Name: Markus Light
Role: Zeus
God/Titan Symbol: A large beautiful tattoo of a bald Eagle tattooed on his back, and double lighting bolt tattoos on each wrist.
Appearance:
Height: 6'1
Weight: 180lbs
Eyes: Sky-Blue
Hair: Long brown dreads that reach to the end of his back.
Body-Art: 5 lobe piercings and 2 cartilage piercings in both ears, tongue piercing, nose piercing, and the tattoos mentioned above.
Persona: Over the last several years Zeus has begun to endulge in in all the sins mortal life offers up so readily, essentially - the life of a rockstar. He's morphed into an attractive young man who lives quite the carefree lifestyle. He's always the center of the party wherever he goes, and can attract groupieish women to him like it's childsplay. However, unlike those he hangs around, the drugs on Earth have no effect on him unless he lets them. Ex: He can get high, however unlike others he's able to remain completely cognitive while doing so. Ex #2: He can drink 100 beers and stay lucid.
Job?: Markus sings with the house band of one of the hottest & largest clubs in the entire city; Slate.. When he sings with them, they're dubbed "L'arc~En~Ciel" and since the two founding members are Japanese, and Markus just happens to be fluent, they tend to sing a lot of songs in either Japanese or a mixture of English and Japanese. (Yes, i'm hijacking L'arc~En~Ciel for this RP! xD)
No one ever seems to mind that they can't understand the language of the band, because they're utterly captivated by his voice. (Hyde <3)
Powers: Outside of being immortal, and immune to injury(like all the Olympians are):
- Being the king of Gods, Zeus has the ability to completely control the weather/environment he's within.
Ex: If someone in Times Square pisses him off, he can turn a sunny day in NYC until one hell of a windy thunderstorm, and he can control the actual lightening as well.
Ex2: Zeus can let out air-attacks using the wind. Think an airbender on steroids. He can make the air-burst as small as thrusting a car into a building, to as big as thrusting a building into another building. When he lets out the power the ground will shutter as if thunder is running through it, and if the attack is big enough the ground will begin to crack.
- Zeus can also control ones movement. Average humans, or weak foes, can be completed halted and/or physically manipulated, however much stronger foes can only be halted for a few minutes. The stronger the opponent, the shorter the time they'll be stopped and the less likely Zeus will actually be able to manipulate their body. But there's not a single soul who won't be stopped for at least 60 seconds.
- After becoming the King of Gods transparency of his fellow Olympians powers become a power in and of itself. There isn't a skill or power from another God that Zeus isn't familiar with and can't see coming. It doesn't in the least mean that one of his fellow Olympians couldn't ever lay a hand on him, it does however means he can't be tricked by any of their powers. He will always either see or sense it coming, and attempt to deflect it. (Basically, you can't sneak up on him, but Speed and Strength in ones attack determines whether it'll hit or not. Him knowing and seeing all your moves does NOT mean he can't be hit by them if they're powerful enough.)
- Lastly, Zeus has the ability to learn something simply by touching a person who is knowledgeable in it.
Ex: Think Starfire from Teen Titans. She could touch someone who was a boxer, and suddenly have their strength as a boxer. Or she could touch someone who spoke Japanese, and suddenly have their ability to speak Japanese.
He only uses this ability on HUMANS, and NOT other Gods/Goddesses(that wouldn't be fair).
To date, some of the most notable abilities he has learned from touching people are:
- Speaking an obscene amount of languages.
- Being efficient in Krav Maga.
- Being able to sing.
- Being an expert at Guitar.
- Learning to drive - via a race car driver.(which should give you an idea of how he'd drive if given control of someones car! tsk tsk! lol)
- Flying an Airplane.
What do you hope to achieve by the end of this war?: Zeus is the furthest thing from modest when it comes to the Titans. The Olympians beat them once and he has full faith they can be pulverize them again. He's eager to put each and every one of the resurrected Titans in their places so that he can go about with his carefree escapades.
Relations: His fellow Olympians are probably the only lot of beings he puts in the same category as himself. As i mentioned before, he's lacking when it comes to modesty most of the times, and while he might not vocalize it, he mentally views everyone and everything else as beneath him in some form or fashion - EXCEPT his fellow Olympians. He might prefer to not jump into one of their battles simply out of his liking of solitary fighting, however if he is needed by one of them, he'll go - even if he rolls his eyes and curses under his breath the entire way. They are his family, simply put.
