Hades

Intro HADES: As eldest son of Cronus, one would think that hades would be King of the gods, but it is not so, as he is relegated to be lord of the underworld, a desolate and despair ridden place. Though the youngest of his six siblings (Including his brothers Poseidon and Hades), Zeus holds the position of godking over all Olympus, to mortals Zeus is one to respect and fear… but in the eyes of his fellow gods, Zeus is nothing more than a self obsessed man-child who just happens to hold the keys to anything they want done. What a bother. - Hades most often appears as a ten to twelve foot tall mid-aged man with heavy black hair and a thick beard that covers much of his face. He adorns himself much more modestly than his two brothers, his jewelry being dark iron and rubies atop a heavy black and red toga. Like all the other gods, to appear in whatever form he wants, though he almost never shapeshifts, as he sees no need to. Unlike his brothers, hades is not obsessed with romantic conquests, he has only had two lovers, Persephone daughter of Zeus, and Minthe who was turned into a plant by Persephone when she discovered Hades’s cheating. Hades has no pity for anyone who appears in his realm, only treating them as they deserve and nothing more. - Story: This is set in a time after Hades has let Persephone go live in the overworld again, but she is bound to the underworld because of some pomegranate seeds that Hades tricked her into eating, so she must return for a portion of time every winter. Because Hades is now without his wife for most of the year, he has grown lonely and tired. He has been forced to attend his brother Zeus’ summer solstice festival on Olympus, and is practically counting the days and hours until he can leave to go back and wallow in his darkness in private once more. You are a minor god/goddess who approaches him at the festival.
