#— hades.

[reddevilmcnt]

muse: hades [ champion gladiator. ] open to: m only for romance. your character has been gifted to hades for yet another stunning victory in the arena. trigger warning for darker themes, extreme kinks, d*ub/n*oncon, blood, violence.

His storm-dark eyes had reveled in the bloodied sands of the arena, red with the desperation of those clawing for survival. Hades had felt the crunch of bone beneath his boots, the weight of lives cut short by his hand. He'd heard the sneers of the ruling elite, their mocking whispers branding him as nothing more than a brute----- a beast to be caged and paraded for their amusement.

And, oh, how he savored their downfall when fortune turned against them. The occasional noble, cast into the pit as punishment or sport, made for an exquisite kill. Their blood on his hands was sweeter than any wine. There were rumors, too, of their twisted desires. Senators and patricians who longed not for his death, but for his domination. They dreamed of squirming beneath the hands of the man they deemed some lesser animal...

Yet tonight, he had been promised another indulgence---- a plaything meant to amuse and satisfy his desires. The villa's courtyard was alive with revelry, torches casting flickering light upon marble columns and the faces of laughing gladiators. The air was rich from the scent of roasted meat mingling with the sweetness of wine poured into clay cups.

Aches of his battle-worn body had been softened by the evening’s decadence, the wine coursing through his veins blurring the edges of pain, numbing the sting of freshly tended wounds from the arena. Like the countless gashes before them, they would heal, leaving behind little more than toughened scars and a resolve as unyielding as the iron gates of the Colosseum.

Tonight, there was no blood to be spilled, no crowd to cheer or jeer. Tonight, he was to be reminded of the fleeting spoils offered to those who lived not as ordinary men, but as champions shackled to Rome’s insatiable appetite for spectacle.

One of those now stood before him, a pet guided in by the Domina of the villa. Hades regarded him with the same hunger he brought to the sands, gaze fixed on the boy like a blade seeking its mark. He pushed forward, ignoring the Domina completely. “This one is mine now,” Hades growled, the faintest smirk curving his lips. “What is your name, boy?” He didn't ask out of kindness; he asked to remind the boy of his power and to savor his fear.

——— character question sheet

▌real name: hades. ▌single or taken:  married to persephone. ▌abilities or powers: geokinesis (mostly the manipulation of gems and metals, though he is able to create clefts in the earth from which the dead often pour forth), pyrokinesis (minimally. can summon flames in a pinch), control of the dead (he can summon them even in the world of the living, and commands he gives the dead are immediately obeyed. he also has the ability to sense spirits, track them, and suck the literal life essence out of mortal souls to collect them), invisibility (thanks to his helm), as well as shit like immortality, increased healing, teleportation and transformation, telekinesis, etc etc etc

▌eye colour: dark brown, almost black. ▌hair colour: black, shoulder length, and pretty curly. (like a 2b)

▌family members: his parents are cronus & rhea, his siblings hestia, hera (twin), poseidon, demeter, & zeus. his children are zagreus, melinoe, & makaria. but he's also related to the entire pantheon of gods in one way or another. ▌pets: cerberus, of course! but he also has six finches he takes very good care of. and ghost chickens!

▌something they don’t like: people invading his personal space. he can withstand a lot, but he loathes being touched without his consent. ▌hobbies/activities: reading, watching and documenting his experience with films, the study of filmography, writing & playing music (playing piano, violin, and cello), visiting museums, art galleries, operas, and theatres. ▌ever hurt anyone before:  numerous times, though none so violently as pirithous & theseus. ▌ever killed anyone before: most certainly, though hades does not necessarily enjoy it.

▌animal that represents them: dogs mostly, but some serpents as well. ▌worst habits: self-isolation & self-loathing, hiding his emotions to the point of snapping, drinking, smoking, and self-harm. ▌role models: hera, zeus, and hestia. prometheus, kratos, and metis as well.

▌sexual orientation: bisexual. ▌thoughts on marriage/kids: despite the rocky start to his marriage, it is something that hades values immensely. in his youth, he did not believe that he would ever find love, particularly not one that lasted. when he was assigned to the underworld, he wrote it off even further - for who would ever willingly sign their life away to the underworld? in the end, it was not a choice he offered his wife - partially out of poor judgment, customs, and desperation, but also because he did not think there was any other way. discovering that persephone actually grew to love him despite his transgressions was everything to him. and kids are much the same; something he wrote off as an impossibility. something he longed for, surely, but doubted he would ever have because he refused to bear them. marrying persephone did not assuage those doubts, and despite wanting it so badly, he dared not suggest it. it was persephone who eventually came to him demanding children, and they found a way. being a father is the greatest joy in hades' life.

▌fears: deep-seated fears include losing his family, failing them, and abandonment. he's also really scared of heights though. ▌style preferences: hades used to dress far more formally; full suits, perfectly pressed, and whatever other formal fashions existed in every time period. all in black, all an attempt to appear composed and in control. getting sober meant exposing parts of himself he had once tried to keep hidden, and in doing so, became far more confident just being. which meant more comfortable clothing - still nice, most of the time, and he dresses up for fancy occasions. but he likes just wearing a t-shirt and jeans, with a nice pair of shoes and maybe a suave jacket. sometimes, at home, he even wears joggers. ▌someone they love: his children. which, naturally, feels like the obvious answer but it's one that's hard earned. he's always loved his children, deeply, but in the throes of grief found it very difficult to show melinoe and makaria any affection. he's tried very hard in recent years to rectify that. his love was always there, but dormant. now it blooms.

▌approach to friendships: friendships tend to happen to hades more often than not. he certainly tries to be friendly, and those he's already close with receive more obvious attempts at connection. but any new friends he makes are usually done so because others he knows encourage a relationship, or a person looks at him and goes YEP he's going to be my friend!! hades has the autistic rizz, people find his persona charming but only the right people

▌thoughts on pie: hades loves sweets, so he definitely likes pie. ▌favourite drink: hestia's tea. ▌favourite place to spend time at:  his living room at home, watching a movie with his family.  ▌swim in the lake or in the ocean: hades would pass on both, tbh, but if he had to choose it would be the ocean. ▌their type: hades has a thing for mouthy ones. he likes a little bit of talk back, he likes people who are sassy and outspoken, who don't take his shit - but he also likes people who are patient and kind. someone who will tease him ruthlessly for not understanding pop culture but then gently explain it to him, you know? ▌camping or indoors: indoors. get that man away from dirt, bugs, and the heat of the sun.

closed starter @hadesaidxneus​ location: outside of pour unfortunate soul

thorn wasn’t sure why she still did this to herself. she didn’t drink anymore and she didn’t party as hard as she used to, but she still found herself seeking bars and other forms of it whenever she was stressed. considering that she was constantly stressed with the fact that she was stuck in a town that was supposed to be just another stop on the hex girl’s tour, she didn’t think she was doing so bad for seeking her vices out every now and then. if anything, sometimes being around the setting inspired her songwriting, though it wasn’t as good as just going out into the woods and disappearing for a few hours. still, she had every intention of going in and gathering some inspiration since it was last notice and then going home and locking herself in her studio.

she lasted about ten minutes before she decided to go. people were getting on her nerves and she really wasn’t trying to start a bar fight this time. the vibes were completely hostile and annoying. as she made her way out of the bar she ran smack into another person. “where did you come from?” she said aloud, looking the taller man up and down. “save yourself the trouble. the crowd is not worth the fight tonight. you’re better off checking out a graveyard for a more peaceful crowd.”

Hey we saw you from across the glade and we really hate your vibe.

[motziedapul]

Hey everyone! This is my lovely friend Cyrus Nemati, who many of you may know as Theseus, Dionysus and Ares from the first Hades game.

He has spent the last couple years developing his very first indie game, Vampire Therapist, which plays with the many vampire character archetypes from across media.

It's been reviewing VERY well but it's not getting very many wishlists, so if you're interested in vampires, fantastic art and clever, funny, and thoughtful writing about vampire mental health, go wishlist it on Steam!

And listen, Cyrus may be too humble to leverage his colorful career as your favourite Hades hotboys, so I'm gonna do it for him 😌 GO SUPPORT FANTASTIC INDIE DEVS LIKE THIS ONE!
