In many ways, Manny is the polar opposite of his sister. Whereas she is reserved, he's boisterous, where she is calm, he's hot headed. To be honest, he hardly suits his role as a son of Hestia, where the children are typically mellow. One would more see him as a child of Dionysus, or Apollo, where the loud and socially adept tend to be prosperous. He is confidant and bold, with a friendly nature that makes him rather easy to approach. He is kind, but more confrontational thatn Eliane, and is not above starting a fight if he believes that the one he is directing his disdain towards deserves it. That being said, he isn't a huge fan of fighting and such, and prefers battles of snark to the exchanging of punches. Perhaps that is simply because he isn't all that brilliant at the latter. When it comes to romance, Emmanuel tends to be a little more awkward, and his crushes tend to from him, receive awkward compliments and shy flirtations as opposed to smooth and charismatic smooth talk. Suffice to say, one would never mistake him for a child of Aphrodite. He is brave and reckless, tending to lack his sister's tendency to think before she acts, instead leaping into situations head first without considering the consequences, and he carries the typical Cloutier trait of being extremely protective of that which he is close to, the most obvious example being his sister. He is a little geeky, like Eliane, with a habit of spouting general knowledge when he runs out of things to say (although with him, such a thing is rare), and rarely bothering to hide his fascination with something in order to retain his 'cool' factor. He is a likeable individual, and back home, he had quite a vast social circle, but his hot-headedness and sharp tongue also earned him a fair few enemies as well, teachers included. He is rebellious, and hates being told what he can and cannot do, and doesn't like to sit still for too long, both do to his lack of patience and his ADHD.
LIKES:
✔Parties; Nothing like a good old rave to make you forget about everything that's bothering you.
✔His Sister; He and Elle are very close, and he is fiercely protective of her. Basically, future boyfriends of Eliane, beware.
✔Music; He likes his music loud, and his favourites tend to be those that are made to be played as such, including The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Queen.
✔Food; If there is one thing that Emmanuel always has, it's an appetite. And he's not fussy, either.
✔His Powers; Ah, it is good being a demigod.
✔Candles; Don't ask why, he just does.
DISLIKES:
✖Bullies; What even is their point?
✖Sitting Still; Perhaps it's his ADHD, but Manny isn't all that great at staying in the same place for a long period of time.
✖Rules and Regulations; There's something about being told what not to do that just makes Manny want to do it more.
✖Being the 'New Kid'; And now, this year, he's got to do it all over again. Great.
✖Sports; Manny isn't really the 'jock' type, despite what some people assume. He can run, but that's it.
✖Being Embarrassed; This happens rarely, but when it does, Manny isn't all that great at handling it.
FEARS:
☠Death; Naturally.
☠Losing His Sister and Father; As much as he might tease the former, she's easily the person he holds most dear.
☠Being Insignificant; Perhaps his biggest fear, Manny wants to be remembered. He wants to have done something worth noting when he finally bites the dust.
☠Spiders; Urgh. Just urgh.
Father | Geraud Cloutier | 43 | Alive | Although he is the typical, rebellious teen, Manny still loves his old man. They are constantly one upping each other in battles of sarcasm, and it can be somewhat entertaining to watch.
Twin Sister | 17 | Alive | Manny is super close to his "baby sis", and although they are always bickering, he'd still pummel anyone that messed with her. Not that she'd appreciate it.
RELATIONSHIP WITH GODLY PARENT:
(Some Deities revisit their children over the years, and some just seem to ignore of forget their very existences, here you can detail just how much of a relationship you have with your Godly parent.)
BIOGRAPHY:
Manny's father often describes his mother as 'a dizzy daydream that I fell into somewhat inconveniently, but I can never make myself regret'. Manny and his twin sister were born in the spare bedroom of their current home, a two-storey house located in a village not far from Paris, France, that he and his sister affectionately refer to as the 'Nest'. Manny was born first, exiting the womb precisely three minutes and twelve seconds before Eliane, although he never fails to refer to himself as the eldest sibling. Hestia remained with them for two months following their birth, before leaving the small family, and behind her a letter for the siblings to open on their sixteenth birthday. It was in this letter that she told them of their heritage, something that they all struggled to believe, until certain sparks of evidence, such as her brother setting fire to a teacher (accidentally, of course), Eliane somehow healing her sprained ankle, and finally, an enormous beast with the body of a man and the head of a bull breaking down the door of their beloved nest and attempting to eat the pair of demigods alive.
Suffice to say, they were eventually convinced.
It was only at the age of seventeen that they were sent to attend Aeonis, with their father deciding, shortly after Manny's expulsion (for the fire incident), that it would indeed be best that they have a fresh start, and learn to control their abilities, as well as how to defend themselves from the mythical beasts that seem to crave demigod flesh more than any other.
Thus, here they are, the new kids.
FAVORITE POWER:
To be honest, Manny kind of loves his powers. All of 'em. However, his key favourites would have to be:
Changing Appearance and Age; Just the perfect little party trick to get past those pesky bouncers, or order a drink from a bar without having to show one's ID.
Manipulating Memory; For all those times when he did something he shouldn't have. However, he's not quite perfected this ability yet, and so the memory tends to come back after anything from a couple of hours to a couple of days. He's never used it on his sister or father, though.
Limited Control of Fire; Now this is a good party trick.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Fluent in French
One of his embarrassed tics is biting his lip, and another is scratching the back of his neck or head
