Basic Appearance Zeus tends to dwarf the other gods as he stands like a mountain with flowing hair as white as the clouds and a full stache and beard. He wears no armor but the armguards upon his forearms which assist in his ability to produce lightning from his hands. He wears a flowing battle skirt and sandals that weave up his solid calves. He resembles the father and king he is always portrayed to be, and emanates a presence of power, fear, and divinity. His hair and body bears a gentle celestial glow and his eyes are sky-blue and will often crackle with electricity.
Background: [nutshell] Brother to those above, father to those below, victorious in the Titanomachy and Gigantomachy, slayer of several giants and people, punisher, man whore, and is now King of the Gods because of a pulling of straws. Zeus assigned the various gods their roles.
Personality: Zeus, if ever needing to be in god form is often serious and warm. He is easy to befriend and also easy to offend. He demands respect from everyone and everything, and he always enjoys his women. Whenever important matters need to be discussed, he'll summon all the gods of Olympus to meet with him whether for ceremonies, marriages, or war. When in battle he is ruthless, taking his fights seriously, and vigorous with determination. His relationship with his children goes: He gets along with everyone even though Ares is the oddball and is often disliked. He sympathizes with his son so he can always come talk to "dear old, Dad." The other oddball god, his brother, Hades; he doesn't see him much but when he does, he's always glad to see him despite his cold and reserved attitude. He loves all the gods (especially Aphrodite, ssh.)
