# Description

## Appearance

Menoetius is a strikingly handsome Titan with what many consider beautiful features. He has nearly shoulder-length blond hair that is worn loose and messily. He has a trim, fit, athletic build which he maintains with exercise, which is how he maintains his noteworthy abs from. He has emerald green eyes and typically wears a tight-fitting black T-shirt and jeans. While it may appear that he only has one outfit he in actuality has multiple copies of the exact same fit that do not vary in the slightest.

## Personality

Menoetius is a very serious but caring individual. When it comes to strangers he will purposely make himself seem standoffish and cold in an effort to dissuade them from being around him. If this does not work and he ends up liking the person they are welcomed to his awkward social interactions and sarcastic humor. He is a very introverted individual who prefers smaller gatherings as opposed to grand social affairs, but if it's for someone he loves he will make the sacrifice of meeting new people, but he will be very stiff about it and will not interact with anyone he doesn't know outside. When he’s close with a person however he can be surprisingly warm and generous, even doting to the point of henpecking. When provoked he can have a terribly violent temper which can level actual landscapes with his fists.

# Biography

## Background

Born in 1494 BC he was the third son of Clymene and Iapetus, and Clymene so taken with her “golden son” kept him close and doted on him the most out of all of his brothers making her a very important person in Menoetius’ life. When she committed suicide he was devastated by the death, believing that if he’d been present alongside his mother he would have been able to stop her death. He carried this guilt with him all throughout his adolescence. This caused him to turn inward on himself, speaking less as a result.

Menoetius was most noticeably depressed being raised by Ouranos especially being so quiet among his boisterous and energetic brothers. A major source of conflict arose with his youngest brother Epimetheus, who was irreverent in all ways even from a young age. Being so sensitive Menoetius was often victim to Epimetheus’s sadistic streak, being forced to carry out Epimetheus’s whims under his brother’s disturbing compulsion powers. Such cruel jokes took a dark turn when Epimetheus angrily forced Menoetius into a pond commanding him to drown himself. The terrified Menoetius was aware of every action and incapable of stopping it, rescued just in the nick of time by Atlas. Epimetheus was soon sent away after that.

After Epimetheus was sent away he was able to relax somewhat, but the oppressive force of Ouranos was still too much, and so at the age of twelve he left the Sky Palace and joined the Delphinic Order, becoming an acolyte for them, and their most devoted follower, upholding their tenets of prayer and celibacy with ardent fervor. Finding meaning in religion Menoetius hardly saw his brothers for centuries, and for the most part he was all right with this existence as he felt like being connected to his self-destructive family was not in his best interests. He did however help them in their moments of need, such as when Prometheus escaped Zeus’s mountaintop prison, or whenever Atlas would stumble in with bruises from a fight with Dionysus.

Content in his life with the Delphinic Order and for once in his life feeling peace, Menoetius was devastated when Ouranos took him against his will back to the Sky Palace, and locked him in his room. He was imprisoned along with his brothers, until Atlas made a fortuitous escape to another realm.

## Events of the RP

When Atlas invited his brothers to join him in living in Magnolia’s world he was initially scared of a new place, but quickly began nesting in the new home given to them by Magnolia. He would lie low for the most part, not involving in dimensional drama until he needed to. It wasn’t until his faith in the Delphinic Order was shaken upon revelation that they had helped facilitate the kidnapping of his niece that he began to be shaken from his complacent routine.

Forsaking his religion and everything that went along with it Menoetius grew lost, bitter, and resentful. He had devoted himself to the Order for most of his life, and now with it exposed to be nothing but lies, he needed to find another way of life. But it was as he fell to his lowest point, with nothing but a tree to release his rage and left with his thoughts to wallow in self-loathing shame, his reason to live appeared before him.

# Relationships

## Clymene

The first most important woman in Menoetius’s life was his mother whom he admired with his entire heart. When she died he was gutted by the event and always held onto the belief that if he hadn’t left her side she would still be alive. When she was revived and came to live with them, Menoetius was unprepared for how the image of the mother in his head clashed with the person she actually was, and as she tried to cause a rift between him and Selene it became abundantly clear to Menoetius that his mother was not in fact the paragon he misremembered her to be. With a heavy heart he was able to let her go when his father banished her. When she came back nearly murdering Atlas, all remaining love he had for his mother evaporated.

## Selene Lancaster

The second most important woman to Menoetius is the love of his life. Selene Lancaster found Menoetius at a low point in his life when he had lost all faith with his former religion of nearly 3,503 years. She encouraged him to find meaning in other things and in doing so became his first non-familial friend. After struggling with his own attraction to her Menoetius admitted his feelings and the two fell passionately in love with one another. Menoetius has made Selene his new religion and he plans on worshiping her until the day he ceases to exist.

## Atlas Trench

His favorite brother is also the one who causes him the most headaches. Atlas and Menoetius have always been close even if their personalities do not match. Atlas bolsters Menoetius' self-confidence and Menoetius in turn tries to give his older brother some level-headed advice. This doesn't always work, especially when Atlas does things to spark Menoetius’ ire. When Atlas obliviously commented on Pleione, whom Menoetius had unwittingly had a massive crush on, Menoetius grew furious. He grew even more exponentially furious when Atlas revealed that he’d slept with Luna causing Menoetius to erupt in a fit of his brother’s stupidity. Through it all however the pair of them have remained close and care deeply for one another.
