Apollo Pyroxus

Grand hierarch Apollo Tal'oiare Pyroxus (a.k.a. The Silvered Sun)

Two small, cobalt blue lights can just barely be made out from beneath the surface of the blood-tainted water. Slowly they approach the surface, in short movements, as if whatever they are attatched to is shambling towards the water's edge. They eventually reach the top of the water, but not after two canid ears poke above the surface, soon followed by the rest of the owner of the cobalt eyes. His expression stoic with a slight frown, he continues stepping up and out of the water, revealing the rest of his water and blood-soaked clothes. Slowly, but surely he makes it fully out of the water, and once on shore he pauses...a glint of red rage in his eyes as he makes his way to the sound of combat.
The last you saw of him, he was headed underground with the Imperator to finally end this blasted curse and find some way to defeat the Inquest and Archons. You're starting to lose hope however, as wave after wave of golems and archons crash against your infantry lines. But then, just as an Archon's golden spear readies to pierce your armor and do you in, there is a tremenous scream of thousands...millions of trapped souls suddenly being freed from their curse, whether it be from the revenant below or the lands around you. Your foe, far more sensitive to psionics than you or your allies, cries out in pain, crumpling to the ground in an unmoving heap of metal. Looking around, you see this happening everywhere, your enemies falling by your feet. Soon after, you hear a roar of applause and celebration as they resurface from their underground adventure, The Brass Titan, The Golden Fist, The Silvered Sun and The Iron Lady, all right in the thick of what's left of the enemy and laying waste around them.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Apollo is almost always in near-peak physical condition, though his physical strength leaves much to be desired. Most of his wartime injuries from his younger years have been wiped away by resurrection into a true, living revenant.

Failures & Embarrassments

He blames himself for the death of his adoptive parents

Mental Trauma

Psionic scarring from his time as a psi-zombie and psi-revenant. It doesn't show all too much however, as he has had a long time to deal with it.

Intellectual Characteristics

Not the brightest bulb in the box really, though he is a great strategist and commander. His musical talents with his guitar are renowned.

Morality & Philosophy

Life is precious, but not everyone either agrees or realizes that. So when need be, take up arms in the defense of life, but never cause undue pain and suffering. When you kill, let it be quick, for your enemy knows pain just as you do.

Taboos

Death of the innocent. Not taking action when something can be done to save someone.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Dreams of seeing his people return to the state of prosperity they had before the fall.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

He is an absolute crack shot with a gun and can damn well near perform surgery on his enemies with his sword, but don't even bother asking him to lift something heavy. He is really bad at anything to do with engineering but give him a strategy-based game or puzzle and he'll do really well.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Music, specifically folk, rock, and power metal. Strong alcohol, and the hotter the spice the better.

Virtues & Personality perks

Patient, calm, a good listener.

Likes his booze a little too much. Is self-sacrificial to a point of endangering himself

Religious Views

Sees faith as pointless, though will definitely accept the help of divinities if offered.

Social Aptitude

Apollo is a charismatic man, though unlike most people with that trait, his ego has been tempered down over his many years and tragedies. He comes across as friendly and inviting, even when irritated or frustrated.   If someone adresses him by one of his titles, he will not interrupt them, but he will immediately after insist they simply call him by his first name.
