## Powers & Abilities

* **Olympian God Physiology:** Apollo is an extremely powerful god who is surpassed only by the six eldest Olympians (Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter & Hestia). He is equal to Artemis & perhaps rivaled by Athena.
	+ ***Immortality*:** Daimons are immortal & can live forever. They do not age like humans & are unaffected by time or succumbing to mortal frailty as sickness or impotence of any kind.
	+ ***Superhuman Agility***
	+ ***Superhuman Durability***
	+ ***Superhuman Senses***: Daimons' senses are enhanced to immense superhuman levels, allowing them to perceive the world in far greater detail than the senses the average human possesses. As the God of the Sun & Light, he is able to see almost anything & anywhere during the day.
	+ ***Superhuman Speed***
	+ ***Superhuman Strength*:** Daimons possess incredible physical prowess.
	+ ***Transfiguration*:** Olympians possess the ability to shapeshift & to transfigure others.
* **Divine Abilities**
	+ ***Council of Twelve*:** Apollo is a member of the Council of Twelve, making him one of the twelve major deities of the pantheon. Every summer & winter solstice, they hold an official meeting to discuss the state of their pantheon.
	+ ***God of Light*:** As his twin sister could create shots of moonlight, he can generate rays of sunlight. He is sometimes surrounded by a flickering aura of honey-colored light.
	+ ***God of the Sun*:** Apollo has absolute control & divine authority over sun. While he has control over the flames of his Sun Chariot, his power is inferior to that of Hephaestus, the God of Fire & Helios, the original driver of the Sun Chariot & Titan of the Sun. He can take on a fiery appearance & is also completely immune to any amount of fire & heat.
	+ ***God of Archery*:** Apollo excells in archery & other target-shooting-based activities, such as basketball. His arrows are invisible to mortals & would always strike its intended target, regardless of the distance. His archery skills can only be rivaled by his sister, Artemis.
	+ ***God of Art***
	+ ***God of Music*:** Apollo is the leader of the Nine Muses, as well as an expert musician who could play any musical instrument perfectly, though he is most often seen with his lyre. He can make a sharp ultrasonic whistle-like sound that can temporarily stun his opponents, making them clutch their ears in confusion.
	+ ***God of Poetry***
		- ***Couplets Curse***: He can curse others to only speak in rhyming couplets that can take days or even weeks to wear off.
	+ ***God of Prophecy*:** Apollo is able to see into the future. However, he is unable to tell anyone future events except through his Oracles, as then the information would become meaningless. Apollo does not have full control over this power either. He does not always know what the prophecies mean nor can he always control when they are told.
	+ ***God of Truth*:** Apollo possible know when people are telling the truth or lying.
	+ ***God of Healing*:** As the God of Healing & former God of Medicine, Apollo can manipulate & modify a person's anatomy, as well as restore the injured to full health. He can also instantly heal wounds.
	+ ***God of Plagues*:** Apollo has power over plagues & epidemics. He channeled this ability through special arrows that exploded into foul vapors that spread the very disease he wanted inflict his victims with.
* **Hand to Hand Combat:** Apollo has great combat skills & the Homeric hymns also described that no ropes could bind him. During the very first Olympic games (which were for the gods), he defeated Ares in boxing & outran Hermes.
* **Swordsmanship:** Apollo is an expert swordsman. It is revealed that he once had an extremely sharp sword made of adamantine & gold, but rarely used it. He later gave it to Hermes in exchange for the flute.

### Weaknesses

* **Leto:** Apollo's cruel side is mostly fueled by his protectiveness of his mother, Leto. After Niobe insulted Leto, he ruthlessly killed all seven of her sons. Later on, he personally asked Hades to eternally torture Tityos for harassing his mother.
* **Past Traumas:** His sunny & optimistic demeanor actually conceals deep sorrows. He has never truly moved on from the two greatest loves of his life - Daphne (who turned into a tree to escape his advances) & Hyacinthus (who died due to a feud between Apollo & Zephyros). He is haunted by their memories, to the extent where anything that could be associated with them would almost reduce him to tears if he saw it.

## Trivia

##### General

* Apollo has several loyal attendants, including the Muses & four golden Celedons, all of which accompany him in musical performances.
* Hermes was said to have put his winged shoes on Apollo when he was sleeping in Athens but then woke up in Argentina.
* He likes to make haikus (Japanese poems) which probably mirrors the fact that Japan is referred as the 'land of the rising sun' & Apollo is the sun god.
* NASA's spaceflight program that landed the first human on the moon was called the "Apollo Program."
* Sparta's most important festival, the Hyacinthia, was held in honour of Apollo.
* The Pythian Games, one of the four Panhellenic festivals, were held in honour of Apollo every four years at Delphi.
* His past lovers include Koronis, Hecate, Khione, all nine of the Muses, the nymph Daphne & Britomartis.

#### Family

* He loves both his mother & twin sister above all other women & will fiercely defend them.
* Artemis calls him "big-headed" & many other names siblings often call one another.
* Ironically, Apollo lies about being the elder twin (Artemis was born nine days before him) despite also being the god of truth. The latter may simply be messing with his sister for fun.
