CHARACTER
Name: Theseus
Canon: Hades
Blurp:
Theseus is literally the guy from Greek Mythology, the late king of Athens and the drama queen of Hades. After his death he was honored as a Hero and admitted to the highest level of the Underworld, Elysium, and became one of its endbosses who gatekeeps players to this day. The game's interpretation of Theseus is the ancient Greek equivalent of a diva celebrity, basking in the attention of his undead "subjects" and holding spectacular gladiator fights where he is the (only) recognized Champion. He also somehow manages to be chuuni about it, despite all of the above literally happening. He named all his attacks, and calls them out loud when fighting, in a world where this is not normal. He is not normal.

Theseus is great at compartmentalization, bad at accepting fault, and a massive sore loser. He can be callous, cruel, and petty, but also honorable and noble. Basically, he is that one Marina and the Diamonds album. You know the one.

Vessel Type & General ideas: Offering because who can resist the irony of the legendary Monster Slayer becoming a Monster.

Seraph is tempting because it would be very funny if Theseus looked literally angelic but still had That Voice and That Personality, but Daemon will probably win out. He could have the smallest and least noticeable of physical changes (tiny Party City horns, perhaps a tail) and it'll make him cry and throw things.

I'm not sure if I know anyone or if I'll get an invite, so I might not make it in the first app round, but I would really like to try and will attempt the Test Drive Meme!
