Icarus
Icarus is a tall person, standing at roughly 6' 1". This makes him the tallest member of the main cast in Call Me Icarus, though that is no surprise when you look at his father: Daedalus.
He has a fair complexion, hailing from NE Ohio as he does. While he is a bit more tan than Andromeda, he still could use some more time in the sun.
His hair is red and wavy. When he was in the Elysian Program it was neatly maintained at just shorter than shoulder length, leaving it just long enough to pull back and out of the way in a fight. Now, his hair is a bit longer, though still relatively short.
One of his most defining characteristic is his eyes. Being an Elysian, he has traits of who he was named after. For Icarus, this means he has gray eyes, the color of an overcast sky after the sun fades.
As far as his build, he is athletic. He has been trained, practically from birth, to fight. In the decade since he had left the Elysian Program he has maintained his physique through dance. This leaves him extremely agile and lean.
He was in the program until he was 12, where he excelled in academics and did decently well in training. During this time he was became very, very close with another Elysian program student: Apollon. The two of them were tasked with taking care of their youngest addition, Achilles, when he was dropped off at the ATLAS building.
Icarus specialized in fire based weapons, spending a lot of time focusing on fire handling and fire blades.
Unfortunately for him, his little brother has more of a natural talent for fighting than he does. Because of this, Daedalus ends up trying to kill Icarus.
Apollon helped him get out that night, but he had to leave everything behind. Apollon, Achilles, and all of his meager belongings.
Now, Icarus was tired and angry. It has been a decade since he escaped the program, and Apollon has not so much as tried to find him. He is getting impatient.
Not only that, but his resentment for the Elysian Program is growing with each new thing he hears about it. They are becoming more and more corrupted, or maybe they always were and he never saw it before. Either way, it needs to be dealt with and Icarus was going to stop at nothing to burn to infected program to the ground.
