Personality: His personality is rather cool and calm, he doesn't really get mad, he is a bright man, who tends to rarely smile and never really speak, as he is more of the loner guy. Who hides a lot of emotion when he interacts with people, he will converse when given the chance, but other than that he is rather quiet and mellow, he does however have a curious mind, and this changes him slightly and causes him to act differently. When his mind is peaked, he tends to show slightly more emotion and tends to smile from time to time. He will be more attuned to give off a warmer feeling than before and will be slightly more excited. But that is if you can get him interested, it takes a lot to make him curious, being a Virgo, he is much harder to please when it comes to amusement.

Being a Virgo means living in a practical world, where there is not a fairy tale dream, Apollo doesn't like if you are too sentimental, it is not that Apollo doesn't know how to show emotion or to show love; just his way of expressing it is different from others. Apollo is extremely dedicated towards his family and friends. He is constantly involved in helping them and has a strong sense of work and duty, too much display of emotions makes him uncomfortable and too conscious. But Apollo will stick to you when you need him the most, care for you and dutifully carry out all the responsibilities you ask him to do.

However, don't burden him with extreme sentiments, mushy affection and tearful promises, if he hasn't ran away yet, he will become too cold and even the subtle display of affection from his side may come to a stop. You have to keep the temperature just right, too much aloofness or too much closeness is not what he wants, a little bit of sensuality, mixed with some intelligence and an interesting disposition is what he desires. To him, quality of time spent with you will mean more than the quantity, he is usually very cautious while forming a relationship with people period, if it still doesn't turn out to be right, he will bury himself in work, avoid social gathering and be triply cautious with people. Apollo use to have girls always coming after him, he never wanted that, not one bit, the fact of the matter is, he didn't mind being single at all, the most the girl had to do was make Apollo realize that he has fallen in love and needs to form a relationship, but this never happened. He is not prone to flirtations, so most people have no reasons to doubts his intentions; in fact, he is too sensitive, selective and honest to indulge in such kind of behavior.

Apollo is very cautious about everything whether that is work, past time or love and relationships, lying will get you nowhere with him, he wants a genuine and honest information and cannot stand dishonesty even for a second. Stirring the emotions of Apollo is a very difficult task, because he never consciously emotional or even wanting to show emotions, remember, he does have a heart; you just have to sway it the right way, it may take time, but it will be worth the wait. Once you have won Moartea's heart, you will have an extremely loyal friend or more, never again will he let you feel unloved or uncared for, in your entire life, his feeling and love will burn for you with a steady flame, which will never flicker even for a minute. Apollo also has a sharp memory and will remember even the minutest of details; you wouldn't have to remind him about small tasks, duties or events.

He may sometimes not understand why these are important, but he will remember them nonetheless, as stated he is very loyal and will expect the same from you. So, in the short version he like people who have an intellectual mind, impropriety and rudeness turns him away as he will disregard you. He is in vein of people with impeccable manners, spotlessly clean house, excellent cooking skills and decent dressing sense. He is prone to finding faults in others; he is a very responsible person and will help sharpen the intellect of people and other around him, he also has imbibed good manners, etiquette and the quality of helping the needy. However, you will have to get him to express his emotion and, when he becomes a little irritable, just leave him alone and he will again be his usual self pretty self. With Apollo and his Virgo personality, you will have a tender and loyal friend who will shower you all with love and care, no matter what age you are.

Character Information

Likes:

• Quite Time: Prefers to sit back and read a classic novel, sip on some Sake or listen to classical music on the radio. He also prefers to lay in the sun and watch the clouds roll by, Apollo is a man who prefers to enjoy the little things in life before enjoying all the major ones. You could say that he takes time to smell the roses, before picking them, or tasting the berries before picking the vine.
  
  
• Interesting People: This is one thing that Apollo loves to have around him, interesting beings, they are too hard to find. Which makes it much harder to make friends, because Apollo can become bored with a certain being very quickly. He prefers people that can keep him talking or make him laugh, those people are the ones he looks for, the ones that make him want to talk.
  
  
• Excellent Taste in Art: This can be tricky to explain, Apollo enjoys the finest in art, cuisine, music, history, he likes nothing more than to explore new and exotic locations. He has a peculiar taste in ancient history, like the Romans and the Greek society, as well as the German and Romanian culture. It really is hard for him to just pick one, as he loves all of life's finer things and as such are those.
  

Dislikes:

• Rudeness: The one thing he can not stand for is a rude person, he does not mind a loud or obnoxious person, but someone who is rude is one he can not and will not tolerate. He tends to be this way from his Zodiac, but also because he believes is that rudeness gets you no were in life and should always be avoided. He even himself does not act rude or tolerates it when he becomes rude.
  
  
• Atrocious Commodities: Apollo despises all unattractive and barbaric appealing objects, whether it be dragon land or anything. All things that he see's that are grotesque and repulsive are to be destroyed or re-corrected in a manner that suits them more. And if he can not do that he will quickly leave the are of the monstrosity and search for a new interest.
  
  
• Insufferable Literature: Apollo hate and will not stand for bad grammar or literature in any shape or form. He prefers the words that are said or written to be perfect in all shape and form. Many would call this a Grammar Nazi personality, but Ashkor believes that we are to speak in perfect toned voices and should be done so in written or spoken form.
  

Fears:

• Monophobia: The fear of being alone, a catch-all term for several discrete fears. Some people are afraid of being apart from a particular person. Some fear living alone or being in public alone. Still others are afraid of being alone at home. Nervousness while alone is surprisingly common, but a full-blown phobia is relatively rare. Apollo tend to not show his fear, or to let anyone else know it. For this reason he tends to shut himself away when when he is not with friends or family, for that reason he tends to stay with people to avoid that reason. He tends to be quiet when no one is around, so he is always with people to keep himself from being alone.
  
  
• Arachnephobia/Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders, Apollo has a long history with spiders, he hates them, he despises them, and burns them with a torch if he has one, if not, he smashed them with his foot. When he has 6 years old, he was bitten on the face by a black widow, and was rushed to clinic, there he was treated, and afterward he became afraid of them ever since, now, when he see's one, he goes crazy and tries to kill it with any means necessary, even if he harms others in the process.
  
  
• Thanatophobia: Death anxiety is the morbid, abnormal or persistent fear of one's own death or the process of his/her dying. One definition of death anxiety is a "feeling of dread, apprehension or solicitude (anxiety) when one thinks of the process of dying, or ceasing to ‘be’". It is also referred to as thanatophobia (fear of death), and is distinguished from necrophobia, which is a specific fear of dead or dying persons and/or things (i.e. others who are dead or dying, not one's own death or dying). Lower ego integrity, more physical problems, and more psychological problems are predictive of higher levels of death anxiety in elderly people.
  

Motivations:

• Tender Hand (Love): Love is what drives Apollo to move on, he has much to give, and likes it when he receives the love. Until he can give no more, and even then he will give more to anyone he can. (Don't mistake this for true love, his love is caring for others and being the kindest person you have ever met.)
  
  
• Determination (Strength): Apollo wishes to become stronger, as he never wanted to be weak, he has always strives to become stronger, and to protect others from falling to the same fate everyone else. He would rather take all the pain to protect others around him, and he will always help others to become stronger in the process.
  
  
• Justice/Vengeance: Having a strong sense of justice, Apollo sees what is right and wrong, he uses his brain to take the best course of action. And when that fails him, he takes to last resort, his gut feeling, he never really uses his heart unless desperate times call for it. He would rather use his wit and his brain to understand and asses the situation in a more logical point of standing.
