(Eye spent way too long on these descriptions of the olympians so eyem giving them to all the accounts)
Eye don't play hades. Since hades is a very established character. However, you can ask hades questions through hermes if you want. Hades doesnt show themselves much ever since the acheron burned down. But system rebuilt they remain working things behind closed doors. Hades is—as you know—in charge of the acheron. And as the one who has the other olympians immortality, has power over the olympians.
Zeus-he/her/they. has a more general control. He's the representative, though he's less in charge then he thinks. If something doesn't go to any of the others it goes to him. He gets the nonry for his immortwlity in many ways, legal and illegal. His hand is in many things, as opposed to the narrow specialties of the others. Which is the reason he's sort of in charge. Everybody else would try to empower their own part and likely overpower others, zeus's interest lies in a more balanced empowerment. The other olympians having power is whwt keeps him in power. Though this of course is still in the favor of him not the lower classes. He thinks he's the greatest thing to ever happen and that he can do anything and not face consequences because usually he can. Absolute fucking bastard. The man at the head of the table, at least he thinks.
Poseidon-he/him. controls water distribution and related aquatic businesses for the entire city. He does this through various mechanical systems—most notably Pegasus, Cyclops, and Triton—and had a hand in the creation and eventually rebuilding of the acheron. He gets the money for his immortality through his industries and selling water. Poseidon had never publicly shown himself as poseidon, his reputation and image as a person is very different then his actual self. After all, people imagine the grand Olympian overlord of water as a fittingly powerful man. Poseidon... isn't. He is a lanky thin coward of a man who is always wet somehow despite there bot really being any water in the city. He likes model boats and horses and is deeply afraid of many things, especially social interaction. He seems absolutely pathetic and incompetent in person, but he has to have done something well to get here.
Hermes-agender, will accept any pronoun. Hermes has alot of jobs. He's in charge of general messaging—personally overseeing over all messaging websites and physical packages—as well as acting as the personal messenger for the olympians and running/being the voice of the news, He oversees travel throughout the city, keeping track and eye on all forms and routes of transport, Overlooks businesses commerce and transaction, And he's the one who delivers brains to the acheron. Less publicly he's at the head of theives, this being a more personal occupation. He's well invested in such things and keeps watfh over them as well, often stealing himself for fun or manipulating interactions of them. Among theives its well known that he's at head. He also has one more secret role assigned to him by hades: watching over the other olympians and making sure they stay in line. He's a bit different from the others since he didn't buy his immortality, but instead made a deal with Hades. If you wonder how one man does all this that's fair enough. Many do. The answer is that hermes mind is integrated with the Cadecus: a system/machine/program that is connected to/does all these things. The cadecus is part of him and he is part of the cadecus, like an extention of his mind. Such forth he is seeing through the cameras and thinking all the processes. Due to all this there is barely anything hermes doesn't know, but your unlikely to get any straight information from him. Hermes is incredibly tricky, clever, and deceptive. He will almost never actually lie but mislead and weave the truth in distractions, deceit, and careful words. He also has the ability to shapeshift and turn invisible. Despite how important he is, he is usually overlooked as attention goes to the others. A very tricky man, though sometimes you can get something from him if you play the game well.
Hera-zeus's wife. She assists him in some of his work, mostly interpersonal affairs. She's also quite the socialite. She might not be quite as bad as Zeus but she's ruthless when need be. Even though she shouldn't, she does love Zeus. Who chests on her again and again and again. She doesn't want to love him, but she does. Zeus pays for her immortality. She's very elegant and enjoys fancy things. She's cruel in her ways but more smartly so. And if your in the right place, one can get in her favors.
Demeter-??. Eyell admit eye don't have any good ideas for demeter. So currently instead of being a full blown olympian demeter is a sentient system (alot of systems) cataloging every plant person and animal currently wnd once in the city and processing food transportation and distribution. The only plade can find informstion on the foliage and flora that onfe wws here. They also have some seeds deep inside, a few of just about every plant. A deep secret known by very few and forgotten by more.
Aphrodite-she/her, semifluid based on attraction. Deceptively beautiful. Aphrodite is a master of manipulating emotions. She knows how to utilize a person's feelings, a man's lust. She is often mistaken as being delicate, dainty, and clueless. Which works in her favor. No, aphrodite can handle herself. Beautiful and deadly. She heads a personal crime syndicate of hers. She's actually disgusted by the behavior she uses which is much of why she doesn't regret her actions. She's not anti sex or anything, she beleives it to be the highest form of connection with those who do love each other. Which is part of why she hates it so much when used against someone, forced, or treated casually. There's nothing she hates more then a man who forces himself on, objectifies, or beleives he's owed a woman/sex (or any gender in either role but let's be real its usually men on women) which is exactly what she knows how to capitalise on. And then once she's hooked a man, she kills him. Takes his money or whatever else she needs. "Dirty dudes must die" as they say. She gets her money for immortality through this, her crime syndicate, and supported by her wife: Ares. A beautiful rose with poisonous thorns, if you're to grab it.
Athena-she/they. Sisters with Ares, whom she shares her duties of war with. Shes in charge of the analytical/strategic parts of war along with calculations and supplies. She greatly respects a good strategist, but will not hold a loss. You win against her and she'll work against you till you fall. Athena is also the one who creates and upholds the laws of the city along with doing much of the nessisary math. She gets her money for immortality via payments of the legal system criminals and criminal justice as well as being payed by other olympians to overlook their legalities. She is very strict about rules aside from her payed exceptions, something she doesn't like precisely but views as nessisary for her to continue operations. The only thing she fears is death. Shes incredibly strategic and almost entirely emotionless. She acts with nothing but cold calculation. This allows her to act purely logically. She's also double the height of an average person, very large. The ultimate emotionless strategist.
Ares-she/her. Sisters with Athena, whom she shares her duties of war with. Ares in charge of the actual battle of war. Shes the one who trains the troops and does the fighting. Shes also the one who—usually forcefully—upholds the laws created by her sister and leads the police. She also owns several fight clubs, the most major being one called the collesseum thwy she runs under the moniker "mars." She gets the money for her immortality via payments from the legal system criminals and beating people in and stealing their money. As well as being payed to overlook the legalities of fellow olympians and payments from her fight clubs. Shes very enthusiastic about fighting and battle and loves to fight and not always entirely thoughtful. She adores the art of battle. She highly respects singular people who are great warriors and beat her and people who can beat her personally in combat but when it comrs to battles in whole she can be a sore loser. Despite how scary she is, she can be very sweet if she really cares about you. She's passionate nd genuine over all her emotions, a less seen side usually only seen by aphrodite. She's also very short, which is funny. An animated immortal with an eagerness for battle.
Apollo-he/him, trans. The cities biggest media luminary. The ultimate idol, practically the cities only star. He's the only olympian basically everybody likes. There's no sunlight in the city, most of it is underground and even above ground the sky is clouded with smoke. So, apollo brings "the sun". He shines with lights and controls all the light in the city. Of course, it's all a show. He doesn't have the sun, there is no sub in the city. But he's convinced many. He has many shows and performances and also enjoys hosting some good ol gameshows of death, kanagawa style. He gets his money through, well. People would pay tens of thousands just to see him. He loves preforming and being the center of attention, something thst has grown increasingly ad he's become what he is. Obsessed with the stage and perfection. He's got—ironically—quite the God complex. Believing himself more important then anyone else. He has alot of more secret business too and an interest in medicine, especially cosmetic modification. He's a terrible person, but he knows how to play the media like a wooden lyre painted gold. The perfect performer on his shining stage.
Artemis-she/her. Apollos twin sister. She's never been a fan of the spotlight or being seen at all, she takes to the darkness. She isn't really a full Olympian like the rest, she's only immortal because apollo pays and really only an Olympian because she's included with him. Nonetheless, she has her role. She's the huntress. She creeps in darkness with her hunters taking down all sorts of people and monsters swiftly. Anywhere in shadow is her hunting ground, you're not safe. She takes care of more delicate, specialized, high priority, or difficult subjects and criminals that ares can't just go raid down herself. Along with taking payment to kill others. She's not really a fan of the olympians, and doesn't like associating with her. Shes definitely the most normal of the olympians. Not even the olympians, side from her brother, rewlly see her. A secretive sort with a silver shotgun.
Hephaestus-he/it. In charge of factories and industry. He runs all the factories in the city, save from some specific ones owned by other olympians. He keeps up production and invention. This is how he gets his money to keep being immortal. He's not good at nor does he really care about people. He stays invested in his work. He doesn't mind anything that doesn't interfere with his work, don't mess with him he won't mess with you. He's generally on the outside of any Olympian affairs, he doesn't include himself and they don't include him which he's just fine with. Spends all his time in hid workshop. He's simple enough. A mechanical craftsman who cares wbout creation over connection.
Dionysus-he/her, genserfluid. A hedonistic sort. In the city there isn't much one has for pleasure, which is where dionysus comes in. The lord of vices, who offers feelings at a fee. He has lots of clubs and casinos and parties and such, places he calls "edens". He sells drugs and alcohol. You can find just about anything in these Edens, none of it is really good for you but hey people are desperate. Many will save up money and spend it all in an eden to die there. Thats how he makes the money for his immortality. Many say it's the only place you can find happiness in the city. He dresses in an inbetween of Greek overlord and club. Very flashy. He indulges in enjoyment, pleasure. Offering false paradise to a distopia.
(Ask me questions if you got any eye love questions)
<ooc: wow that's really thought out! amazing! i want to add my personal headcanon that Dionysus has all his limbs as different golden prosthetics and she has a weird accent no one can surely say where from. he's also good at impressions and makes drag shows and cabaret dances and stand-up shows at her Edens. sorry i just love Dionysus and i'm a Dionysus devotee irl so yeah. i also have a headcanon that Eros was originally a dating app set up by Aphrodite and after it became the most popular dating app in The City, Eros became also a name for the person, who manages the app. then that person started to open up couples therapies and then set up a Valentine's day as mostly a promotional thing but also in the honour of their lover Valentine who tragically died. and Eros!Marius then decided to make a tradition of pissing off Aphrodite by bringing low-level girls to the role of Psyche that he set up to see if they can survive the Olympian's life and study how it can affect average or below average people. would love to know your thoughts on my headcanons as well if you want to share any!>
