Robin Mercury
Robin Topaz Mercury (a.k.a. Their mom calls them Robin, their dad calls them Bobbie)
The result of Mercury and Venus' last tryst met with mixed reviews. Hermaphrodite was met with mixed feelings, on one hand they were neither male nor female, yet on the other they were both. They were neither the intellectually advanced scion of their father nor the passionate and moody scion of their mother. They were a liminal being who dwelt not fully in any one world, and when Zeus invited them to join the pantheon as a full Theoi, they were honoured and touched. Hermaphrodite is the Deity of Two Worlds, the Liminal Qing and people wonder where will Robin fit in.

Personal history
Robin Topaz Mercury burst onto the scene, wailing with the passion of the sea foam, got their bearings and never cried again. In the early parts of 2003, Aphrodite was still not privy to the secret meeting of Mars, Vulcan and Freja in Sessrumnr (overheard by Wodin, who just had to throw his hand in). She met with her brother/nephew Hermes to discuss the Titanomachy. Together they decided (over several glasses of wine and a few hookahs of hashish) to create a new scion to aid in the fight (truthfully they were both drunk and randy and it seemed like a good time...err, idea.) So, nine months later Robin Topaz Mercury burst onto the scene, wailing with the passion of the sea foam.
Initelligently and with great compassion, the intersexed child, born, according to Apollo, with both sets of working parts (ovaries not testicles), was not forcibly sexed at birth, and when they stopped crying, they let out a delighted squeal that sounded to Aphrodite as a robin's call, and since in 2003, she was heavily into her Errol Flynn phase, the child's name was Robin.
Topaz was their father's choice, as it is a beautiful and rare stone that comes in many shades, and colours, all equally striking, and the name is ambiguous and obscure enough that it is neither associated with boys nor girls, whereas Robin is associated with both biological sexes, so the child would have a choice there too.
Growing up, Robin, Robbie, Rob, Bob, Bobbie, Topaz, Topee, Pazi, depending on the time of day, the location and company of said party, and general direction of the wind, was never led to believe there was anything odd or strange about them, nor ever made to think that someday they would have to make a hard choice and then live with that decision. Fuck That! Herme Frodite, the current incarnation of their eldest child, dissuaded them of any such notions they might of had along that lines before the baby was even wrapped in a receiving blanket. Herme was not about to let their sibling suffer through the same sorts of prejudice and ostracism that they suffered before coming out in this modern world as Kween Herme Frodite the Magnificent, the World's biggest, most successful, richest, most extravagant drag queen.
The point is, Kween Herme is too well received by too many parts of society to be ignored and they went public with the child. No one, not even Tucker Carlson, turned their nose up at the adorable little baby with the two pee pees. Well, that isn't entirely true. Many on the Evangelical Right, like the Billy Graeme Crusade, and the Moral Majority, came right out and called little "Gemm" (their real name concealed to protect their identity), an abomination, and Godless filth. It wasn't until the Focus on the Family Group held a protest outside Herme's home when Gemm was 7 that their uncle's Heffe and Tony got involved.
At first it was all peaceful, as Heffe first tried to convince them they were wrong, then convince them to leave before there was trouble and then Tony dispersing the crowd with some automatic weapon's fire, over their heads and around their feet. Robin had never seen that many flashing red and blue lights and they remember thinking it was like a festival.
Gemm Between was a childhood sensation. From 8 to 12, Robin spent their life in a reality TV show called "Gemm Between, Life as an Intersexed Child" which focused on their particular difficulties and growing pains and included appearances from various celebrities, from Herme, to Pop-Star Demigod Freddy Mercury and from Ozzy Ozbourne to Adonis Rhodes, the heart-throb teen idol, Scion of Venus, that is currently making headlines in World News.
Then at about 12-13 puberty hit Bobbie like a freight train. Their body spiked hormones of all kinds (turns out even Apollo can be wrong, Robbie turned out to have one of each, ovary and testicle, and they were both jetting hormones into the youngster's system at a competitive rate.) Poor Bob was a wreck, they couldn't decide one minute whether they were in love with you and wanted to sire all your children or they loathed the air you breathe and wanted nothing more than your demise and torture in Gehenna. They had to be taken out of school for a combination of inappropriate touching and comments of a sexual nature, and lipping off and swearing at authorities and fighting with other students. The show was cancelled and the producers sued the estate of Robin Mercury. Big mistake.
Herman Mercury Esq. Is not much of a litigator, but understands the ins and outs of the Canadian Legal System and the bureaucracies involved better than anyone, and Herman Mercury has a half-sister, Atene (pron Ah-tee-nee) Aegus Esq., who is an incredible civil litigator and glad to take up her brother's child's case. They counter-sued for inhumane treatment, bullying, and extortion and in the end, Sony Canada folded and decared bankruptcy rather than pay off one of the largest settlements in Canadian Civil Litigation history. Unfortunately for them, Sony is not used to dealing with a Parlimentary Democracy and the power that Judges wield, and BC Supreme Court Justice Alaine Foster, ordered the Board of Directors of Sony Canada responsible for the settlement and went after their personal fortunes, bankrupting 11 of the 12 BoD, and almost forcing Simon Cowel into receivership.
Robin has had a seemably limitless income ever since, and even donated 2 million dollars to the local Highschool, Nechako High. and 2 million dollars to the City of Vanderhoof for infrastructure upgrades. They financed the Nechako Valley Speedway and fronted the loan for Joy Happie's Automile which has since paid for itself.
All of Rob's wealth is held in conservatorship by Herman Mercury, Pazi's dad, to be given to them whole hawk on December 25th 2021, when they reach legal age in British Columbia. The money in the account, a rediculous sum, is managed by Topee's great-uncle, Pluto Underhill.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Robin is a very strong proponent for LGBTQIA+ rights, for obvious reasons and donates heavily (5%, the maximum allowed by Canadian Law) to organisations such as Pride (the organisation behind Gay Pride Day), GLO (the Gay and Lesbian Organisation) which really should be called the GLBTQIA+O but Glibtekyapluso isn't as nice sounding as Glow, so there we are, and Youth GLO, which is the aforementioned Glibtekyapluso, 'cept for younger (12-18; kids and adults (except chaparones) need not apply.) As a matter of fact, the board of directors for Youth GLO are all LGBTQIA+ teens, except for a "supervisory position" required by law that the BoD have named "Designated Survi...err, Adult." Who it appears to them has no other job than tell them if something would get them in legal trouble, and refuse to give the legal rubber stamp to anything that might, since, legally, they are responsible for anything the BoD does in the name of the organisation.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Robin is an over achiever who is eager to please and prove themselves to any group. Among nerds, they are Qing, though they have a classic "shyness" and self image problem that makes them have a need to show off their skills. Skills which are, indeed, incredible, and they must try to prove that their skills and/or abilities and/or connections et cetera will win the day for the group. Much of this comes from a liminality that came with growing up neither boy nor girl, yet both and either. Bobbie never truly fit in anywhere, and while their parent (Bob grew up with their father Herman, theiir mother was "away" and that was always good enough for Robbie), never gave them any reason to assume that their particular life, was any sort of "condition" or disability, Topaz was always plagued by being too big for girl's sports and too slight for boy's, hence Track and Field and Jazz Band.
More than anything Bobbin longs to be a social butterfly, but at best can seem to achieve social moth, which is much like a butterfly, but...not quite. They are a little socially awkward, though their heart is in the right place, and they try hard, perhaps too hard, to remain likeable. Robin likes people and generally thinks the best of those they deem "on their side" and the worst of those they deem "against them". They have a hard time believing that their enemies can do anything atruistic and that their allies can be cruel.

Likes & Dislikes
Robin likes jazz music, intellectual games such as Trivial Pursuit, sports that are generally not contact or team sports (400m relay and Brazilian juijitsu being exceptions), and socialising over drinks or a hookah, even if the drinks are non-alcholic and the hookah is just fruit shish.
They dislike anything that seems to them, or is proven, to be unfair treatment for things beyond ones control, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, islamiphobia, anti-semitism, or anything that even sniffs of those things.
