## History

Sol is the son of Orichalcum, a great heroin with divine armor and artifacts as the source of her powers, and Helios, titan of the sun. He was raised in the "higher planes", much to the relief of his career-oriented mom. While he was mostly the runt of the litter among his divine cousins and siblings due to being half-mortal, he was nonetheless chosen to represent Helios on Earth and protect humanity, next in line at being the "Herald of the Sun". As Sol Devi, he works as a barista in one of the "Sun Bean Café" in Silver City's own North Bowery. As Solar, he zips around in the skies of Silver City to save people.

### Related characters

Orichalcum, his mother, is also known as Surya Devi (of mixed-hindi descent). She's a mortal woman with SO MUCH TO DO. As a sun-based hero of Silver City, she wields the divine-tech Orichalcum Armor and the Sun Spear, and flies around delivering justice to evildoers or helping out during disasters. While there has been sun-based heroes in the past, she's known as the latest and greatest. She expertly juggles an ILH membership with a career as a civil engineer/architect specialized in "green" self-sustaining buildings and solar powered urban development. While she didn't raise Sol, she got visits and communicated regularly.

Helios, Solar's father, is a divine being. Titan of the Sun to the ancient greeks, he was also known as Shamash, the Sun Itself to the ancient sumerians, and also Utu the dispenser of justice, The All-Seeing, The God Visible. Helios is the son of Hyperion The Elder, Titan of Light and Power. Hyperion and two of his brothers had helped Cronus (Titan God of Time, the one who created the Scythe of death itself) to take over from Ouranos (Titan of the Universe), and thus was gifted the whole eastern corner of the sky to "rule"... Although Hyperion the Elder was the third greates power among the gods at the time, he was still loyal to cronus when Zeus and his boys went and took over... Helios, part of the younger titans, wasn't that stupid. In spite of straining quite a few family relationships with ugly murders, he and his siblings backed the new "olympians" rather than the older "titans", so they got to keep their job as gods and their father's domain in the sky. Way back when they were youngsters, Helios was the sun aboard his chariot in the sky, but he delegated this task to his own son Phoebus. Then there was this whole kerfuffle with HIS son Phaeton... When the olympians fell out of favor and even Apollo, horus and Mitra were beginning to get confused with the new Christ thing, Helios knew the good old days were well and truly over. He has been supplanted in worship by many gods of the sun after him, mostly always ones who drive or conduct the sun through the sky and few who personify it. Is he seeking to return now that humanity has matured, or to aid humanity once more through his sending of heroes ? Is there a deeper plan at work ? At his advanced age, he is both inscrutable and cantankerous, and likes it that way. He's a retired a judgemental figure who has plans for everyone and usually considers his decisions final.

Selene, Solar's aunt, is his dad's sister. Titanid of the Moon, she WAS the moon before Artemis and Hecate, her pupils, claimed command over it. She used to be Nanna and Ningal of the Feminine Mysteries. She retired millenia ago to live on the mortal plane because in her opinion "those mortals are doing fine, they need a friend to advise, not a goddess to worship". These days, in Silver City, she has adopted the alias of a hippie woman embracing her fifties, "Celine DeTheia". While she is immortal, has power over the night sky and immense magicks, she is content just having tea with friends, growing her garden, being a cottagecore lesbian and giving pottery and yoga classes. More often than not, she is physically compared to Emma Thompson and Gillian Anderson.

Eos, Solar's Uncle, is also his dad's sibling. Eos Rhododactylos is the god of dawn... and as such, all moments fleeting and in-between. He is known to be able to make an instant of orgasm last an eternity, and vice-versa. OG "Rosefingers", as he's called, travels a lot, but never fails to bring strange new gifts to his nephews and nieces when he comes back. Last time he was on Earth, he called himself "captain" and had a definitive disco aesthetic. Think of him as if Lando Calrissian was your favorite uncle.

Our hero Sol also has a half-brother (among other divine family). Hyperion is the son of Helios (a Heliad among many), but is of purely divine bloodline. Self-named after his own grandfather (the father of Helios), he believes he is the next "Herald of the Sun", superior to all other choices, and that choosing Sol was a mistake. After a few years of cruching him in competitions and sports, sometimes even bullying him on the divine planes, he is insanely jealous of Sol. He thinks humanity should be led, not saved, and that he should be the next hero/leader adored by the "unwashed masses" of Earth.

## Personality and description

Physically a perfect specimen, Sol Devi is a delicious himbo with divine attractiveness and grace. He smells like sunsweet peaches and looks better than your dreams. While he supposedly understands mortals better than other divine beings, he still is very young and silly. He doesn't really understands why people have to pay for anything, how stuck-up they are about nudity and sex (he's pansexual, like most of those old gods), and didn't "get" the need for a secret identity at first, but when in Rome... Sol is however a deeply kind and compassionate person, joyful and boisterous, respectful of everyone even when flirtatious or seemingly boastful of his abilities. In fact, he secretly admires others for their qualities, which he often doesn't think he has. In short, he is always blessed with a sunny disposition !

## Powers & Abilities

Not the smartest by any means, Solar is however nigh invulnerable, tremendously strong, and can fly at supersonic speeds if he really pushes himself. His powers "charge" while he's under sunlight, and he constantly emits heat, even sunlight when "powered up". He can't control other powers and abilities yet, but in time he may learn to. Under his "mortal identity", he has taken the surname of his mother and hones his skills among humans. He makes great hot beverages and latte art.
