Hades from Olimpos.

[OOC]
This is the permissions list for OOC (out of character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired.

Backtagging: Sure.
Threadhopping: Probably yes, but ask first!
Fourthwalling: Probably yes, ask first.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): I'm uh, good with most things. A heads-up before something huge would be nice, though. Smut will require an IC foundation and a more personal relationship with you, the mun. Unless it's a meme. I can roll with memes.

[IC]
This is the permissions list for IC (in-character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired. With IC permissions, it's a good idea to elaborate on what other players can expect from your character if they choose to do any of the following:

Hugging this character: You can try! He might disappear before you get close enough, though.
Kissing this character: Same as for hugging.
Flirting with this character: Go ahead. He probably won't reciprocate, though.
Fighting with this character: Yeahhh...? See below for his full roster of abilities.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Sure. Whatever you can come up with.
Killing this character: Not gonna work, but what should be mortal wounds are fine.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: No.

Warnings:

Hades is a massive troll and a literal godmod, but he's fairly benign if you don't piss him off.

He has the general god powers of his world - the ability to read the thoughts of everyone and anyone (except for gods, perhaps) in the immediate radius. It might be by choice, but it's unclear. He also has no material needs (Food? What's that? Gods literally don't understand the point of eating in Olimpos), is well nigh invulnerable, can regenerate, is immortal, disappear, reappear, hide himself, crush mortals with his presence... he's a literal godmod, though he doesn't seem to be able to control others with his mind or anything like that. How much he is able to influence others with his presence is dependent upon how much power they have individually. Additionally, he can 'hide' or simply not show most of his presence if he wants to, remarkably unobtrusive for a god as he is. If he reveals himself fully, however, it's suggested that normal mortals unaccustomed to his presence can be forced to the ground by the immense pressure - as Zeus simply 'passes by,' he causes an earthquake. Yeah. Hades, though, has enough control over himself to not do that.

A few things that might not be seen as powers include the fact that gods literally cannot lie - it's a physical (metaphysical?) impossibility. Additionally, gods are perpetually unchanged. They don't age or change - unless they want to. Hades in particular is able to appear to all beings as how they perceive death - his appearance in the manga is only how Apollo sees him, and for instance, a young mortal woman is utterly terrified by his apparently beastlike form, and Ganymede's first impression of Hades is 'a dead woman.' Despite those admittedly unflattering descriptions, Hades can also look 'so beautiful it's impossible to defy him.' In Anatole, I'll probably go with the appearance he has in his icons for consistency.

He can disappear and reappear at will, but he cannot jump through time or manipulate it. Hades is also apparently able to manifest on a slightly different plane than the mortal one, where he has a massive body and uses this location to mess with the middling little humans, though it's unlikely that he does this often. (This will be impossible in Anatole, anyway.) Oh, and he can project his voice like Morgan Freeman only not really, because he could be floating in the sky above you or someplace else entirely.

Hades is also capable of extending wings and flying, causing death at will (to some extent), and is the god of Riches, Madness and almost everything not associated with Zeus (death, darkness, etc.), and thus has power over all of these things. He can control some animals such as crows and rats. As the god of Riches, he probably has no need to 'make' money, and can instead take it from beneath the ground (like instant-result mining!). Since he'll probably never buy anything, this ability isn't of much use to anyone. It's also implied that Hades can incite Madness, or just drive mortals mad with fear. He apparently has a distinct aura of death and madness, which can be made so obvious to the degree that mortals are struck with fear. He doesn't do this very often, however.

He's also very good at pissing people off.

Since Olimpos canon is very, very, small, most of these abilities are either only shown once or taken from the fact that other gods are able to do the same thing or something very similar.

So! What effect does Hades have on your character? ...I don't know, you tell me. If you could take the time to comment with the following info, that would be awesome. Thanks!

o1. Can he read your thoughts? To what extent? (He won't say much about them, if you're worried about that.)

o2. What kind of effect will Hades have, spiritual-pressure-wise, so to speak?

ETA: Hades's presence can be felt by everyone, not just those with supernatural powers. It feels akin to having a massive weight pushing down on you. Those with weaker wills can feel like they're being completely crushed, but it's all psychological. For example, when Zeus passes by Ganymede's garden, Ganymede, a normal mortal, is forced to the ground. Hades can hide himself and contain his own presence well enough so that this will probably happen only when he actively shows his presence. He is, quite literally, a god, but it really doesn't show unless he loses his temper.

o3. What will he be able to say about you to test the truth of (e.g., 'You have two brothers.' If he can say it, then he knows that it's true)? I can review some canon if you don't go into detail but otherwise I will pester you with questions. 8D

o4. Anything else? Such as, what will Hades be able to do in terms of combat? (Can Hades even fight? No one knows. We'll see.) Miscellaneous concerns, throw them at me! I'll try to figure it out. Alternatively, got any permissions for me to fill out?
