Tripolis Zenos

**Tripolis Zenos** is the deuteragonist of Element of God.

He is a 16 year old teen, living in a an older man's house in Nafplio with the rest of his team. He does deeds or quests to gain money, using his ability.

## Appearance

Tripolis is a teen of slim build and of average height. He has naturally black, short hair, which is tied into a small ponytail on the side.

Tripolis often wears different outfits, but his signature one is that of a light, white shirt, with a black stripe in the middle, the greek alpha sign, an attached bag with crystals, a brown belt with a cloth covering his pocket, a line from his other pocket to the middle of his tight, black socks and white shoes.

## Personality

Kind-hearted, heroic and mannered. He thinks that he needs to use his and the others' abilities for good. He strives for success in leading a succesful life, where his difference isn't an inconvience, but rather a normal, acceptable trait. Hard-working, sacrifices his own free time to run errands and earn money for him and his team. Knowledgeable in abilities, but not the best fighter.

Tripolis is also very caring, often directly telling others to, f.e. get along with Rossas or to not do things that would be considered unmannered or straight-up rude.

Over time, he gets insecure about being a good leader. Tripolis often doubts himself over his skills at leading and directing his friends towards a certain goal. He easily gets happy when things go his way, but breaks down over any little mistake.

## History

Tripolis lived with his father near an olive tree farm. His mother worked in the city.

At a young age Tripolis was introduced to his father's friend, Grigoris, which via multiple means managed to scam the family out of lots of money and sexually harass his father, Alcides.

One day after work, he meets the strange Ninokyo Dantai, who grants him the thunder ability with Apollo.

Upon the discovery of his abilities Tripolis set out to help people and run errands to gain money. He met a man, Mulou, who helped him find his way. He soon received a request from him to hurt a person.

One day when wandering the streets of Nafplio, he saw Mulou being murdered by that same target. He ran away, terrified.

## Fate

Tripolis is seen heavily malnourished and barely able to walk after an encounter with Ninokyo in the metro, however, using all that he has left in his body, he set Ninokyo on fire, before his infinity orb turned him into a literal tree.

After passing, his God still remained, speaking final words of courage and revealing Ninokyo's nape.

At the end of the book, Rossas sees a photo of him and his friends, with Tripolis on it,

## Ability

Apollo allows Tripolis to do many different things, all relating to the myth.

## Stats

### Apollo's Song / Object Identify

Upon singing to an object of equal rarity value, it may be temporarily replaced with something else, aiding Tripolis in battles or whatnot. If Tripolis sings a short song to these objects, only then will he be in full control.

### Striking Arrow

Shoots an arrow from his bow, which upon impact with an object, animal or human may do different things depending on the situation. For example, Tripolis may put someone of weak psyche to sleep with just a scratch, but will only temporarily weaken someone with a stronger one. It can also destroy parts of buildings, making a tiny quake inside of it's metal part.

### Future Poem

Allows Tripolis to see five seconds into the future, as it writes down the events that will happen in said time frame. However, it exhausts him greatly, so he rarely uses it. Looking at the paper doesn't necesarilly mean he activated the ability.
