Other Characters Played: None.
Preferred Apartment: None.
Character Name: Hades
Canon: Canon
Canon Point: Post-canon.
Background/History: First of all, the background of the Olimpos doesn't match up completely with the Greek myths that most people know. Hades and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, have no parents. Persephone does not exist - in fact, there are maybe five real gods in the series. Gods are not all-knowing; they have to say something out loud to know if it's true or not. Nor are they omniscient. They are, however, for the most part, egotist jerks. With massive power. Not exactly the greatest combination. They aren't,
As for Hades himself, however, he did draw lots with his brothers and received the domain of everything under the earth. He was quite pleased with it, actually, and apparently enjoys being the yin to Zeus's yang, so to speak. (Neither of them think much of Poseidon, by the way.)
Within the actual story, Hades is... kind of a troll. Okay, he's definitely a troll. Whenever he shows up and talks, he tends to change opinions, change beliefs, and make people uncomfortable. Apollo, one of the central characters, is becoming more and more interested in a human priestess, and Hades mentions it to him in conversation. Eventually, he tells Apollo of 'rotting' - mortals that seem so sweet that they 'rot,' and in turn begin to rot everything around them. He says this to Apollo in his typical enigmatic manner and disappears in a flurry of black sand.
Yeah, he's kind of creepy.
Later on, he apparently follows Apollo's trail to the temple where the priestess stays, and appears to her. The woman sees him as a horrific beast, which confuses the other god greatly, as he hasn't heard of Hades's uncanny ability to be seen as whatever the viewer perceives as death, or the reflection of their greatest fear. Hades just smiles again and disappears. Again. Apollo, reasonably, is bewildered by what just happened. Sometime after this event, Hades again appears to Apollo and instigates a 'game' to describe the moon, which ends up being a roundabout discussion of Apollo's sister, Artemis - the goddess of the moon, whom Apollo meets regularly and calls 'the only person he needs,' and yet after meeting the human priestess, things have become more and more strange. A result, of course, of Hades's description of rotting.
The girl is sacrificed because the harvest has improved, and Apollo no longer finds the temple interesting. He returns to his sister, and Hades laughs, because Apollo grieves over his irretrievable past with his sister. And then he promptly talks circles around Ganymede, the young boy kidnapped by Apollo to lure Zeus's interest, once he meets him face to face.
Personality: As mentioned before, gods in Olimpos tend to be egotist jerks. Hades is no exception, although he is slightly more understanding of humans than most other gods. Fitting, perhaps, for his intimate connection with mortality. His brothers are far less connected with humans - Zeus has nothing 'above' him, and is unable to categorize anything without relativity. Poseidon is even more childish than the other gods, and sees humans as just... humans. Hades, on the other hand, is endlessly curious, always trying to prove things in his deadpan and yet incredibly creepy manner. This could, though, just be another one of his ruses to fight off eternal boredom. Being immortal can get boring sometimes, you know.
On that subject, it's pretty obvious that Hades's primary motivation for anything is amusement. He's fairly benign for a god, and might even do something for you if you ask nicely and if he thinks the consequences will be entertaining. That said, he has no qualms about messing with mortals on his own time. Additionally, all those godmod powers? He honestly doesn't use them much, because he'd rather be amused than have mortals worshiping him, unlike Poseidon, who reveals himself to humans often enough so that they think that all gods are as macho as he. Hades keeps out of sight for almost all of the time and is strangely unobtrusive, choosing to appear almost randomly and very quietly.
He has no interest in being worshiped. Most of the gods in Olimpos don't, except for Poseidon, who takes attention from anywhere he can get it. Hades and Apollo are the most similar in that they spend their time trying to seek out ways to change the status quo. They don't understand who they are outside of what they have asked themselves and found to be true — they are gods, and they cannot lie. For the most part, Hades is content with that, and he shows interest in his origins only as a means of 'killing time'. He's more interested in changing external factors. By abducting Ganymede into the garden, he and Apollo are trying to coerce Zeus into showing interest in what's below him. They don't know what might happen if they succeed, but it's interesting, and that's all Hades cares about.
Hades is perpetually calm and smiling with what looks like morbid amusement, and the only displeasure he shows is faint at most. He also has a way of speaking that leaves most people frustrated - he doesn't answer questions directly or immediately, and is perfectly fine with answering any inquiry with some sort of allegory or curious explanation. Despite his implacable veneer, Hades does get irritated at times, though it's mainly implied in canon that it takes quite a lot of pushing. Above all, Hades is an individual interested in amusement and not much else.
