Name:: Apollo
Nickname:: Apollo // Gorgeous // Any other flattering nicknames
Age:: Ageless
Gender:: Male
Species:: God
Olympian Parent:: Zeus
Years at Camp:: None
Claimed:: Clearly
Celebrity Claim: Justin Hartley
Looks::
Apollo has light hair, golden blond at the roots but closer to platinum at the tips. Despite his light hair he has dark chocolate brown eyes, uncommon for someone with his complexion but he likes it that way. He has defined facial features that are very statuesque. Apollo stands at 6'3" with a toned body and a subtle tan. He has strong, defined arms from all the archery. He has a very bright and dazzling smile that has the power to make almost anyone swoon. Apollo's to die for looks are often described as outdoorsy. Blond and beautiful is his go to appearance, but like all gods he has the ability to change his appearance at will.
Apollo often takes on many styles. For the most Apollo likes jeans that hang low on his hips. On the occasions that he does wear shirts, which is most of the time at camp, he prefers simple t-shirts. Sometimes he can be seen wearing dress shirts and much less common he wears suits. When he is on Olympus he often wears his Greek armor but when he really feels like annoying his father - and sometimes his sister - he wears cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirts so he is more like his uncle P.
Personality::
Apollo is a man of many parts. He is extremely young at heart and so he takes great pride in his appearance and possessions. Another thing he takes great pride in are his children. They may not be epic heroes compared to some but he loves them all the same. Apollo is also very in love with love. Which is the main reason he has so many children, because he very much enjoys spending time with anyone who is the least bit human. Not to mention being as beautiful as he is, it's not hard to attract attention of well, everyone.
Unlike many gods, Apollo is extremely loyal and fiercely protective. First and foremost to his sister but also to his father and his half brother Hephaestus for giving Apollo the bow and arrows that saved Leto. Though he's normally a gentle god focused on harmony - in more ways then one - he is still the god of plagues. Apollo is not one to offend and his wrath is never pretty. If he feels personally attacked you can expect the rage of a god but hurt his family and you will face the full heat of the sun.
Despite his happy-go-lucky attitude Apollo - he has an odd sense of humor - is still a god of intellect. He rarely acts too quickly with out thinking and he tries his hardest to do what is best for his family, even if they don't always know it. Truth is also extremely important to Apollo, he can't stand lies and rarely sees a need for them. In Apollo's mind, lies are a sign of weakness. As the god of prophecy he takes the Oracles words very seriously. To him fate is a big deal and he judges heavily on someone's destiny. Like pride it is one of his many flaws. Despite this though, there are occasions when Apollo tries to save people from their fate.

History::
Even before he was born things were rather dramatic for the god of the arts. Zeus king of the gods had fallen in love with Leto, a Titan. Outraged by the news of Leto's pregnancy forbidding her to give birth on the islands and mainlands. So Leto gave birth on the floating island of Delos. There she gave birth to a set of twins Apollo and Artemis.
Apollo proved his skills at a young age. When he was still only a child Hera sent a dragon-serpent called Python to kill Leto. Using a golden bow and a set of arrows given to him by Hephaestus, Apollo killed Python. As a result, he became the owner of the Oracle of Delphi.
Over the years Apollo added more to his title as god. He became god of light, prophecy, healing, medicine, plague, truth, archery, and intelligence. He was also the patron god of sheperds and colonists. He along with his sister received thrones upon Olympus where they lived amongst the other gods but most importantly their father.
Since the Titans had been destroyed long before Apollo had been born there were few major conflicts that ever involved him. Compared to others a top Mount Olympus, Apollo was considerably very peaceful. He believed more in love then hate, which was clear by his attempt to seduce many humans, nymphs and even his sisters huntresses.
When news of Krono's rising started to spread Apollo wasn't sure what to expect at first. He had never faced the Titans, or even met his hazardous grandfather. For a while Apollo was content with letting the others - namely his father and Athena - figure out what was best to do. But when he found out his sister was kidnapped and she was clouded from him things became personal. Apollo broke the ancient law and helped Percy Jackson on his quest.
When the second war finally happened Apollo sided with his fellow Olympians and fought against Typhoon. It was during that time that Apollo swore in Rachel Elizabeth Dare as the new Oracle of Delphi. After Poseidon defeated Typhoon, Apollo - now clad in his cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirt - was there to thank Annabeth, Percy and Grover for their efforts.
Despite his love not hate state of mind, Apollo was rather rattled when he was forced to claim all his children. He didn't let it bother him too much though and he proved to be rather happy when he saw his cabin full once again. Apollo was very hurt by the deaths of his sons Lee and Michael.
He was under the impression that things would get better but as the good with great intellect -aside from Athena's- he is aware that a new danger arises with the minor gods. He has half a mind to stop the uprising himself but Apollo prefers to leave violence to his brother Ares.
