Appearance ;; Apollon or Apollo is described
as a gorgeous, handsome, masculine young man. In the ancient myths the god of the sun, was mentioned to be a young man that was beardless, with long, blonde hair that shone like the rays of the sun. Tall (6 foot 5 inches), slim and athletic, strong and muscular but also with the body of a young man in his twenties. They described him as a man in the plenitude of masculinity and youth. Wearing roman clothes, wearing a golden wreath on his head, a branch of laurel in his hand or arm. Always carrying the gift of Vulcan that was his golden bow and a quiver with special arrows for it. His Lyre, which he used to play his music and sonets. Also he always was seen with a black raven that was his hunting companion.
Now, he hasn't changed much, odds of being immortal. But he had changed some stuff of his outfit. Being in the modern era, he wore nothing that wasn't from designer, when he had to attend to some important meeting with the 12, but if he was going to be on his own, just hunting or driving the sun, then he would wear casual clothes, something that was comfortable and also denoted his youth... well at least his looks youth. His raven always was close to him and so his bow and quiver with arrows. He only needed to think of them and they would show up in his back and hand. so as his Lyre when he would like to compose some music or a nice poem for a beautiful girl.
Personality ;; Apollon is a very kind and warm god (not pun intended), he would always have a smile on his face and be a pleasent god with the ones that he meets, immortal or mortal, but if by any moment or reason you offended him or his kin, then he would turn in a fearful god, the one that punishes. but no one really wants to deal with an angry Apollo. But don't fear! it is difficult to get him to a very unpset mood, maybe only few have achieved that, including his sister, his father and Saturn. He is usually related to a laid-back person, someone that is never worried about anything. He always seems to be relaxed in the worst kind of situations. Always joking and always diminishing the real ammount of importance that a delicate moment could require. But it wasn't that he didn't care about the things like those. He cares a lot and worries too, but he tries to do as the sun, to warm up people, to keep them fine and healthy. So too much worry is bad, too much stress is also not healthy, so he tries to lighten up the moods even if inside he was worried to death.
Maybe the closest one to Jupiter's ego was Apollo. He really thought that he is perfect, and amazing, that there is no other god like him. He spends a lot of his time talking about it, but only when there are beautiful women around to listen and to fall for the charm of his smooth talk. Only with his kin he would even be humble. He is also a charming prince whenever he wants to be one. woman kind adores him and he adores them too. even when you might thing he is with a woman each night, but he wasn't. in fact he really love the woman that he sleep with. So even when he would have several women in a year, his goddly condition would allow him to separate his mind and feelings for each of them. (still cheating but not in his eyes).

History ;; BACK THEN...
Latona, who was the daughter of the titan Coeo and Febe, is the mother of Apollo and Diana. Jupiter laid with Latona, but Juno found out about it so the queen of the gods sent the Python to chase Latona around the world, aslo stablished that she wouldn't be allowed to give birth in a place where the sun shone. south wind took Latona to Ortigia and there she gave birth to Diana. Then they traveled to Delos, which was a floating island, there Latona gave birth to Apollo between an olive and a palm and then the island became a none moving island.
Soon after apollo was born Temis feed them with Ambrosia and Nectar. by the fourth day from his birth, he requested a bow and arrows, which Vulcan inmediately gave to the young god. With them he chased the python who had chased his mother in the past. He hunted down the python till the place where the oracle in Delfos was, there he killed the serpent. Mother Earth went and told Jupiter about it. Jupiter sent Apollo to purify the temple. Apolo didn't do that, he rather look for Pan who gave him the secret of the oracle. Apollo owned then the oracle, Delfos and the priestess there served him.
It was Latona and Diana who went to purify the temple, but when they got there Tityos the gigant, tried to rape Latona, diana and Apollo killed him, even when he was also a son of Jupiter. he is now in Tartarus tie of arms and legs to the ground of a great extention of ground. Between Diana and him killed the Niobides, twelve children of Jupiter, because their mother mocked of Latona, sying she had had 12 children while she have had only 2. Diana killed the girls and Apollo the boys. He also killed or had Marsyas killed, he was a satyr in the court of Cibeles, who challenged the god on a music contest. Apollo won the contest and the satyr was tie to a tree and flayed till he died. In the troyan war, Apollo supported the Troyans because the greeks offended his priests and himself. He gave them plagues and also helped Paris to kill Aquilles.
In his history he have had a lot of lovers both men and women, he rather be with women, but he would never resist to a gorgeous manly man. among those were:
- Phitia
- Thalia
- Koronis -mother of his son Asclepius
- Aria
- Cirene
- Hyakinthos
- Daphne -who never laid with him
- and so on...
If someone doubts of his love for his children, they would only have to remember that apollo avenged the death of his son Asclepius by killing the cicplops that made the bolts of his father, when Jupiter killed his son. then Jupiter punished him with being the servant of a mortal, and he did it for the love that he felt for his son.
NOW!!!
Three years ago when Saturn tried to come back using a greek demigod, Apollo fought mainly with the Greeks, the gods needed to keep Typhon distracted during the Battle that happened in Manhattan. But after that war, he realized how important was that the gods kept in touch with their kin, so he visites Camp Jupiter regularly, even more now that War was threatening to happen again. He wanted to be present for his children and legacies.
