=== General ===
Hades was a stickler for order and bureaucracy, and he seemed very stoic, cold, or even apathetic to most things. Hades had a softer side that he really only showed to Persephone, his children, and Cerberus. Hades was rather indifferent to the affairs of mortals, only taking interest if it meddled with his affairs or was a threat to the order of the world. Otherwise, Hades stuck to doing his job and caring for his family.
== Appearance ==
As a God, hades could shapeshift to his heart's desire and he had a true form that could not be gazed upon by mortals. Despite this, Hades had a favorite form that he took most often, only rarely using his true form much like the rest of the Gods.
=== Primary Form ===
Hades' primary form was that of a Greek man with black hair, red eyes with black sclera, and deathly pale skin. Hades was an extremely large and muscular standing at 10'8" and having a burly build that even the most dedicated of powerlifters and bodybuilders would be envious of. Hades outwardly appeared human, however, his divine aura and eye color indicated his divine nature. Despite being the eldest of the brothers, Hades looked younger than Zeus and Poseidon and looked to be in his mid to late 30s. Hades was also the second largest in build, though had the shortest beard. 
Hades had long and curly jet black hair that ended at his waist that was worn in an elegant and refined style. Hades' hair was swept back so that it was out of his face, though he had a few locks went over his shoulders and ended at his abdomen. Hades had a number of hair ornamentations such as gold, silver, and copper rings or gemstone beads. Hades also often wore his Helm of Invisibility.
Hades had small and sharp eyes that were usually rather apathetic but held divine power. Hades' eyes were unique in that they had black sclera with crimson red irises. Although stoic and emotionless, Hades' gaze was that of a king who others could not help but be intimidated by. Despite having divine power, there was an element of demonic power to his eyes. When Hades was angry or using more his power, his eyes ignited with hellfire. 
Hades had a square shaped face that was perfectly symmetrical and had the unrivaled beauty of the Gods. Hades had high cheekbones, average size, ears, an aquiline nose with small nostrils, rather thin lips, straight and pearly white teeth, a strong and sharp jawline, and a large and strong, squarish chin. Hades had a full beard with a rather large mustache that was slightly disconnected from the rest of the beard and swept down slightly. Hades had very pale skin that was a deathly white.
Hades was incredibly large and bulky, having a physique that looked like it was carved from marbled stone. As befitting a God, Hades was perfectly proportioned. Hades had a long and muscular neck, broad shoulders, a wide and muscular back, long arms that were well-muscled and toned, large hands with long and dexterous fingers, a chiseled chest with small nipples, a flat abdomen with twelve-pack abdominal muscles, sculpted obliques, and an Adonis Belt, sculpted buttocks with Dimples of Apollo, long, muscular legs with thick thighs and strong calves, and large feet. Hades did not have any body hair, having skin that was rather smooth.
Hades typically wore a black chiton which exposed the left side of his torso and ended at his thighs. The chiton was lined with red and purple accents, and had various gold embellishments and gemstone ornaments. Hades also wore a large black and purple cape with white fur on the hem which reached the ground. Hades wore a black crown with various gemstones and gold accents on it, black metal bracers with gemstones embedded in them, and several golden rings with jewels on them. Hades wore a black belt with a metal skull on the center and several gemstones around his waist, from which he hung the Keys to the Underworld. Hades wore black sandals with straps that reached to just under his knees. Hades often carried his scepter and bident with him.
In battle, Hades substituted some of his more opulent clothing for more practical, but still ornate armor. Hades replaced his crown with the Helm of Darkness, a black helmet with gold accents that looked similar to a wolf's skull. The helmet had a slot to let his hair out and obscured everything of his face, only showing darkness. The only exception to this were the eye slits, from which only two glowing red dots appeared showing his eyes. Hades also wore black iron gauntlets with claws on the fingers, large shoulder pauldrons with skulls on the front and four spikes on them, and added black armor to his sandals as greaves.
=== Powered Up Form ===
When Hades revealed more of his power, his appearance changed substantially. Hades' hair becomes longer and goes wild, defying gravity and flowing in the air like a writhing mass of tendrils. Hades' eyes let out blasts of black, purple, and red flames, with the flames even radiating out of his helmet. Hades' skin also turned rather grayish. Hades constantly emitted a powerful and wild black, purple, and red aura that was reminiscent of flames. 
=== True Form ===
In his true form, Hades changed considerably. Hades became a giant skeletal being who wore the same vestments that he did previously. Despite his face being entirely skeletal, his eye sockets had burning red flames which acted as pupils. Hades' hair remained, though it turned into flowing black flaming tendrils which mimicked his hair. 
=== Titanomachy ===
During the Titanomachy, Hades was significantly younger than he would later appear, looking as though he was in his early to mid twenties. Hades was completely clean shaven and had shorter hair, with it only reaching below his shoulders.
