Professions
While not in the Complex or running errands for Zeus, Apollo is owner of a club named Solaria. It lies a few blocks down from the God Complex.
The club is a haven for music lovers, a place where anyone can go and simply indulge in their own preferred genre of music.
It is a gift from the God of Music to his people, and in turn, gains him favourable worship from those that adore him.
Residence
Apologies resides on floor 32 of the God Complex, in an apartment that houses a large collection of varied music as well as space for his bow and a quiet room where he looks into the future.

An avid hunter, Apollo is often found hunting alongside his sister when time allows.
Nicknames: Olly (to Artemis only)
Likes: All forms of music, lazing in the sun, keeping his archery skills sharp in contests with the other Gods.
Dislikes: Disrespectful and rude mortals; not getting enough sun; badly tuned instruments and bad players.
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.
Babble-speak. Apollo can communicate in all languages and dialects.
Personal Attire
Normal Daily Wear: When not on official business for Zeus, Apollo is often seen in casual clothing, quite often jeans, boots and shirts that bear witty slogans or pop culture references. However, when he is performing a task for his father, Apollo wears suits of either dark blue or black.
Alternate Dress Wear: No alternate clothes, just those mentioned above
Magical Artifacts/Weapons
I had my brother, Heph, turn my golden bow into a small pendant for a necklace. If I need it, I just tap on it and it comes to full size. It’s pretty dope. He also turned my sword and shield into a wristband, and my lyre into a glass guitar that sparks when I play it, like a plasma globe.
Historical Synopsis
Born on the island of Delos to Zeus and Leto, Apollo is the god of many things including the sun, music, medicine, disease, prophecy and truth.
He is a slayer of several great mythological beasts, including Python, an act that led to the establishment of what is now the modern Olympics.
Apollo is also an oracular deity, considered the patron God of Delphi and the most Hellenic of the Pantheon due to his varied and often contradictory gifts. He was gifted foresight for his humble nature, but has never spoken a single word to another of what he sees, preferring to let the future unravel as it is intended.[1] [2][3]
Introduction
Hello, dear mortal.
My name is Apollo.
You may not have heard my name, but you will have heard the fruits of my favor every time a musician plays a beautiful melody, or the sun shines upon the innocent and the carefree.
My favor is easy to gain, my friend, and I encourage you and your fellow mortals to come up, say hello and possibly befriend a deity.
But do please remember… should you force me to turn away, your greatest melodies will become chaotic noise… the sun may never shine upon you again…
But I don't think we will have much trouble on that score… so come and say hi, my friend. I may be a God and a son of Zeus, but you never know - I might just brighten up your day.
