The Basics
Name: Hades
Race: God {of the Underworld}
Age: Old enough to remember Ancient Greek vividly. which is more than most people can say.
Height: 6'2"
Hair Color and Eye Color: His hair is a dark brown, like a rich chocolate though it can just as easily be a black if in the right light, the light of the underworld or a moonlit night. As for his eyes, well they happen to be a soft, caramel brown hardened to perfection under his typically uncaring gaze.

Habits: It's not really a habit, more like a ritual. But he loves to walk down by the River Styx with his bride or dog. Either suits him quite well in all actuality. He also likes to drum his fingers when things get too quiet, which would be a habit.
Personality: Stoic would probably be the best way to start off. Calm, collective. Never letting much emotion show since it has no place in the underworld. Ghosts pleading their cases helplessly, it's best that he keep a straight face less they try to jump on some hidden emotion they think they see. The same goes for his family who are another group he finds it best to cover himself with.
Not that he doesn't show emotion around them. He isn't some heartless, uncaring thing. If he was it would be a lot easier to ignore them all. Alas, they manage to drag out the slightest emotion from him. Anger, joy, amusement. Even love on the rarest of occasions. But it's always reserved, like a casual bystander watching a family bond. Mostly because none of them deserve to know his innermost feelings and thoughts (his wife excluded).
Around her, he's nothing more than the sweetest, kindest man he can be. Love has certainly made the fool of him and yet he finds no reason to curse Aphrodite or her brattish son Eros. After all, there's only one who can make him feel his happiest every winter and at his most depressed each fall. And he can deal with that one person quite well.
Family;; Keeps Us Insane
Parents: The ever wonderful Rhea and that prat Cronus.
Siblings: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hestia, and Demeter, wonderful person that she is.
Family Dynamics: I is just as confusing and annoying as people would believe. All those gods and goddesses always getting into terrible, confusing tryst and tirades with each other. It's a horrible and awful thing, not to mention annoying. Not that he's one to talk since he kidnapped and married his niece, thus ruining the relationship he had with Demeter (not that he cares).But they're just so chaotic and obnoxious, he's rather happy that he has his own area where he can go and hide out until everything is done with.
Of course there is the occasional family member who he actually happens to like. Like, his siblings when they aren't being completely annoying all caught up in their own lives. And he adores Ares, though that's mostly due to the fact that the guy is the god of war and war has a tendency to lead to someone's death. And there's Persephone, who really needs not be mentioned.
History:
Well to get the tedious and repeated out of the way, he was eaten by his father, saved by his brother, dealt a shody deal that landed him in the Underworld and married Persephone after kidnapping her one lovely spring day. He never much cared about whether or not the god would be interfering with the lives of mortals because it was never their lives that had interested him. The seasons would still change and he'd still see his bride.
It was what came after that that had bothered him so.
Sure they all continued to come in with their gold coins, but when that stopped he was furious.Those foolish mortals were trying to deprive him, God of the Underworld, his due rights the awful beasts. It wasn't fair. And of course with the problem of not getting gold, more and more people were spending their hundred years in Asphodel before being moved off to where they belonged. Not a problem until things like major wars and plagues break out. Things like that lead to crowding and a man losing his wits because of wailing ghosts.
He was more than willing to curse Zeus and his ever so genius ideas, because only an idiot like his younger brother would come up with such a stupid idea. But instead, he found himself doing the most absurd thing possible.
He was venturing up to Earth. Seeing sights that never seemed to be there on his last visit .It wasn't as though things were moving so fast any more. A few dead souls to judge each day and then peace. And he had never been one to interfere with mortal affairs anyways. He much rather to lose himself in a crowd or enjoying the simple scenery of the world. There was the occasional chat with the occasional mortal, but as soon as it was done, it was done and he didn't see them again until they entered his realm.
But when words of a civil war reached him, he was shocked. Those foolish gods were revolting against each other? There wasn't much a point to him. No one would die. There would just be hurt feelings and possible job changes. And since no one wanted his job he was perfectly safe. Which was why he looks at it with nothing but the vaguest bit of concern for his bride and friend Ares.
The rest of them can do as they please. They never paid much attention to him and he'd rather keep it that way as well.
Extra: Nothing of the sort.
