Icarus Athanasiou

## Personality

Despite his reputation as a popular boy, Icarus is quite socially awkward, especially when people question him about himself. His outward personality is a very charming and confident one; he is the captain of the Paravor Zephynet team and is seen as a bit of a playboy; however, when put into a situation where he is not surrounded by crowds of people, he seems to shut himself off and wants his privacy, this may be a reflection of his childhood.

When with his friends, his demeanour changes to cocky and obnoxious. Many view this persona of Icarus as annoying and over the top. Despite this, they will not mess with him as his friend group seems to be all under his thumb and would do as he wishes. When like this, people view Icarus as a stuck-up rich boy, although this is all a ruse he created to avert attention from him personally, especially after the whole incident with Melusina Vigil.

Once he becomes close friends with someone, you see a different side to Icarus: kind and quite sweet. Icarus looks out and looks after the people he holds close to his heart; this can be seen in the brief moments when Icarus is around his younger siblings. He sees his siblings as the lights in his world and would do anything for them, no matter how hard it would be for him to do. When he found out that his younger sister, Theodosia Athanasiou, was appointed to the Salamat house and not the Paravor house, he was mortified as he did not know how she would cope with her new environment; however, she adjusted very quickly.

## Appearance

Icarus is a tall, olive-skinned man littered with a few scars and freckles, most notably a faded yet still prominent scar above his left eye. He has dark brown, curly hair that looks unstyled and left in its natural placement, but he does put time into his appearance.

Icarus has a few ear piercings from losing a bet during the second year. He tends to forget about these additions to his person completely and only notices them if someone points them out or he brushes against them.

He is predominantly seen in his school uniform due to his affinity for not going anywhere he doesn't have to. His uniform consists of; a white shirt, which he doesn't tuck in fully, meaning it can be seen

from under the usual black jumper that he wears over it, his house tie, worn correctly, and classic black trousers. His house robe is typically about his person, given that it is weather appropriate.

On the rare occasion when he is not in his school uniform, he is seen adopting a non-magix streetwear style, thanks to his close friend Blaze Adeyemi. Usually donning an oversized t-shirt of some form with baggy cargo trousers underneath, he finds this style comfortable and convenient. However, there have been times when Icarus can be seen in much more formal attire, like freshly pressed suits, and on these days, you should know that Icarus is not going to be well-liked by his peers that he is putting on a show for his parents.

## Background

Icarus was born into the prestigious Athanasiou family, a Greek Magix family that owns Pandora’s Bank, to Chrysanthos and Stellina Athanasiou.
