MYO-6921: Apollo ☆
"Wretched Creature, Leave me to rest in peace."
Protective · Mournful · Proper · Loyal
Apollo is surrounded by an air of sorrow and misery. He is quiet and keeps to himself, rarely ever showing kindness to strangers now. He used to be a gentle soul who would help any in need but that part of him has withered since descending to the burrowgatory. Apollo finds it hard to be trusting of others since his descent as well. He is very formal and arrogant, though his arrogance comes from his pride in his own capabilities rather than an inflated ego. He is very firm on his morals and where he believes is right, it is hard to sway him from his beliefs.
With his close loved ones, he is still the same soft spoken man they remember. His sadness is still evident but he is at his happiest surrounded by those he loves. Apollo would do anything for his friends and family, even if it meant his own unhappiness. Above all Apollo believes he was made to help and protect others, though his belief in his purpose has been shaken since leaving the meadows.

He wears large comfy clothing, often formal victorian styled clothes but they're always messy and rarely put together.
Trivia
- Apollo speaks in shakespearean/old english
- Apollo wears exclusively thongs, as it was the closest thing he could find to a loincloth in the burrowgatory
- Apollo's design off the concept of martyrism and having to choose between the things you love, which is why he has a lot of spikes/a crown of thorns in his design!
Relationships
Apollo's brother. He adores his brother more than any other being in existence. Apollo was willing to give up his life in the heavenly meadows to follow him to the burrowgatory. Apollo cannot understand his brother anymore, and why they desired a life away from the meadows, but he does his best to not judge his brother for his choices. Elio takes care and helps Apollo cope with his new life now and Apollo appreciates him not losing his love and faith in him after seeing him in his pathetic state
Apollo's lover. Apollo still sometimes has mixed feelings about having taken a succubun as a lover. Laz was there for Apollo during his worst times and helped Apollo gain some stability. Lazarus is attentive and does everything he can to support Apollo, which leaves Apollo feeling flustered by the care and affection. Despite his protest, Apollo melts into Laz's loving care. However he is still in denial to himself that he could love and be in a long-term relationship with a succubun.
Adonis is one of the few people Apollo loathes. Apollo does not understand how Adonis could so easily give himself over to a life of sin and filth. He also can't understand how Adonis has changed so much since they left the meadows. Adonis has grown into his god complex and it makes Apollo feel disgusted to be in the presence of someone who would dare consider themselves just as perfect as god. Apollo and Adonis don't often meet but when they do, their heavy dislike of each other is obvious to all.
Story
Heavenly Meadows
Apollo was happy and content with his life in the Heavenly meadows. As a guard for the Meadows, he was in a position to protect and care for others. Though there was little conflict and not much else to do but assist others in the community with petty tasks, Apollo was fulfilled by helping them all. He was appalled when Dove and the succubuns came into the meadows and spread their sinful temptation to their peaceful meadows, he couldn't understand why anyone would choose to leave their home for the burrowgatory. Apollo watched as more and more cherubuns left the meadows and was grateful that he and his brother, Elio, would remain faithful to their true home. He did not long to explore a new world when he had everything he wanted and needed in the Heavenly meadows.
However the worst was yet to come, soon Elio announced he was leaving the meadows. Apollo was forced to choose between his life in the meadows or staying with his brother. Apollo, loving his brother more than any other- more than even himself- makes the choice to give up his entire life in the meadows to leave with them.
Burrowgatory
The Burrowgatory is as expected for Apollo, swimming with sin and debauchery. Apollo cringes away from the succubuns and quickly secludes himself away from it all. He quickly grows to hate life there. He wallows in misery and longing for his friends and life in the meadows. His purpose of caring and protecting others is lost, leaving him feeling like he's lost a piece of his soul. He can't bear to try and get used to the society there, the few times he tried rubbed him the wrong way.
Nowadays Apollo is only happy when he is around his brother. Apollo has fallen from grace and become a miserable mess in its wake. He rarely takes care of himself the way he needs to, and Elio cares for him in these times. His kind brother, who cooks and cleans and encourages Apollo to embrace his new life in the burrowgatory with him. Even for his brother, Apollo can't bring himself to accept his life as it is now.
