CHARACTER: Franklin Delano Donut
CANON: Red vs Blue
GOD: HYACINTHUS
MYTHOLOGY: Greek
MYTH OF HYACINTHUS:
Hyacinthus was a handsome young Spartan prince loved by the gods Apollo and Zephyrus. He became the lover of Apollo and the West-Wind grew jealous of his rival in love. One day, as the pair were playing discus, he blew the discus off course causing it to strike Hyacinthus in the head thereby killing him. Distraught by his death, the grieving Apollo forbade Hades from claiming his soul and transformed his mortal remains into a larkspur flower (hyakinthos in Greek). Due to Apollo's interference, Hyacinthus became a Deity of Flowers and was whisked up to Mount Olympus to live happily ever after.
POWERS:
- Shield Powers. An automatic energy shield that can withstand an anti-gravity bomb. The shield will be able to propagate up to 100ft. Since he's a peaceful frolicking flower god it allows him to confront others without losing his head by automatically protecting him if he senses danger. However, if he doesn't sense danger then it will not automatically protect him. The shield will react to emotional damage too, protecting him as if it were a physical attack.
- Perception (see/recognize spirits)
- Teleportation (can teleport himself and others including spirits by touching them).
- Flowers. He's a flower god and such has an affinity to them. Flowers are drawn to him and will grow rapidly in his presence. He has a special bond with his namesake flowers - larkspurs. They can sense his mood and respond to it in kind i.e. curl around him when he's feeling lonely, bloom when he's feeling happy, wither when he's feeling down, etc.

SHINKI: Hakari aka The Medicine Seller. The name, Hakari. The vessel, Shou. Come, Shouki!
TEMPLE:
HYACHINTHUS Temple is located in the FarShore near the ocean. The entrance to his temple is via the beach. You will find yourself facing a set of gates. The gates are usually open to the beach. Once inside, the grounds open to a field of his namesake, larkspur flowers. The god can often be found frolicking among them as they tell him their secrets, imparting everything that happens among them including who and what passed through. At the entrance, there's three cobble-stone paths that open up. The center leads to the actual temple which rises up from the field of flowers as a decadent castle off in the distance. The other two veer off in opposite directions leading to different flower mazes. The entrance to the castle/temple opens to a Spartan Red Hall. The long hallway leads to the Grand Staircase, and into the Ceremonial Hall where the god spends most of his time surrounded by bouquets of larkspur when he's not out frolicking among them. Within the castle, there are just below a hundred rooms, each decadently furnished along with a modest library for leisurely reading.
