Name: Acheron "Ash" Parthenopaeus / Apostolos
Age: 11,558 years old. Doesn't look a day older than 21. ...Literally.
Height: 6'8"/203 cm and no, that's not a typo
Eyes: Usually described as looking like mercury, or swirling silver. They even swirl when he's dead! They sometimes turn reddish. However, he usually wears sunglasses to cover them up. He doesn't like his eyes very much.
Hair: Naturally a blonde, but he hates that colour and will never willingly use it. It's basically whatever colour he feels like at the time, often outrageous colours like green or purple. If he had a default, it would probably be black.
Medical Info: One might say that he has a godly constitution.
Physical Traits: Acheron is unnaturally good-looking. As a baby, he was cursed by a goddess of desire so that anyone who sees him--regardless of sexual orientation--is in some way physically attracted to him. Generally, only blind people and those who haven't hit puberty yet are immune to this effect. However, since achieving godhood, a "menacing aura" has settled around him that tends to keep people from getting too close.
Acheron has a hand-shaped scar on his neck that is sometimes there, and sometimes not. Even more rarely, a line that goes from throat to navel appears. He has a tattoo of a double bow-and-arrow over his right hipbone. Normally, he'd also have a dragon tattoo that appears and disappears and randomly changes sizes and placement on his body, but... she hasn't been apped yet.
In his "true" form, Acheron has marbled blue skin, black horns and hair, and red eyes. He is almost never in this form, however. His scars (the hand shape and throat-to-navel line) are always visible in this form.
I have some canon descriptions for the way he moves--
"Like a lethal animal, he moved with a primal promise of danger and masculine power."
"Dang, the man moved like water. Slow, graceful, and yet he gave the impression that at any moment he could explode into action to take down anyone who threatened him."
As far as wardrobe goes, Acheron goes for the stereotypical goth/punk look. He generally has a piercing in his right nostril and his left ear. And lots upon lots of black clothing. He's also generally carrying around a slightly beat up-looking black leather backpack with an anarchy patch and a patch with a strange sun symbol with lightning bolts through it with him.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Well, I apped him from before the events in Acheron, so pretty much anything from before that book is okay. No divulging his future!!! Pretty much anything else is a-go, too.
Notes for Psychics: For most mind readers, Acheron's mind is a deafening blank. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ HIS MIND. If you have a good reason to think that your psychic can read his thoughts, ping me and we'll talk. Because it's canonically possible, it's just INCREDIBLY RARE AND DIFFICULT! However, if you are somehow able to read his mind, be prepared for a maelstrom of angst. And a healthy dose of fury. But underneath all that is a gentle person who doesn't want anyone to get hurt you guys. :/ Usually. Also, he's bound by any promise he makes, and cannot break an oath.
Anyone who can enter dreams is welcome in, just don't let him know about it or you'll have an angry god on your hands.
For those who can Sense Shit, Acheron pings as a god! A really quite ridiculously overpowered god. His aura is intimidating and powerful and can even make other gods want to pee on themselves in terror. He's also referred to as a "god-killer", because of the sheer amount of power he has. (...One of the more recent books say he also used to be part demon, back in his human days, but I'm not sure if/how that would ping, so let's just ignore that until I get more canon on it.)
Also, he's carrying a soul in his backpack, separate to the one that belongs to him.
Abilities: ASH IS A GOD!!! He can do, uh, pretty much anything he damned well wants to. But let's try to be more specific.
He is a damned good fighter. Eleven thousand years of war will do that to a person.
As a human, he was trained in the arts of musical instruments, song, massage, dancing, and fucking. He is incredibly skilled at all of them.
Can I shape shift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Talk to me first! I'll take it on a case-by-case basis.
Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Acheron haaaaaaates physical contact, or being touched. And if you breathe on the back of his neck, grab his hair, or touch his back, you risk seriously pissing him off.
Maim/Murder/Death: Maiming is juuust fine, he can handle it! DO YOUR WORST it'll be funny. The only thing I ask is that you don't kill him--not that you're likely to be able to, BUT IF YOU CAN, you really shouldn't. His death is supposed to be one way to bring about the end of everything ever.
Cooking: Forget cooking, Acheron doesn't even eat.

Abilities: ASH IS A GOD!!! He can do, uh, pretty much anything he damned well wants to. But let's try to be more specific.
- Healing. This applies to both himself and other people. However, while instantaneous, the healing is not painless, and the worse the injury, the more it hurts.
- Resurrection. Yes, my friends, Ash is a colleague of the Moogles. Only with less saving. Unless he wants to.
- Precognition. Ash can read most people's futures. However, he's blinded to his own future, and if he becomes close to someone, he loses the ability to read theirs, too.
- Power Sensing. The ability to sense or recognize the powers of another person.
- Telekinesis. The ability to manipulate and control objects with the mind.
- Telepathy. The ability to read the thoughts of others. There are some minds that are blank to him, but that's few and far between--generally only people who are as strong or stronger than him can't be read. Gods are more difficult than humans, but he can still do it. He doesn't really go around mind-reading very often, though.
- Teleportation. The ability to disappear from one place and reappear in another almost instantaneously.
- Final Fate. What this basically means is that he has to be very, very careful about what he says, because his words can alter people's fates. Basically, anything he says can and will come true.
- Omniscience. Well, no, not quite, but it does seem that way to most people, and it is a claim that he's made before.
- Omnilingual. He can read and write in pretty much any fucking language he wants to.
- Astral/God Bolts. This is basically the ability to incinerate just about anything with a blast of power that looks like lightning. This one is rarely used.
- Omnipotence. This is my catch-all category for all the shit I forgot/possibly don't know yet.
He is a damned good fighter. Eleven thousand years of war will do that to a person.
As a human, he was trained in the arts of musical instruments, song, massage, dancing, and fucking. He is incredibly skilled at all of them.
