Apollo

## Dominion

Apollo is the God of the Sun, Light, Sight, Arts, Music, Poetry, Truth, Prophecy, Healing, Medicine, Plague, and Archery.

## General Traits

Apollo's children are often looked at as some of the most friendly, warm, talented, fun, caring, and honest demigods. They often seem to radiate a natural likability that draws others to them, which couples well with their tendency to be extroverted, helpful, and skilled in the arts. Due to all of Apollo's associations, the interests of his children seem to range greatly from music and dance to medicine to archery and sports. His children can come across as extremely caring, often having an urge to tend to others who are sick and injured without questions. Additionally, they are often very energetic during the day. The pitfalls of most of this group are that they can come across as too carefree, lazy, irresponsible, overly eager and outgoing, and their moods can become extremely sullen or frustrated at night or when the sun isn't shining during the day or when others don't respond well to their creative endeavors.
