ORIGINS & FAMILY:
Name: Apollo
Nickname: Mean Kitty
Reason for name: Apollo is a sun god, same as Helios, so their names go together.
Birthday: January 1st
Age: Ageless, but looks 3-5 as a cat and early-mid 20s as a person
Gender: Male
Place of birth: Elysian
Places lived since: Crystal Tokyo
Parents’ names, backgrounds, occupations: I guess Helios counts as his "parent"? Helios is the priest at the temple in Elysian. Not much is known about his past, but he did turn into a pegasus and hide in ChibiUsa's dreams to protect the golden crystal. The two fell in love, but he had the decency to wait until she was more grown up before pursuing her romantically.
Number of siblings: None
Relationship with family (close? estranged?): Despite Apollo's tendency to act passive-aggressive when angry or upset, he still shares a close relationship with Helios.
Happiest memory: The first time Helios let him tag along to Earth and see inside people's dreams.
Childhood trauma: Being kidnapped and tortured by the Dead Moon Circus for information on whereabouts of the golden crystal.
Children of his/her own?: None
If so, relationship with their mother/father?: N/A
Age he/she gave birth/became a father: N/A
PHYSICAL:
Height: About 10" high and 18" long (not counting the tail) as a cat, about 5'10" as a human
Weight: 10 lbs as a cat, 145 lbs as a human
Build: Athletic with long, slender limbs and a long tail (when a cat)
Nationality: Elysian
Disabilities (physical or mental, including mental illnesses): A bit paranoid, maybe a bit of OCD
Complexion (freckles, acne, skin tone, birth marks): As a human has a light apricot skin tone that probably wouldn't tan even if he tried. In both cat and human forms has a golden Earth symbol on his forehead and the scars of torture by the Dead Moon Circus (although the scars are less noticeable as a cat, because he's furry).
Face shape: Triangular as a cat, more rectangular as a human
Distinguishing facial features: Large, almond-shaped golden eyes; a long, straight nose (as a human); perfect teeth and a nice smile (when he bothers to show it); large ears; the golden Earth symbol on his forehead (in either form)
Hair color: Red (orange red, not red red), some white under his chin and on his belly as a cat
Usual hair style: Has an unruly patch at the top of his head that tends to stand up no matter what he does; hair is slightly wavy (especially if it grows) as a human and has similar tendencies to be untidy.
Eye color: Gold
Glasses? Contacts?: Nope
Style of dress/typical outfit(s): As a cat, sometimes wears a collar Helios gave him with the look of snakeskin and a lyre-shaped tag with his name on the back, but otherwise goes naked; often wears either an auburn colored suit with a Nehru jacket as a human or Chinese pajama-looking suits when he exercises
Typical style of shoes: Barefoot, or dress shoes most often as a human
Health (is this person usually sick? or very resilient?): Generally good health, seldom sick, but often tired from recurring nightmares he has of his torture by the Dead Moon Circus.
Grooming (does she/he wear makeup? shower daily? wear only clean clothes? pluck her eyebrows?): Grooms himself often as cats tend to do; showers at least once daily if in human form
Jewelry? Tattoos? Piercings?: Only the aforementioned collar Helios gave him
Accent?: None to speak of
Unique mannerisms/physical habits (bites nails, talks with hands, taps feet when restless): Twitches tail when nervous or excited (as a cat), steeples fingers when thinking (as a human)
Athletic?: Yes, mostly through martial arts
INTELLECT:
Level of education (high school drop out, undergrad BA/BS, PhD, MD, etc.): Never attended school, but was taught by Helios and the Maenads.
Level of self esteem: Pretty good, although self-conscious about the scars on his body
Gifts/talents: Can change between cat and human at will, has the usual kitty senses and movement as a cat, can speak/think/reason like a human in either form, can enter dreams (albeit briefly), can perform martial arts as a human and use Wind and Fire Wheels, good at chess and strategy games
Shortcomings:
Style of speech (loud, mumbler, articulate, etc.): Quiet voice, speaks formally and enunciates clearly
“Left brain” or “right brain” thinker?: Mostly right brain
Artistic?: Not very
Mathematical?: Somewhat
Makes decisions based mostly on emotions, or on logic?: A little of both
Neuroses: Perfectionist both with self and others
Life philosophy: Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed.
Religious stance: Has a strong faith from growing up in a temple, raised by a priest and some priestesses.
Cautious or daring?: A little of both
Most sensitive about/vulnerable to: Most sensitive about his scars and the events that made them. Most vulnerable to, well, anything to do with Helios. Helios has this kitty wrapped around his finger.
Optimist or pessimist?: Used to be an optimist as a kitten, but since his kidnapping and torture he's much more of... not really a pessimist, but more like a realist.
Extrovert or introvert?: Introvert
Level of comfort with technology: Eeh, he can bumble through, but I wouldn't ask him to do anything important at a computer or it's likely to be lost or screwed up.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Current marital/relationship status: Single, not looking.
Sexual orientation: The only crush he's ever had was Helios, so I'm just gonna say gay.
Past relationships: None
Primary reason for being broken up with: N/A
Primary reasons for breaking up with people: N/A
Level of sexual experience: None
Story of first kiss (if any—if not, how does he/she want it to happen?): He doesn't think much about kissing, being a cat.
Story of loss of virginity (if any—if not, how does he/she want it to happen, if at all?): He doesn't think much about sex, either. He has never recognized or acknowledged his feelings about Helios.
A social person? (popular, loner, some close friends, makes friends and then quickly drops them): Not really close to anyone besides Helios.
Most comfortable around (person): Helios
Oldest friend: Helios
How does he/she think others perceive him/her?: Distant, standoffish, unfriendly

Dreams: To become a priest of Elysian
Greatest fears: Losing Helios

That's basically it.
