Olethros

Erebus played by Yonderly

## Overveiw

*Olethros has been described as unpredictable, overly protective, and obstinate, but also as very kind, intelligent, selfless, empathetic, compassionate, and friendly. He is extremely loyal and has a caring personality. Despite this, Olethros is very naive and easily manipulated, as demonstrated several times throughout his life. He is a firm believer in trust, honesty, and loyalty, and he will always keep his word to others. Once he gives his word or someone crosses him, another side of him emerges, a side that Hades has always desired to see in his own offspring. This side could be described as cruel, careless, short-tempered, manipulative, and slightly reasonable. Though he has little to no regard for human life in general, Olethros feels guilt and remorse for the majority of his actions; he just doesn't show it, and he has morals. However, this sadistic side of him may appear to be a psychopath, but in reality, he has no limits to how sadistic he can be.*

*Olethros has been around for a little more than 2000 years, and he assisted men and women in the third century with their own ideas. He assisted in the flourishing of human civilization, only to witness its demise. He enjoys residing quotes for the purpose of learning for his enemies or arrogant men or women. Some say Olethros is like his father in that he doesn't care about most things, but like his mother, he finds most things in the world beautiful. He's met beings older and younger than him, but they all act the same to him: most want power, others want to manipulate him, and he's basically both.*

## Mental Strengths

**Strong willed:** *As a god you have to be strong willed you can't fold under pressure*

**Friendly**: *He can feel welcoming and not threatening if you don't cross him which makes most people open up to him*

**Unpredictable**: *Olethros always has a plan. There's nothing you can really do about his plans if you figure out he has plenty more that you can just set his other plans off by trying to predict the first.*

## Mental Weaknesses

**Trusting:** *Even though Erebus is a god he can trust people that he knows for a long time or even for a short while as long as they have the same goals.*

**Alert:** *If Erebus feel like your not on his side or his family's then he will keep an I on you but this is mostly passed on assumptions*

**Sadistic:** *Even though this isn't to buy his sadistic side is seen almost like he's a psychopath which draws people away.*

## History

*Even though his parents were the rulers of the underworld, everyone in Greece celebrated the birth of the new members of the gods Olethros on the first day of spring. This young baby boy with bright red eyes was feted throughout the Greek gods' homeland. Throughout the boy's life, his name Olethros was spread throughout man culture, and it meant destruction. How did it come to be that way? Well, Hades and Persephone had more children, but he was destined to be the weakest because of how he acted nice, sparring lives and treating humans as equals. Olethros felt rejected by his family because he was the gods' black sheep..*

*Olethros would travel the land, sharing knowledge and even adding to ideas, helping to build civilization as we know it and ensuring the earth's well-being. He slaughtered many creatures of the night and day, as well as divine beings such as gods. Erebus was the first god he killed, but why this god? You see, his mother explained why his father was like this, and it pointed to one person, Erebus. Erebus corrupted Hades, so when he heard that, he went to kill him. Olethros encountered many deities, including animal gods, on his journey.The trials and tasks were difficult, but Olethros completed them. However, a curse was placed on him, and when most people speak his name, he becomes weaker, so to avoid this, he took the name of the god he killed, Erebus.*

*After a year or two, Erebus' father Chaos began to put his own curse on Olethros' work. Since Olethros killed his son, the curse bestowed upon him was to kill his mother if he got close to his mother or father the urge to kill her would consume him but after 20 years of this his mother went to find him and see how he was doing after she found him he ended up killing her but she knew he didn't mean to so she passed her abilities down to him with and extra free abilities that reflected around him.*
