Double Life
ABILITIES:
-Manipulate shadows/darkness into a physical sense.
-Transport via shadows.
-“Primal rage” In times of extreme distress or high emotion, he’ll gain a more ‘primal’ sense.* Kind of like Naruto’s tailed-beast form, but with shadows and glowing white eyes instead of the red.
-Ability to melt into the shadows/darkness to hide.
*This has three 'stages' of "Primal Rage". Each stage has an increase in strength, speed, endurance, etc.
-First Stage: Shadows clinging to Apollyon a lot more and it being easier to manipulate. His eyes tend to gain a more surreal glow to them and he tends to gain a more 'feral' look; crazy hair that moves with the shadows, growling, bared fangs, crouching, etc. Apollyon has control over himself, but it's clouded by rage/despair/etc.
-Second Stage: Apollyon gains a translucent shadow 'cloak', meaning that the shadows become dense and cover him completely, giving him a somewhat exaggerated large cat look. His control loosens a bit more and he tends to be a lot more rash in attacking someone.
-Third Stage: The 'cloak' becomes opaque and his eyes become a glowing white. He loses his sense of reasoning and control. He becomes completely animalistic and primal in terms of reaction. His strength and damages increase significantly and any sort of reasoning is out of the window.
SKILLS:
-Eidetic memory
-IQ of 167
- Knows random facts
-Musician (plays violin and piano)
-Very good barista (both alcohol and coffee shop related)
-Picks up numbers very well
-Combat: He gained various knowledge of hand-to-hand from his older brother as it was recommended to his adopted parents to help his aggression and anger. His brother practiced and trained with Apollyon from the first day.
-Weapons: Much like combat, he practiced with his other older brother on two-handed weapons (like a bo staff) or hand weapons (like brass knuckles or hand blades.) On his own, he works with long-range weapons, such as a bow or throwing knives.
-Gymnastics: His therapist suggested to his parents to give him an outlet of some sort to help deal with past trauma. He picked up gymnastics after that session.
-Yoga: ^^
WEAKNESSES:
-Autistic: When he first came to the Black family and when he first was diagnosed, his parents helped him get a service dog that will help him. The dog, Garmr, is a dark brown Tibetan Mastiff who has a habit of gently ushering Apollyon inside when Apollyon wanders without mentally being there. He also has a habit of turning off the light and laying on Apollyon when he gets overstimulated.
-Insomniac
-Dyslexic
-Color-blind (Red/Green)
-Mutism: Due to his past, Apollyon finds that he can’t talk under certain circumstances or in general. Because of this, he has adopted using ASL more often than seeing if he can speak.
-Anxiety
-Visually Impaired: Need glasses to see clearly- not as bad as Erebus or Hades.
-PTSD from Childhood Abuse: Triggers for this includes small spaces; loud and angry yelling; sudden sharp movements; sudden loud noises; and being trapped in the cold with no way to get warm.
-Allergies: Allergic to Iron, apples, and mint.
-The manipulation of shadows/darkness is similar to a physical workout for him. He can manipulate and control the medium for roughly three hours. Any longer will lead to the physical strain on his person.
-Transportation is difficult and he needs to see the coordinates of where he’s going. The farther away, the more likely he’ll gain a nose bleed or faint from the strain. He can do a max of 100 miles at the moment.
-Anti-Social: He doesn’t like to talk much and can come off as abrasive towards others.

Appearance
GENERAL:
The triplets are planning to get a tree tattoo with their brothers in a few years; Apollyon would have a stipple tattoo of a walnut tree on his right calf. He has a sparse spattering of freckles covering his body, copper-gold eyes, and nearly white hair in goddess twist braids with silver clasps, silver beads and silver wire woven in. He wears a pair of simple copper stud earrings in both ears, something that’s shared with the triplets. Another thing that’s shared with them is a heart birthmark, even if it’s different sizes, colors, and locations; Apollyon’s is on his outer left thigh, small and light brown, a stark contrast with his dark skin.
He wears black browline glasses with gold trim on the bottom. He tends to wear button-ups with either a vest and a suit jacket or a thick sweater over it. He’ll always try to wear a bee pin and a bow-tie. Slacks or black jeans are his go-to for pants. His shoes tend to switch between black converse or a pair of black formal ankle boots. He’ll have a messenger bag for school that he’ll grip and sort of try to hide behind.
COSTUME:
He has a white skull painted over his face. He has a black utility belt around his waist and over moveable black skinny jeans. Attached to the belt are a pair of collapsible half-staffs, slingshot, and ammo. Kneepads are built into the pants that are tucked into a pair of black military-grade boots. He wears a black military parade jacket with a large hood attached, to act as a cowl to hide his face. The jacket has silver on it, making it look like ribs on his torso. This also gives him three silver rings around his forearms. Under the jacket is a tight black shirt tucked into his pants. He wears fingerless black gloves as well.

Personality
Apollyon’s shy and will hunch into himself, as he’s a tall man of 7’0. He doesn’t like to be seen and will try to disappear. He will be vocal and excitable when coming into the knowledge that he adores (like sharks, astronomy, and bees). His voice can project, but it tends to be on the lower end of the spectrum and a bit raspy from disuse on days where he can talk. He’ll walk to his destination quickly and will avoid crowds as he likes to be alone and not touched by strangers.
Apollyon is a man after knowledge. He’s considering being a librarian or a researcher of some sort, something that allows him to learn and let him deal with very few people. You can constantly see him tucked away in various libraries, surrounded by various books, notebooks and sheets of paper.
He can go about life without Garmr by his side, but for stressful days or days that start off on the wrong foot, he needs the large dog on him. He tends to keep to himself and doesn’t go out to stressful or uncomfortable situations during the day unless he needs to.

History
Apollyon, like Erebus, had a rough childhood. Apollyon grew up in an abusive household until he was 10 years old and lived on and off the streets until he was 12 years old. A police officer picked up the triplets and sent them to the Blacks, where they were later on adopted not long after his 13th birthday. When with his mother, he was constantly ridiculed and abused for being autistic and not neurotypical. And that's along with his less than masculine stance on various things. He is the youngest of the triplets and tends to hide behind Erebus when he feels out of places or scared.
The triplets were born with their powers and tried to hide them when they were younger. Mother thought it was the sign of the devil, especially when their father, who wasn’t there when they grew up, was named after the ruler of the underworld. (Father was banned from the household and is trying to find them to this day.)
As of right now, Apollyon is a single father who works at a small bookstore and offers to help at various libraries. Apollyon regularly signs to his family and tends to hold on family ties tightly, especially his only son Apollo, a quiet and gentle 14 year old boy that Apollyon found abandoned in an alley when the child was a tiny 6 years old.
