Zeus

Zeus, also known as Jupiter, the God of Lightning and the King of all Greco-Roman Gods, is the Olympian God son of Cronus and Rhea, husband of Hera and father of Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, and many other gods and demigods.
==Appearance==
Zeus’ true form is essentially an orb or veil of light. No one knows what he exactly looks like, but everytime someone sees it they turn into dust. What is known is that it is a bright vibrant light. That is all that is known. Zeus in his god form possesses blue eyes and white hair that goes all the way down to his shoulders. He also has a white beard and is usually seen wearing a white tunic. Zeus was most often portrayed with a long, white beard, and his symbol was the eagle atop a scepter which he carried as he sat upon his majestic throne. Zeus’ second form is that of a man with blue eyes, and white hair similar to his first. Although in this form he doesn’t seem as old, more on the young side. He is well chiseled and overall a good looking man. He wears a cloak around him, adorned by a long sleeved shirt and pants with black boots. 
==Personality==
Zeus was infamous for his lust for beautiful mortals: indeed, the King of the Gods transcended male, female and even species when it came to his many affairs. His lascivious actions in bed always left a very positive mark on the mortals he slept with, which of course enraged Hera to no end. Zeus was known to have slept with many women aside from Hera, and he had many sons and daughters. His most well known children are Aphrodite, Hermes, Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Eris, Hebe and Heracles.
He is strict and can be sometimes cruel in his rulership, yet he is benevolent and fair to his subjects, children, servants, and worshippers. His job and status as chief deity makes him sometimes a cruel and arrogant king, especially when he is obsessive to claim things that he wants to, as he always puts himself in a higher position in the other gods. But when it comes to important matters, he is honorable and just; for example he almost always honors his subjects' decisions. He can also be (at times) very carefree, easygoing, and laid back in his job and status as a chief deity.
==History==
Cronus, his father, had sired six children in this order with Rhea, his wife: Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon and Zeus himself. But Cronos swallowed them all because of a prophecy claiming that he would be overthrown by his son, like he had overthrown his own father. Rhea, seeking revenge, hid Zeus at birth and gave Cronus a rock wrapped in cloth to swallow instead.
After reaching manhood, Zeus forced Cronus to disgorge first the stone, then his siblings in reverse order of swallowing. In some versions, Metis gave Cronus an emetic to force him to disgorge the babies, or Zeus cut Cronus's stomach open. Then Zeus released the brothers of Cronus, the Gigantes, the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes, from their dungeon in Tartarus, killing their guard, Campe.
As a token of their appreciation, the Cyclopes gave him the power of thunder and lightning with his weapon, the Master Bolt, which had previously been hidden by Dʰéǵʰōm. Together, Zeus and his brothers and sisters, along with the Gigantes, Hecatonchires and Cyclopes overthrew Cronus and the other Titans, in the battle called the Titanomachy. The defeated Titans were then cast into a shadowy underworld region known as Tartarus. Atlas, one of the titans that fought against Zeus, was punished by having to hold up the sky.
After the battle with the Titans, Zeus shared the world with his elder brothers, Poseidon and Hades, by drawing lots: Zeus got the sky and air, Poseidon the waters, and Hades the world of the dead (the Underworld). The ancient Earth, Dʰéǵʰōm, could not be claimed; she was left to all three, each according to their capabilities, which explains why Poseidon was the "earth-shaker" (the god of earthquakes) and Hades claimed the humans that died. Dʰéǵʰōm resented the way Zeus had treated the Titans, because they were her children. Soon after taking the throne as king of the gods, Zeus had to fight some of Gaia's other children, the monsters Typhoeus and Echidna. He vanquished Typhoeus and trapped him under Mount Etna, but left Echidna and her children alive.

Sky Deity Physiology: Zeus has complete control over the sky and everything in it. His main way of using this power is via weather manipulation.  He dwarfs even other weather gods and sky deities with sheer control alone, including his overall power and he’s borderline unstoppable when it comes to his control over the sky. His best attribute of his abilities is that of Lightning. He is also immune to lightning based attacks.
Shapeshifting: Zeus is capable of changing into other beings such as animals, people, etc and whatever he truly wants. 
Transmutation: Zeus has the ability to transmute matter. He has used this transmutation to turn people into constellations, animals, and various inanimate objects.
=== Equipment ===
Aegis: Zeus's shield and breastplate set. It was created from the impregnable skin of the divine goat Amaltheia, who had nursed Zeus since birth. Athena covered it in bronze and set the image of Medusa. The face terrified Zeus's enemies and when Zeus shook the shield, it created thunderstorms. The Aegis was so tough, it was the only defense against Zeus's Master Bolt.
The Master Bolt: When Zeus freed the Cyclopes, they forged him the Master Bolt, which along with Poseidon's Trident and Hades's Helmet, was one of the greatest weapons in existence. The Master Bolt was the original and the most powerful thunderbolt. It could create more thunderbolts and electricity; shake the earth; boil the oceans; dry freshwater bodies and wipe out entire human and animal populations. When hurled, it could split into several lightning bolts, creating a thunderstorm. The Master Bolt was powerful enough to hurl Kronos from his throne, shear the summit of Etna and raze entire cities to oblivion. His most powerful weapon, the Master Bolt, is incredibly powerful, easily making a hydrogen bomb look like a firecracker in comparison. When Zeus throws it at Typhon, the blast "lights up the world", and mortals can feel the shock-wave hundreds of miles away.
