God of the Undeword
Human Name: Tom Angelo
Age: 21
Gender: Male
City/State/Country: New York/New York/United States
Appearance:
Tom goes for the classic leather jacket, white t-shirt, and jeans because some things never go out of style and he is the last person anyone would like to tease for looking like he stepped out of the 50's. Tom is Italian by ethnicity and this shows in his tanned skin, an ironic contrast to his previous incarnation. He has brown eyes and hair that is slicked back.
Skills/Powers: As Lord of the Dead, Hades ruled over every mortal soul that was fated by their mortal nature to enter the Underworld as well as the Underworld itself. As a mortal, Tom is able to communicate with spirits and ghosts, particularly those who have recently died and those who refuse to pass on. He will also be able to reanimate corpses to fight for him in the future and send restless souls down into the Underworld. Tom is also stealthy through a lifetime of practice and his experience from his past life. Tom is also knowledgeable of precious metals because Hades had claim over all the wealth under the earth. Tom is a decent fighter as well, but nowhere special as of yet.
Personality: When he was Hades, he grew used to the fear and scorn of everyone, including his so-called family. This is shown where Tom is rather bitter, cynical, and capable of holding grudges for a long time. Tom also has a rather dark and sarcastic humor, showing little respect for others he deems unworthy of his respect. Nonetheless, Tom is also fair and doesn't take out his anger or bitterness on people he knows doesn't deserve it. He dislikes unfair treatment of others or people getting away with whatever harm they do to others. He is also loyal and protective of the people he loves.
History: Hades was the eldest son of the Titan Lord Kronos and his wife, Rhea, and when he was barely a minute old, he was swallowed up by his own father out of fear of the prophecy that stated that he would be overthrown by his own offspring. Thus, Hades was in Kronos' stomach the longest out of all his siblings. When Zeus freed him and the others, he willingly fought at his side and when they eventually prevailed, he, Poseidon, and Zeus cast lots for the parts of the Universe they would control. Zeus won the Sky, Poseidon, the Sea, but Hades received the Underworld. Hades didn't regret receiving it and, before he was reborn, couldn't imagine it happening any other way, but he was isolated from his family and the living, who barely wanted to talk about him. His only solace was his wife, Persephone, whom he took by force, though he refused to sleep with her against her will, convinced she would love him in time.
When Hades was reborn as John, he grew up in a low-income neighborhood. His mother ran off with someone else when he was five and his father was the one who principally raised him. John had a tough life, but never unbearable. Truthfully, he felt he was meant for something, but he never knew what. When he first discovered he could "see dead people" and talk to them, he kept it to himself. It wasn't that he didn't trust his father, but he didn't want to be put in an asylum. When he received the "scholarship", he wasn't sure what he wanted, but his father insisted this was an opportunity he couldn't miss, so he enrolled in college as "undecided", even though he never planned on going to college before, instead drifting through low-income jobs.
