[@Denny] Hang on, sorry about bothering ya, but I was hoping you'd look at a revised version, now with 100% less organized crime. It was gnawing at me and I feel that I don't really need the excessively edgy stuff to feel out of place. :) I think I may add one more thing to the end of the history later on. But for now I'm thinking both younger brothers may be with him.

Residents can expect him to work around the clock to make their stay a special one. [color=fff200][b][h2]Physical Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=fff200][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Apollo is often very disciplined in the way he carries himself, a manner that's even apparent when he isn't caring for his duties, meaning he doesn't tend to slouch very often if at all. He has short, yet somewhat unwieldy dirty blonde hair and soft emerald eyes. He stands approximately 5'7 with a healthy and partially muscular build. Unbeknownst to nearly everyone except his two younger brothers, Apollos still carries scars from an old car crash he was involved in when he was younger, the lingering and faded marks of various levels of severity strewn across his body, predominantly around his upper torso and limbs. He makes it a point to hide them at all costs. [color=fff200][b]Attire/Style:[/b][/color] Due to the aforementioned scars, along with his own personal taste, Apollo very much always wears clothes or combinations of clothes that cover his body, especially in public, with shorts and tee shirts being just the start of a sizable line of articles he's unlikely to be seen wearing. Actually, over the years he's taken to wearing mid to finer apparel as opposed to more casual wear. He doesn't consider himself as being very fashion forward, there being clear favorites of his that strike a nice balance between practicality, style, comfort and even sentimentality that he'll wear in a pinch. But should he think it a reasonable personal expense and under the right circumstances (a good sale for instance), he'll willingly add another piece to his collection. [color=fff200][b][h2]Mental Info[/h2][/b][/color] [color=fff200][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Apollo is a man possessing a tireless work ethic, taking his responsibilities towards managing the Feather Song Inn and taking care of his younger brothers Roland and Marcus very seriously. These he carries out in a calm and collected manner, his immediate emotions rarely reaching the surface and not usually being the driving force behind most things he does. Hardly if ever relying on his gut or on unwarranted assumptions, Apollo instead prefers to analyze the evidence available to him and arrive at a reasonable course of action. Patience is a virtue that he's adopted over the years, but nothing tries it like indecisiveness, and once he's set on a course of action, he'll devote himself entirely to that option and tends to expect anyone who may be working with or under him to do the same or to follow his lead with very little question. But should they have justifiable cause, he'll listen, eager to accomplish what he views as his personal commitment. In his occupation as Innkeeper, Apollo has found the job of manager to greatly satisfy his draw towards self reliance and order. What is more, as resident of Hope Valley and with his brothers safe and happy, he has found a new sense of purpose, safety and stability that he would never dare threaten or take for granted. He's apt to keep to himself, but should anyone cause a commotion within the inn, he won't hesitate have them removed. He's found that a simple smile goes a long way towards being a pleasing host, but apart from his position and family, he can come off as aloof and distant. He is reluctant to really experience all that Hope Valley has to offer, feeling more at home working his day away than socializing and exploring. His family and work come first, but anyone who comes to him will be hard pressed to find anyone more reliable or devoted.

The three children, as stipulated in the will, were left to a friend of the family, an aristocratic businessman of great status and influence named Raffaello Lazzari. The man welcomed the brothers into his opulent mansion with open arms, his hospitality knowing very little limits and soon they felt as part of the family alongside Lazzari’s only daughter, Caterina. It was decided among Apollo and his brothers that they would graciously help with chores around the manor, Marcus and Roland cleaning and Apollo eventually taking on more responsibilities as Caterina’s personal butler while he slowly but surely recuperated, Raffaello believing she might coax the rather reclusive boy out his shell. Years past and the new family only seemed to grow closer, Apollo himself proving to be a judicious and capable caretaker, his laborious tasks never feeling so in Caterina’s presence, her wide eyed charm always brightening up his day. It is under her tutelage that he learned to play the piano, the form and structure involved resonating well with him, though he was less than ecstatic when she encouraged him to play with more “feeling”, pleasure rather than perfection as being the major objective. Their time together is precious to him, moments he’ll always remember for as long as he’ll live, and some of which are brought to mind every time he looks upon the medium grand piano, which stands prominently at the inn’s lobby. Yet however close the two of them had gotten, it was no secret that Caterina was arranged to be married to another man and be made to live elsewhere. Apollo would never dream of getting in the way of what he believed to be Caterina's chance at happiness and throughout their time together, didn't tell her how he felt about her. She, on the other hand, already knew, and even though they'd end up parting ways, she wanted to give her dearest friend something to remember her by: a music sheet of a song she made herself. Days prior to the wedding, Apollo began to receive visions courtesy of the Harvest Goddess, of a quiet little town called Hope Valley. When he talked to Caterina about it, she told him about the cherished times she visited the once popular tourist destination, the inn in particular sharing a special place in her heart.
