History Characters / OlympusOverdrive

* VitrolicBestBuds: With Hades.

* MaliciousMisnaming: The only thing that coincides with every stupid name she calls her mortal it's that all start with "Mar", which gives her a plany to choose from.

* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Hades is not the evil overlod of the Underworld like modern times picture him but a shy and rather awkward guy who was so inmerse in his work to show up in the era of myths, resulting in very little info about him that just fueled people's misconceptions; he actually is touched when Max calls him friend and he loves Persephone dearly.

* JerkassGods: Max's initial opinion of him, though he changes his mind after they get to know eachother.

%% * {{Adorkable}}

%% * GirlishPigtails

%% * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette

* PunnyName : She has the last name of Jupiter and ended up with Zeus as a partner. Doubles as a MeaningfulName.

A famous model who is Zeus' partner.

Mortal partner of Aphrodite. Kind of a [[{{Hikikomori}} shut in.]]

* RealWomenNeverWearDresses: Seems to be the reason she's all dark and gloomy. She likes things that are pink and girly, but people kept saying it was "unfitting" for her to wear that sort of thing (whatever the heck that means), she took up a Goth persona instead.

!! Ellie Jupiter

* GirlishPigtails

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette

* HiddenDepths: The very fact that Aphrodite looks like she does proves that in spite of her protests, Agnes really does like "girly" things like make-up and the color pink.

* {{Adorkable}}

* DeadpanSnarker

!! Aphrodite

The goddess of love, beauty and procreation. Loves her husband Hephaestus, but is a bit vain.

* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Surprisingly averted. Aphrodite is beautiful, but matches more closely with the ancient Greek standard of beauty, with a bit more weight than might be considered attractive in the modern era.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Inverted. Besides it apparently being her motif, Aphrodite's attempts to get Agnes to put on makeup probably have a great deal to do with her personal quest.
** Of course, according to Agnes, this trope is TruthInTelevision.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Okay, most of the gods aren't lacking in the looks department, but she ''is'' the goddess of beauty.

!! Agnes

Mortal partner of Aphrodite. Kind of a [[{{Hikikomori}} shut in.]]

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* {{Goth}}: If her clothing and furniture are any indication, anyway. There are a ''lot'' of skulls in that room.
* HollywoodHomely/GenericCuteness: Agnes doesn't look that bad, but Aphrodite insists on trying to get Agnes to work on her appearance anyway.
* LonersAreFreaks: If you ask Aphrodite, anyway. May relate to Agnes' personal quest.

* PunnyName : She has the last name of Jupiter and ended up as Zeus as a partner. Doubles as a MeaningfulName.

* PinkMeansFeminine

* BigBeautifulWoman: She's rather more hefty than most portrayals of her, which calls back to earlier ideals of beauty which had larger women as more attractive.

A 19 year old IT consultant living at home with his ailing mother. One day he took a personality quiz online and the next thing he knew he was part of Olympus Overdrive, the game of the gods, with Hades, lord of the underworld as his partner.

A possibly Australian girl of Chinese descent. Her partner is Poseidon.

The blacksmith of the gods.

* ShrinkingViolet: Painfully shy, so much so that he is the one with a task to complete (Assertiveness) when it's usually an assigned mortal who does.

A 19ish year old IT consultant living at home with his ailing mother. One day he took a personality quiz online and the next thing he knew he was part of Olympus Overdrive, the game of the gods, with Hades, lord of the underworld as his partner.

!! Alex

A kid from Russia. His partner is Hepheastus

* IllGirl

* LoopholeAbuse
----

* DisproportionateRetribution: Inevitable where the story of Medusa comes into play.
* GameBreaker: In-universe. Comments made by Zeus suggest he knows where all the other gods were rebooted at, and in what form. In addition to having the game master, Pandora, answering to him, this means that Zeus has a number of advantages that the others lack. Also, Eris has figured out a faster way to the top...
* GenderBender: [[spoiler: Zeus, along with Poseidon, was incarnated as a woman for the game.]]
* GirlishPigtails: Bobby.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Any of Hades' curse words. 'Crab fuzz' and 'flugging' just to name two. He actually took a pledge not to curse anyone in any way, so that Persephone wouldn't be forced to carry out those curses, as is her job as queen of the underworld.
* HeroicBSOD: Hef after getting Hades's message from Hermes.

* IllGirl: Max' mom. And [[spoiler:Bobby has Meniere's Disease and is gradually losing her hearing]].
* InstantArmor: How Hephaestus and his mortal fight.
* JerkassGods: Max's initial opinion of Hades isn't promising, and this is definitely the case with Eris and Ares.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: One of the consequences of losing the Olympus Overdrive (if you're a mortal) is forgetting it ever took place.
* LighterAndSofter: When Poseidon tells the story of Medusa, he says he "defiled" Athena's temple by sharing a forbidden kiss with Medusa, which is why she was cursed. [[RapeAsDrama That is not how it happens in the original myth.]]
** Most of the gods ([[AxCrazy with the exception of Eris]]) are somewhat nicer versions of themselves from the myths.

* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Hephaestus' partner Alex, as much as a pre-teen can fulfill this trope.
* NoExceptYes: Zeus claims she doesn't make mistakes. Then immediate says that when she does, they aren't that insignificant.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Park Bong-Cha is almost always called Bobby.

* SadisticChoice: Eris presents one of these to Hades. Oh, and he has 10 seconds to decide. [[spoiler: see BigDamnHeroes above.]]
* SadlyMythtaken: Poseidon's infamous...encounter with Medusa is reduced to a mutual kiss.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Bobby and Jackie.
* SkewedPriorities: When Bobby learns that school has been cancelled her first thought is to wonder if there's a dingo in the building.
* SlasherSmile: Eris. "We could all use a little ''discord'' after all!"
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Poseidon and Bobby.
* TotallyRadical: Zeus tries a [[SoBadItsGood bit too hard]] [[NarmCharm to imitate (his idea of) the 21th century's youth culture...]]
* WorthyOpponent: After defeating Bia, Hephaestus' partner Alex says Bia and his own partner were this.
* {{Yandere}}: Eris's mortal, as mentioned above.

A 19ish year old IT consultant living at home with his ailing mother.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Hades.

* CloudCuckooLander: SO MUCH. She created the Olympus Overdrive as his solution to the complaints he was getting from the other gods, giving them the opportunity to take his place if they managed to win. He does have an advantage, since he's the only one who really knows all the rules, but it's not entirely clear he has a plan to win at this point.

Blacksmith of the gods.

* InstantArmor
----

* Adorkable

* Adorkable / AdorablyPrecociousChild: Hades' human form is that of an AmbiguouslyBrown preteen boy in a white school uniform.

!!Ares

The man himself. Or herself as the case may be. King of the gods. God of lightning and thunder.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is gold.
* CloudCuckooLander: SO MUCH
