Athlim

Athlim is the Greek God of Sport, Fitness, Fair Play, Competition and Triumph. He is the son of Zeus and Hera, and his symbols include the silver torch, the javeline, the leopard and the mountain.

Personality
Athlim is generally a fair-minded God, with a keen sense of honour and a staunch distinction between right and wrong, which tends to overrule his actions. However, he is widely famed to be extremely competitive, confident and very self-assured, but at the same time not arrogant like Ares and Apollo. That being said, he is on good relations with Ares, because both their areas demand competitiveness and physical perfection. Athlim's sense of fair play made him perfect to be the God of Sport.

Athlim is extremely disciplined and authoritative, and is a stickler for the rules, especially when it comes to competitive sports. However, when he encounters a certain amount of unfair play, such as fixing a sport so that the rules favour one side or one individual in the wrong ways, he will show that he does have a dark side. For example, when Apati fed poisonous toxins into his opponent's eyedrops in order to win in a duel, Athlim cursed him so that, when the fight started, he did the exact opposite of what his brain told him to do, resulting in him being crippled for life.

Athlim admitted that his least favourite sport was chariot racing, because it had a vast history of resulting in brutal deaths and injuries that he considered completely unnecessary. However, he and Ares both created this sport because it simulated the required techniques and skills for cavalry warfare and advanced combat. He also admitted that he loved the Olympic Games because it meant the whole world uniting together to compete in the ultimate display of sportsmanship, but he reacted furiously when the spirit of the Games was derided by the use of drugs and one-sided scoring systems. Athlim believed that, though sport was about winning and fair play, it was ultimately about finding the true perfection of a person's character - he felt that, only through playing against each other can humans find their true spirit.

Athlim is exceptionally intelligent and calculative, shown by his incredible ability to create complicated and deeply sophisticated sports, events and activities, and how he calculated who should win and why. Though he violently disapproved of cheating and unfair play, to the point that he would curse those who went too far with such practices, he was willing to accept that they did occasionally win, so long as they regretted it in some way afterwards - he would sometimes ensure that this happened himself. His calculative nature did not make him emotionless, though, and he was extremely impressed with, and willing to acclaim or reward, extreme dedication to a sport, team or situation, or if a person was particularly brilliant at a sport or doing something revolutionary to it. He was rumoured to be judgemental of his children and the accomplishments they made, but in fact he was actually immensely proud of them and offered all of them subtle advice and encouragement so that they perfected their talents.

Athlim also says that he adores how sport has been portrayed in fiction, admitting that he wished he'd be allowed to actually create the sport Quidditch. His favourite films regarding a sport is Moneyball because it revolutionised how sport was observed in a more analytical way, Cool Runnings because it portrayed the idea of ethnic equality among sportsmen.

Appearance
Athlim is extremely handsome and described to be the ultimate Olympic athlete as far as physique - he has the build of a runner, with a muscular frame that balances strength with flexibility. He has viridian blue eyes and gelled ochre hair styled like Roger Federer, and his skin is claimed to be perfectly tanned. He is dressed in shorts that stop just above the knees, and a baseball top with a snarling leopard emblazoned on the chest. The left side of his shorts and right of his shirt are black, whilst the contrary are white. His white socks reach above his ankles and he wears black sneakers with javelines pictured diagonally stabbing from the ankle to the little toe, and he wears a sweatband around his forehead. He always carries a large baseball bat on his person.

Powers
As a son of Zeus and Hera, Athlim is an extremely powerful God:
 * Prowess in Battle: Athlim is extremely skilled and experienced at all forms of combat. This is because there are a great deal of sports that incorporate or completely immerse combat - making him an expert archer, swordsman, fencer and a master of all martial arts known to man. Because of this, he is a ferocious opponent. He was able to fight his brother Ares in sword combat to a constant stalemate over several weeks, though Ares commented that Athlim perfectly utilised the advantages he had and could have actually beaten Ares. He was also able to grapple with Hephaestus, who is one of the physically strongest of the Olympians, to a standstill, and when the Fire God pinned him down he used cunning to escape and restrain Hephaestus.
 * Sports: As the God of Sports, Athlim has divine authority over sports:
 * Sports proficiency: Athlim has infinite knowledge and experience with all sports ever created by man or God. He excels at tennis and swimming, and when he is seen playing baseball it is remarked that he plays it with the experience and attitude of a man who has played it for hundreds of years and never gained a strike. He personally took aprt in what he saw as the hardest of the Olympic Games and won easily.
 * Sports manipulation: Athlim has divine authority over sports competition, as well as being able to manipulate the odds of a game or the 'gravity' of the situation. When he discovered that Heptarian had manipulated the entire Olympic events over an entire year, Athlim literally manipulated the events so that he not only lost but was humiliated.
 * Sports knowledge inducement/removal: He is able to induce or remove the knowledge and enthusiasm
 * Telumkinesis: He has a great amount of control over weapons, but primarily concerns sports gear:
 * Disarmament: He is able to disarm people of their weapons, but he is unable to do this with weapons such as the Lightning Bolt, Helm of Darkness or Trident.
 * Conjuration: He is shown to be able to conjure throwing darts into his sleeves with a flick of his hands.
 * Weapon transformation: He is able to transform a tennis racquet into a bouquet.
 * Weapon density manipulation: He is able to manipulate the density or solidity of objects, once doing so to a baseball bat so that it shatters once hitting a ball.
 * Justice: As the God of Fair Play, he has a very broad amount of authority and control over fair play and justice in sports. He is able to prevent any arguments in sport from going out of proportion unless they absolutely should. He is also, through his tremendous knowledge and authority over sport, able to deduce and judge whether or not a person deserves a punishment that is dealt to them, as he did with Ben Johnson and several other offenders in sport.
 * Biokinesis: As the God of Fitness, he has divine authority over the human physiology and physique:
 * Vitakinesis: He has authority over healing:
 * Cure: He at one point cured Apati's opponent of being blinded by him so that he could beat Apati in their fight
 * .Muscle manipulation: Athlim is able to manipulate the physique and overall physical condition of a person, and thus is able to induce anorexia and osteogenesis (But this does not entirely qualify as osteokinesis)
 * Sensory manipulation: Athlim famously manipulated the sensory and nervous system of Apati so that he did the precise opposite of what his brain told him to do.
 * Chlorokinesis: He has divine authority over the nutrition of food, able to increase or decrease it at will. He can also conjure food to his hands with a snap of his fingers, and even conjured a breakfast buffet at Camp Half-Blood.
 * Curses: He is able to induce and manipulate brutally powerful and punishing curses on people, countries and objects. He once cursed Ben Johnson for taking steroids during a run by having the press humiliatingly expose him for his crimes.
 * Atmokinesis (Limited): When a team of canoeists in the Commonwealth Games threatened violence against the judges if they didn't doctor the scores or the severity of the course they had to run, Athlim furiously cursed them by causing a storm to upturn their raft and break several of their bones permanently.
 * Chronokinesis: He has a certain amount of control over time, as he is able to relive sports events that he enjoyed in the past, which can either appear only to him or as Iris message-like illusions in front of people he wants to see them.
 * Hypnokinesis (Limited): He is able to reasonably manipulate the dreams of others, which he tends to do with sportsmen so that they dream of victory or defeat in order to motivate or demoralise them, thus manipulating their behaviour afterwards. However, his ability to do this is surpassed by Morpheus and Hypnos.
