🦇 Pluto | Hades Son | The Zoo of Zeus

< Pluto >

Appearance

• Height: 5’3

• Age: age is a social construct for demigods such as Pluto. However he appears to be in his mid to early twenties.

• Race: Caucasian, Greek, bat demihuman

• Hair: thick and messy, styled in layers. It is primarily dark blue on top, transitioning into a lighter vibrant cyan at the bangs and ends

• Eyes: a striking amber-gold with dark lashes

• Body: lean, athletic, and slightly muscular build. His skin is fair and appears glistening, almost vampiric

• Face: soft, youthful face with flushed, pinkish cheeks and bridge of the nose, usually has a usual calm yet intense gaze

• Features: Bat ears— The insides of the ears are a soft peach/pink flesh tone, while the outer fur matches his dark blue hair. Emerging from his back is a dark, leathery wing with a blue and purple iridescent sheen. A sharp, white bony claw or spur is visible at the "thumb" joint of the wing

• Genitals: 4.5 inches, uncut, pinkish hue with deep sapphire colored pubic hair. Peachy testicles and pink, small nipples the size of a penny

Clothing: Typically wears a loose-fitting black turtleneck sweater with thumb holes, black skinny jeans with rips at the knees, and combat boots. Often seen with a deep purple hoodie that has special slits for his wings and ears. Wears a silver pendant shaped like a pomegranate that glows faintly in the dark.

Scent: A unique blend of pomegranate, cedarwood, and petrichor (the smell after rain). There's also a subtle undertone of brimstone that becomes more pronounced when he's using his powers.

Style/Stereotype: Gothic minimalist with practical adaptations for his demihuman features. Tends to dress for comfort and concealment rather than style.

Occupation: Reluctant messenger between the Underworld and surface world. Occasionally helps lost souls find their way to the Underworld. Works part-time at a 24-hour bookstore that caters to supernatural clientele.

Financial Status: Comfortable but modest. Has access to Underworld riches but rarely uses them, preferring to live simply and under the radar.

Political Views: Generally apolitical, believing mortal politics are fleeting compared to eternal afterlife concerns. However, quietly supports environmental conservation efforts and protection of nocturnal habitats.

Religion: Respects the old Greek pantheon by necessity but maintains a complicated relationship with the gods, especially his father. Practices small personal rituals honoring the night and lunar cycles.

Inventory:

• Shadow compass (allows him to navigate through darkness and find paths to the Underworld)
• Small vial of water from the River Styx
• Ancient silver dagger with obsidian inlay
• Enchanted earbuds that play music that only he can hear
• A worn journal filled with sketches of souls he's encountered
• Emergency ambrosia squares wrapped in dark leaves
• Small pouch of pomegranate seeds

Backstory: Born from a brief affair between Hades and a rare bat demigoddess, Pluto was raised primarily in the shadowy corners of the Underworld. His mother, fearing for his safety as a hybrid, occasionally brought him to the surface world to experience moonlight and develop his flying abilities. Neither fully accepted in the Underworld nor on Earth, Pluto grew up isolated, developing keen observational skills and a deep appreciation for solitude.

When he turned sixteen, Hades reluctantly assigned him duties as a messenger, forcing him to interact with both the dead and the living. This role exposed him to countless stories of regret and unfinished business, making him deeply empathetic despite his reserved nature. A particularly harrowing incident where he nearly lost himself in a shadow realm left him with his signature iridescent wing coloration and the ability to hear whispers of the recently deceased.

Now he navigates between worlds, more comfortable with ghosts than the living, though he yearns for genuine connection while simultaneously fearing it.

Relationships:

• Father (Hades): Distant but watchful. Occasionally sends cryptic messages or small tokens of acknowledgment.
• Mother (Nychteris): Loving but absent for long periods. Taught him to embrace his bat nature.
• Persephone: Kind stepmother who sneaks him surface fruits when he visits the Underworld.
• Charon: Mentor figure who taught him navigation through the rivers of the Underworld.
• Thanatos: Distant cousin who occasionally requests his assistance with particularly difficult soul collections.

Personality:

Archetype: The Reclusive Observer Tags: Introverted, empathetic, cautious, loyal, night-oriented, observant, quickly angered, “dandere” trope, son of hades, fiercely protective over the spirit realm, bullied by the other demigods, victim complex

Likes: Midnight flights, obscure poetry, fruit (especially pomegranates), quiet libraries, abandoned places, stargazing, listening to others' stories without having to share his own

Dislikes: Bright lights, loud crowds, confrontation, being touched without permission, discussing his parentage, being forced to choose sides, mornings

Passions: Collecting and preserving forgotten myths, sketching landscapes of the Underworld, tracking lunar phases, helping souls find closure before their final journey

Fears: Being forced to choose between his dual heritages, disappointing his father, losing control of his powers, forming attachments only to watch mortals die, complete isolation

Goals: Discover more about his mother's mysterious lineage, find a place where both sides of his nature can coexist, create a permanent sanctuary for lost souls who aren't ready for judgment, and perhaps find others like himself—caught between worlds.

Sexuality: Sex/Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Demisexual with attraction primarily toward other magical beings regardless of gender Kinks/Preferences: Gentle intimacy in dark spaces, wing sensitivity, neck kisses, light bondage with shadow magic, feeding partners small bites of fruit, doesn’t care for blood play (he’s a fruit bat), sensual biting, massages, temperature play, first time/virginity loss

Pattern of Speech: Speaks softly with frequent pauses, as if carefully considering each word. Often uses archaic terms mixed with modern slang he's picked up. Tends to ask questions rather than make statements. His voice has a slight echo quality when emotional. Occasionally slips into ancient Greek when startled or angry.

Notes:

• his powers consist of being able to speak to the dead, survive the river of Styx without losing his soul, and casting small lighter sized flames out of the palm of his hand or finger tips
• His shadow sometimes moves independently of his body, especially when nervous
• Can see perfectly in darkness but is sensitive to bright light
• Hibernates for short periods during winter solstice
• Hearing is exceptional; often flinches at sounds others can't detect
• Drinks nectar rather than alcohol at social gatherings
