personality;;
Apollo is something of a jerk, but infuriatingly charming. He's selfish, manipulative, intelligent; he always knows what to say to get what he wants from someone, no matter who they are. Charming people into doing what he wants comes naturally to him, since he's been doing it since he was a child. He's very reckless and likes dangerous things, enjoys being alone when he gets too overwhelmed by the constant present of desperate court-goers and disappears into the woods for days at a time sometimes. There he hunts, frequently with a bow and arrow, because it cleans his mind and lets him focus again. He likes these times because there is no one but him and the weapon and his prey; he doesn't have to pretend to be someone he's not, or look impressive, or remember to be polite and kiss his father's hand and bow to his brother.
He makes a habit of never apologizing (and often doesn't feel guilty whatsoever for whatever it is he should probably be apologizing for) and lives his life in a way that he says he can look back and have no regrets. Apollo knows what he wants and goes about trying to get it, no matter what or who he has to sacrifice. He really enjoys parties, especially the kind where everyone gets so crazy and reckless that they stop acting like royals and just start acting like normal folks. Sometimes Apollo will travel to a different country just for the opportunity of having nobody know his face and name but sometimes he flaunts his power because he knows he can make anyone bow to him. Apollo likes being more powerful than those around him, especially when it comes to friends, which unsurprisingly he doesn't have many of. He can't stand being told what to do, and unless given a strong reason will not tolerate even advice from a friend.

occupation;;
heir in line for the throne [the second heir, technically] The second son of a second son, Apollo is not destined for the throne. His elder brother (4 years his senior) is the one expected to be the next king, and any day now maybe; their father has a wet cough that has lingered with him for weeks, and their mother passed some five years ago. Apollo's father got the crown singularly because his elder brother (who was groomed to be the next king since birth) died under mysterious circumstances when they were both young teenagers. There was no choice but for Apollo's father to be king then, despite the family never thinking he would be. Apollo is in a similar situation but has long suspected his father murdered his older brother, and doesn't have quite that same ambition yet. The desire for the throne creeps up on him unbidden sometimes, often in his dreams; he thinks of what it may be like to be the next king, rather than his brother. He dreams of what holding that sort of power would feel like, even if while conscious he would never admit his desires. pets;; Apollinaris has a pet tiger. It's a male Siberian tiger that he rescued from a criminal breeding operation six years ago, but Apollo lies whenever people asks where he got him and says he stole him off the Serengeti with his own two hands. Apollo named the tiger Dionysus and he loves the thing, way more than he lets most people know. As he's had Dionysus since he was nothing more than a scrappy cub they have a unique relationship that allows Apollo to have physical contact with the tiger. They nap together a lot, as Apollo is quite partial to sleeping and so is Dionysus. |
trivia;;
-Apollo actually wants the throne quite badly, but would never admit this -he's second in line for the throne behind his older brother (who coincidentally he hates) -he has a pet tiger named Dionysus and he loves him -really enjoys mythology, particularly Greek mythology, but doesn't tell many people this -has a terrible time learning; he's far more hands-on than he is anything else -he is something of an alcoholic, but he would never admit it -he's obviously his father's favorite child, and everyone, including Apollo's brother, knows it -he's mellowed out a lot since he started dating Orpheus -the two boys help balance Apollo out; he's a little manic, and they both bring something different to the table -he kinds of flaunts that they're his boyfriends -initially his brother tried to use it against him; Apollo, being a prince, should not be dating 'commoners' -but Apollo doesn't really care all that much what his country thinks of him, and when he came clean about it most people were just amused |
