Top 10 Characters From Greek Myths That Should Be In Hades Game

1. Apollo 🎼

Just imagine the extra drama with Achilles and Patroclus and the Trojan War, Zag could even be mad at him for indirectly (or not so indirectly in Achilles’ case rip) causing their deaths

And Apollo trained Orpheus in music (which is mentioned in the game) so there’s that connection as well, Apollo might want to check up on him (like how Hermes wanted to check up on Eurydice in some of the game dialogue)

Also the sibling banter between Apollo and Artemis would be amazing (it’s a crime artemis doesn’t so much as mention Apollo in the game) just imagine that banter in the trial of the gods or with duo boons! WE NEED THE TWINS

And in Greek myths Apollo is regarded as the most beautiful male god and supergiant would make his design so sexy, esp if they lean into his effeminacy

Apollo could have some kick ass musical or plague/healing boons (maybe they lower defenses?), and his and Artemis’ duo boon would be the ultimate archery boon

2. Ariadne 🧵

She is brought up in the game a few times and we even have a portrait of her! She needs to be included not only bc she Asterius’ half sister and Theseus’ ex, but Dionysus is also her husband. There’s so much potential to be had

There’s the perfect opportunity for Dionysus to have some dialogue abt her when Zag is holding Ariadne’s string (like there is with Theseus in the game). Even if it is just him going !!! That’s my wife’s string :D!

Also I feel Ardiane would still feel guilty over what happened to her brother so knowing he’s in Elysium and not suffering in Tartarus would be smth Zag could tell her and help alliviate her worries

It could also open a door to being able to give nectar to Asterius, and by helping him and his sister communicate somewhat and know they’re both ok could be like his favor to unlock the rest of his hearts and such

Also it would be hilarious if Ariadne told off Theseus (just once, pls)

3. Hecate 🔮

She is a powerful Chthonic goddess and in the myths she helped Demeter search for Persephone so she absolutely should be included in the storyline

Maybe she realizes who Zag is looking for and strives to help him out

As the goddess of magic I think her boons would be really cool— or any other item she could possibly give since she isn’t an Olympian

Also her sacred animals are dogs so she would get along with Cerberus, being one of the few people he allows to give him pets

Zag sees her petting his dog and immediately likes her, even if she’s a scary witch lady (esp given Zag’s taste in romantic partners lol)

4. Icarus 🕊

Since Daedalus is mentioned with his hammers, I think it would be interesting if a chamber that was Daedelus’ workshop was added in and we could meet Icarus there

Maybe Icarus could give Zag some useful items he found lying around the workshop

And Zag might be thrown off because Icarus is the first child looking shade he’s seen (Icarus is a hubristic 13 year old and I will not take any arguments)

It could also bring up the whole everyone dies even if it’s sooner than expected and might unnerve Zag a bit and lead to inner turmoil, possibly with mr death himself

And exploring the myth would be interesting since Icarus was also trapped in the same labyrinth as Asterius, so maybe he’d feel sympathy or ire for the bull of Minos

5. Hestia 🔥

She had a glock, enough said

Also as the goddess of hearth and home she’d want to help Zag (perhaps with some rad fire boons)

She could tell him more about his family and what life is like on Olympus you can’t tell me she wouldn’t have the Tea

And maybe try to help him repair the rift between the Olympians and the Cthonic bc they’re family too, they’re all a family

Bc Hestia best goddess

6. Callisto 🐻

Artemis talks about her A Lot in the game and I think it would be really cute if we’re were able to talk to her (and get an awesome character design)

Also Callisto can turn into a bear which is fucking sick

I love how with Callisto hades game said fuck the myths and Zeus in particular and just made her be able to turn into a bear, legends only

7. Hephaestus 🛠

He knows what it’s like to be an outcast (given that Hera yeeted him off Olympus for being ugly) and would probably sympathize with Zag

As well as give him some sick boons, maybe mechanical power ups or even armor (Hestia already got the fire aspect covered lol)

He could also bring in the age old drama of Aphrodite cheating on him with Ares (and many others lol) since Aphrodite mentions her husband who’s “busy” in the game

Also I get the sense that like Artemis, Hephaestus feels out of place and awkward on Olympus

Zag would be such a good friend to the lonely boy who’s only friends are robots and would relate to issues with parents treating them badly in the past

8. Nemesis ⚖️

I WANNA SEE DAUGHTERS OF NYX OKAY

Nemesis is mentioned in the game with weapon aspects and items in Charon’s shop, and she’s one of the more famous Chthonic gods given how often she pops up in the myths

Also being the goddess of revenge she might aid Zag in getting back at his dad and leaving bc of the shitty way he treated him

Maybe in exchange for a blood payment (bc she’s hardcore like that) she gives him power ups, kinda like with the blood for money exchange item in the well of Charon

9. Hera 🦚

Where’s the queen? Unlike Apollo (who has 5 million domains) and Hephaestus (who is constantly building things in his forge) there is no reason for Hera to be too busy to help, especially since most of her Olympian family is (including her hubby)

Just imagine the drama between her and her husband and his bastard children, it would be amazing. The trial of the gods and duo boon conversations would be full of salt

If u can’t already tell most my reasons for including more characters is the extra drama they’d bring lol

Also she might be suspicious Zag could somehow be one of Zeus’ (bc Poseidon made an ill thought out joke abt how Zag’s so cheerful it’s a wonder how he’s Hades’ kid, maybe he’s Zeus’) so she goes to check him out

She’s paranoid but not without reason lol

10. Eros 💘

Whether he’s a primordial god born from Chaos or Aphrodite’s son, he should be included in the game. Not neccesarily to help Zag, but to cause problems on purpose and fuck with people’s lives like he usually does in the myths lmao

He’s the leader of the Erotes which gives him control over all kinds of love (and in the game Hades is pretty direct abt how the love paths represent different types of love from Greek understanding)

I can see Eros meddling in Zag’s— or even Hades’s— love life just for the hell of it

I also heard that Eros and Thanatos often get mistaken for each other in the myths bc they’re both ethereally beautiful and have wings, which could be an interesting topic to bring up

Even if just to see Than annoyed that he’s being compared to the god who flies around butt naked and is an overall nuisance

And that concludes my Top 10 list! If you have any suggestions or ideas abt characters that should be in the Hades Game pls leave ur thoughts down below in the comments <3

Also if you see any awesome designs of characters from Greek mythology in the Hades Game style pls link me 👀

Hawks’ Bird Traits Headcanons

Physical Traits

-The wings ofc

-Actually his wings were originally a light brown when he was a kid but once he hit puberty (or started T if u subscribe to the trans Hawks agenda like I do) then they started turning red, from light brown to copper to scarlet. The reason they changed to a brighter color was bc male birds wings are actually more colorful to attract mates and get sum fuck

-Tail feathers, they act as an airplane’s rudder would and help him with steering and balance, but the hpsc doesn’t like the tail feathers because it disrupts the angelic image they’re trying to sell, so they have Hawks pluck them or hide them in his pants (which is why they’re so baggy)

-Talons on his fingers and toes, he clips them regularly in case he has to take his gloves off so people will just think he’s wearing black nail polish, the hpsc has him hide them because they want him to look angelic, not predatory

-As well as the talons, he also has patches of scales on his feet like an actual birds, (don’t ask him why they’re not on his hands he couldn’t tell you, birds aren’t supposed to have hands in the first place but here he is) he keeps ankle high boots and socks on whenever he’s not alone to hide this

-He has extremely good eyesight, he can see 8-10 times better than the average person, he could see a mouse scurrying on the ground from 100 feet away

-The black markings around his eyes isn’t eyeliner, it acts like eye black on baseball players and helps him see against the glare of the sun

-He three eyelids, which means he can go for an unnervingly long time without blinking

-His third eyelid is a special one and is what’s known as the “nictitating membrane” its translucent and goes over his whole eyelid and protects it, it allows hawks to keep his eyes open when he’s flying at fast speeds on the occasion he loses his visor, and luckily since he’s so high up people won’t be able to see how milky his eyes have gone, it only really comes out on ground level when he’s either relaxed, half asleep, or wasted

-He has sharp canines/teeth as a way to make up for his lack of a beak so he can easily eat the tougher meats his inner raptor craves, but the HPSC does not like this because it makes him look predatory, so they did dental surgery on them

-High pitched noises drive his bird brain crazy, like metal on metal or nails on chalkboard, and those type of sounds are way worse for him than the average person, he’ll either want to fly away or stop the source of that sound

-He has oil/preen glands on his lower back (like right where back dimples would be) and he can use it to clean his feathers, waterproof them, and keep them in tip top condition! He has designated “preening” time but with how busy he is... a lot of the time he skips it rip

-He molts twice a year, because even though he’s constantly using up feathers doing hero work, he has little baby ones closest to his back which don’t detach and always stay on, he molts those along with the feathers he hasn’t used up and he Hates when he molts because his back gets so fucking itchy, and also because he can’t do hero work when he’s molting

-He has a very fast bird metabolism, which is why he’s always stuffing his face with food, flying takes a lot of energy so he constantly has to “refuel”

-He has hollow bones and despite common misconception, that doesn’t make them lighter, they’re actually hollow so they can hold extra air/oxygen to help with flying which takes up A Lot of breath

-He gets cold easily because the rest of his body isn’t covered in feathers like an actual bird would be, that’s why he wears a fluffy coat and an insulated flight suit under that to trap the heat in, also it gets very chilly high in the sky

-He will actually grow a “winter plumage” during that time of year, and his feathers with get very fluffy and poofy to try and insulate his body. When he’s cold he’ll turn into a little puff ball and people tease him mercilessly for this

Behavioral Traits

-Stress grip, if he gets stressed/highly stimulated, and if something moves within his line of sight, he’ll grab it. But the problem is he physically cannot let go until he’s calmed down. The hpsc tried to train this out of him but when realizing that wouldn’t work, no matter how hard they tried or how hard they pushed Hawks, they instead trained him to grab himself or inanimate objects instead, but absolutely do Not grab people. And Hawks has gotten pretty good about redirecting his raptor grip, but in the few situations when he doesn’t manage to... it’s a Yikes

-He really likes shiny things. When he first met Dabi he had to resist staring at the way his staples glimmered, Dabi thought Hawks was staring at him because he was analyzing him or smth but nope, it was bc bird brain go brrr

-Because of his love for shiny things, Hawks has a “cool rocks” hoard, and if he gives you one of those rocks that means you have unlocked the “hawks will now die for you” level of friendship

-Hawks Loves head pats or having people card their hands through his hair. Birds can’t reach the top of their head so other birds do it for them (allopreening) and it’s considered a social activity and one of acceptance, so Hawks will unconsciously pat or ruffle the hair of people he’s fond of, like Tokoyami for example

-He’s very carnivorous and because of that he will Tear into meat, especially the raw kind, but he never eats raw meat in public because that’s seen as “gross”

-But he can also eat other foods, and some he even has different reactions to, like with peppers. Peppers don’t taste hot or spicy to him because birds don’t have receptors for it, they taste sweet and he loves the way the juices taste. He also finds it amusing when people look at him in horror when he chomps down on a carolina reaper like it’s nothing

-To impress people he’ll do crazy dives. It stems from bird courtship rituals, but Hawks never really had anyone that special to him for most of his life, so he uses it as a trick to wow people instead and it comes in handy for heroism

-Hawks will cock his head to the side when he’s perplexed or thinking especially hard, little head tilts ;-;

-He’ll also bob his head along to music he’s enjoying, his coworkers find this hilarious and they’ll rate music on whether or not it gets Hawks to “bob” and they call it a bob instead of a bop lol

-Perches, he’ll perch on the arm of the sofa instead of sitting on the actual cushions like a normal person and he always likes to have the high ground so he’ll sit on top of tables or counter tops, he’s even gone so far as to perch himself on a lamppost once or twice, like a gargoyle

-Blindfolds calm him down because to his bird brain, being unable to see makes him think he’s safe. Or at least they used to, the hpsc used blindfolds on him when he started training as a kid, and while they might calm him down after a training session, using that technique during one would freak him out because he’s being asked To Do Something when he can’t see and birds rely heavily on their sight to function. They used that “technique” on him so much that now if someone put a blindfold on him he’d panic because of that childhood trauma tm

-He isn’t scared of the dark though, he actually has a habit of sitting in dark rooms for a bit because when he overuses his quirk, he gets migraines bc of that telepathy stuff (I know this isn’t a bird hc but I had to include this)

-He makes bird noises, like coos and chirps when he’s happy, which isn’t a lot (can we get an F in the chat), squawks when he’s startled, and raptor screeches when he’s trying to act scary. The hpsc put him in speech therapy to keep him from making bird noises, and because when he was younger he had trouble speaking and also Trauma from it because his parents treated him like a disturbance, so he’d always try to make as little noise/take up as little space, as possible. Now he’s a great talker, to the point where he won’t shut the fuck up, but when he’s extremely distressed he sometimes can have trouble speaking “actual words”

-Hawks’ feathers often react to his emotions, he can puff up/raise his feathers to make himself look bigger when he feels threatened, or they’ll bristle like pinecones when he’s annoyed, or get all soft and fluffy when he’s around someone he likes/feels safe with

-Because of his adverse reaction to the cold, Hawks loves warm things like heating pads, hot water bottles, Dabi. He loves to sun his wings too and sunbathing is his favorite way to relax (on the rare occasion he has the time to)

-He also really likes blankets, but not just because of the warmth, he has nesting instinct. He will pile a bunch of blankets and pillow and all other kinds of bedding and soft things on top of his bed. Also if there is a certain person he’s missing, articles of their clothing get added to the pile. But this “instinct” only really happens when he’s feeling lonely aka without a home

-Also if he ever had a kid his nesting instinct would go insane trying to make his house/nest “suitable” since that’s the whole purpose of nesting, making a safe place to have babies and raise them

-He is very monogamous because of the whole “raptors mate for life” thing, and because of this he’s very picky and will only actually consider a person as a life partner if he trusts them and loves them unquestionably

-However, the whole “mating for life” thing also means he can be a bit territorial of his partner, wanting to leave marks on the to show that they’re His. Like once someone put a lingering hand on his partner’s arm and he had the unreasonable urge to claw their face off

-But it’s not all bad, as a courting ritual he’ll give gifts (mainly food) to show he is able to provide, which is unfortunate because in my mind, Hawks is a terrible cook. On the plus side, he has lots of cash money that he can spend on expensive restaurants and bakeries

-Basically he’s a bird sugar daddy

Thanks for reading!!
