He's usually seen in the mortal way of dress: button up shirt (sometimes pullover t-shirt) tucked into a pair of slacks (or jeans). If he's going somewhere, he'll take a minute to throw on whatever shoes are lying around, but if he's staying home, he'll simply walk around barefoot.

He likes to drink (while working and otherwise), but never seems drunk; he also has a strong fondness for women, even though he's married with grown children. He's an ever-present smartass, giving his opinion whether its asked for or not.

overall history:
KRIOS (or Crius) was one of the elder Titan gods, sons of Ouranos (the Sky) and Gaia (the Earth). Led by Kronos, the brothers conspired against their father and prepared an ambush for him as he descended to lie with Earth. Krios, Koios, Hyperion and Iapetos were posted at the four corners of the world where they seized hold of the Sky-god and held him firm, while Kronos, hidden in the centre, castrated him with a sickle.

In this myth the four brothers probably represent the four cosmic pillars found in near-Eastern cosmogonies which separated heaven and earth. In this case, Krios was surely the Titan of the pillar of the south, while his brothers Koios, Iapetos, and Hyperion were gods of the pillars of the north, east and west respectively. Krios' connection with the south is found both in his name and family connections--he is "the Ram," the constellation Aries, whose springtime rising in the south marked the start of the Greek year; his eldest son is Astraios, god of the stars; and his wife is Eurybia, a daughter of the sea.

The Titanes were eventually deposed by Zeus and cast into the pit of Tartaros. Hesiod describes this as a void lying beneath the foundations of the cosmos, where earth, sea and sky all have their roots. Here the Titanes shift in cosmological terms from being holders of heaven to bearers of the entire cosmos. According to Pindar and Aeschylus (in his lost play Prometheus Unbound) the Titanes were eventually released from the pit through the clemency of Zeus.

Nice bio, interesting and well written. I can see the history isn'tyours but the rping sample qualifies . Just make sure you stick to the fact that we're in ancient Greece, so no jeans hehehehe.
Accepted. Welcome to GOG2!

[Crius]

Thank you, first of all. Second, no, the history isn't mine, and I didn't know it had to be. I've always just copied from Theoi and used that. Had I known it had to be written by the player, I would've gladly gotten my muses to work. Third, I've played in many a Greek rp where they could wear what they felt like wearing unless otherwise specified. This goes back to the 'if I had known, I would've fixed it' point from before. If you want applicants to be this specific, then put it on the application. Otherwise, please give us whatever gave you the ability to read one's mind - because if they aren't told, how else would they know to put that sort of information?

Otherwise, like I said before, thank you. I actually plan to snatch up a second charrie once I decide on which one I want, and I will fill the form out as you like now that I know what you expect. ^_^ My sincerest apologies if this post seems rather b*tchy, by the way.
