Odysseus is a legendary hero from Greek myth, a major character in The Iliad, and the protagonist of the Odyssey. He is characterized over and over as clever, charismatic, and canny. He also just makes so, so many poor choices. He is, what we may call in modern parlance "high int/low wis". Which is ironic, because he is a chosen champion of wise Athena. He is 1/8th divine via probably being Hermes's great great grandson. Not enough for demi-godhood, but, y'know, it ain't nuthin. As the dumbest genius of classic Helenic canon, he's both an unrelenting wife guy, and a trifling slut. The man contains multitudes.

Per Hades 2, he has been dead for a while, and also Doom Itself has a big gay crush on him as The One That Got Away.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities Heroically strong and tough, but not much on "powers" without a god interceding.
Permissions honestly I am generally down to clown with violence, shenanigans, and shipping. let's be in touch if there are any questions!
Sensing 1/8th divine via Hermes
Chosen of Athena
Hated by Poseidon
Pursued by Doom Incarnate, maybe romantically?
Dead and working for Hecate
Memory Registry TBD
Positive Significant • STARTER MEMORY: Book 2 of the Iliad, mustering the troops. Everything's looking up!
Positive Trivial • Memories with a minor impact that were positive to your character.
Neutral Significant • Memories with a large impact that were either not emotionally charged or were equally positive and negative.
Neutral Trivial • Memories with a minor impact that were either not emotionally charged or were equally positive and negative.
Negative Significant • Memories with a large impact on your character that were negative at the time. Again, this is how the character feels at the time the memory actually happened, not necessarily how they feel when getting it back.
Negative Trivial • Memories with a minor impact that were negative to your character.
Skills • Major skills or significant abilities, e.g. if someone is a GOOD cook, they will have the skill 'cooking' while if someone just knows the basics of making something edible, they probably don't need a specific skill for it. You can also use it for unusual situations or negative abilities. For example, in Aather, Mikado from Durarara! made 'holding a pen' into a skill, since that character canonically stabs someone with a pen and it would be funny. Likewise, if a character goes blind in canon, 'blindness' could be considered a skill here (just... a negative skill).
