Heracles

**Heracles** (originally known as **Alcides** and also known by his Roman name, **Hercules**) was a Greek Demi-God, later becoming a full God, and Greece's most powerful warrior.

## Appearance

### Mortal Form

Heracles was a Greek male with raven black hair, golden eyes, and with a dark complexion. Heracles was someone of massive stature and gargantuan proportions, standing at around 8'6" and weighing about 685 lbs. Heracles had an extremely muscular build, one that was impossible for any normal mortal to attain. Beyond his massive size, Heracles had a physique that was ready for all types of physical activities. As a God, Heracles appeared in the form of when he was in his early 30s. Heracles was noted to be an extremely handsome man, even before he ascended to godhood. During his original life, Heracles was one of the most handsome men in Greece and that has not changed in modern times. After his ascension, he gained the immense beauty of the Gods, beings that represent the ideal nature of humanity.

Heracles had a head of thick and wavy raven black hair that was very wild. Heracles wore his hair very long with it reaching his middle back. Heracles' hair was very messy and his bangs covered his forehead, but all of his hair stayed out of his eyes and most of his hair fell backwards. Because of how messy it was, Heracles' hair had many ends sticking out wildly.

Heracles had large, almond shaped eyes that were captivating. Heracles' eyes were a beautiful golden color and drew a lot of attention. Heracles' eyes did not betray his emotions much, him usually having his expression be slightly reserved. During battle, his eyes were very fierce but still somewhat stoic, with him very rarely showing emotions like anger. With the people he loved and when interacting with children, Heracles' eyes were full of joy and life. Heracles had long and thick eyelashes and his eyebrows were large and arched at the ends.

Heracles had a square face that was perfectly symmetrical. Heracles had a wide forehead, high cheekbones, large ears that had detached lobes, a small, straight, and sharp nose with small nostrils, a thin upper lip with a plumper lower one that were a dusky color, pearly white teeth, a strong and sharp jawline, and a strong, square chin with a cleft in it. Heracles had a thick and full beard, but it was trimmed neatly and was not very coarse. Despite his massive size, Heracles was noted to have a surprisingly pretty face and he had sharp and classical facial features.

Heracles was an extremely tall and well-built man, being extraordinarily muscular yet not being too bulky and he looked as though he was carved from granite. As a result of his divine heritage, Heracles was perfectly proportioned and endowed with great physical beauty. Heracles had a long and muscular neck, large and broad shoulders, an extremely wide and muscular back, long arms with bulging muscles, giant hands with long and thick fingers, a large and chiseled chest with dark nipples, a flat abdomen with 12-pack abs, sculpted obliques, and an Adonis Belt, a narrow waist, sculpted buttocks with Dimples of Apollo, long and very muscular legs with thick thighs and strong calves, and massive feet. Heracles had very little body fat, only having the minimal amount necessary for him to function. Heracles also lacked body hair naturally, being completely hairless aside from his scape and face. While his muscles were very hard and firm, Heracles' skin was very smooth and soft. Heracles had thee large and jagged scars on his chest from his fight with the Nemean Lion, resulting in the skin there to be slightly lighter and the skin there to be quite rough. Heracles was also apparently extremely well-endowed, though considering his massive size it was unlikely that many people were compatible to him.

Heracles had a very deep voice that was rich and smooth, and he had a light Greek accent. Heracles' voice was very captivating and commanding. In most situations, Heracles tended to be reserved and did not speak more than he have to. This was not out of shyness, but because he simply felt he didn't have to speak more than he wanted to. Heracles said what he had to and was otherwise taciturn. With people he liked, however, Heracles could be rather loud and boisterous and he spoke joyfully. Heracles' laugh was a deep chuckle and it was pleasant to hear. Heracles claimed to have no ability to sing, and seemed to be devoid of all musical aptitude.

Heracles' general demeanor was confident and slightly stoic. Heracles moved like a veteran warrior and like a God. There was grace to his movements, despite his massive size. Heracles' face was mostly reserved in most situations, even battle, but he would change to having a beaming smile with those he considered friends or family. Heracles could be very quiet when he needed to be, with his footfall being completely silent. Heracles could in move in ways that would leave veteran acrobats seething in envy and his massive size did nothing to hamper him immense speed and agility.

Heracles' primary outfit consisted of brown sandals that had straps that reach up to his knees and were lined with fur, several skirts that were layered over one another starting with a brown loincloth, a white skirt that ended above his knees, a navy blue one that ended at his thighs and had fabric at the front that reached down his knees, and he had a leather armored one that protected his hips and upper thighs, a large brown leather belt with a large gold buckle that served as abdomen armor, two dark brown baldrics that criss crossed around one another, a leather archery chest guard that protected the left side of his torso, leather spaulders with bronze in-lays, brown arm bracers that protected both forearms, brown cestus with metal plating on both hands, a band on his left bicep, and he wore the pelt of the Nemean Lion as a hooded cloak with it front arms tied around his neck, the head acted as the hood, and the rest of it hanging down to the floor in fashion similar to a cape. Heracles had his club and bow hanging from his baldrics on his back, his quiver hanging by his belt on his right side, and he had his sword Marmyadose hanging on his left side.

#### Magic

Although not a trained mage, or even at all interested in using his magic, as a Demi-God and later a full God, Heracles had immense magical ability that was innate to his being. Heracles had no interest in using his magic or becoming a mage, simply using it to enhance his physicality and even then it was really only something he did on instinct rather than it being something that he wanted to do. Heracles at most only uses massive blasts of divine energy when needed as attacks or use his magic to create more arrows.

##### List of Spells

**Counter Spell**: A counter spell is a type of spell that reverses the effect of another spell, though it's effectiveness is dependent on how much magical energy was used to power to counter spell and how much mana was placed into the spell being countered.

**Mana Attacks**: The ability to use magic in offensive ways.

* **Mana Beam**: Heracles can fire a continuous beam of pure mana from either his body or focused through an object, though it cost a great amount of mana to initiate and quickly burned through mana to do so. Heracles concentrated it into a specific body part or through his weapons for better control. Heracles typically channeled the beam through his weapons. The power, size, and range of the energy beam depended on how much mana he put into the technique.
* **Mana Blast**: Heracles could fire a concentrated blast of mana from his body or weapon, though it costs quite a bit of mana and control to do so. Heracles could fire it from his weapons or from a body part like his hands, though he could also emit it from his body as an unfocused blast. The power, size, and range of the blast depended on how much energy he put into the attack.
	+ **Mana Explosion**: Heracles is capable of releasing his mana from his entire body in a massive and unfocused explosion. Heracles charges the mana inside of his body for a while before releasing it in an attack that is useful both for offense and defense. How much mana it uses and how destructive it is, depends on how much energy that Heracles charges.
	+ **Mana Wave**: Heracles performs a wave motion with his arm or a weapon which releases a blast of mana in a wavy arc-like fashion. It was somewhat similar to a Mana Slash but was more related to a Mana Blast. Heracles could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana. It was very good for crowd control.
* **Mana Bolt**: Heracles could fire a bolt or ball of pure mana that does some damage and is relatively economical to use. Heracles can manipulate the direction of these bolts even in midair. Heracles typically fired them from his hands or from a weapon, but he also used his glyphs to fire them. Heracles could create as many bolts as long as he had the mana to afford it. The power, size, and range of the bolt depended on how much energy he put into the attack.
* **Mana Impact**: Heracles could create a shockwave from any impact he made. This shockwave sent anything within the radius of the impact into the air and did damage to anything in that radius. Heracles could also use it to cushion any damage he would ordinarily take from falling. The amount of mana consumed depended on the impact (such as how long he was falling or how hard he was striking) and how big he wanted the shockwave to be.
	+ **Mana Strike:** Heracles could use a variant of his Mana Impact with his strikes. Whether Heracles punched, kicked, or otherwise hit something he could use his mana to explode with that strike. This caused much more damage than a regular strike and also left a shockwave. It could also be used with a sort of time lag so that the mana's effect occurs sometime after the strike is completed. This makes it so that whatever strike Heracles made left two impacts instead of a single one. How powerful Mana Strike is depends on how much mana he used for it. Heracles could also imbue it with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.
* **Mana Slash**: When using a bladed weapon, Heracles is capable of firing a slash of energy from the blade that goes for a fair bit of distance. Heracles has mastered this such that he could launch barrages of slashes without yielding. The power, sharpness, size, and range of the slash depended on how much energy that Heracles put into it.

**Mana Constructs**: Heracles can create limited constructs made from his magical energy.

* **Mana Arrow**: Heracles can create arrows made of pure mana. Heracles has shown immense proficiency in this being able to create and fire a barrage of energy arrows all at once or even massive bolts. Heracles later developed a way to fire massive bolts that turned into many smaller arrows. Heracles has also shown the ability to manipulate the direction of these arrows even in midair and has developed a homing variant. Heracles has also made explosive variants. The size, number, power, and attributes of the arrows depend on how much energy he put into them. Heracles could imbue them with an element (fire, ice, wind, earth, lightning, light, dark, etc.), though this did cost more mana.

**Mana Suppression**: Magic Suppression is the ability to suppress one's own mana so that they cannot be sensed. Heracles was originally unable to do so, but after several years of practice managed to reach mastery over it. Heracles was capable of suppressing his mana to the point that he had no sensible signature which was only something that only the dead usually had.

**Reinforcement**: Reinforcement is the ability to use mana in order to strengthen, or reinforce, something. Heracles is capable of using reinforcement on himself or on objects and even organisms that he is touching. This allows Heracles to bring the best qualities of something and magnify them, pushing them to their limit. Reinforcement is simple in theory but difficult to master. At low to moderate levels of reinforcement, it was mostly harmless, though at higher levels it could have disastrous consequences if done wrong. Basic reinforcement simply involves pushing one's mana into an object or body part in low amounts, though higher levels requires knowledge of the inner workings of the item being reinforced and careful use of mana being pushed into it. At a certain level, Reinforcement also allows one to harm spiritual or spectral bodies, due to it being a type of spiritual power that stems from a soul's essence or lifeforce. Heracles is very skilled with all forms of Reinforcement and he is very efficient in it's use.

* **Body Reinforcement:** The practice of reinforcing one's own body. Reinforcement allows someone to magnify their natural abilities and how much it was boosted depended on how much mana was used to do it. While easy in theory, it was very dangerous and difficult to master. Those who did master it have shown the ability to reinforce their body passively, so their natural limits are ignored at all times. This works to increase strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and the senses. While it can be used on the entire body all at once, it can be focused on a particular body part to enhance it immensely (such as focusing on one arm for added strength or focusing on the eyes so that one can see kilometers away or see in the dark). It can also be used to allow them to go without eating or sleeping for longer. Heracles had masterful control of the technique, though he had difficulties with conserving his mana to efficient levels though his body was powerful enough to avoid much of the danger associated with the ability.
* **Item Reinforcement**: Heracles is able to channel his mana into an item that he is touching to make it even better than it was before. It is primarily used on weaponry so that said weapon does more damage, is more durable, and can make use of mana attacks. There are also more mundane uses such as using mana to make food more nourishing and flavorful or making the edge of a knife sharper. It is hard to master and doing it wrong can damage to item being reinforced, possibly destroying it outright. Reinforcement can also be used to "scan" an object to analyze it and find any deformities, which can then be fixed (i.e. scanning a broken computer to find what's wrong and then using reinforcement to get it working again). While easy in theory, it was very dangerous and difficult to master. It is hard to master and doing it wrong can damage to item being reinforced, possibly destroying it outright. Heracles could also use this reinforce organisms like animals or even people, though this was much harder than reinforcing a non-living object and if done wrong could be fatal. Heracles was also very skilled at Item Reinforcement.

**Translation Spell**: As a God, Heracles could understand every language and no matter what language he spoke everyone would be able to understand him.

### Techniques

#### Physical

**Afterimage**: Heracles was capable of moving so fast that he left afterimages behind. While these afterimages can't actually do anything, it is useful for leaving one behind so the opponent is briefly distracted or confused, either allowing Heracles to evade attacks or distract his opponent long enough for him to attack them. Heracles has been able to move fast enough to leave hundreds of afterimages behind.

**Air Slam**: Heracles leaps into the air and slams into the ground usually striking with his weapon all the while. This causes an immense amount of damage and causes a shockwave, but is easy to predict.

* **Ultimate Chokeslam**: Heracles grabs his opponent by the throat and leaps high into the air before slamming his opponent into the ground, keeping his grip firm and using all his body weight to make it even harsher on his opponent, while using their body to break his fall.

**Air Superiority**: Heracles uses his strength to launch his opponent into the air and then leaps after them. While they are in the air, Heracles unleashes a barrage of strikes: slashing them eight times with his sword, punching and kicking them higher into the air, slashing them five more times, slamming them back to the ground with his sword, and finally stabbing them from above with the full weight of his sword.

**Boomerang Blade**: Heracles throws his sword as though it were a boomerang to attack multiple enemies. Heracles can use his magic to cause the blade to return to him.

**Earth Splitter**: Heracles focuses a great amount of his energy before slamming his weapon into the ground. This attack causes shockwaves that harm anyone hit by them and cleaves the ground in front of him in two.

* **Earthquake**: Charging his energy in his fist, Heracles then slams it into the ground. Beyond the powerful shockwaves, the force causes the ground far from Heracles to jut up and hit anything that was standing where he was aiming it.
* **Shockwave Slash**: Heracles charges his energy for a second before slashing his weapon across the ground, causing a shockwave that travels across the ground in a line and harms anyone hit by it.

**Exploding Strike**: Heracles charges all of his energy in his weapon, fist, or foot before unleashing extremely powerful attack. This attack is extremely powerful but is very telegraphed and somewhat slow to perform. Using his drive can enhance the strike to an extreme amount, but it will destroy his limb doing it. If it hits it will do immense damage.

* **Maximum Punch**: Heracles charges all of his energy into his fist and then strikes, unleashing a massively powerful attack that obliterates anything that is hit by it. Using his drive can enhance to strike to an extreme amount, though Heracles' arm would almost certainly be shattered by the impact. Heracles can do a similar attack with the only difference being that it's a kick instead of a punch.

**Great Charge**: Heracles charges forward like a battering ram. This allows him to bash and trample over everything in his way. It relied on Heracles' superhuman strength and speed, but it was very easy to predict and he could not change direction once he started.

**Hundred Slash**: Using a slashing weapon, Heracles unleashes a barrage of rapid fire slashes in a matter of seconds. These slashes are unfocused and mostly meant to be a volley of attacks of a varying amount lethality.

* **Focused Hundred Slash**: Heracles created a variant of Hundred Slash wherein he uses his super speed to unleash multiple slashes in nearly a single instant. Unlike a regular Hundred Slash, it is a focused attack that are targeted at vital spots. Despite the name, it is not actually a hundred slashes being closer to twelve.

**Hundred Stab**: Using a stabbing weapon, Heracles unleashes a barrage of rapid fire stabs in a matter of seconds. These stabs are unfocused and mostly meant to be a volley of attack with a varying amount of lethality.

* **Focused Hundred Stab**: Heracles created a variant of Hundred Stab wherein he uses his super speed to unleash multiple stabs in nearly a single instant. Unlike a regular Hundred Stab, it is a focused attack that are targeted at vital spots. Despite the name, it is not actually a hundred stab being closer to twelve.

**Spin Attack**: Heracles charges his energy for a second before spinning in a circle, slashing his opponents all the while. It is good for when surrounded by multiple opponents.

* **Tornado Attack**: Rather than spinning once, Heracles continues spinning essentially becoming a human top that slashes anything that comes near him. Heracles often ends this attack by slamming his weapon into the ground which causes a shockwave from the force it generates. It is very easy to get dizzy when performing the technique but it is very good for crowd control.
* **Lift Off**: Heracles performs his spin attack, but launches himself into the air while doing it.

**Rising Uppercut**: Heracles unleashes a massive spinning uppercut that sends both him and his opponent flying into the air.

* **Upper Slash**: Heracles essentially performs an uppercut, but instead of using his fist he uses a bladed weapon.

**Stinger**: Heracles thrusts forward with a massive and powerful stab. While it is an attack that is easy to predict, it is extremely lethal and once it lands it can do immense amounts of damage.

**Supreme Counter**: Heracles waits for an opponent to attack him. Once it is done, Heracles either dodges, blocks, or parries the attack away and prepares to counterattack. Heracles then rapidly slashes his opponent nine times before putting all his power in a final powerful slash that sends them flying away.

**Wind Strike**: Heracles was capable of striking hard enough to cause powerful gusts of wind through sheer force. While not the most powerful of attacks, it was rather useful in a pinch.

* **Razor Wind**: Heracles could use a variant of Wind Strike where he released blasts of razor wind with bladed weapons. This cost nothing Heracles' stamina and was a useful ranged attack when Heracles had not other option.

#### Mental

**Image Training**: Image Training was a technique that allowed one to "train" inside their mindscape. The way it worked was imagining a scenario such as a fight and running through what happens inside the mind. This uses the information about the hypothetical and everything and everyone involved in it. Heracles was able to use this technique to picture everything he knew about his opponents and foresee how a fight would go between them. This allowed Heracles to come up with strategies to fight them based on the reasoning he made in his mind. This is not perfect as it requires the knowledge that Heracles has of someone and is based on what he thinks they would do, so it can lead him astray if he thinks wrong. Heracles was capable of using a version of it during battles that essentially allowed him to predict his opponents moves based on logical reasoning before they did them. This also allows Heracles to run simulations in his head about his allies and friends, and predict how battles will occur. As long as Heracles can imagine it, he will have a decent simulation of how it goes on.

### Arts

**Berserker Rage (A Rank)**: When activated, Heracles is turned into a berserker having all of his physical abilities be enhanced at the cost of having his mind clouded with immense rage.

**Supreme Instinct (A-Rank)**: When activated, Heracles' perception and instincts are increased greatly. This allows him to be much more aware of everything around him and intuit the right way forward. In terms of combat, Heracles possesses the ability to be able to predict his enemies' actions before they happen and safely counter attack them. Heracles' superhuman senses mixed with this ability to allow him to know of danger that he logically shouldn't, perceiving them long before they become a threat and thus letting him act accordingly. While it doesn't counter illusions or hallucinations, it does make it so that Heracles has an easier time of realizing when he is being beset by them. At Heracles' level, it acts almost like a sort of precognition. Heracles receives all information in the general area and calculates the probabilities in seconds to give Heracles a sort of vision of the future, that vision being the logical chain of events which allows him to extrapolate the best course of events to achieve his goals or fully counter plans or events that can happen. Supreme Instinct is not foolproof as it has been tricked and can act on incomplete information. Heracles also has to act on the information gathered on his own accord, which means that his emotions, senses, or morals can compromise what is logically the best course of action. In daily life, it gives Heracles a gut feeling that lets safely intuit what he needs to do like telling him what path to take.

**Home-Field Advantage (A Rank)**: As Greece's greatest hero, Heracles receives a boost in all parameters while he is in Greece. Heracles gains an additional boost when he is in Thebes.

**Beast-Slayer (A-Rank)**: Heracles fought many beasts of different kinds throughout his life from the Nemean Lion to Cerberus. When activated, this Art makes it so that Heracles is a living Anti-Beast weapon. Anything of a bestial nature whether it is a monster, demon, dragon or other will take extra damage from his attacks and he automatically gets past their natural defenses.

**Man without Fear (B Rank)**: When activated, this art completely eradicates any fear that Heracles might be feeling. This makes it so that Heracles can continue on his path without having to worry about the risks. It took a moderate amount of magical energy to use.

**Last Stand (B Rank)**: If Heracles makes an action that is sacrificial in nature or he has to make a last stand, then he will gain a boost in performance. The more the odds are stacked against him, the more powerful Heracles will become. This also makes Heracles harder to kill, as what should be fatal wounds will be temporarily ignored so he can keep fighting long after he should normally be able to.

**Penetrate (B Rank)**: When activated, this art allows Heracles to get past any defense for a single attack. Anything that can be used to block or deflect his attack is either ignored or broken to allows Heracles an uncontested hit. It took a great amount of magical energy to use.

### Drives

**12 Great Labors- Divine Strength of Heracles (S++)**: One of Heracles' drives was 12 Great Labors. This drive gave Heracles access to abilities, creatures, weapons, and items associated with each of his 12 labors. These aspects are all very powerful and varied.

1. **Nemean Lion**: Heracles' First Labor takes shape in two ways. The first is that it allows Heracles to summon the Nemean Lion to fight alongside him. The second is that it allows Heracles to turn his skin invincible, similar to the Nemean Lion's pelt.
2. **Lernaean Hydra**: Heracles' second labor takes shape in two ways. The first is that it allows Heracles to summon the Lernaean Hydra to fight alongside him. The second is that it gives Heracles access to the Hydra's venom. This makes it so that Heracles' skin excretes the poison and so each of his blows imbue his targets with the venom and all of his weapons are covered in the venom. The venom of Heracles' arrows is doubled when this drive is active.
3. **Ceryneian Hind**: Heracles' third labor takes shapes in two ways. The first is that it allows Heracles to summon the Ceryneian Hind as a mount to ride. The second is that it grants Heracles immense speed and agility, comparable to the Hind itself. It essentially triples Heracles' speed, reflexes, and agility so that he moves much faster than he had before.
4. **Erymanthian Boar**: Heracles' fourth labor takes shape in two ways. The first is that it allows Heracles to summon the Erymanthian Boar to fight alongside him. The second is that it grants Heracles the strength, speed, and weight of the boar. This grants Heracles enhanced strength and speed, an charge attack that allowed him to charge forward with immense speed and power with no way to stop him until he chooses to, and increased his weight to an immense level which made him almost impossible to move.
5. **Augean Stables**: Heracles' fifth labor takes shape in the form of a massive rapid. Heracles essentially summons a massive wave of water to blast away anything in his way, being akin to a controlled flood.
6. **Stymphalian Birds**: Heracles' sixth labor takes shape in two ways. The first is that it allows Heracles to summon the Stymphalian Birds to fight alongside him. The second is that it allows Heracles to grow two golden, metal bird wings on his back. This allows Heracles the ability to fly and he could shoot metallic feathers as projectiles.
7. **Cretan Bull**: Heracles' seventh labor takes shape in two ways. The first allows him to summon the Cretan Bull to act as a mount. The second gives Heracles horns and the strength of the bull. It essentially turns Heracles into a Bull beast-kin.
8. **Mares of Diomedes**: Heracles' eighth labor takes shape in two ways. The first allows Heracles to summon the four mares to both fight alongside him and act as his mount. The second gives Heracles the speed and fire breathing abilities of the mares. Heracles also gains the ability to heal from eating human flesh, as evidenced by his mouth turning into a maw of fangs, however, he finds the idea too disgusting to try.
9. **Girdle of Hippolyta**: Heracles' ninth labor takes the form of Heracles calling on Hippolyta and her Amazons to fight alongside him. Hippolyta and her warriors can refuse his summons, though they rarely do so because of their love for battle and respect for Heracles.
10. **Geryon's Cattle**: Heracles' tenth labor takes the form of Heracles summoning Helios' chariot which he can use to ride through the sky at extreme speeds.
11. **Golden Apples of the Hesperides**: Heracles' eleventh labor takes two forms. The first allows Heracles to summon the dragon Ladon to fight alongside him. The second allows Heracles to call upon Atlas to help him in battle, on the condition that Heracles temporarily take his place holding up the sky as Atlas fights for him.
12. **Cerberus**: Heracles' twelfth labor takes two forms. The first allows Heracles to summon Cerberus to fight alongside him. The second causes Heracles to "fuse" with Cerberus for new abilities. This gives Heracles sharp fangs and claws, fur on his body, a tail, fire magic, and it increases his strength and speed. It essentially turns Heracles into a Hellhound Beast-kin.

**Divine Resurrection- Ascension of the Greatest Hero (S+)**: One of Heracles' drives was Divine Resurrection. It was an ability that originated from his ascension to Godhood after death and mixed with legendary 12 labors. After Heracles is killed in battle, he will soon resurrect from his death to continue living with him having 12 lives for each of his labors. This essentially gives Heracles 12 lives similar to a video game character (though he didn't understand the comparison). It takes time for his resurrection to take effect, meaning that it is possible for his killer to escape the area or complete their goal before Heracles can confront them again. Heracles only has 12 lives per year, only regaining those lost lives after a year passes.

## Paraphernalia

### Weapons

**Marmyadose (A++)**: Marmyadose was the greatsword that Hephaestus/Vulcan made for him.

**Heracles' Club (A++)**: Heracles' Club was a massive wooden club that Heracles fashioned himself. It was shaped similar to a Lion's head.

**Heracles' Bow (A++)**: Heracles' bow was a massive longbow that Heracle owned. It was so large and the strength needed to draw it back was so great that it could not be used by anyone but Heracles. The strength, speed, and destructive power of the bow make it seem less like a bow and arrow, and more like a sniper rifle or missile launcher.

* **Hydra Venom Arrows**:

**Heracles' Cestus (B++)**: Heracles' Cestus were two adamantine cestus that covered his fists.

### Equipment

**Heracles' Armor**: Heracles wore a few pieces of armor which did offer some protection, but appeared almost more so for appearances sake than necessity. The armor is durable, but has no special ability and Heracles' skin is tough enough to suffice for him even without it.

**Pelt of the Nemean Lion**: Heracles wore the Pelt of the Nemean Lion as a sort of hooded cloak. The pelt is completely impervious to any attack, aside from those from powerful Gods or Devils.

**Heracles' Rattle**:
