Odysseus

Personality: Odysseus maintains a contained yet somewhat trusting personality, stemming from his exploits in the Trojan War. Now deceased, he serves as a mentor and advisor at the Crossroads, lending his strategic expertise to assist Melinoë. He is primarily amiable, assuming the role of uncle/brother and counselor to Melinoë, despite her lack of prior acquaintance with him. In his mortal life, he achieved fame and popularity, akin to Achilles. However, in his former life, he lacked the balance he now exhibits, often sporting an arrogant smile, embodying the traits of a spy, strategist, and cunning hero of the Trojan War. He relishes recounting his cunning exploits to impress those naiver, often indulging in self-aggrandizement to please others. Though reality may not entirely align with his tales, his luck in defying the odds and his cowardly lion persona suggest that many of his stories have been embellished over time. Despite Odysseus not being entirely trustworthy and resorting to exaggerated tales to impress Hecate initially to secure employment at the Crossroads, he remains committed to helping out the war effort. Appearance: Odysseus appears as a dark-skinned man with some signs of age. He uses a golden headband to keep his dark hair away from his green eyes. His printed red cloak is held in place by a silver pauldron on his right shoulder. He uses a printed blue scarf, and below the cloak some silver armor can be spotted on his chest. Both the pauldron and the armor have crescent moons on them. He wears a brown military vest adorned with tiny silver plates all over held in place by a decorated belt, ending in a blue hem with more crescent moons on it and a white skirt. His right arm has a red and blue bracelet while his left arm is covered in blue bandages. Around his waist are multiple ropes sustaining his multiple pouches and bags. He carries lots of messages and reports in these. Finally, he balances an upside-down knife on the tip of his finger.
