his twin taking on an older sister role despite only being like a few minutes older than him. 

The only time he left Kaos was when he went to medical school in Athens to get his degree in nursing. He would have gone to UofK however he had gotten a full scholarship to the university he went to. Erik now works at a small local hospital in his hometown where he tends to work long days and late nights.

He lives with his twin sister Juliet. It just seemed like common sense and Erik truthfully couldn’t imagine not being around his sister 24/7. Being a definite morning person grates on Jules but he just laughs it off. Until someone starts throwing stuff at him.  

Despite his desire to help those who are in need and a job that reflects that, Erik has always wished to become a musician. His first guitar was given to him by an old flame of his that had passed away not long after. Though it is worn Erik refuses to get rid of it and get a newer one. He practices in the early light of dawn before he heads into work, on his days off he goes to different locales on the island and plays on the bustling cobblestone streets. 

Erik is an energetic person that borders on the aggravating. It’s hard to bring him down, his smiles are warmer than the sun and one can’t help but find themselves filled to the brim with some sense of brightness. 

However Erik is also the guy that falls hard and falls often yet has bad luck when it comes to relationships. He is persistent to the point that women and men have knocked him out but he never seems to learn his lesson. His one good relationship ended abruptly when they passed away.

Erik is very overprotective of his sister and of his close friends. Though his protectiveness over Jules borders on the insane as he has said that he would do literally anything for her and hurt anyone who hurt her. (Though tbh Jules can whoop ass just fine and doesn’t need Erik getting in her way.

Fell for hi best friend, Lily/Hestia. He was very forward and confessed to her, but she friend-zoned him. While he isn’t mad about her keeping him as a friend his feelings are hard to ignore so he has been distancing himself from her. Often making excuses that he has work.

Relationships/Connections

Parents; He is very indifferent towards his parents. While he didn’t have a bad childhood Erik still feels anger for how being around them felt like he was a performing monkey. He does not visit them if he can avoid it.

Close Friends; Erik makes friends easily and some who are definitely unlikely companions. His sunny disposition, jovial attitude is both a source of annoyance and a wanted feeling. He’s like a puppy who tore up your shoes but you can’t stay mad at him cause he’s just too cute.

Past Romantic Relationships; He has had a lot of these! Some were mostly flings not every serious in the least and some were such a deep love that some of them have lefts scars on his heart! He’s not a perfect man, Erick has bad luck with love so most of his romantic relationships end abruptly and his longest one was roughly two years. (I know Erik has a few established connections that are either platonic or romantic so def dm me so we can plot how Erik made them crash and burn!)

Enemies; Despite his jovial attitude and overall friendly demeanor even Erik as people he hates, and those who hate him for one reason or another. He doesn’t really give them the time of day since he doesn’t have a lot of off hours to spend and doesn’t want to waste the energy, so he will give them the cold shoulder should he have to be around them.

Misc Headcanons

His favorite foods are sweets: like sweet breads and hard candies, Knäckebröd: which is a swedish crisp bread, Gubbröra: which is a swedish egg-anchovy salad, and he also enjoys gyros! He's not a big meat eater so he enjoys foods that have more vegetables.

He normally works at the hospital during the day, but works double shifts when summer starts.
