Profile
Once long ago he was a child of two worlds, till he became a man like no other. Born to a beautiful mortal woman and the king of the Olympian Gods, Zeus. He was tormented all his life by his step-mother Hera, due to Zeuss infidelity. Nevertheless it was through hardships and tragedy that he would go onto be the hero of ancient Greece. Upon his mortal death he was granted his Godhood. And after thousands of years he would return to the world of mortals. Sadly many think he's just a nut walking around claiming he's the son of a God. When in reality he is truly the Lion of Olympus the hero of days bygone era. He is.. The mighty HERCULES! (cue music)

Description
ExpandClick to expand.
The man standing ahead is something to behold. He's tall, really tall, standing at about 6'5", with broad shoulders, perfectly tanned skin tone and a muscular build. His hair is brown and slightly curly, but is kept out of his piercing blue eyes by a cloth mantle almost golden in color. He wears a well kept and well trimmed beard that covers his jawline, but all it takes is a glance and anyone can see he has a strong, defined, chin under all the hair.
Currently he wears.. not much. On either wrist he wears a golden band that reaches from his wrist to mid-forearm. As for his clothing he wears a sash, gold in color with green trim on the edges that crosses from his left shoulder, over his toned and hairy chest, to his right hip. There it meets a belt of the same coloring and style, gold with green trim, with a lion head belt buckle. From his waist down he wears what can be only called a kilt. The kilt keeps with the color scheme, gold with green trim. On his legs he wears a pair of brown, thigh-high, studded leather gladiator sandals.

History
ExpandClick to expand.
Hercules is the son of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, and Alcmena, a mortal woman. Zeus had seduced Alcmena while in the guise of her husband. When Hercules was born, he showed signs of extraordinary strength even before he was even a year old. As he grew older Hercules had many notable adventures in ancient times. Aiding Jason and the Argonauts in quest for the Golden Fleece and Saving the Titan Prometheus from eternal torment, to name a few. But Hercules became best known for his celebrated Twelve Labors, which were performed in part as his penance for a crime by, but not of, his doing.
Hercules would eventually meet his mortal demise at the hands of his wife at the time, Deianeira. She had been tricked into making a love charm from a dying centaur's enchanted blood. It was more of a curse, for when rubbed the love charm into Hercules shirt, he was overcome by an unspeakable agony. Even after he removed the shirt. The only way to stop it was for Hercules to burn himself, alive, on a funeral pyre. It was than that Zeus intervened by making Hercules and immortal and bringing him to Olympus.
But as the millennia past Hercules grew restless, impatient and started to suffer from wanderlust. Zeus had forbid all Olympian Gods from visiting Earth since the rise of Christianity. That did not stop Hercules from sneaking to Earth for some fun. However when Zeus found out he felt that he would teach his son and banish him from the halls of Olympus. Which didn't bother Hercules one bit. Now an exile from his home, the world's greatest hero roams looking for adventure, women and a good stiff drink.

Personality
ExpandClick to expand.
Hercules is loud, impulsive, and often crude model of a man. But he's still a man. Unlike most heroes, who take their work very seriously. Hercules, on the other hand, seems like he's in it for the thrill of the competition, the adventure and the sheer fun of it all. There are sometimes he'll even go looking for fights if there isn't enough traditional superheroing to go around. On top of that he's a womanizer of legendary proportions, with romantic conquests all over the world. Some while they're supposedly married or even dating another. But he doesnt break their hearts, giving them a moment of downright enjoyment. And yet, for all of his bravado, he's still unquestionably a true hero. Yes he's damaged, but he nevertheless remains a hero. He'll always be there for someone in need of help, even if it means putting his own well-being in danger.
Abilities
ExpandClick to expand.
AGILITY
The first time someone sees Hercules, they see a large man made of muscles. But looks can be deceiving. He's incredibly agile for a man of his physical size. In fact he's moves like a man half his size, quickly and smoothly. His swiftness on his feet allow him the ability to perform some of the most incredible feats. Such as catching objects in mid air or dodging the most obvious attacks before they can land. His balance is also quite astounding, making it hard for most to knock him off his feet.
DURABILITY
Hercules body: skin, organs and even his bones, are significantly denser than those of a mortal man. But even the strongest of bones can still be broken. But it would take someone with enough strength to break them. And even then it wouldn't be an easy thing to do. His skin can withstand many different forms of effects that can normally cause damage. Temperatures ranging from sweltering heats to frigid colds seem to have little to no effect on him. Whereas conventional weaponry such as: blades and bullets seem to just bounce off his skin. However massive amounts of energy can affect Hercules, even cause him some pain, but even then the amount of energy blast will only slow him down. The same is true for the extremes in temperature.
REGENERATION
Being a God definitely has its perks. One being your body heals quicker than a mortals. Sure Hercules body is already quite resistant to normal attacks. But when the attacker is a bit more powerful damages can be done. But it's damage he can recover from. Any wounds he receives tend to heal, the time it takes depends on the extent of the injury. Bruises, scratches and cuts heal quickly then fades from existence within minutes. While more serious injuries, such as severe burns, broken bones and possibly lost limbs, need more time to heal. His body is also able to fend off many if not all of mortal man's basic viruses and diseases.
STAMINA
Hercules muscles don't fatigue like a mortals, thus making him near tireless. He's able to perform strenuous tasks for hours even days on end depending on the task. His resistance to most diseases and foreign toxins that would kill a normal man is incredible. And the possibilities of a poison, virus or bacteria, imbued with mystical energies being created to affect him are slim. It would have to be designed by someone with enough knowledge and mystical power to attack and significantly affect his Olympian biology.
STRENGTH
When you hear the name Hercules, you think of pure unadulterated physical strength. And he is perhaps the strongest being on the face of the Earth. Able to lift one hundred tons with an ease, but if there is any need of proof as to his level of strength, then one needs to look no further than the time he replaced Atlas, the condemned Titan who supports the weight of the heavens upon his shoulders. However his strength does not rest only in his arms and back but in his legs as well. His great strength grants him the ability to run up to 100 mph for a short distance and even jump vertically to a height well over 100 feet in the air. And it's because of his incredible level of strength that has placed him in a rare group of powerhouses whose sheer power is at such a level that there's no humanly way possible to gauge their limits. He joins others like Thor and the Hulk in this group, but where they have more raw power. Hercules has raw strength. He is, after all, the man for whom the word 'Herculean' was created.

Skills

ATHLETICS
Hercules isn't much of an acrobat, but he can run, jump, and swim quite well. In fact he can run up to 100 miles per hour in a sprint, jump up to 100 feet vertically and even swim up to 75 mph in bursts. No surprise coming from the man who helped create the Olympic games millennia ago. He participated for a while until he shockingly withdrew from the games. Reason being, because of his incredible skill and sheer strength he won every event. And he felt it was unfair to the other participants.
COMBAT
Hercules has had millennia to practice all styles of Greek combat. And he's usually happy with just using his fists and body slams. But when he comes up against a real challenge he'll revert to his of training, which combined with his raw power makes him one of the scariest hand-to-hand combatants on the face of the planet. The following are a few of the styles of combat he is trained in:
-WRESTLING: Wrestling is a discipline older than any other martial art throughout the ages. And Hercules just happens to be the greatest 'pure' wrestler that has ever lived. And his knowledge of how to use grapples, locks and leverage against an opponent is none the less incredible. This means he can take hold of his opponent, be it a man or a creature of greater size and strength. And physically put them into submission.
-BOXING: Boxing in ancient Greece was a far cry from what the sport is like today. All it was, was two men throwing punches at one another, wearing nothing but leather straps on their knuckles. There was no ring, no weight class, no time limit and the last one standing was the winner. It was violent and brutal, a perfect sport for a man who can throw blows with the power to destroy mountains.
-PANKRATION: Created by Hercules himself, this form of combat is the combined techniques of both boxing and wrestling. And is perhaps considered the precursor to modern mixed martial art fighting. This form of combat is a combination of punches, chokes, throws, grapples take downs and punishing joint locks that is brutal and direct.
-WEAPONS TRAINING: Trained by the greatest teacher of his time, Chiron the Centaur. Hercules has a grand knowledge of melee weapons such as sword, staffs, knives, spears, axes and clubs. He's honed these skills over the last three thousand of years since, making him awesomely capable at whatever weapons he uses. Though he knows how to use them he doesn't care for bladed weapons, preferring to lead with his fists instead. He also seems to shy away from using the bow as well, something to due with an incident in his past. However when he does choose to use a weapon, he loves a good blunt object to make his point.
DRINKING
Like birds to air and fish to water, Hercules is a man who likes to drink and thinks he can drink better than most. In fact he's so good he thinks it's a skill. If there's drink available, Hercules is drinking it. If there's the opportunity for a drinking contest, not only is Hercules leading the way, he's drinking twice what everyone else is supposed to drink for the drinking game, just because he can and he likes to.
MUSIC
Many years past Hercules was trained to play the stringed instrument known as the lyre. Though not the greatest student he did the best he could until the day he broke his lyre over the head of his teacher and accidentally killed the man. Since then he's practiced quite a bit and has become quite the passable musician. He can play most stringed instruments that can be strummed or plucked. Instruments like guitars, mandolins, lutes, etc. But not only can he play and instrument, he has the singing voice of an angel, well a god to be exact.

CHARM
Hercules is a charmer. He just has that special something that makes people likeable. He's naturally flirtatious, very friendly, quite approachable and easily inviting towards anyone he meets. He's just looking to have a good time and this makes him very successful with women. Not only that , but he's straightforward, doesn't play games and truthfully cares about their feelings. In short he loves women, perhaps he loves them just too much. And while there are those women who claim that his behavior is nothing less of being a chauvinistic, they somehow still find his charm refreshing.
GOLDEN MACE
The mace is a massive golden cylinder atop a sturdy handle with a strap on the end for the wrist. Forged out of the divine material adamantine, in the volcanic depths Olympus' Mt. Aetna. The mace was handcrafted by the god Hephaestus for his half-brother, Hercules. He did so having known of Hercules' love for a blunt weapon. Adamantine is one of the hardest material in the known universe and it's completely unbreakable. It possesses no offensive magics aside the inherent magic quality of the Olympian metal. Which comes in handy when Hercules goes up against people and monsters who can be harmed by magic.
LION PELT
There a few things in this world Hercules likes to hold onto. The pelt of the Nemean Lion just happens to be one of them. He acquired the pelt during the first of his twelve labors. When he met the beast he quickly discovered that the beast hide was impervious to physical harm. So he did the next best thing and strangled it to death. After he killed the lion Hercules skinned it, by using the beast's own claws to do the job, and then made a cloak out of its skin. Hercules doesn't often wear the mantle, but when he does you know there is a fight to be seen. Seeing him wear it only means he's readying for a serious fight.

RECOGNITION
Hercules is well known most everywhere he goes. The name itself 'Hercules' causes people to think of heroics of an age long gone. It also conjures up memories of cartoons, movies and TV shows. Not to mention there was even a word created in honor of his feats of strength. The reason for all of this is because Hercules history and saga is so widespread, that he's so well known worldwide. And while some people have met and discovered the real man behind the legend. Many people still think he's nothing more than a myth.
WEALTH
Hercules doesn't really care about money, he has no need for it and never carries any on him. But that doesn't mean he don't have a coin to his name. In fact he has plenty on Olympus in the form of gems and gold coins. He just doesn't have any access to it presently. But that doesn't matter. He always seems to make money quickly somehow and then spend it just as fast. Because of this he can go from prince to pauper and back to prince in a matter of weeks. the truth behind his flow in cash is the killing he's made from investments he's made over the years. Of which include: Breweries, wineries, apartment buildings, houses, a few well named conglomerates and one adult toy store.

Weaknesses
ExpandClick to expand.
COMPETITIVE
Hercules just can't pass up a good challenge. This gets him into just about the same amount of trouble as women do. Whereas women are more of a personal hazard. This causes problems amongst his friends and associates. Seeing that his need to win the challenge puts up blinders and get them hurt in the process, when he should be protecting them. And it's only when he realizes this will he actually back down from any challenge.
PAST
As most know from reading about him, Hercules has done some things in his past that even he isn't proud of. Most known of these events his most heinous is the murder of his family through magic of madness cast upon him by Hera. Another event, while not of his doing, was the attack of the Amazon Queen, Hippolyta by a doppelganger sent by Hera. This caused the rift between him and the Amazons for millennia to come. And it's through these attempts of revenge on his person causes him a great deal of hurt that saddens him to the point of depression even to this day.
RAGE
Normally Hercules is a jovial, upbeat and fun loving man determined to do no wrong. Yet, there are times when he can be pushed too far, goaded into losing his temper or get lost in the danger he's in, and steps over the border of what is right and wrong. And often than not it's quite destructive. Like a bull he sees red everywhere and will smash all that's in his way. And by the end of the rampage furniture, cars and even buildings will have seen the rage of Hercules. Of course by the end his superhuman stamina will be all but spent leaving him to tired to even drink.
THREE SHEETS
Three casks, six kegs, twenty bottles and god knows how many shots as well as two well endowed blonds later, Hercules' is quite a different person. He can be as happy as a kid in a candy store, but at the same time his judgment grows very lax. He can easily be talked into a going off on some harebrained adventure, but at the same time that fine line he straddles between hero and idiot becomes thinner. And once over this line, it's easy to anger and prod the Prince of Power into a fight. While this may sound like an Epic bar brawls told for eons by drunk frat boys everywhere. It's not so awesome when it pours out into the middle of the street.
THRILLSEEKER
Hercules feels the need to seek out action in all its forms, all the time, be it day or night. He needs it just to feel truly alive. If things get dull and boring, by his standards, he'll go looking for adventure till he finds it. Be it picking a fight or starting a beer chugging contest. Whatever it takes to get the blood pumping. This makes things a tad challenging for anyone that hangs around with him. Because what's the fun in doing something stupidly insane if there's no one to see it?
WOMEN
All men have their weakness. And with Hercules his true 'Achilles heel' just happens to be the fairer of the sexes, women. He just can't help it. Being with a beautiful woman or women are up there with a good fight in his book. And as all vices do, this one tends to get him into trouble quite a bit. And all it would take is an idealistic woman with all the right curves to grab Hercules attention. Then she could easily lead him around persuading him to do things she wants and he wouldn't normally do.
ZEUS
Lord of the Olympus and a the father of Hercules, amongst others which also include Ares. And as the King of the gods he has the power over his fellow Olympians. If he so desired it he could strip Hercules of his powers or even his immortality at a whim. And considering how headstrong and often offensive Hercules can be, it's any wonder Zeus doesn't get angry with him more often.

He can easily be talked into a going off on some harebrained adventure, but at the same time that fine line he straddles between hero and idiot becomes thinner. And once over this line, it's easy to anger and prod the Prince of Power into a fight. While this may sound like an Epic bar brawls told for eons by drunk frat boys everywhere. It's not so awesome when it pours out into the middle of the street.
THRILLSEEKER
Hercules feels the need to seek out action in all its forms, all the time, be it day or night. He needs it just to feel truly alive. If things get dull and boring, by his standards, he'll go looking for adventure till he finds it. Be it picking a fight or starting a beer chugging contest. Whatever it takes to get the blood pumping. This makes things a tad challenging for anyone that hangs around with him. Because what's the fun in doing something stupidly insane if there's no one to see it?
WOMEN
All men have their weakness. And with Hercules his true 'Achilles heel' just happens to be the fairer of the sexes, women. He just can't help it. Being with a beautiful woman or women are up there with a good fight in his book. And as all vices do, this one tends to get him into trouble quite a bit. And all it would take is an idealistic woman with all the right curves to grab Hercules attention. Then she could easily lead him around persuading him to do things she wants and he wouldn't normally do.
ZEUS
Lord of the Olympus and a the father of Hercules, amongst others which also include Ares. And as the King of the gods he has the power over his fellow Olympians. If he so desired it he could strip Hercules of his powers or even his immortality at a whim. And considering how headstrong and often offensive Hercules can be, it's any wonder Zeus doesn't get angry with him more often.
