Amilios Warrior

Amilios Warrior is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character. He is the son of Heracles, god of heroes, strength, and bravery, from Greek Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Neutral Side, since he doesn't care about destiny all to much.

## Character

### **Personality**

As iconic and warm as the yellow sun, but infinitely more approachable, Amilios is rightfully regarded as altruistic and righteous, if not supremely unsure and cautious of all things. Raised with the values and ideals of two working class commoners, he absolutely dedicates himself to combating conflict and defending others, and has done so since before he was even aware of his birthright as the son of Heracles. Because of this, selflessness is his default, and he is often insistent on providing his services to those around him, to the point of personal exhaustion. He’s often found “on guard” during free time, escorting his fellow campers to wherever they need to go, or throwing himself between enemies, and generally ends up late to his own courses or other obligations because of it. However, despite the resulting stereotypes, Amilios lands nowhere near the “dumb jock” branch of storybook heroes, and would truly flourish in school and geekdom if he ever allowed himself outside the duties of a hero. Unfortunately, the “dumb jock” assumption isn’t helped by his inherent inability to grasp the various nuances of life. He perceives the world around him not only as a fairytale, but as a comic book, too. Full of heroes and villains, good and evil, time enough to live forever, and so whether it be something as simple as a sarcastic quip or something as serious as skirting around bad news, Amilios isn’t really equipped to read between the lines. As a result, “intent” usually has to be explained and laid out before him, and given that he’s prone to looking at the sunny side of things, he’ll usually end up in circles before the truth finally sinks in. In the same way Amilios' powers are affected by the wanes and waxes of his own mentality, so is his confidence while carrying out his heroic endeavors.

Despite how in-control, responsible, and downright epic he comes across in action, the lad is constantly wracked with the burdens of potential failure. And given his destined line of work, defending freedom and preserving the lives of the innocent, this is a failure he feels he can never afford to dabble in. As unfortunate as it is, the risk of truly harming another soul by mishap eats away at him constantly. It’s an issue he’s not particularly sure if other heroes have faced, and because he has no one to inquire to, this only provides him with further doubts on his potential to carry out the legacy laid before him properly, and whether or not it will be worth it in The End. Perhaps it’s just on a fundamental level that Amilios feels like he “owes” little pieces of himself to those around him. He owes his youth to his adoptive parents, his future to his father, his life to his family, and his abilities to essentially everyone who might need them at any given time. Due to this, he hasn't taken the time to research hobbies outside of his family's work or his destiny as a demigod, and thus might come across as "bland" or "vanilla" to anyone who doesn't know any better. In reality, Amilios is just a hero who's made himself a victim to burnout. He was on track towards developing his own identity like any other teenager before destiny rolled along and robbed him of a future, and even after his quest he still feels that it's not his to reject. For all his talk on "free will", he hardly follows his own advice, to his immense mental detriment. But with his own demons aside, Amilios is still found perpetually optimistic and hopeful, and carries and motivates himself through his troubles with the thought of there always being another person he and the other heroes of Ever After High could inspire. He loves his family, loves the realms he has the privilege of defending, and most of all, loves humanity and their capacity for good. "After all," he thinks, "why was chivalry put here in the first place?"
