Aphrodite “Dotty” Metaxas
"You think God forgives you for doing bad things? I mean like really bad shit.”
OOC: Charlotte, twenty- three, 7 years RP- found you on Caution.[/center]
Canon: Greek Mythology
Face-claim: Minka Kelly
Social Status: On paper, Dotty would be considered Middle Class in income due to her ownership in a successful food and drink establishment. However off the books, she definitely makes more.
Occupation: Owner of Tartarus Tavern/ Bartender
Age: Twenty- five
Appearance: Standing at five feet and nine inches, Dotty has a lean athletic build. She has strong thighs and a strong upper body, however it isn't visibly cut like a body builder's. Her long legs and long torso make an illusion of her being taller; since she always wears heels though, she always is at least six foot 1 inch.
Dotty has long naturally curly lashes, dark angular eyebrows and almond shaped deep brown eyes. Her strong jaw line and full lips complete her rather sensual appearance. When at work, she uses bold (rather than heavy) make up in order to express her natural looks. Bright red lipstick or neon pink would be an example while she uses mascara and any eye shadow that matches her outfit for the evening.
When out and about, Dotty enjoys wearing clothing that always accentuates her body. Skinny pants with a fitted shirt or tight dresses are usually her choice depending on the season. She is always fashionable, but not ostentatious or greedy. Since she is young, Dotty loves to show off her wild/ rocker style. Her t-shirts are usually cut up into different styles in order to expand her wardrobe. Her closet is full of stilettos, wedges, anything with a heel. To Dotty, looking her best is very important. She has a natural gracious posture and carries herself with confidence wherever she goes. It's an apparent aura, which would make anyone who approaches her possibly intimidated.
She has several tattoos: one over her left breast and heart that says "Ares" in script; roses on her inner right forearm, and two traditional sparrows on her upper back.
Overall Personality: The personality of Dotty Metaxas is pretty complicated. Although everyone's personality is able to be generalized, Dotty has certain ways of acting and reacting towards different people. To her closest friends and family, she is open, honest, loyal and caring. She will go out of her way to make sure they are happy and safe. Due to her history, her bond with her current family is what she lives on. Anything that would be a threat to it, is a personal threat to her; which makes her need to destroy such an problem.
When handling customers in the work place, Dotty adjusts different sides of herself depending on the customer. If they are easy going and friendly, then she is as well. If they are a drunk hard ass who won't watch his booze, she becomes the tough interior/exterior necessary to physically get the guy out of her bar. If she has a customer who is clearly interested in her looks, she uses her looks to get what she wants from him (or sometimes her). Dotty adapts to situations easily and shows it in every life situation. She is a survivor of sorts but doesn't feel that she is the most important person in her life. That being said, Dotty does have much depth about her.
She is very intelligent, and uses that intelligence for both business and life. She knows how to deal with the worst people, simply from watching how her old man, Ares, or other members of the club do so. She earned her right to be trusted with the "Family Business" and proves that further every day. With that intelligence comes the ability to read certain people; therefore trust is a very serious subject. With strangers, Dotty has no desire to make new friends since trusting them is a very difficult and long process to her. She is loyal to the club and her family, nothing else.
Dotty is a very sensual and sexual person. She was very into experimenting and strongly believes that the human body is a beautiful and natural being. Sex is just sex regardless of gender. She isn't one to join an orgy, however she isn't opposed to enjoying herself with two other people under the right mood and circumstances. Since she met Ares however, she is only with him and subdued her sexual desires with others all onto him. She hasn't complained at all. Because of this connection with Ares, she is passionate and fiery and extremely possessive of him.
She is blunt and honest in any situation. She isn't one to take shit easily. She never lies to the people she cares about unless it is to protect them. Because she maintains the "survivor" mentality, she is very protective. A good example would be that fact that she would rather get beaten up or killed than allow some rapist to take advantage of her with the possibility of living through it.
Likes, dislikes: Likes include: sex, cigarettes, leather, rock music and is an animal lover.
Dislikes include: her parents, her ex-husband, animal abusers, pedantic people and stupid people.
Goals, fears:Goals are: living out her life with the club and family that she truly loves, and living her life to the fullest without regrets.
Fears are: loosing the club in any way, and/or seeing it fall apart.
Overall History: Dotty Metaxas was born and raised in New York City. She was born into the elite world of luxury and expensive lifestyle. The Metaxas family was originally based in Greece, known for their real estate developments and business throughout the country. The Metaxas fortune grew for generations, making Dotty come from old money. When Dotty's parents were pregnant, they decided to move to the United States in order to expand their business as well as marry off her older sisters within the American elite. Due to their old school morals and customs, Dotty’s parents believed it important to marry off their children to those worthy. Unluckily for her, Dotty grew up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side with two older sisters who were very into such culture. She was surrounded with being brought up to be the proper woman and young lady; attended all the right schools and got into all the right clubs within the elite. However she always craved something more.
Dotty was considered the oddball and rebel of the family. During her teen years, she was known for hanging out with the “wrong crowd” of elite children. They were the drug users and party throwers. She enjoyed the wild side of life and getting away from her own upbringings. It led her down a vicious spiral. She was guilty of foolish, dangerous and at times terrible acts that still haunt her to this day. But with all the baggage, she channels it into becoming a stronger person and knowing who she is.
As much as she tried, Dotty was never close with anyone in her family. She tried to have some kind of relationship with her parents since they were consistently busy with their work and parties to raise her themselves. After many attempts and discussions with them about her future, Dotty finally realized that she didn’t have anything in common with her family. It was not only heart-aching, but disappointing and frustrating as well. She wanted to feel like she had a family, people she could talk to and express her opinions without them being thrown back in her face. To her father, she was born with the gift of beauty and reminded her of that every day. Between her and her sisters, Dotty was his most “prized” daughter and he wanted to match and marry her as soon as she was of age. This made her sisters resent her since she was born, and therefore never had a relationship with them she could be proud of.
Although Dotty wanted to attend university, it wasn’t “in the cards” for her. Shortly after her eighteenth birthday an arranged marriage was finalized by her parents, without her consent, to her ex-husband (Hephaestus/Vulcan) who was a successful engineer. At the time of the marriage, Dotty didn’t have any family or friends to go to. She felt trapped and unable to escape the arrangement. So in order to just make one final attempt at happiness, Dotty went through with the marriage, only to regret it after.
Her husband was a very smart, ambitious and jealous man. Although he admired Dotty for her mind and beauty, he was consistently busy with his work. His jealously drove him to always hide her away and never let her go out alone. If she ever wanted to attend somewhere without him, he would forbid it and made sure she never left their home. Bodyguards and/or man servants wouldn’t give her the time of day. This made Dotty depressed and incredibly lonely.
In order to show his affections, he would buy her many luxuries and gifts that he believed she would enjoy. However she didn’t care about his money more than his affection. Dotty wanted him to spend time with her and get to know her. And although she enjoyed their times of intimacy, it lacked the passion and love she greatly desired. Being the neglected wife, Dotty naturally desired other means (and men) to fill the hole she had felt. It wasn’t until she played hostess for a business deal her husband had in their home, that she had finally found the passion that she so longed for.
One evening, her husband had requested that some potential business partners come to his home for negotiations. As always, Dotty dressed her best and looked amazing as she was supposed to. It was then that she met Ares, a man that would change her life entirely. She grew ever so curious about him, considering he wasn’t wearing a traditional suit and tie as all of her husband’s clients did. Instead, he looked like a rugged biker guy who was mocking the formalities of a business deal. Apparently she was right. Ares showed complete interest in Dotty the second they met and secretly continued to pursue her afterwards. She had never felt so passionate for another person in her life and Ares’ affection was a magnet to her. They had many affairs while her husband continued his work, paying off her bodyguards and man servants to stay quiet. It wasn’t until Ares told her he wanted her for himself that she finally saw a way to escape. Dotty didn’t hesitate, and knew that her love for Ares was genuine and true. Since she believed he reciprocated the same feelings, she sneaked out one night with just her essentials, and drove off with the love of her life all the way to Brooklyn.
Since then, Dotty has been an essential part of Ares’ Styx N’ Stones club. Being his “Old Lady” she is the matriarch of the club. Even though she is nearly half his age, she has the upmost respect from her Old Man and the club members. To help out the club and their illegal business, Dotty legally owns the Tartarus Tavren, a biker bar in Flatbush that is the main location for all the club’s illegal shipments. When it comes to her ex-husband, Ares took care of making sure he never bothered Dotty again and was served divorce papers within a week of her disappearance (giving him an offer he couldn’t refuse).
Now, Dotty is very happy with her lifestyle and life in general. She has the close, loyal family she always wanted, and the passionate man she always desired. However that doesn’t mean that tons of problems haven’t come their way.

"Last call everyone," Dotty said as she rang the infamous bell above the bar-top. It was always amusing to hear the orchestra of groans that came right after. It was like clockwork, and Dotty simply ignored the popular vote and started breaking down the bar. The boys from the MC were there, enjoying their drinks on the bar stools, and were the only ones she didn't cut off. The rest of the clientele didn't complain about that since they valued their lives and understood the situation. The Styx N' Stones Motorcycle Club was well known in New York City, and Flatbush, Brooklyn was their hometown. They took care of the community and vice versa. Anyone who had a problem with that, quickly regretted it.
As the last of the remaining clients left, Dotty wiped down the bar and let the MC boys help out as they usually did. She loved those boys like blood, and they were her family. They did anything and everything for her and she knew it wasn't just because she was Ares' Old Lady. They were a loyal bunch and stood by her at all times. And even though she believed she could take care of herself, the boys didn't want to take any chances with any harm coming to her. Just as she was about to close up, the familiar ringing at the front door sounded. "Sorry but we're closed," she yelled out of instinct as she put her empty bottles of the night into the back room. She needed to count them off of inventory. "Um is Ares here?" said a voice from the main floor. Dotty's attention immediately shifted to the guest. It wasn't the voice of someone she knew, but it was the voice of a young woman who sounded like she needed something that didn't belong to her.
Dotty dropped everything she was doing, and walked out from the back room. "You need help with something girly?" she said to the tall blond drink of water on the floor. The girl couldn't have been older than Dotty was, and she wasn't dressed appropriately for a serious business deal. Dotty's attitude adjusted to the situation and folded her arms annoyed at what she saw. "Umm... I don't think so," the girl said in a cavalier tone. "But I'm looking for Ares? Joey told me to come by and thank him for helping us girls out at the strip club. You know... protection from the club and all?" Dotty raised her eyebrow, attempting to not throw a glass at the bimbo. Bimbo, stood there like a deer waiting to get hit by an 18 wheeler.
Without hesitation, Dotty walked up to the girl and put on a plastic smile on her face. "Oh... well then why didn't you say so?" she said sarcastically. With that, she grabbed Bimbo by the hair and dragged her outside of the bar. "I have no problem with some random skank giving my man a blower!" Bimbo kicked and screamed, yelling obscenities and trying to break free. Dotty tightened her grip and rammed the girl into the bar entrance door. "You tell Joey 'Thanks but no thanks' you got it doll?" she said through gritted teeth before letting go. Bimbo cursed as she stumbled away, threatening Joey wouldn't be happy. Dotty spit at the girl and angirly opened up the bar door before slamming it closed. The MC boys were scattered around the front of the bar, as if they had all been watching from the front window. "WHAT?!?" she yelled through huffed breaths. She she stomped to the back room, ignoring whatever the boys did or said. "She was lost!"
