Canteros

**Canteros** (his entry here) is the oldest son and child of Amareros, the Grand Primeval god of Love, as well as the oldest member of the Amaredae, which contains Amareros' divine and demi-divine offspring.

## Appearance

As Amareros' firstborn son and child, Canteros heavily resembles his father in that they're both incredibly beautiful even by divine stantdrds. However, Canteros is taller than Amareros height-wise whenever they appear in the mortal planes.

While Canteros has appeared in various forms over the years, his favorite form is a tall and handsome blue Alicorn with a long horn, and large, beautiful, iridescent butterfly wings. His wing number is usually depicted as two or four, but due to Canteros' age, his maximum wing number is said to be eight or ten. His pelt has a shimmering quality, and his mane and tail are composed of rippling, iridescent light blue energy that gains rainbow colors when light shines on it. The same thing applies to his butterfly wings, thematically showing how Love has massive potential than is initially assumed. His "Cutie Mark" is a flock of butterflies in the shape of a heart, with some flying away, representing the easily spreadable nature of Love itself. His head is adorned with a bright halo of rainbow-colored light.

Canteros' Alicorn form is noted to be very similar to that of Crystal Prism, as the latter is a young Alicorn demigod with similar butterfly motifs. This has led to theories that Canteros might be an extremely distant ancestor, or the living representation of what Crystal Prism could become.

In terms of attire, Canteros wears divine, butterfly-themed platinum regalia/armor inlaid with colorful gemstones, and a butterfly-themed masquerade mask also made of divine platinum. He is draped with a dark royal-blue hooded cloak with iridescent rainbow patterns.

It is speculated that like his father and his relatives, Canteros might be a powerful and eldritch being, except his true form likely involves butterflies. However, given the Grand Primevals' collective eldritch nature and inclination for terrifying rages when angered, few have lived to actually see it and leave with their minds (and bodies) intact.

## Relationships

### Adversus

Despite Adversus being the Grand Primeval goddess of Adversity and Misfortune, Canteros loves his aunt dearly and treats her like part of his family.

### Skotádi

Canteros loves Skotádi dearly, despite knowing that she was adopted by the Grand Primevals as their sister and is a "child" of the shattered evil god of Darkness, Erebus.

### Old Orosian Pantheon

Much like his father, Canteros was deeply enraged with the behavior of the Old Orosian Pantheon, who often returned their mortal worshipers' devotion with unwanted lustful advances and/or extremely disproportionate retribution towards perceived disobedience.

### Golden Scepter

Canteros is very proud of Golden Scepter, and approves of the Radiant Emperor's efforts in breaking free from his people's mistakes and atoning for his own sins, rather than secluding himself as the surviving Alicorns did after the Alicorn Civilization was destroyed. It's rumored that Canteros visited Golden Scepter one night to congratulate him for his achievements.

### Blue Suede Heartstrings

Canteros is delighted with Blue's efforts in promoting Humility among sapientkind, as unchecked pride is often the biggest obstacle acknowledging/returning love and reconciling with others. Canteros believes that Blue might become lovers with Prince Stoltur in the future due to their closeness and compatibility as friends, despite Stoltur's inner evil and vain nature.

### Prince Stoltur Skjöldur

Canteros is delighted with Stoltur's efforts in promoting Humility among sapientkind via punishing those who gave in to their arrogance, as unchecked pride is often the biggest obstacle acknowledging/returning love and reconciling with others. Canteros believes that Stoltur might become lovers with Blue Suede Hearstrings in the future due to their closeness and compatibility as friends, despite Stoltur's inner evil and vain nature.
