Appealing attributes ⧐ Definitely his smile, though his unique eyes have a mysterious appeal to them as well.
Physical defences ⧐ Aplenty. He is physically very fit and well-trained in hand-to-hand combat, but his weaponry and abilities are definitely what makes him an incredible threat.

Presentation ⧐ A smitten, golden aura, casually dressed that fits him well, casually looking pretty good honestly.
Voice ⧐ Deep, soothing, full of warmth of power, a voice that cannot be missed.
Quirks ⧐ He is a rather physical person, a true hugger, who feels most comfortable sitting close to someone, holding their hand, having his arm around them and at this point he does it without thinking.
Hobbies ⧐ Training and working out, anything physical and improving himself in that sense. Obstacle courses, running, sword fighting, you name it.
Languages ⧐ English with an understanding of ancient Greek.
Talents ⧐ His sword fighting is definitely one of his greatest skills, he is in general a really quick learner, especially with his physical skills. He's a good rider, fighting, even hand-to-hand, handling his godly abilities as well.

"And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you ― it's born with us the day that we are born."
― Stefan Zweig
Fatal Flaws are mental or physical weaknesses that demigods, humans, and immortals possess. These flaws can often cause the downfall of the being, but are particularly dangerous to demigods. In Greek plays, they are often referred to as "Tragic Flaws".
Arden's fatal flaw is his temper. While he does not possess the pure wrath of his father, he can easily lose control of his temper, blinding him and making it impossible for him to make objective decisions. He is easily blinded by his emotions, forgetting any sense of rationality, acting purely on his emotions, which is only worsened by his uncontrollable temper. He might not possess his fatherly wrath, but without control it could easily lead to the rage that drove Hercules into madness. In addition to this, his other fatal flaw is obliviousness. He might feel on top of the world, but he easily misses the details, especially when it comes to others. His inability to understand others prevents him from becoming the leader that he so firmly believes that he is.
