=== Residence ===
Dolos lives on the 60th floor of the GC

=== Personal Information ===

'''General Overview''': Dolus has always been free to roam around the Earth. He left Olympus shortly after Ate fell to go find himself and cause some trouble. During the Renaissance Era, he found his love for art and has been pursuing it ever since. It helps him sooth the voices in his mind and keeps him distracted. Now that he has his friends back, he is back to his old ways of causing Chaos while running his Art Museum on the side.

'''Nicknames''': Dole

'''Likes''': Art, Painting, Classical Music, Games, and Dogs

'''Dislikes''': Quietness, Laziness, Cocky People, Early Mornings.
=== Flaws / Weaknesses ===
'''Tongue Tied.''' Dolus is only able to speak in lies. This can be frustrating for him when he is wanting to tell someone the truth. Over time, he has learned how to cheat and tell half lies when trying to get his point across.

'''Rebellious.''' From a young age, Dolus has always rebelled against his superiors, doing things his family would find not appropriate. He has the urge to do things in a way that isn’t seen as acceptable and will usually go through with it.

=== Skills / Abilities ===

'''Immortality.''' Technically immortal. Immune to the effects of aging, cannot die by any conventional means, and is immune to all known mortal diseases and infections. As a deity, they are able to teleport, or "pop" anywhere in the mortal plane with a few exceptions, the God Floors of the GC HQ are mystically protected, so no teleporting to or in between them, anything on the non-mortal plane, i.e., the Underworld, Atlantis, and the Void, are non-accessible without a guide.

'''Mother Tongue:.''' As the bridge between the mortal world and the divine, they speak all languages mortals do, even the long dead ones.

'''Illusion.''' As the Prime of Trickery, Dolus makes you see what he wants you to see. This power was something he taught Atë when she was young, which is why she is also the goddess of Delusion.

'''A Way with Words.''' Dolus is able to sweet talk himself out of any situation when using this ability. His eyes will glow silver when using this ability, putting his victim under a trance. While they are under the trance, Dolus is able to convince them to allow him to escape or get his way.

'''Rabbit Out of the Hat.''' Creating things from clay is one of Dolus’s favourite things to do. He can use this to his advantage by creating objects from clay that will come to life for a short period of time to create mischief.
=== Personal Attire ===

'''Normal Daily Wear''': When he is at home, Dolus will wear a spare shirt and black jeans while creating his art. Many of these clothing articles have stains on them from past art experiments.

'''Alternative Dress Wear''': When going to a Art show or Gala, Dolus will wear black turtlenecks and black dress pants. He will wear whatever is in style for Artists to wear while out.

=== Magical Artifacts/Weapons ===
None

=== Historical Synopsis ===

 === Residence ===
-Dolos lives on the 60th floor of the GC
+Dolus left the GC a long time ago, and although Floor 60 is still his, he hasn’t used it in centuries. He views the Earth as his home now, and has properties all over the planet. Some are easy to find, others are hidden away (which is just the way he likes it).

+'''General Overview''': Dolus left Olympus a long time ago, after...well...let’s call it a bit of a falling out with some of the other gods. Since then he has roamed the Earth, building up a vast web of contacts, sources, informants, and people who owe him favours. He’s well connected with a wide cross section of society, from street beggars, all the way up to those within the upper echelons of society.
-'''Nicknames''': Dole
+During his time away from the other gods, Dolus has also focused on developing his creative skills, especially his work with clay. Although not the greatest artist, he is known in the right circles, and most importantly his art soothes him (as well as being a plausible reason for him owning a legitimate business through which he can operate)
-'''Likes''': Art, Painting, Classical Music, Games, and Dogs
+'''Nicknames''': Although he has many aliases, Dolus is recognised as Dole, or Darren (but that’s only to one certain mortal, only)

+'''Likes''': Sculpture, art, games and dogs

He’s always running schemes, plotting how he could bring down Governments (not that that really interests him - unless he needs something from someone) or working out how to pack up the chess pieces before his opponent has made their first move.
