- The Twilight Saga, he’s read the books and does not understand what the fuss is about.
Personality: Ezra is a true son of Aphrodite. In addition, before you think this is all about bunnies, sunshine, and rainbows, you and can just go ahead a think again. Bunnies and sunshine belong more to Demeter and last time anybody checked, Iris was the goddess of rainbows. Love has many facets, both the good and the bad and at this age, Ezra tends more towards the grey areas more then anything.
First and foremost, he is vain. Ezra’s the type of boy who knows that he is good looking. He’s also the type of boy who will use his good looks as if it were a weapon and in Ezra’s hands, it’s a weapon of mass destruction, more often then not. He can’t resist checking his reflection in a mirror or any kind of reflective surface and is just the type to hem and haw for hours in front of his wardrobe before he picks out the right outfit for the day. Ezra goes to great lengths to maintain the messy I-just-don’t-care look that he has going.
He is also a huge flirt. Ezra loves attention and has the capacity to look and act as cute as a kitten around someone he has his sights on. With his targets, he’ll act as if they’re the only one in the world that he wants to be with though it’s usually just an act. Love is a fickle thing and like the cat, Ezra just likes to play with his food before he eats them.
Ezra also has a tendency to be very jealous of the things that he considers his. It is because of this that he does not have a good relationship with his stepmother. He often views her and his stepbrother as attempting to steal away his father’s love for him. He can also be possessive with his material things and does not really share well with others unless he trusts them.
However, all of the above aside, Ezra’s not a bad person to count as a friend. In fact, he is very social and makes friends rather easily. He has a tendency to look out for those he calls friends as well. And if all else fails he’s just an all round cheerful guy and great to have around for a good time.
History: Ezra’s father only got into the whole business of being a florist to get chicks. Girls usually liked flowers and so it stood to reason that a shop that sells them would be a proverbial watering hole for the female of the species. Working as a florist also made him seem sensitive and it was not a very hard job either way. Ezra’s father was a bit of a playboy with a roving eye. He loved women and one day he met the prettiest of them all.
At first, Aphrodite rebuffed his advances. Being the goddess of love and immortal to boot she had probably heard every pick up line there is and invented some of her own too. She was amused by the efforts of John Friedman and started to stop by the shop her worked in from time to time, just to watch him attempt to flirt with her.
This odd courtship continued for the better part of a year and just when Aphrodite was growing bored with him, she discovered something new. John Friedman was addicted to cheesy Mills and Boons type novels. At first, he was embarrassed when she caught him reading such a book at the counter, but they got to talking about them and she liked his candid take on his odd habit. She let him take her out to coffee and that lead to a fling. After that, John never saw her again. Life went on though, and three months after he met Gina Tyler, a spunky woman who proved to be the love of his life.
Leaving his playboy ways, the pair were set to get married when Aphrodite popped up into John’s life once more. She bought Ezra and basically told John that the baby was theirs and it was now John’s job to raise him. It did not matter to her that her bombshell almost halted John and Gina’s wedding plans but when did goddesses ever worry about things like that? But that rather bad note aside, John and Gina went ahead with their wedding plans tried to be as normal a family as possible.
John decided that he would not tell Ezra of his true origins, but growing up the boy never really took to Gina. He was always defiant and stubborn whenever it came to her, which never ceased to surprise people because Ezra was a very charming boy. As he grew, he learned to use that charm and his good looks to his advantage, going so far as to be talent scouted by a modeling agency when he was eleven years old. John was proud of his son though by this time the family ties of the Friedman family were more then a little strained. John was always caught in the middle in wars between his son and his wife and things got worse when Gina announced that she was pregnant. Ezra of course did not take very kindly to the prospect of a baby brother.
The only reprieve came when Ezra was claimed and another note came from Aphrodite that he was to be sent to Camp Half Blood. John had wanted to distance Ezra from everything related to Aphrodite but saw that he had no choice in this. A sullen Ezra was sent to Camp Half Blood the summer of his twelfth birthday. He was been there every summer since and has grown to enjoy it there. He's able to get away from his stepmother and stepbrother for one thing and for another, Ezra sees the camp as a stepping stone to get closer to Aphrodite, whom he has only heard of but has never spoken too.
Abilities: The children of Aphrodite are all physically beautiful and Ezra is no exception. No matter how rumpled he is, he always manages to look nothing less then perfect and instinctively knows what type of light or what angle to hold his head in so that his best side is always on display. He is also very charming and quite adapt at the love magic available to Aphrodite's children.
Weaknesses: Ezra can only attract people to him, but keeping them under his thrall requires more effort and energy then he'd usually like to invest in so usually he just leaves the love magic alone and attract potential boyfriends and/or girlfriends the old fashioned way. His laziness usually hinders Ezra from working on his fighting skills. Not that he has very many to begin with, as Ezra is bad at everything when it comes to combat. He just has to have a weapon in his hand and everything that can go wrong..will.
Other Information: A bottle of cologne given to him by his mother to keep the monsters at bay.
