He's loyal to his mother, obedient to his father, passionate to his lovers, and merciless to his foes. [break][break] He has a bright-eyed confidence, a keen intellectual mind, and a love for all things creative. He can be shameless and cavalier, but at the end of the day, Apollo is a thoughtful young(?) man that values harmony and order, truth and justice. [break][break] Beware Apollo in love. He falls heads-over-heels, bearing constant gifts and puppy dog eyes. He's already been told that it's 100% not okay to murder those that reject him, so instead he resorts to histrionic lamentations and playing sad break up songs until he gets over it. [break][break] Beware Apollo's wrath. His world is black and white. Peace comes only after the enemy is dead. [attr="class","subcat"]biographical details The Greek pantheon lives on Mount Olympus, an extra-dimensional planet made more easily accessible through Hyperborea. The Olympians regularly visited Earth in the prehistoric era up through earliest antiquity. [break][break] Apollo is Leto's second child, twin to Artemis, son of Zeus. He was born on Earth, because Leto was hiding there away from Hera. [break][break] He slew Python when he was four-days-old because it threatened his mother. Gaia took offense since Python was her child, and Zeus told Apollo to [break][break] Luckily, Apollo liked Earth just fine. He spent a human lifetime there, and even when he could return to Mt. Olympus, he still made frequent visits to Earth. Many of the legends surrounding him are at least somewhat based in fact. [break][break] By early antiquity, the Olympians had abandoned Earth. Apollo returned periodically, but the last time he did was in the 1600s. For him, that doesn't feel like too long ago. [break][break] His gift of prophecy let him know that Something Bad was due to happen on Earth. Knowing that Artemis was still there, Apollo decided to pay her a visit. [break][break] The Initiative detected his arrival to Earth and retrieved him. He's been content to work with them so far.

He does not age. As purveyor of light, music, and healing, Apollo is noticeably weaker than most other Olympians, but he's still able to weather massive explosions, shrug off diseases and poisons, ignore the effects of radiation, and other things that might get humans down. [break][break] Olympians, like many ancient "deities," were once capable of miracles at-will when on Earth, due to a natural ability to harness Earth's energies. This energy has evolved enough (or simply depleted) over the centuries that Olympians are limited to small boons of luck or curses of minor misfortune. [break][break] When an Olympian dies, their soul is sent to Underworld. [attr="class","subcat"]LIGHT MANIPULATION (1) Apollo is able to create and manipulate light, as in electromagnetic radiation, visible light, not the force of good. Specifically, he produces and works with sunlight. [break][break] He can create photokinetic constructs: weapons, armor, walls, and items of solidified light. Most typically, he makes arrows of light, which are essentially photon lasers. [break][break] He can shift light particles for invisibility or to create minor illusions and mirages, so called "tricks of light." He can produce a blinding light, like staring into the sun. [break][break] He can travel along photons to move at light speed, or use photonic propulsion to fly. [attr="class","subcat"]LIGHT MANIPULATION (2) Apollo can also manipulate light, as in the force of good. [break][break] He can directly convert light into energy, which he uses for healing. He can heal any natural maladies and injuries, physical or mental. With enough time, even if it takes months or years, he can repair severe damage such as missing limbs, incurable diseases, insanity, or significant trauma. [attr="class","subcat"]PROPHECY Apollo can tell you the future. Ask him what's to come, and if fate is practically sealed, he can answer clearly and succinctly. If fate is in flux, his answers are riddles or fragments of sentences. At worst, it's gibberish. [break][break] His prophecy is only spoken. He does not actually see the future. [attr="class","subcat"]MUSIC He's really good at singing and playing musical instruments. Really, really good. Angels weep. [attr="class","subcat"]MASTER ARCHER If you're Artemis, you're better at archery than Apollo is. Being worse than Artemis at archery is nothing to be ashamed of. |
