        I hate how cliché I am. My name is Apollo Justice. My Main Arcana is Justice. My initial Persona is Apollo, though I’m calling him Phoebus because that’s just bad even for me. The worst part is how accurate it all is, because from what I’ve read, the Arcana means objectivity and a stoic nature and an obsession with justice, and that’s spot on. The tarot book I had a look at, and no, we’re not talking about the conversation I had with Ms. Fey about that one, warned me that I needed to keep in mind that bias is human, and while objectivity in law is a noble goal, forming no attachments deprives one of the wisdom, community, and support that comes from being human. My Secondary Arcana are the Emperor (leadership and a desire for control, also I need to be more flexible, and if two of my Arcana are telling me the same thing…sigh), Hierophant (conservativism, logic, following the rules), Temperance (harmony, multitasker, craves stability and resists change), and Fortune (trying to carve my own path, decision-maker, and a need to be more patient).
        The actual Apollo god seems like much more of a party guy than me. Music, dance, and poetry…not exactly my things.
        It’s a good thing he’s a god of medicine, because you can never have too many healers in your party. There’s only so many medical kits and ointments I can buy. All the fire spells are probably from the ‘god of the Sun’ thing, and the physical archery spell is nice for when we run into a Shadow that’s spell-resistant. Which happens more often than you’d think. I’m guessing the association with justice is the association with truth and prophecy, which, I mean, fair enough.
        Interestingly, he’s also got connections to Themis, the goddess of divine law, who sorta looked out for him. He also murdered a divine snake to protect his mother, but had to serve penance and then kind of served as a symbol of hope of redemption and a reminder to not stray off the righteous path. I really, really hope this isn’t relevant.
        Not-so-shockingly, though, he was kind of…bisexual? Though maybe the Greeks didn’t really need a word for that. The thing is, he had multiple sons, sure, but there’s also a lot of things about male lovers, too, and it doesn’t even seem like he’s, uh. Just out for attention? From the way this is presented, it just sounds like he has a lot of love to go around. Though it absolutely still makes him more of a party guy than me. (Also, shut up, I don’t know one of the examples from a DC comic.) It doesn’t look like there’s much difference between Phoebus and Apollo.
