Looks::
Apollo is one smokin’ sexy sun god. The girls (or guys) can’t keep their hands off of his toned and usually bare torso. He charms everyone he meets with his golden brown skin and halo of sandy blonde hair. And if that weren’t enough, the perfectly honeyed irises will have you dropping your jaw in a hot second. That perfect, blazing smile that is as sizzling as the sun has been the cause of more than a few little Demigods at Camp Half-Blood. Unlike his icy sister, Apollo is more than willing to spread the ambrosial love of a God.
Personality::
Apollo is an amiable god. Although he is a twin to the Huntress Goddess Artemis, he couldn’t be more unlike her. Where she is icy and merciless, Apollo is warm and kind. He is a generally easygoing god and enjoys music and poetry. His jokes are bad and his poetry is lame, but then again, he’s always all about the laughs.
Towards the children he fathers, Apollo is amicable and lenient. He does, however, openly have favorites, and this causes dissension amongst his children, much to Apollo’s unintentional chagrin. He is always happy to teach a son or daughter to shot, or force them to listen to another poem of his, but he sometimes leaves children out unknowingly. Even as the sexiest and awesomest of all the gods, Apollo clearly still has some things to work on.
Family::
Mother: Leto (Titaness)
Father: Zeus
Sister: Artemis
History::
Four days after his birth, Apollo killed the chthonic dragon Python, which lived in Delphi beside the Castalian Spring. This was the spring which emitted vapors that caused the oracle at Delphi to give her prophesies. Hera sent the serpent to hunt Leto to her death across the world. In order to protect his mother, Apollo begged Hephaestus for a bow and arrows. After receiving them, Apollo cornered Python in the sacred cave at Delphi. Apollo killed Python but had to be punished for it, since Python was a child of Gaia.
Hera then sent the giant Tityos to kill Leto. This time Apollo was aided by his sister Artemis in protecting their mother. During the battle Zeus finally relented his aid and hurled Tityos down to Tartarus. There he was pegged to the rock floor, covering an area of 9 acres (36,000 m2), where a pair of vultures feasted daily on his liver.
When he was a bit older, Apollo noticed that the great Hunter Orion had taken a fancy to his sister, Artemis, and her, him. Always protective of his sister's chastity, he waited for Orion to go swimming far out into the ocean. When he could barely be seen, Apollo pointed to the distant speck that was Orion said to Artemis, “Look there. I challenge you that you cannot his that floating driftwood with your bow at this distance.” Proud Artemis easily hit the Hunter and, after she found out sett him amongst the stars in her grief.

Name/Nickname:: Nausikaa
Roleplaying Experience:: A little over a year
Sample RP::
Artemis’ self-righteous sermon about chastity and how awesome her Huntresses were certainly did not tickle Apollo’s fancy, so he leapt down from his golden throne on Olympus and made my his way to of New York City to see what could entertain him. He really would have liked to have gone sunbathing, but it was unfortunately Artemis’ time of day. He, instead, took his human form of an incredibly attractive young man, and walked around the great city, marveling at what the silly mortals had accomplished.
Deciding that the nightclubs were a drag, he wandered along until he came across a rather large building discreetly honoring Artemis herself. A slow, devious smile crept across his human lips and he approached the marble stairs. A little prank on his big sister would be just what he needed to do to pass time before dawn.
As he turned to go inside, however, he heard muffled scuffles. He sighed patiently, walking over to the dark alley. Mortals were always ruining everything. Probably some catfight, by the sound of it. Just as he was about to turn about and seek out the company of Hermes, he heard a panicked cry. He frowned and walked back towards the sound to see a rather large man pummeling a girl into the alley ground, he was also trying to unbuckle his belt.
Apollo’s face darkened and he summoned his bow quickly, notching an arrow faster than even Artemis. He trained it on the man and let it fly easily, the shaft going cleanly through his goiterous neck. There was a gurgled cry and the great man toppled over with a loud thud. Apollo lowered his bow and looked at the terrified young girl, who had blood and dirt smeared over her pretty face. Apollo walked over to her and offered a hand.
“You have nothing to fear. I am here to help,” He said soothingly.
