| 5 | [[caption-width-right:136:Just an ordinary boy.]] |
| 6 | 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.\ |
| 7 | '''Assigned task:''' Self-confidence. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * TheCaretaker: To his mother, who appears to have diabetes. |
| 10 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Possibly, since his assigned task is improve his self-confidence. |
| 11 | * OnlySaneMan: Plays TheStraightMan to Hades, even more so when Zeus is around. |
| 12 | * ShipTease: Choosing his answer in [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=220 this]] flash comic allows a little between him and Elsyia. |
| 13 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Hades. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | !!Hades |
| 17 | [[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hades2_6792.png]] |
| 18 | [[caption-width-right:132:The god of the Underworld. No, really!]] |
| 19 | The erstwhile lord of the underworld. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: Hades' human form is that of an AmbiguouslyBrown preteen boy in a white school uniform who behaves like a little prince. |
| 22 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Since Max put purple as his favorite color in the quiz, Hades' skin became purple when he was incarnated in the game. |
| 23 | * BadassCape: In his fighting clothes. |
| 24 | * BigDamnHeroes: Rescuing Max when he's kidnapped. |
| 25 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Though he's got problems dealing with people, he's not a bad god. |
| 26 | * DeepSleep: The rare times Hades manage to sleep, is a very deep sleep. Max says Hades doesn't even seem to ''breathe''. |
| 27 | * EverybodyHatesHades: Largely averted. Max does consider Hades a bit of a jerk at first, but that's just because Hades doesn't know how to deal with people very well. Comments by the other gods suggest he's always been a bit of a loner, but this isn't portrayed as a negative thing. |
| 28 | * ExhaustedEyeBags: Being the god of the underworld, where all souls go is a strenuous job; Hades has very prominent bags under his eyes that show that he doesn't sleep much ([[TheSleepless if at all]]). |
| 29 | * FriendlessBackground: He's always been a bit of a loner. |
| 30 | * GoshDangItToHeck: He took an oath never to use any curse words so that Persephone, as is her duty as queen of the underworld, would not have to carry them out. |
| 31 | * HeroicBSOD: Played for laughs when he finds out he's only allowed to eat pizza rolls, which he considers an inferior copy of plakous, an ancient Greek dish thought to be a precursor to pizza. |
| 32 | * HornedHumanoid: He has large horns on his head. Played for laughs when he's digging through Max's clothes for something wear and for some reason decides on a turtle neck, which goes as well as you might expect. |
| 33 | * JerkassGods: Max's initial opinion of him, though he changes his mind after they get to know each other. |
| 34 | * MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Hades is not the evil overlord of the Underworld like modern times picture him but a shy and rather awkward guy who was too immersed in his work to show up in the era of myths, resulting in very little info about him, which just fueled people's misconceptions; he actually is touched when Max calls him a friend, he loves Persephone dearly and really can't understand why people hate him so much. |
| 35 | * OlderThanTheyLook: All of the gods, but especially Hades since he was incarnated as a child in the game. |
| 36 | * SadisticChoice: Eris presents one of these to Hades. Oh, and he has 10 seconds to decide. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | !!Zeus |
| 39 | [[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeus_5525.png]] |
| 40 | [[caption-width-right:148:God of Ur heart ;-)]] |
| 41 | The man himself. [[GenderBender Or herself as the case may be]]. King of the gods. God of lightning and thunder. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin is gold. |
| 44 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Zeus stopping Eris from killing Persephone's mortal.]] |
| 45 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: SO MUCH. He 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. |
| 46 | * DeadpanSnarker: When she isn't being TotallyRadical. |
| 47 | * DirtyOldWoman: Considering Zeus's [[ReallyGetsAround reputation]], this was innevitable. |
| 48 | -->'''Zeus:''' (''about Max'') Hmmm,, Iunno, he looks pretty ok to me~\ |
| 49 | '''Ellie:''' Wow, gross. He must be, literally, at least an eon younger than you.\ |
| 50 | '''Hades:''' Let us not forget Zeus's marital status.\ |
| 51 | '''Zeus:''' HOH-KAY! LET'S CHANGE THAT SUBJECT RIGHT UP, SHALL WE? |
| 52 | * TheGadfly: Whenever Hades is involved, expect her to do a bit of trolling. |
| 53 | -->'''Zeus:''' (''to Hades'') Haddie! Why must you always reject me such? Let me love you! Let me wrap you up in my love! |
| 54 | * GameBreaker: In-universe. Comments made by Zeus suggest she knows where all the other gods were rebooted at, and in what form. In addition to having the game master, Pandora, answering to her, this means that Zeus has a number of advantages that the others lack. |
| 55 | * GenderBender: He became a woman for the game. |
| 56 | * TheGodsMustBeLazy: Subverted. By her own admission, Zeus would ''like'' to be lazy, but she always kept getting dragged into conflicts and ended up having to turn someone into something. She used to send souls down to Hades because she didn't want to deal with them herself. |
| 57 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her primary colors are white and gold, fittingly enough for the King (Queen?) of the Gods. |
| 58 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: "I don't make mistakes, kid. And when I do, they're not this insignificant." |
| 59 | * KingOfAllCosmos: It's thanks to him that the contest for supreme rulership of the gods hinges on mortals' responses to a corny internet popup and personality quiz. His appearances so far suggest that this is neither [[OmniscientMoralityLicense ineffably wise,]] nor [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} remotely atypical]] behavior for him. |
| 60 | * LargeHam: Very much so. |
| 61 | * LoveFreak: She calls herself "Zeus, God of ur heart ;-)" but her attempts at spreading love makes her sound a little like a creep and makes everyone uncomfortable. |
| 62 | * PromotionToParent: Kinda inevitable if you know anything about Greek myth. |
| 63 | * TotallyRadical: Zeus tries a [[SoBadItsGood bit too hard]] [[NarmCharm to imitate (his idea of) the 21st century's youth culture...]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | !!Elsyia "Ellie" Jupiter |
| 66 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ellieoo_1534.png]] |
| 67 | [[caption-width-right:130:Beautiful and knows it.]] |
| 68 | A famous model who is Zeus' partner.\ |
| 69 | '''Assigned task:''' Humility |
| 70 | |
| 71 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Golden eyes for golden hair. |
| 72 | * DeadpanSnarker: When she meets Hades for the first time she snarks about his outfit, asking if he's the god of boxes. |
| 73 | * PunnyName: She has the last name of Jupiter and ended up with Zeus as a partner. Doubles as a MeaningfulName. |
| 74 | * RichBitch: She's a famous model, and her task is humility. Odds are she's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold though. |
| 75 | * StatuesqueStunner: A famous model and her height is 5'11''. She also has no complexes over it, enough to give to Zeus her same height. |
| 76 | * {{Tsundere}}: Choosing Max's answer in [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=220 this]] flash, and she gets to show a little of BelligerentSexualTension between her and Max. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | !!Poseidon |
| 79 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poseidon_1977.png]] |
| 80 | [[caption-width-right:200:She demands all yer wine.]] |
| 81 | God of the sea. Her partner is Bobby. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The hue of her skin is blue as the sea. |
| 84 | * CoolBigSis: Acts his way towards Bobby, worring over her illness and teasing her around. |
| 85 | * GenderBender: Like Zeus, he became a she for the game. |
| 86 | * HeroicBSOD: When he founds out that he's now a ''beardless'' chick. |
| 87 | * HotBlooded: Poseidon is always ready to jump into action and kick ass. |
| 88 | * LastNameBasis: Poseidon calls Bobby by her last name, Park. |
| 89 | * 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.]] |
| 90 | * ManIFeelLikeAWoman: Notice closely; when Bobby calls him "ma'am", Poseidon's seeing touching his new...err...equipment in confusion. |
| 91 | * PirateGirl: Thanks to GenderBender. |
| 92 | * QuirkyCurls: In her human disguise. |
| 93 | * SadlyMythtaken: Poseidon's infamous...encounter with Medusa is reduced to a mutual kiss. Then again, there are versions of the myth where Poseidon and Medusa were mutual lovers, which is likely what the event was based on. |
| 94 | * TalkLikeAPirate: Her speech leans towards nautical themes. Fitting for a god(dess) of the sea. |
| 95 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Bobby's Girly Girl. Emphasized with her dislike of showers because Bobby takes a lot of time getting ready. |
| 96 | * InelegantBlubbering: When Poseidon founds out about Bobby's disease. |
| 97 | * YouthfulFreckles: To emphasize her tomboyishness. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | !!Bobby (Bong-Cha Park) |
| 100 | [[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_1795.png]] |
| 101 | [[caption-width-right:185:Frequent visitor of "freejugz.com".]] |
| 102 | A possibly Australian girl of Chinese ancestry. Her partner is Poseidon.\ |
| 103 | '''Assigned task:''' Courage |
| 104 | |
| 105 | * CowardlySidekick: With the loud and badass Poseidon as partner. |
| 106 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She recognize that she's very clumsy. Justified; she has Meniere's disease that affect her internal ear, which also affects her balance. |
| 107 | * GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair in pigtails. |
| 108 | * LovableCoward: She's a sick and shy OrdinaryHighschoolStudent involved in a battle of gods. |
| 109 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her real name is Bong-Cha Park (Though her name is Chinese, the cast page renders it in western order), but everyone calls her Bobby. |
| 110 | ** GenderBlenderName: Bobby is typically a diminutive of Robert. |
| 111 | * SheCleansUpNicely: She went from a [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=130 cute and awkward schoolgirl]] to a [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=276 beautiful and fashionable babe]] with just changing her hairdo and clothing. |
| 112 | * SkewedPriorities: When Bobby learns that school has been cancelled her first thought is to wonder if there's a dingo in the building. |
| 113 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Poseidon's Tomboy. Emphasized [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=275 here]] |
| 114 | |
| 115 | !!Hephaestus |
| 116 | [[quoteright:171:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hep_1256.png]] |
| 117 | [[caption-width-right:171:A huge, huggable teddy bear. [[spoiler:In more than a sense.]]]] |
| 118 | The blacksmith of the gods. His partner is Alexander.\ |
| 119 | '''Assigned task:''' Assertiveness |
| 120 | |
| 121 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin [[spoiler:and the fur in his face]] is green. |
| 122 | * AnimalMotifs: Teddy bears. |
| 123 | * ArrangedMarriage: Like in the original myths, Hephaestus and Aphrodite were forced to get married. |
| 124 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: Hephaestus is naturally very tall, but it's especially apparent when standing next to Alex, because he's nearly twice Alex's height. |
| 125 | * BishieSparkle: [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=243 In his human form]] |
| 126 | * CollaredByFashion: Zipped his coat high enough to hide his face. First thought to be because of his shyness, [[spoiler:later revealed to be to hide his bear-like face.]] |
| 127 | * ExpressiveAccessory; His shoulder pads change with his mood. |
| 128 | * GentleGiant: By far the tallest cast member with 7'5'', yet one of the most adorable ones. |
| 129 | * HeroicBSOD: When he found out Aphrodite was coming to see him. |
| 130 | * InsecureLoveInterest: To his wife Aphrodite because of his past of not being the most handsome man. And now with the reboot, it's worse. [[spoiler:He has been avoiding her because he has now [[FreakinessShame a bear-like face]].]] |
| 131 | * InstantArmor: He can create armor instantly, which is actually how they fight, he makes armor for Alex who does all the fighting. |
| 132 | * InTheHood: Until recently, Hephaestus kept his hood up and his coat zipped up to his nose at all times. [[spoiler: [[FreakinessShame There's a reason for this.]]]] |
| 133 | * LittleBitBeastly: Turns out the bear motif [[spoiler:extends to [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com//index.php?id=250 his face]].]] |
| 134 | * ShrinkingViolet: Painfully shy, so much so that he is the one with a task to complete when it's usually an assigned mortal who does. |
| 135 | * UltimateBlacksmith: Comes with the territory of being the god of blacksmiths. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | !!Alexander Yelizarov |
| 138 | [[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexoo_4816.png]] |
| 139 | [[caption-width-right:132:Little body, soul of a warrior.]] |
| 140 | An 11 year old kid from Russia. His partner is Hephaestus. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | * BadassAdorable: He's a 11 year old fighter and his weapon is a teddy bear-themed armor, for crying aloud! |
| 143 | * BadButt: A prepubescent boy kicking butts in a teddy bear armor. More awesome than it sounds. |
| 144 | * BearsAreBadNews: Thanks to his AnimalMotif and his aggressive personality. |
| 145 | * MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: As much as a pre-teen can fulfill this trope. |
| 146 | * NoSell: His fight with Bia. Bia uses ice based attacks on a ''Russian'' boy, who has lived through cold winters all his life. |
| 147 | * ParentalAbandonment: He's an orphan with no memory of his birth parents. |
| 148 | * TheStoic: His primary flaw is his inability to open up and share his emotions. |
| 149 | * TestosteronePoisoning: Again, as much as an 11 year old boy can fulfill this trope. He gets into a fight with Hades over what a "real man" is, with Alex taking the position that [[ARealManIsAKiller it's better to punch someone you've got a problem with than talk it out.]] |
| 150 | * WorthyOpponent: After defeating Bia, he says Bia and his own partner were this. |
| 151 | |
| 152 | !!Aphrodite |
| 153 | [[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aphrodite1_3292.png]] |
| 154 | [[caption-width-right:186:For a world of beauty, love and perfume.]] |
| 155 | Goddess of love, beauty, procreation and pleasure. |
| 156 | |
| 157 | * ArrangedMarriage: Like in the original myths, Hephaestus and Aphrodite were forced to get married. Aphrodite wasn't faithful at first, but she grew to appreciate Heph. |
| 158 | * BigBeautifulWoman: She's rather more hefty than most modern portrayals of her, which calls back to earlier ideals of beauty which had larger women as more attractive. |
| 159 | * GirlyBruiser: Aphodite is the egregious definition of femenine, but she's one of the most powerful players of the game. She and Agnes have defeated around ''18 opponents''. |
| 160 | * 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. |
| 161 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable: One of the options in [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=241 this]] strip show that part of the reason Aph wants to go to see Heph is to see what the reboot did with him. [[spoiler:Later, it gets darker when Aph admits she wants him to love himself a little more.]] |
| 162 | * 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. |
| 163 | * OddCouple: With her mortal, Agnes, who's a Goth, hates makeup and fangirls over Hades and his devil-look. |
| 164 | * PinkMeansFeminine: The color of her skin and clothes is pink. |
| 165 | * WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Okay, most of the gods aren't lacking in the looks department, but she ''is'' the goddess of beauty. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | !!Agnes Cereus |
| 168 | [[quoteright:161:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/agnes_9768.png]] |
| 169 | [[caption-width-right:161:She's not happy to see you.]] |
| 170 | Mortal partner of Aphrodite. Kind of a [[{{Hikikomori}} shut in.]]\ |
| 171 | '''Assigned task:''' Self-acceptance. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | * BeYourself: Her main problem is being too affected by what people say about her image. Aphrodite tries to get her out of her self-imposed goth shell. |
| 174 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Agnes has shadowed eyes. They must be natural since she has demonstrated her disgust for eyeshadow. |
| 175 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Curiously, her eyes get a little of light when Aphrodite forces her to put on some mascara. |
| 176 | * {{Fangirl}}: Of [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=253 Hades]]. |
| 177 | * {{Goth}}: If her clothing and furniture are any indication, anyway. There are a ''lot'' of skulls in that room. |
| 178 | * 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. The cast page confirms it. |
| 179 | * HollywoodHomely[=/=]GenericCuteness: Agnes doesn't look that bad, but Aphrodite insists on trying to get Agnes to work on her appearance anyway. |
| 180 | * LonersAreFreaks: If you ask Aphrodite, anyway. May relate to Agnes' personal quest. |
| 181 | * NightmareFetishist: She's not into vampires....she's into demons. |
| 182 | * RealWomenDontWearDresses: 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. |
| 183 | |
| 184 | !!Eris |
| 185 | [[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eris_5625.png]] |
| 186 | [[caption-width-right:170:"We all could use some chaos..."]] |
| 187 | Goddess of chaos. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin color is black. |
| 190 | * AndIMustScream: She turned her mortal into a hat. That can cry. |
| 191 | * AppleOfDiscord: The symbol of Eris, goddess of Discord, is an apple. |
| 192 | * AxCrazy: Both Eris and her mortal. |
| 193 | * BigBad: She's shaping up to be this. |
| 194 | * CreepyChild: Physically she seems pretty young, around the same age as Hades, maybe a bit older. And between the chaos goddess thing and the eye motif, she's got creepy in spades. |
| 195 | * CuteAndPsycho: Eris looks kind of like a young girl for the game. |
| 196 | * DarkIsEvil: Eris' color scheme is very dark. |
| 197 | * IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:Eris kidnaps Persephone and her mortal to try and force Hades to surrender.]] |
| 198 | * JerkassGods: Very very very much. |
| 199 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: She call out one of her minion eyes for not showing [[spoiler:Persephone's face]] to "the viewers" right out. |
| 200 | * LoopholeAbuse: Eris says she's spent quite some time finding stuff the rules don't forbid. Like the fact that you don't necessarily have to cut the chain of another mortal and god, killing the mortal will mean the god is out of the game. Though you yourself can't level up or get their powers. |
| 201 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Eris' mortal was a surgeon who fell in love with one of her patients. After his upcoming surgery, he would leave the hospital, and she was afraid of never seeing him again. So she made the adult, rational choice of intentionally botching the surgery and killing him so that he could never leave her. And then she snuck into the morgue and cut out his eyes for good measure. Romantic, no? |
| 202 | * MaliciousMisnaming: The only thing that coincides with every stupid name she calls her mortal it's that all start with "Mar", which gives her plenty to work with. |
| 203 | -->'''Eris:''' Ok, so her name is Marie Sullivan. WAIT! ...Was it Marla? No, it's definitely Marinara! Marinara? Marijuana? Mar-Mar-Mar....Mar-something. |
| 204 | * MasterOfIllusion: Her weapons are eyes, so combined with her powers to cause chaos, she can make visual illusions. |
| 205 | * OddCouple: Seemingly subverted. Despite every other god/mortal pair being this, Eris and her mortal aren't polar opposites. They're both AxeCrazy psychos. |
| 206 | * PaintingTheFourthWall: She can vandalize her own flashbacks. |
| 207 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes (and sometimes sclera) turn red when she's about to get serious. Also, her flying eye minions are red. |
| 208 | * ReligionOfEvil: Many teenagers are gathering around her in a sort of {{Cult}}. |
| 209 | * SlasherSmile: "We could all use a little ''discord'' after all!" |
| 210 | * StealthPun: Eris's mortal treasured a certain pair of eyes which lead to Eris's new motif becoming eyes. One could even say they were the "apple of her eye." |
| 211 | * VillainousCrush: Or maybe it's just another way to troll Hades; but she really likes to torture him the most (both in person and online), it's very excited over the fact of [[MurderTheHypotenuse hurting Persephone]] (and [[ForcedToWatch make him watch]]) and unlike Zeus and Aphrodite, she uses his nickname "Haddie" as a TermOfEndangerment. |
| 212 | * {{Yandere}}: Eris's mortal, as mentioned above. |
| 213 | |
| 214 | |
| 215 | !!Artemis |
| 216 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artemis_7311.png]] |
| 217 | [[caption-width-right:149:[[ViewerGenderConfusion The result of the 'Other' option?]]]] |
| 218 | Goddess of the moon, the hunt and young girls. Her mortal partner is P.K., who seems to be a popular singer of some sort. |
| 219 | |
| 220 | * AffectionateNickname: Apollo calls her [[TomboyishName "Artie"]]. |
| 221 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has silver skin. |
| 222 | * AmbiguousGender: P.K. describes himself as agender, so it's likely that he choose the "Other" option. |
| 223 | * BadassCape: Part of her outfit for the game. |
| 224 | * BrotherSisterTeam: Artemis and Apollo are playing the game together. |
| 225 | * CoolCrown: The fan on her head looks like if it's a tiara. |
| 226 | * DeadpanSnarker: "Apollo. You know that I am here. [[http://www.olympusoverdrive.com/index.php?id=278 There is a chain leading the path.]]" |
| 227 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Thanks to her silver skin and dark blue hair. |
| 228 | * HornedHumanoid: Has antlers. |
| 229 | * IcyBlueEyes[=/=]OccultBlueEyes: To emphasize her stoicness and the fact that she's an Olympian. |
| 230 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Artemis gets the Spongebob's reference that Bobby, Apollo and P.K made, and Apollo implies that Artie does watch the show. |
| 231 | * OddCouple: Like with nearly everyone else, P.K. is very cheerful and out-going, opposed to Artemis' TheStoic act. Artemis even lampshades it, as Apollo and his mortal are a complete switch from these two, wondering why she was paired with P.K. and not Harper. |
| 232 | * PolarOppositeTwins: While Artemis is a stoic, straight person, Apollo seems to be more playful and expressive. Also, Artemis has a cold colors' motif while Apollo wears warm colors. |
| 233 | * PronounTrouble: Averted. While Artemis has no problem with neutral pronouns, she would never agree to be referred as a male. [[MythologyGag This calls back to her]] DoesNotLikeMen tendencies. |
| 234 | * SpockSpeak: She does not use contractions. Lampshaded for her brother. |
| 235 | * StraightMan: Artemis never fools around. This makes Artemis the serious part when Apollo and P.K goof around and one of the few people Hades can get along with. |
| 236 | * TheStoic: As seen in the cast page and her chat with Hades. |
| 237 | |
| 238 | !!Apollo |
| 239 | [[quoteright:287:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/apollo_8604.png]] |
| 240 | [[caption-width-right:287:As a boy or as a girl, still hot.]] |
| 241 | Artemis' twin brother and god of the sun, arts and young boys. His mortal partner is Harper, who seems to be a popular singer of some sort. |
| 242 | |
| 243 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is a kind of light reddish color. |
| 244 | * AmbiguousGender: Harper describes herself as bigender, so it's likely that she choose the "Other" option. |
| 245 | * AnimeHair: Apollo's blonde hair is shaped like a [[MythologyGag laurel wreath]]. |
| 246 | * BoyishShortHair: Harper's choice of hairstyle. |
| 247 | * BrotherSisterTeam: Apollo and Artemis are playing the game together. |
| 248 | * ClockworkCreature: Possibly. His motif seems to involve gears, according to his outfit. |
