Description: Poseidon, although one of the older Gods, has a fairly young face. Throughout his stress-free years, aging has been kept away from his body. His heritage stems from Europe, and while he is white, many people refer to him as having Latin or Hispanic ancestors. His facial structure is sharp and defined, and his skin tans readily - features that onlookers quickly classify as Latin. Poseidon has dark hair which he often leaves untamed and on the longer side. He has chocolate eyes that match his hair, which often have an intense look to them. Poseidon stands at the height of 6'1 with a muscular body and minimal chest hair. Throughout his active years, Poseidon has managed to keep up a very athletic and attractive build.

Personality: While Poseidon has a large friend base, he's not particularly close with any. Usually easy-going and fun, Poseidon has the potential to explode at the drop of a pin. Many of his friends are vary of becoming too close and telling too many secrets, because Poseidon has been known to stoop to any and all levels to get revenge. For the most part, Poseidon is laid-back and spontaneous. He hates planning, and loves when outings pop up just before the night begins.

When it comes to close friends, he will often do whatever to help them out in sticky situations. He'll have no trouble waking up in the middle of the night to go bail out a friend, and when in a good mood Poseidon is extremely reliable. Of course, if someone crosses Poseidon, his temper easily flares and disaster will strike. He will do whatever he deems necessary to punish and re-pay traitors and those who have angered him. People who come through and keep their word are highly rewarded by Poseidon. Material objects have never been a big thing to him, and he'll gladly give the shirt off his back if someone he trusts mentions they like it. Of course, if his friends pay more attention to someone else, Poseidon becomes very childish and sour.

As for treating people on a whole, Poseidon is a fairly good person. He keeps his word, usually keeps secrets, and helps out wherever he can. If Poseidon feels he has been shorthanded or betrayed, the friendship and good spirits are over for good. Second chances are not a concept Poseidon believes in. He trusts character, and does not believe people can change.

Of course, when it comes to women, Poseidon has a whole different outlook. He, unfortunately, has become one of the many men who believe women are lower than him, simply because he is a man. Having never been faithfully married, Poseidon sees women simply as conquests. He is easily attracted, and his attraction often becomes a consuming burning desire. Poseidon often stops at nothing to receive an attractive woman's attention and love. Having many love-affairs and children over the year, sex is not something special to Poseidon. It is simply fun and extremely fun. About 80% of Poseidon's life is centered around getting women into bed. Like his brother Zeus, Poseidon has always used his manly good looks to assist him in this, and if that fails - he has been known to forcefully take a woman.

Jealousy is an emotion that runs high in Poseidon. He craves being the centre of attention, and loathes other men who are of equal appearance to him (of course, no one can be better looking in his mind). Poseidon often picks out flaws in everyone to make himself appear better. He is often possessive and violent, but will tirelessly defend the honour of those who seek his help.

For years Poseidon has been obsessed with sea-food. He eats it whenever and wherever he can. For some odd reason, he dislikes others eating it, and gets a strange feeling they're stealing from him. He's always chalked it up to his love of it, and assumed it must be because of they eat it - he can't.

Myth: Poseidon was the fifth child of Rhea and Cornus, eldest only to Zeus. Like his siblings, Poseidon was swallowed by his father, and then later saved by his mother. When he assisted in taking over Cornus, Poseidon drew lots with his brothers and was awarded with power over the seas, while his brothers were awarded the Sky and Underworld. Poseidon was ruler of many towns and cities. Famously, he lost his city of Athens to Athena, and after a childish outburst of flooding the city, he and Athena teamed up to co-rule the city. At one point, when Poseidon disobeyed and upset Zeus, he was sent to serve King Laomedon of Troy. The King promised great things to him if he built them a huge walls around the city. The King never kept his word, and an enraged Poseidon sent a sea-monster after Troy before the Trojan War, but it was killed by Perseus.

While his temper and revenge are something that earned Poseidon the title of being a dangerous and turbulent God, he is most notorious for being a lover. The most famous story is his conquest of Demeter. In an effort to avoid Poseidon, she changed herself into a mare. Quickly seeing through this, Poseidon changed into a stallion and raped her, producing their offspring, a talking-horse named Arion. While having Amphitrite as his consort, Poseidon had over 50 children with over 20 different females. His children were not always human, and neither were his love affairs. Poseidon even sired the winged horse Pegasus with Medusa.

For the most part, Poseidon lived under the sea in his giant castle with his creatures and chariots. To his children he was very loyal, and assisted them whenever possible. He has never forgiven Odysseus for inflicting pain and hardship for his son. Odysseus was punished though, and Poseidon does not make an effort to continually punish and taunt him.

When content, Poseidon would often create islands and tropical paradises. He was known to shape-shift, and occasionally gave others the power to do
so.

War: As more and more mortals stopped believing in him, Poseidon became enraged and his temper went off the charts. Dangerous waters were not the only thing that caused damage to countless mortals. Poseidon caused devastating earthquakes all over the world, doing whatever he could to terrify and punish mortals. He turned from his brothers who would only lecture him, and his sex drive was at it's peak. Becoming crueler and darker with each passing day, Poseidon longed for fame and worship.

Poseidon was fed up with being overlooked and forgotten. Everything everywhere was about his brothers Zeus and Hades, while Poseidon was put on the back burner. Zeus was good while Hades was bad, and where did that leave Poseidon? Even he didn't know. When it was discovered there was another path, a darker and path away from his brother, Poseidon quickly chose to follow that one. During the Coup, Poseidon had horses trample armies, the seas were always dangerous, and he did whatever he could to strike fear across the world. While Poseidon watched his brothers taken down, he began to hesitate and wonder if he was doing the right thing. For this, he was punished and enslaved with the whole lot of Olympians. While angry, Poseidon realized it was his own foolishness, and has since been loyal to Cronus.

Mortal: Born to Derek and Michelle Marshall, Dylan grew up on the rougher side of Toronto. His parents were not poor, but they definitely were not rich. He went to public school, and was never the smartest kid in class. He often grew bored and day-dreamed about the ocean and all it's magnificent creatures. Whenever a school project was approaching, he'd always pick a topic relating to the ocean, and his best marks came from these presentations. When he was fourteen, his best friend was Jason Levin. They were an odd match, Dylan with his good looks, and Jason an overweight and nerdy boy. Jason came from an extremely rich family, and for a March Break trip, they invited Dylan along to Mexico. Instantly Dylan fell in love, and for two years he struggled through school and his desire to return. When he turned 16, Dylan dropped out of school and moved to Mexico, much to the horror of his parents. What was an attractive Canadian young man going to do in Mexico?

Quickly learning and picking up Spanish, Dylan now lived in a shack in Mexico City. He worked on a catamaran in Cancun, and met new tourists daily. For seven years he loved his job, and never complained. When he was 23, Dylan longer for something harder and new. Pairing up with Juan Ramos, the two of them opened an aquarium in the Mayan Rivera. At the beginning it was simply a fenced off part of the ocean, but with it's cheap pricing, it quickly grew. They offered daily dolphin swims, and eventually they were able to offer all sorts of animals and it turned into an aquatic zoo. Unfortunately, Juan became involved with a Mexican gang, and gambled away his ownership when Dylan was 30. Soon finding out Dylan's heritage, the gang offered him death or to return to Canada. Not ready to die, Dylan took his money and returned to Canada. Having no ties to anyone, Dylan soon began to loathe Toronto, and looked for chances elsewhere daily.

His chance came in Torrmelinos, Spain, where he moved and began working with a small cruise line. The waters were nothing like Mexico, but they were definitely better than Canada. He worked with that cruise line for three years, until he was 35, until it went out of business. A few coworkers were offered a job on a ferry that would take tourists to Greece. Dylan joined them for seven months, but hated every day of it. At that time he decided to just open up a fish store with the little savings he had left. Currently, he owns "Fish for Every Occasion", which is housed is Monastiraki and currently has the largest variety of fish in all of Athens. It has undergone two renovations, and has actually become a fairly large and successful store - much to Dylan's surprise and happiness.

Throughout all of this, Dylan has been in and out of relationships and love affairs. He has suspected that he might be the father of some children in Mexico, but has never been responsible enough to be a real father. The longest faithful relationship Dylan ever had was when he was 19 to a Mexican woman of 31. Their age difference was huge, but her sex drive was at it's peak and Dylan was in puppy love. The number one way to speak to him is through sex.
