Poseidon

Poseidon is the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, droughts, and floods.

## Personality

Poseidon is overall a benevolent god, even though he shares many characteristics with Zues including pride, stubbornness, and a fearsome temper. However, he appears to have matured over the centuries to a point where these attributes do not dominate Poseidon to the same extent they do Zeus, making him much more reasonable. Poseidon loves and cares for his children and watches over them more than most of the other gods, actively giving them advice, and aiding them indirectly. Poseidon has a more caring and overall human personality. It should also be noted that despite their occasional quarrels, Poseidon, unlike most other Deity, was usually on good terms with Ares, and was the one to speak up for the war god when times call for it.

However, when Poseidon falls into depression, he can be *extremely* dramatic, much like Zeus. Poseidon also greatly admired the fifty beautiful Nereids, and was infuriated when Queen Oceana claimed to be more beautiful than any of them. As a result, Poseidon summoned a gigantic and bloodthirsty sea serpent, and ordered it to terrorize her kingdom. But perhaps the most infamous example of Poseidon's vengeful rage occurred after Minos refused to appease the sea god by sacrificing the a white bull that the god had previously sent him, so an infuriated Poseidon had Venus force Minos to fall madly in love and mate with the white bull, which resulted in the birth of the fearsome Minotaur.

Poseidon also has a very particular sense of humor, sometimes making it hard to tell if he is joking or not. He has a habit of toying with his younger brother. As Zues is begrudgingly thanking his brother for his help in defeating Typhon, Poseidon would interrupt with phrases like "I'm sorry brother. What was that?" and correcting him when Zeus says it would have been "difficult" instead of "impossible" to defeat Typhon. It has also been shown that he is very protective. Unlike his rival Athena, Poseidon isn't biased in any way.

## Appearance

Poseidon has varying degrees of grey hair, a beard to match, a deeep blue skin, and sea-green eyes that were surrounded by sun-crinkles that told one he was prone to smiling. His hands are also scarred like an old-time fisherman's.
