Apollo (ror)

Apollo's Threads of Artemis disappear from his hands and right after, a large shadow extends out behind him. A giant statue of Artemis then appears from the shadow, equipped with Apollo's Divine Weapon. The statue weaves the threads it produces to make a giant golden bow, its length being twice as tall as Apollo is. Apollo can use the bow to fire arrows of light, that are invisible when fired because they move at light speed. Because of how fast the arrows are, they are known as the fastest attack in Valhalla and Zeus believes no-one other than himself can defend against them.

Threads of Artemis: A set of golden gauntlets with a dark blue underside, three small studs on each knuckle, and small holes above each fingertip. Upon Apollo producing light from his fingertips, they transform into threads that he can weave into any form or structure he desires and thus can be used for defensive or offensive purposes.

If Apollo cannot draw his bow anymore, he can give the bow back to the statue. The statue will then deform the bow back into threads and form a very thick rope between its hands. Afterwards, the statue drops its hands to the ground and Apollo leans back on the rope while digging his feet really hard into the ground, drawing himself back like an arrow. Once he pulls his right fist back in preparation for a punch, Apollo lifts his feet up from the ground and is sent flying towards his opponent. While flying forward, Apollo's right fist hardens the light energy that is around it, creating an arrow covering it. This attack was powerful enough to destroy Leonidas' Völundr and deal a fatal blow through his body in the final moments of Round 9, though the arrow was broken on impact with the shield.

Apollo launches a large wave of his light arrows at his opponent to overwhelm them. They are know to be the fastest attack in Vahalla.

Apollo wraps his threads around his opponent's limb to immobilize their movement.

Apollo's strongest battle mode. A power that defies all logic and common sense, Apollo can actually get stronger the more that he lives up to the expectations of those around him, whether they be an ally or an enemy. When this happens, Apollo emits a large amount of light from his body.

Apollo creates a pair of hands out of his threads and places his own hands into them, which transforms the Threads of Artemis into a pair of boxing bracers with pronounced wristbands and studded knuckles. These pair of bracers enhance Apollo's close-range boxing abilities.

Semi-immortality: As a God, Apollo is incapable of dying due to old age.

Divine Physiology: As a God, Apollo possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. His body cannot be harmed by mortal weapons; however, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

Photokinesis: As the God of the Sun, Apollo can produce and control light. He can manipulate and craft the light into fine and durable threads for combat that can block Volundr-level attacks with ease.

Matter Manipulation: Thanks to his threads of light that he can create, Apollo can manipulate and weave them to create any weapon or object he needs. This will open up an infinite number of possibilities such as a Shield, a Lyre, Boxing Gloves, a Bow, etc.

Expectations-Induced Enhancement: Apollo can enhance his physical, mental and supernatural abilities based on the expectations and criticism of others, whether allies or enemies. This was seen when he activated his strongest form because of all the comments from the stands. It is a power that Zeus himself cannot define, since it is not tied to any type of logic or common sense. The more the public's emotion, the more affinity Apollo will have.

Master Boxer: Apollo has demonstrated immense boxing skill, evident in his ability to dodge Leonidas' quick attacks while also being able to quickly strike back.

Master Archer: Apollo has been classified as a very skilled archer; throughout his life he trained and practiced extensively to become the "God of Archery." In addition, he himself was able to kill several Giants and destroy the defenses of Argos during the Gigantomachy, and also for the fact of wounding Leonidas numerous times.

Apollo has great resistance and can withstand very strong and painful blows. When Leonidas managed to hit Apollo with Phalanx Nemesis, he received the blow directly to his face and hit the ground so hard that he bounced off it and fell back to the ground face-first. Although it took him a while to get up, it didn't take him long, and his reaction was one of happiness and joy, fully accepting the unsightly wound on his face with pride. When his right arm was grazed by his own arrow of light, that was deflected at him, although unable to use his bow anymore for the fight, he still managed to utter enough energy to use his final move, and punch through Leonidas' shield with the same arm.

Apollo has shown to have quite tough durability, as he managed to survive Leonidas' Phalanx Nemesis, which caused immense destruction on the floor of the arena, and even shocked Zeus with how destructive it was. Although the Sun God did receive a bad injury on his face.

Apollo had demonstrated not only speed to that of a God or Human fighter, but possibly speed that surpasses others. This was demonstrated when an angry Ares, the God of War, tried to slug the Sun God for his insolence while he was in the nude, with Apollo effortlessly dodging and even throwing the God of War into the water. Apollo can even quickly adapt to sudden attacks, with him able to dodge many of Leonidas' surprise attacks despite never seeing them until that moment. The Sun God himself even appears to be able to react to his deflected arrows, although he doesn't have the movement speed to dodge them.

Although not on the extent of power-based fighters like Thor or Hades, Apollo himself has displayed incredible physical strength for someone his size, despite being a speed and ability based combatant. As such, he's able to move his arms with immense ease and speed, despite wielding golden gauntlets. And even wield a huge bow much bigger than himself. His punches are quite powerful, as he was able to injure and blow Leonidas away with them, and whenever he fought Python, he defeated him with a single punch, despite the fact the serpent-like demon defeated the army of Ares with incredible ease. His pulling strength is also good, as he was able to restrain the Spartan King with his threads, making him unable to move. During the climax of round 9, Apollo collides against Leonidas' Phalanx Lambda with Argyrotoxos and manages to break through the shield, piercing Leonidas' mid section.

Apollo appears to be an extremely narcissistic individual, who cares a lot about beauty, when it comes to himself and even others. When he had heard news of the deaths of other Greek Gods in Ragnarok, his first reaction wasn't to mourn them but rather, wish he could've been there to see their deaths as they must've looked beautiful when they died. In addition to being narcissistic, Apollo looks down on anyone who doesn't fit his own standards of what is beautiful. This is especially in the case of Humans such as at the start of the ninth round: when Leonidas leapt in before Heimdall could even finish saying "Fight!", Apollo criticized him for being like a wild beast, considering him less than a Human.

Apollo's narcissistic nature has also made him have a flair for the dramatic, always doing grandiose and expressive poses. This was first demonstrated when he was in the bath and posing for each grand line, not caring if he was nude or not. This did not dim down in battle, with him outright mocking Leonidas with his expressions, words and poses.

Apollo strongly believes that what makes a person beautiful is not what their outward appearance looks like – it's whether or not that person truly knows themself. He thinks that those aren't beautiful are those who rest on the laurels of their good fortune and do nothing more while those that are beautiful are those who know their own weaknesses and don't fear changing themselves.

After the ninth round, Apollo chose to keep the scar on his face as a form of respect and recognition to their deceased enemies, further showing how little he really cares about physical appearance.

Apollo is an attractive man with flowing, long, light pink hair that reaches down to his torso and a well-built physique.

Like many of the Gods of the Greek Pantheon, he wears items related to Greece such as a laurel wreath, buskin sandals, and a toga. The toga, however, has elements of clothing more akin to a kimono, such as a sash around his torso (obi) and flower designs on the outside of the chest area, with it being open to show his chest. He is adorned with jewelry, wearing a necklace extending down his chest that resembles the sun and its rays, a chain that is part of his sash, and a decorated chain around his right leg. Underneath his Divine Weapon, he wears black gloves that only cover his thumbs, index, and middle fingers, leaving his ring fingers and pinkies, and the area around them, exposed.

Apollo is the Gods' representative in the ninth round of Ragnarok, going against Leonidas.

Apollo is a prominent deity within the Greek Pantheon. He was once a lowly and mediocre god with no innate talent, but through acknowledgment of his own shortcomings, he put in many years of hard work, allowing him to earn a number titles and competencies, eventually rising to become one of the greatest and most talented of gods and become one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus.

He is known as the "God of the Sun" and is also known by the title of "Phoebus". Some other distinguished titles Apollo has earned himself include the "God of Boxing", the "God of Philosophy", the "God of Poetry", the "God of Medicine", the "God of Archery", the "God of Music" and the "God of Prophecy".
