“The prince of flowers.”
Lilium, the dormant son of Chloris, was displaced in time when his mother struck a deal with Gaea, resulting in him being put to sleep in the earth for centuries.
So now here he is in modern times, surrounded by demigod children just like him.
..Well, sorta. Not a lot of kids his age were originally from ancient Greece and got sacrificed by their father’s cult to an all-knowing entity. But it’s whatever!
Oh, and did I mention he has wings? It’s no biggie! Pinky promise!!
“The flowers wept, for the boy was too deep into the earth for their roots to reach. For Her son, the Prince of Flowers, will never return to Her arms again.”
Basics!
Age: 14
Likes: Marshmallows!! (eventually. dude feels really bad abt it at first), coffee, dandelions, purple lilies, baby’s breath, apples, apple cake, sunbathing
Dislikes: Dr pepper
Appearance: Brown hair (very messy!! a bit past his shoulders), dark green eyes, big white wings on his back, a huge scar on his hip and a few on his arms
Clothing: The first few weeks at camp, he kinda just wore whatever he could find so dude was just walking around in pajama pants and random shirts for a while. Until an Aphrodite kid took pity on him and gave this boy actual clothes
—Lilium sticks to loose and flowy clothing (bro misses his chitton so bad). All of his clothes need pockets. If they don’t come with them, he’s sewing them in (he has a lot of patches bc of this!)
—His style is very basic overall. Prefers practicality over fashion. Occasionally wears some funny shirts because dude doesn’t understand/read them and they were given by some Hermes kids
Fatal Flaw: Curiosity
—If something catches his attention, Lilium will go great lengths to satiate his curiousity. Even if it means going along with something he doesn’t completely agree with. He was raised in a cult that valued knowledge, and was raised to value information over anything
Occupation: Camp’s unofficial florist. For small arrangements like bouquets/corsage/etc, he’ll take old jewelry and food as payment. For really big arrangements, he’ll ask for your dessert during meal times (he’ll accept money if that’s too much of an ask)
Additional facts:
—Language barrier!! dudes from ancient greece! english is not his first language. when he first arrives to camp, he will be having a hard time learning (he gets better trust). His accent is still present when he starts improving
—Flower powers flower powers!! he’s the flower boy for a reason!!
—He’s capable of growing flowers at will. Sometimes he can grow specific flowers if he concentrates enough, but most of the time, the flowers he sprouts are the ones willing to answer his call.
—Drawbacks: headaches, extreme dehydration, low blood sugar (he’s basically a flower that needs to be fed lol)
—He brings a ton of snacks with him because of this
—He used to hear voices prior to his arrival to chb
—Those wings on his back aren’t his, therefore they don’t originally belong to him. This is related to the the fact above as well as the cult he was in. This was his deity’s last ditch effort of laying ‘claim’ to Lilium (Also explains why the wings look too big on him and why they always hurt)
—Flowers are sentient to him. They always talk his ear off on gossip he could care less about. And as much as he loves them, they really can’t read the room (“No, I do NOT want to hear about the love triangle between two sisters and some penniless politician! Have you no shame?!”/ref)
—He can also understand insects and birds! They ARE pollinators after all (he’s lowkey a disney princess)
—Bro has killed someone before
—“Full sentences italicized like this” means he’s speaking in ancient greek
—Other titles: The Prince of Flowers, Lamb of the Seer (by his cult), Child of Sin, Wicked Child, Little Lamb (by his deity), Son of the Roses, Angel
CW!!
Lilium’s lore does contain religious themes/trauma (fictional deity, but the practices take after christianity), cults, grooming, SH, sui ideation, and abuse
I will disclaim there won’t be anything described in explicit detail. If there is, it will be tagged and labeled
Additional to that, these are HEAVILY implied through Lilium’s words and actions. It’ll most likely be an off hand comment (this guy is oblivious to how messed up his life really is lol or is he)
“The flowers always love hearing themselves talk. So for them to be so quiet would have to mean—” the boy paused, stiffening. “Something’s wrong.”
