Powers/Abilities: Aura of Eros: This is the magic skill in which, Callidora had since birth. His name is Callidora for this very reason, meaning the gift of beauty. Having been born a gorgeous child, and even prettier as time passed forward, his ability to attract others or draw them to him was next to none. His touch, voice, look, movement, and even breathing can be seen as a form of seduction in his case. His entire body exudes a sex appeal and energy that the Pantheon Gods combined to bless him with. As such, he can control his aura and energy around him to sway things in his favor, or in the favor of whatever goal or task he has. Call him Eros Reborn because it’s always active, whether he likes it or not. His beauty is both his savior and destruction.
Touch of Aphrodite: Being a highborn Omega from the Saito family, Callidora was blessed with magical ability. This skill was earned through the sensual activities, Callidora not only had to endure but also perform on regular basis as a part of training to hone and control his sexual being. Since he was a young boy, the Saito assassin instructors taught him how effective touch was and how to control people through it. Thus, his hands, slowly and surely allowed people to succumb to ecstasy before anything really began. Depending on the contact
(skin to skin is the most potent, or skin on clothes, etc.), the strength of this technique varies as his own sensual aura is expressed through his hands evoking lust and desire from the individual touched. It draws you to his ethereal beauty whether you are interested or not normally. The longer he touches you, the more the target yearns to have Callidora for themselves, however, his touch needs to be consistent to intensify the feelings. The farther away you are, the more the feeling dissipates.
Mad Lust: Having his main ability,
Aura of Eros, always active is one thing, but
Mad Lust is something all on its own. Combined with his natural ability, this is a spell that can essentially drive an entire room into a complete Lust frenzy. Callidora will allow his aura to flow freely, filling the space or spaces that are in its reach, and upon activation, heightened desire and lust will strike the hearts and minds of all within that enclosed space. Unless you can leave the space his aura has occupied, or reach Callidora, you’ll fall further into the depravity of giving in to your sexual desires and thoughts. When it’s activated, because he has allowed his Aura to flow freely, he too can be affected, albeit not to the same degree, if he enters the space. The pocket around himself is the only safe space, however, Callidora only uses this as a last resort. It’s his lust ability’s way of trying to protect him, by turning everyone else into puddles and heaps of lust as they focus on solely relieving themselves, leaving him free to walk away or escape unharmed. The ability can sometimes start on its own when it feels like he is in perilous danger, or his emotions reach that point. Lust always has a mind of its own.
Discernment Callidora has always had the ability to judge whether or not people or lying to him. During his years of training and information gathering, he learned to piece things together from the different individuals all his own. When something was unclear, he would ask for a differing opinion, but the few yakuza and gangs his family worked with trusted his intel, which was always spot on and perfect. He built that reputation of getting the job done efficiently, with none the wiser. He has always been quick in thought and able to see through the drama and craziness to the heart of the situation. Not to mention, with his entire life being seducing information out of people, most aren't willing to lie when their fantasies are coming true in more ways than one.
Physical Endurance/Flexibility: Callidora is able to take much more abuse than his seemingly delicate frame would allow. Callidora has not missed a day of stretching and wouldn't dream of it. His dancing played a part in his fighting style and assassination techniques. Most don't pay attention to detail, but that's where the devil in him lies. His body is smaller than most men, however, he is muscular, from head to toe. His body doesn't give off the vibe of being overly macho, but he was trained to be an assassin and to kill through solo missions, espionage, and subterfuge. Able to fight and defend himself, his lithe frame allows movements that most either can't keep up with or wonder how such feats were even possible. As they say, speed kills, and in this case, quite literally.
Skilled Orator: Fortunately, this was something that was instilled in him at a young age when he was beaten. The boy learned quickly when it came to diction. The statement, 'It's not what you say, it's how you say it." was beyond real for the young man. As he grew older, he learned you could lure more with honey and wine than you could with just one. He could read a room and a person, allowing himself to pick his words carefully so that his point would always be made or his goal could always be reached, but maintaining the facades needed for the yakuza and gangs entering into a deal, etc. It's also availed him in the acting world, allowing him to conduct business with all manners of people around him. He has a certain "je ne sais quoi", if you will.
Personality: If there was a word to classify Callidora…..you could probably call him an "enigma". Honestly, there is so much that surrounds him that it’s hard to label him as just one thing, if anything at all. He is a very sassy man, whose tongue is never held. Despite being an Omega and the mindset of many that come with it, that is definitely not the case, and he is more than capable of proving that. The air of well-mannered, with a mouth that speaks fluent sarcasm. Don’t push the b*tch button, because the switch is almost impossible to see coming. Every move he makes is etched in grace, which makes him almost appear like he is floating around as he glides on the runway, but that’s just the seductive undertone he gives off at every turn. Callidora is a gregarious individual, again holding his tongue for no one, however, that means he is extremely blunt. You could say he is an extroverted introvert, being social in all situations that cause it, otherwise, he is quieter. Perhaps too honest at certain times. Regardless, he still has people’s best interests at heart, not caring too much about hating anyone or holding grudges. Too much energy on his part. He is manipulative, the assassin and training life has taught him one way to get what you want, and he uses that to his advantage or to the benefit of those he loves, which is far and few between.
Slow to anger, Callidora rarely gets his emotions involved in things. You'd have to show him you were worth such activity for him to be more open. His guard is mainly up ninety-nine percent of the time unless with those he trusts, which is far and few in between. In his line of work, whether the underground or the entertainment industry, someone was always waiting for your fall. The world gets a different version of him, considering he is also a well-known model, singer, and actor. It can be tiring for him overall, but he thrives, having had to step up to keep things afloat in all areas of his life. The man is his own worst critic so no one needs to be harsh on him considering how harsh he is to himself, but the world was never nice. He knows this all too well.
Never one to rely on others, you can be sure that whatever he does, he does solo. He has always been set apart from the yakuza groups and people in general, almost revered, so to speak, or maybe it was out of their fear. As a result, everything he does is for himself and those he cares for. He lives his life fearlessly, but he remains objective, not subjective. If he were to rely on another, it would be only in the direst of times. He has worked his way to where he is today, and he'll be Damned if someone else dictates his future ever again. Everyone has their day, and he knows just as well as anyone else that time ends everything.

Appearance: The intoxicating beauty that is Callidora Saitō stands at 5 feet 6 inches in height. Although, smaller than most men his physique is second to none. Lean and curvacious his body exhibits complete and utter discipline. His long white/silver hair is ankle length and shines in the sunlight and moonlight. Depending on the way you look at him and what kind of light he is under, his hair appears to be a multitude of colors at once. His eyes shine a pink lavender shade, however, depending on the lighting they can darken and or brighten. They give off an ephemeral glow, that can haunt you in more ways than one. As far as attire goes, he is a trendsetter, but one thing you will always notice is Callidora looks like money. He stays on top of fashion as is part of his job while also bringing older things back in style too. He moves to the beat of his own drum, but regardless, he is always put together. Even his clothes that he wears solely at home, look like they could be worn out for the day. His pet Fou is a greater demon cat that Callidora was able to tame when he came to Japan at the age of 18. More curious about his aura than anything else, Fou took a great liking to the sassy man and has now become a companion. Fou is treated like a pet, however, Callidora, allows him his free will, though Fou respects him greatly.
Callidora I,
Callidora II,
Callidora III,
Pet Demon CatHistory: Let me tell you a little story about a family. Well, if one would like to call them that. For lack of a better word, we'll go with that, but you'll tell me if the definition fits later.
Narration begins:
"To Japan and the world, the Saitō families are nothing more but cogs in the machine called life. Family members living their entire lives in Sendai, northeast of Tokyo, are unremarkable and forgettable. In truth, they are assassins for the Sendai Yakuza and loyally served the leaders for generations. Any Saito member who didn't step into line was immediately killed and disregarded as though they were never born. Yet, it wasn't until recently that Tsubaki and Shingo's children would alter the fates of future (if any) Saitō descendants."
Narration Abruptly Cut Off and Callidora's Voice Enters
"Yes, that is where the original story began, but that was only the prelude. The reality is that little family stepped quite a ways from home and I am the result. Let's begin shall we?" Laughing a little, Callidora would pull up a chair, sitting and crossing his legs gracefully.
"Everything is completely shot to sh*t. I have two mothers and a stepfather. So my mother is the or rather was, the head of the Saitō family. She impregnated Hera, clearly my other mother. In essence, she fell into something else outside of Japan, and here I am." Waving his hand to the Narrator, he would signal him to proceed.
Narrator Clears His Throat Before Continuing
---WARNING! THIS HISTORY IS DARK AND CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MAY TRIGGER YOU!--
As stated, his mother, Hera met the head of the family Tsubaki, while she was in Greece. After the two fell in love, they would create a child, outside of the family's knowledge and he would be left in Greece. However, Tsubaki determined, the child would be trained as a Saitō while in Greece. This clearly meant she was taking care of her child that was born outside of her marriage without anyone else, being the wiser. Even though that was the case, young Callidora never met his mother after she left Greece. His tutor was one of Tsubaki's right-hand men who needed to get away for a while due to some events that had occurred in Japan. Unfortunately, that didn't provide a nice childhood but it was something that Callidora needed to accept, as even his mother had no choice, but she was just as cold.
Hera had been abandoned for Shingo, Tsubaki's husband. While she may have loved Hera, there was no way Tsubaki was going to ruin her entire marriage and break the creed. Regardless, her child was a Saitō and he would be trained and taught as such. Hera held out for Tsubaki until Callidora was three and it was clear that Tsubaki and she were finished. Callidora looked like the cold woman more so than her, even though he was a mixed child, having Tsubaki's long white hair, powers born from the Saitō, and flawless skin. The child resembled everything she had come to hate, and now Callidora was the subject of years of rage and sadness.
Now that the stage was set, Callidora's Saitō trainers beat him, Hera giving full permission, of course. Callidora learned how to fight at a young age, and all was well as Hera received money to keep them living lavish and safe from Tsubaki because of her son. Callidora didn't call her mother though, she wasn't that. He was alone, no one to save him, except himself. He couldn't win though he would learn all that he could through the beatings and verbal abuse. Words were weapons used against him and he learned to internalize them and return them in kind. At the age of five, he had good movement when it came to motor skills and reacting to things but he was still a child. His world shattered further when Tsubaki and the rest of the family were killed, and the supposed rumor was that the third child of the five killed everyone.
Hera panicked as did the trainer who came for Callidora because the two had fallen in love and were using the money from Tsubaki for their lifestyle while using Callidora in the manner Tsubaki saw fit. Let's call the trainer Seiji. Seiji and Hera, were now without funds coming in monthly to support their habits, as the source of the cash flow no longer existed. Greece was in love with the arts, and so was Japan. Dignitaries and military men were on the clientele list among others from different gangs around the world.
Callidora was able to speak quite well and was smart for his age but mind you, the hate for his mother didn't leave. Now everything was his fault, the lack of money, his mother's death, and everything was directed at him. Despite being beaten regularly, his body scent which was a power he was learning to control fully, was a constant reminder of Tsubaki and him being a highborn child. Tsubaki wasn't there physically but she made sure he had a roof over his head as he was an Omega, but the trainer, Siji, saw a window of opportunity. This was something they could do and use the boy for while still adhering to the teaching that Tsubaki wanted, but more so exploiting it.
Binging important dignitaries or individuals with secrets forward, Seiji would attempt to unleash all that Callidora could be by continually pushing him, until one day he **** Callidora. Callidora's power, the Aura of Eros was something that people dreamed of obtaining and also keeping in their own castle. It could drive people mad or make them putty in your hand. Seiji would continually r@pe the now six-year, training him on what to do and how to please men, along with how to please women. Along with said training, Seiji was paid by guards who wanted to touch the boy who activated their ruts, or heats. Callidora was the embodiment of their desires because his ability made him even more beautiful than he was going to be when he was grown, however, these people were sick and only thought about their relief.
Callidora had become an escort by age seven and eight, sleeping with the different people they brought to him and entertaining them as if he were an oiran. Callidora was specifically trained in the arts daily when he was no longer on jobs. He would sing, dance, perform tea ceremonies, and practice new sexual techniques as training to be the perfect seductress. He was told to learn as much as he could about a good number of people and as he entertained them and did whatever they desired, he would act in whatever capacity necessary. Survival was key for the boy and his mother, Hera, lived lavishly off of all the jobs and people he pleased. He could no longer be beaten as his body was what they desired, but his body nor his time were his own. Callidora only felt free when he was dancing, despite being in the midst of all the people, that would inevitably have him. It was his moment of reprieve where he could show whatever he felt like showing, his body would move the way HE desired it would move and that would entice people more than he knew.
Callidora's body was always pushed to the limits every day as he would now need to use his primary skill that they started on years ago. After having been a sex slave essentially for 5 years straight, he would continue, but now contracts were coming in and the boy was now told to kill people. His first kill was a yakuza captain who had been acting out of line and the call from above Seiji came down to have it done. The ten-year-old needed to earn his keep as he couldn't stay for free. They would never let him go but where he would end up would be worse than where he was, which spoke volumes considered they practically made him sleep with every dignitary that came in.
After having gotten to know this one man, it was unfortunate that Callidora had to be the one to kill him as the man praised Callidora, loving every moment of their time together and feeling peaceful. However, there was a dark storm brewing and that broke Callidora the rest of the way emotionally. Killing someone who had been nice despite him doing things he didn't want to have done at all, the only nice person he had met out of hundreds and now he had to die. This person held Callidora's best interest at heart, even as a savage himself. He talked of taking him away and helping him gain his own independence. As regrettable as this was.... Callidora was trained, there were no excuses in assassination. Allowing the man to relax, Callidora would further release his aura, the scent driving the captain mad as he rose for round two of sleeping with the young man, however, this time, he faced a child with a blade as the scent grew stronger.
Watching as the man practically melted into him, wanting nothing more than to be in Callidora's embrace, and taking him for his own, Callidora would accept him tears streaming from his eyes as he approached, not being able to defend himself from the onslaught of the lust taking over his mind. It was one swift strike...the captain would not suffer, a direct strike to the heart. Callidora watched the light and the life drain from the man, seeing nothing but desire and madness in his eyes until the bitter end. The man didn't even get to die as himself but as a lust-filled beast craving nothing but pleasure and wanting it to be at Callidora's hands. It was unfortunate but he knew then that his always active ability was something he needed to control entirely as he would need to kill everyone else in a similar manner.
Deaths became a common thing in his life as he continually killed people for the group Seiji worked for and he would give all the information he needed to gather from them before ending their life. By the time Callidora was 14, Seiji and Hera decided to send Callidora on a mission with a yakuza member to the United States of America. The boy was beyond intelligent although he had graduated early as the tutors made sure all of his work was completed as the boy had a job to do. Applying for The Juilliard School, he was one of the 6% of students accepted in and that was also where they needed him to be in New York City. Allowing him to go to the university was something they added as a side thing, as long as he was able to complete all the tasks given to him.
Having had the best of the best as tutors and trainers, in their respective arts, the school was a place Callidora fit perfectly and while killing, and performing in the US as his family required. It was during this time that his face was becoming more well known, his beauty and ability causing people outside of the yakuza to seek him out. Once he was eighteen, pictures of the beauty were well circulated, fans, and admirers alike were falling at his feet, but none of that was what he wanted, however, his plan to put himself in the limelight had worked, despite what the family assumed. Callidora had been planning his escape the moment they mentioned the United States.
Calling his so-called family, they asked him or rather directed him to come back home, but unfortunately for them, his popularity had hit an all-time high in ways they couldn't have even predicted and now their cash cow was gone. He was an assassin, professional dancer, singer, and actor, having graduated from one of the top universities for such activities in the country. In this time Callidora had been modeling for different companies or in some other projects for different students who wanted to work with him. His name held another meaning now and it was one he created for himself. While he used his abilities to his advantage in more ways than one, he also didn't have to in a lot of cases. He said what everyone else wouldn't say.
He was free now and by his own hand. The beauty that Tsubaki blessed him with was the only thing he was grateful for because that was his curse and his blessing. For that, he would forever be grateful, but he would determine how his life played out, especially now that he was of age, considering he had done more than what most his age had even dreamed of. keeping him in the underworld was no longer an option and everyone knew it. Callidora told his family that he would not be returning and he had already killed the man who had been sent to watch him, as they were going to alert him to bring Callidora back.
It just so happened that, during that night, Callidora's friend was traveling to her hometown in Japan and asked if Callidora wanted to visit too. He did have business of his own in Japan and figured, it would then would be as good a time as any. He was free, had graduated from The Juilliard School, and could now pursue whatever he wanted. He knew Greece well, but it was time to see where his mother and other siblings were from. What could the harm be in that?
He arrived in Japan at the ripe age of eighteen and had now been in the capital, Tokyo, for two years. Callidora was a professional model, who had been quite successful and along with his modeling career had become an acting one. His name and face were on the big screen tv and in people's homes, as was his beauty. He would become a beauty that would forever be remembered in time as far as he was concerned. He was never going back to a corner again. It was time to see what remnants of his life were left here while living the dream he had always dreamt, absolute freedom.
