'''General Overview:''' The God of Hate & Jealousy, he is the illegitimate son of Aphrodite and Ares, though he was tossed to Tartarus and raised by his Uncle, Hades, by Aphrodite with little explanation. He learned healing through his friend Asclepius when he was Guardian of Lamark, but was later ordered by Hades to destroy the city and kill all inhabitants, which he did. It was later revealed by Aphrodite to Eros, that Dinlas and Eros, were actually twins, as Hate and Love are often two sides of the same coin.

'''Seed of Jealousy.''' Dinlas feels like he is always in a competition with his brothers, Phobos and Deimos, specifically when around Ares, his father. If he cared about her opinion, this jealousy would likely spread to his twin Eros as he’s their mother’s favorite, but she’s a cold hearted bitch and he couldn’t care less about her opinion.

'''Damsels in Distress.''' This doesn’t just apply to young women.

'''WYSIWYG.''' What You See Is What You Get. Dinlas appears the same and does not shift form or shape. Hate always appears the same. Because he remains constant in a shifting world of deceptions and perceptions, Dinlas can typically tell instinctively when someone is attempting to deceive him.

'''Battle Wound Healing.''' Dinlas was once the Guardian of the city of Lamark, where wounded warriors were healed. There he learned healing from the master healer, Asclepius himself. Though Dinlas cannot heal disease, he can heal any wound received in battle through both magical and physiological means. The use of the magical aspect of these healing skills does present a drain on Dinlas’ energy, while the physiological does not.

Dinlas is the illegitimate son of Aphrodite and Ares, and twin brother to Eros, The God of Love. Aphrodite rejected him and cast him out of Olympus. Some say because he was the only male, god or mortal, that she seemed unable to manipulate, even as a child. Others say his hate and anger were simply too incompatible with her nature. He ended up in The Underworld where his Uncle Hades took pity on him and let him stay there. Dinlas grew up angry and alone. In time Hades realized the anger and hate in him so he sent him to the mortal world to be the Guardian of Lamark. Lamark was an ancient city where warriors would go to heal after battle. Dinlas grew to love the city and was close to Asclepius one of the chief healers.

Introduction by Scribe

Welcome to my corner, my little piece of the pie located in the shadows with jealousy and hatred. Places a cigarette between his lips. Don’t pity me. I like it here. It helps me stay sharp. You see, I accept my flaws, in fact, I think they make me stronger than some of my counterparts. Most tend to ignore their weaknesses, only focus on their strengths, well that isn’t me at all. Ignites a match with his thumb and lights his cigarette.

My jealousy motivates me and my hatred fuels me. Smoke pours from his mouth. It took me a long time to understand that and even longer to accept it, but once I did, the world became my oyster. Recently, I decided to leave the giant shadow cast by my family to find myself. Now, I’m not saying I don’t know who I am. Of course I do. I’m Dinlas. Takes a long drag.

I just thought it was time for me to get out, stretch my legs a bit, and see what’s out there. I’ve been stuck around the people and things I hate so much for so long, it began to wear too heavily on my mind. My mind is too good of a thing to allow it go to waste. Pours whiskey into a glass.

You see, I have plans, I have visions of a better life, it’s not my fault nobody cares to listen. It angers me when my brothers get all the attention. Why should they get everything handed to them? I lived this way for more years than I can begin to count and decided rather than ask for the attention I deserve, I’ll put myself to work to induce action. Now, action is what gets results. Takes a drink with the cigarette positioned in the corner of his mouth. I plan to walk amongst the mortals. See all I can see. Experience all I can experience. My only regret is that my feelings of jealousy and hate will follow. They are my companions...my friends… my demons. Takes another drag, blowing the smoke from his nostrils.

Jealousy and hatred tend to bring out the worst in people when they’re around me. I feel them constantly and have learned how to live with them, but I fear others have not. When these emotions are felt, most bury their heads in the sand or turn a blind eye to what’s right in front of them. That only makes them more powerful.

If I am to be what I need to be for my father and what I need to be for me, then I must embark on this journey alone.

Until then, my companions and I will travel the roads less traveled on our way to victory.

I hope you all enjoy the ride. We certainly will. Smiles, takes the final drag of his cigarette, and flicks it forward.
