Apollo is known as the Greek God of light and the sun, as well as the go-to guy for arts & crafts of the poetic kind. In other circles, he's just known for being Artemis' twin sibling.

Apollo hates being Artemis' twin. As much of a thrill-seeker as Artemis is, Apollo is equally known for wanting to just it easy. He has his own personal space where he tends to a flock of mutant sheep, writes poems, and paints pictures. He also attempted to get into the medical field, but given he's horrible at it, many deliberately keep their healing materials away from him. Of all the people amongst the pantheon, Apollo is also the most likely to attempt to be chaste, if only to be utterly contrarian in how most of the others in his group (especially Zeus or Poseidon, who he claims are "old money" and "too mainstream," respectively). Apollo is also the sort of person who would probably make a bad indie comic, if only because it will somehow become an underground hit somewhere.

His love for outer space bars none. He loves drawing maps of various galaxies, and with Hephaestus' help he is actually in the works of getting a spaceship up and running to go to some of the places he's seen merely in visions and dreams. While not musically talented in the least, Hermes humoured Apollo by creating a lyre specifically for him. Furthermore, Apollo followed Poseidon's footsteps when the latter started adopting cyclopean orphans, but instead of cyclopeans he rescures and shelters abandoned Muses. One appropriate way to describe him is that he tries so hard to be good at everything to where he just isn't good at anything. But don't tell that to his face, or he'll verbally harangue you for attempting to criticize anything he does personally, or mistake it for an ad hominem attack.
