Icarus

	~ Icarus upon leveling up

Summary

Once a powerful demigod—and the son of Zeus—Heracles had his soul mysteriously split apart during one of Daedalus' experiments. One part of his soul fled into a marionette created by Daedalus, and thus, this hero was born. Prior to being possessed, this marionette was said to have flown away from his homeland using a homemade pair of wings.

After having crash landed on a beach, this marionette was dubbed Heracles by a group of Nymphs who sensed the powerful soul within him. However, to conceal his supposed identity, Heracles was renamed Icarus by his allies, which just so happened to be the name of the late son of his creator, Daedalus.

Suffering through amnesia, the newly-named Icarus went along with companions he met along the way, on to Mount Olympus where he fought many dangerous and earth-shaking creatures, all just to find out who he was.

Intelligence: Was a Marionette created by Daedalus, and so it is assumed that he has some of his knowledge. Despite having gone through a state of amnesia, Icarus seems to still posses fluency in both the Greek language, and intelligence in battle technique. Mainly stays silent throughout the game, and so he doesn't provide much input in figuring out puzzles.

Weaknesses: Icarus is inexperienced, having not been originally created for battle. He doesn't talk much, and often relies on the assistance of allies during tough battles. Running out of Magic Power leaves him without many hard-hitting attacks. Additionally, using magic while his magic pool is empty deals reflux damage to him.

• Counter: Icarus strikes back immediately after a foe attacks.
• Evade: Icarus anticipates an opponent's attack and dodges before it connects.
