Personality
Kyriakos is a complex and multi-dimensional boy, shaped by his divine lineage, his destiny, and his relationships. His personality is a blend of arrogance, vulnerability, passion, and self-destructive tendencies.
At his core, Kyriakos is a deeply conflicted character. He is a man destined for greatness, but also burdened by the weight of that greatness. He is driven by the desire to be remembered, to achieve immortality through his deeds on the battlefield. There is a sense of inevitability to his nature—he is both the hero and the tragic figure, and he knows it. He is acutely aware of his own power and beauty, often reveling in the awe he inspires in others, but at the same time, he is haunted by the knowledge that his fate is sealed. His pride in his abilities and his status as the greatest warrior of his age can sometimes border on arrogance. Kyriakos knows his worth and is willing to demand respect, not just from his peers but from the gods themselves. His confidence is intoxicating, and he is often seen as an unstoppable force, both admired and feared by those around him.
However, beneath this exterior of godlike confidence, Kyriakos is also vulnerable, especially when it comes to his feelings for others.
Kyriakos also has a deep sense of honor, which both guides and traps him. His pride and his belief in his own superiority often lead him to make decisions that are both noble and foolish. When he feels slighted or wronged he can be stubborn to the point of recklessness. His sense of justice, though, is skewed by his own desires and emotions, and he often struggles to balance what is right with what he wants. This inner conflict often makes him appear petulant or rash, but at the same time, it makes him relatable. His struggles with duty, identity, and love are universal, despite his extraordinary circumstances.
Kyriakos’ anger is another key aspect of his personality. His rage is legendary, both on and off the battlefield. He has the capacity for devastating wrath, and when he is wronged or hurt, he can unleash a fury that is terrifying. This rage, though, is often tied to his emotions—his need to prove himself, his deep insecurities, and his fear of being forgotten. His anger is not just a response to others; it is a reflection of his internal turmoil and his ongoing battle with his destiny. He fears that his greatness will not be enough to fulfill the prophecy of his life, and in his anger, he seeks to control his fate, often pushing people away in the process.
Appearance
Kyriakos is depicted as a physically striking yet unassuming figure, his appearance often overshadowed by the towering presence of the gods. He has an inherent softness to his features, a contrast to the raw, heroic beauty of heroes like Heracles or Jason. Kyriakos stands at a modest height, not as tall or broad as the great warrior, but his frame is lean and athletic, honed through years of physical training and a warrior’s life.
His face is angular, with high cheekbones and a jawline that’s defined, but not harsh. His skin is fair, with a natural warmth to it, often described as glowing under the sunlight, a youthful, almost delicate complexion that belies his strength and resilience. His eyes, a striking shade of brown or hazel, are one of his most expressive features. They hold an intelligence and warmth that shines through, reflecting both his kindness and the depth of his emotions, but there's also a quiet sadness to them, a gentleness that contrasts with the violence of the world around him.
Kyriakos’ hair is dark, either a deep brown or black, and it falls in loose, untamed waves, often brushed back away from his forehead, though it sometimes escapes in small curls around his face. His hair is kept a little longer than practical, adding to his unassuming, less imposing presence.
While not as muscular as some young men, Kyriakos’s body is still well-built and capable, with defined arms and legs that speak to his physical strength, shaped more by agility and endurance than raw power. His movements are graceful, often described as fluid, with a certain ease and naturalness that comes from someone used to moving both on the battlefield and in daily life.
There’s an inherent warmth to Kyriakos’s physicality, one that draws others to him. His smile is gentle, sometimes shy, but when it’s directed at someone, it has the power to soften the hardest of hearts. The contrast between his soft, open expression and his deadly skills on the battlefield makes him a complex and captivating figure, one who is both deeply human and yet capable of extraordinary feats of courage.
His physical presence reflects the duality of his character—beneath the outward softness lies a steadfast warrior, a man capable of great sacrifice and immense loyalty. His beauty is not the overwhelming, godlike quality of others, but a quiet, compelling kind of strength that comes from within.
Voice & Accent*
Given his divine heritage and the culture he’s a part of, Kyriakos has an accent rooted in Ancient Greek. His speech has a slightly clipped cadence, emphasizing his nobility and royal upbringing, with clear, deliberate enunciation. The tone reflects both the warrior's fierceness and the intellectual's sharpness—whether giving a battle command or speaking in the quiet moments of reflection with a lover.
In terms of accent, it is sophisticated, royal, and deliberate—like a leader's speech that resonates with the power and expectations of his position. You can imagine it being somewhere between a classic British or upper-class English accent, reflecting a noble, almost ancient sensibility. This would allow his words to carry weight, whether he's addressing soldiers in battle or speaking intimately. His voice is undeniably captivating, drawing people in, commanding their attention with every word.
