15 Second Summary |
Son of Hades and Persephone, Zagreus is a young god who has had enough of his dad's tyrannical rule and decides to leave the Underworld to find his absent mother--a task he finds much more arduous than expected. With the help of his extended family, the Olympians, Zagreus tries again and again to escape the Underworld, and even when he fails, he keeps trying. Not even death is enough to hold him back.
One might get the impression from this that Zagreus is stubborn, and that would be entirely correct. However, Zagreus is a god of dualities, a trait that is reflected in his mismatched eyes. As often as he can be ruthless, cocky, and insubordinate, so too can he be kind, compassionate, and friendly. Zagreus cares fiercely about the people important to him, though he's not above challenging them on their beliefs. He comes across as being somewhat carefree and not taking things seriously, which can come back to bite him in the ass sometimes. |
Abilities & Permissions |
Abilities |
Zagreus is immortal, more or less. He does have some mortal blood in him, but he cannot permanently die--he'll just come back, eventually. He can crystallize some of his blood and turn it into a projectile weapon, and he's been trained in how to wield six different weapon types: sword, spear, shield, bow, fists, and railgun. He can also play the lyre, kind of. |

Zag has died several hundred times in so many different ways, he's used to it. |
Sensing |
Is a god, albeit a minor one, and strongly associated with blood. There is a line of mortal blood in his lineage, which is why he bleeds red. Has an innate connection to the Underworld, and to death. |
