Yes Adonis is weird. I don’t understand well how he works. I was friendly with him but not romantic then dance close with him But no kiss him and he looked like pissed I didn’t fall in his net. In other playthrough I went with Aeson and he other time pissed… And @Rohie I know why I though as girl Aeson and Adonis give me stats is was the toast speech. And Also If I kissed Adonis Aphrodite give me the vibe She is forcing him to seducing me. It is really a typical Aphrodite tactic. Could a God put a spell on us to want something or do something? Damn Adonis romance could be risky.

Out of the three in the group, Adonis is actually my favorite, especially as a potential first friend. Aside from Calypso, he’s the one I can’t wait to see more interaction with since he’s really likable and the potential bond that grows between him and Bearer feels relaxing and steady.
It doesn’t feel like The Bearer is as.judged by Adonis as the other two in their initial meeting. Even in the screen with his stats low it says ‘He’s just met you, and is trying to compare the myth of you to who you really are’, which comes off like he’s at least trying not to come to conclusions without interacting with the Bearer more. It helps that he is pretty friendly to a Bearer who is nice to him, and teases them in a playful way that feels completely good-natured (like when he encourages a Bearer afraid of height to at least try out the poles, and ends up suggesting the lower poles while playfully messing around with their title).
Adonis also comes off a little more sensitive than Calypso or Saint. When the Bearer approaches the group about Aeson’s reception, he laughed along with them (unless you choose the short-tempered option; he frowns for a moment, possibly because the Bearer makes their agitation clear and it makes him think at that moment ‘Ok, they’re clearly upset’), but then at least tries to explain the situation in a way that doesn’t make Bearer feel so down about it. Which probably would’ve worked to calm the Bearer…if Saint had kept his mouth shut and not said “besides he’s not the one who has the power to destroy the world” (I’ll admit, part of me wanted to punch him for being that insensitive).
If Evander wasn’t so smitten by Cally, he’d go for Adonis in a heartbeat.

I don’t know I have a paranoid feeling that her mom is forced him To be ultra nice to us and if possible seduce us. We already know Aphrodite works this way. She even messed with her own sister heart with no remorse whatsoever.
Honestly, I can see Aphrodite doing that. She’s such a simple yet complex jerk when it comes to messing with people’s emotions for some type of gain (or for her own amusement).
Although, it’d be funny if her children actually CAN’T be affected by her ability to get people high on emotion (she certainly made no mention about messing around with the potentials of young love when the Bearer danced with her son) and the Bearer themselves having a good deal of natural resistance to it too. Imagine her frustration as her son gets slowly smitten by the Bearer, to the point that he shows little interest in flirting with anyone else (I can’t help but feel that Aphrodite expects her favorites to have a lot of romantic conquests, yet be bound by none emotionally). I can also see Aunt Athena giving the Goddess of Love a slight smirk and remarking that her favorite seems to be claimed by another now (even if a Bearer’s interest in Adonis makes her raise an eyebrow).
But so far, Adonis has won me over and he’s the one I want to bond with the most as a friend.

I don’t know, Adonis is certainly not on good terms with his mother and I got more irritated vibes from Aphrodite…but that may also because she said she didn’t “blessesd” the MC enough (Yeah, don’t worry my MC is happy enough with being “only average”.), so I got more of an “Do you really think you are good enough for one of my children, really?” feeling when talking to her. Doesn’t help that she anyway is lowkey threatening the MC.
But I also wouldn’t put it past her to exploit a potential relationship between Adonis and MC.
@Okami-Nora well he may does reserve his judgement, but if he stays so passive and expects the MC (who may has trust issues and may could belive that they anyway have no chance with him, or that it would be unwise to disturb a growing friendship) to be the one to make the first step, then sorry but not my MC’s style. Callypso (and to some degree Saint, but, seriously not everybody likes body contact 
but he is a dork and MC’s brother so I think I can forgive him) at least actively pursues the MC (Yes, that’s the reason my MC has a better relationship with Callypso).
My MC has quite mixed feelings about Athena and Hades and certainly doesn’t quite trust them, but I’d still like to see Athena try to reach through to her, hopeless as the attempt would be. Actually, I’d enjoy it more because of the futility of the attempt. 
I guess I like tragedy…
Considering Saint and Calypso tried to beat us up and capture us in our initial meeting, I’d say Adonis would be hard pressed to do worse. 
I noticed that my Calypso relationship bar was a lot higher than the rest of the gang. I’m pretty sure it’s for the same reason. My MC can be a bit of a loner unless actively engaged, and Calypso seems to be the most active one at approaching and engaging the MC.

Well If you have high Allure she is different comparing us with Narcisso and if we kiss his Adonis Her reaction was off, weird. Talking about her tolerance about that between us and his favourite. I don’t know Aphrodite is cunning as hell, ruthless and charismatic. That’s why she is my favourite goddess . So I don’t know if she is trying to control me via Adonis or she is pissed. She maybe could be both.If therr is a god I don’t want mess up with his with her.
Oh, her reaction to kissing Adonis is pretty much the same with lower Allure, it just makes it easier to see her disapproving the relationship with that in mind…though it sounds as if she disapproves the Bearer anyway, she just changes the aim for her comment.
But like I said, just because she is disapproving of the relationship between Adonis and the MC doesn’t mean it’s past her to exploit it…It actually seems more likely that her disdain of the Bearer “messing” with her son would spur her on more to get the biggest advantage out of the situation.

I don’t know I won’t romance Adonis anyway It’s not my type of guy. Cally it’s clearly trying too much and too soon be with us, I don’t trust her one bit yet. She seems too daddy girl. And his daddy wants me dead.

If the Bearer is played to have those types of trust issues and is wary of people in general, having someone attempt active interaction could be just as bad since it can be as much (or even more) stressful to the person.
For some, it could be like how one approaches a rabbit; if you try initiate the interaction yourself, it’s more than likely going to run away from you and be a bit more wary about approaching you. One of the ways I’ve been taught to get rabbits to warm up easier is to let THEM choose if and when they want to be interacted with so they don’t feel too stressed by the interaction and to teach them that being around a human can be enjoyable.
Adonis’ approach feels a little reminiscent of that and while some would probably prefer being actively reached out to, others may feel more appreciative to someone who lets them have a choice when they feel like interacting and for how long.
I can almost see the deadpan expression he probably gave the two when he heard how they attempted to capture the Bearer (like his thoughts going “you came at them in a mob and sharp weapons; are you really surprised they did what they did?”). 
Can’t deny; I do enjoy the forthrightness in her attempts to get to know the Bearer 
. Her bond with a Bearer (that she enjoys being around) has this feeling of being active and, at times, a little intense. That contrasts well with Adonis’ relaxed yet steady bond and Saint’s carefully open bond.
I loved so much how each of us here have a different view of the same facts. I see Cally puppy trying to reaching us Like a clearly Daddy’s orders while many of you see like she is a good person and all that. It must be that wa, However She is trying to much for my rude characters. I mean you could be very mean but she still trying. … Sounds to daddy’s orders to me.

Yeah, but like I said, it’s just not my MC’s style. Adonis lies too low for their taste, he is nice and pretty easy on the eyes but why should she think he is interested in her romantically if they nearly don’t talk?
See, as far as I can see, Adonis reacts always jealous when you chose the being enarmored by him option after meeting him, no matter how much time you indeed did spend with him. My MC didn’t actively pursue him in anyway, she preferred to gain information from Saint most of the time and in the end spend most of her time with either Saint or Callie, so Adonis suddenly getting jealous is rather ironic and quite irritating for my MC.
Maybe his jealousy leads him to being more active? Or he is so frustrated by it that he won’t try anything at all. No matter what, for my MC it’s a reason to prefer someone else. She doesn’t have time to charm someone who seems to like playing hard to get.
Honestly if someone is shy and doesn’t want to be a burden/easyly feels unwanted Adonis way of approaching things is not very encouraging…

I continue to be surprised by everyone else’s eagerness to pursue romantic relationships. We’ve only know these guys for a few days, yet everyone seems to have their eyes set on someone already. 
Don’t you like to take some time and get to know people better before potential romance is brought on the table? Do you usually make up your mind about whether you’ll romantically pursue someone shortly after meeting them?

Nah, but it’s a game. Most people probably will play various if not all romances in the end, but it’s funny to think about who may be a match for the different kinds of MC one may plays.
And also because of the plot it has to compress things somehow, so that comes into play too.
Just look at it like people shipping characters after the first half of a movie.

This is a game and like that fictional material. It has been like that since beginning of times. Literature, musicals comics films… Or you think is normal Romeo forget her ex girlfriend after five seconds of seen Juliet. Or Juliet fall in love so Hard for Romeo… It is how media works . You couldn’t write 1,000,000 pages about how people goes chat and etc until feeling something. It would be rather boring.

Like I’ve said before, Saint is almost as bad as the gods, not letting my guy get two words in with Nephilim and I found Calypso to be insufferably arrogant, I wish there was a way to refuse to go with them in the beginning and make your own way to the institute. Besides, that part is still kind of humiliating too, seeing as how they just drag you everywhere, including that summoning, in just pair of sweatpants and no shoes. If you’re going to drag me everywhere at least give me some bloody shoes, Saint!
I just found Calypso to be insufferably arrogant, but yes Adonis is basically the decent one of the three, which makes me wonder why they didn’t send him to play tour-guide.
True, they send the two people the mc is least willing to trust, or even tolerate at that point, to be his guides. No wonder that backfires on them.
Adonis is mostly okay and my mc can at least tolerate him. The kind of reaching out, as in just making himself available, Adonis does, I think my mc was quite used to that before his life on the run and it helps that he wasn’t in that little pack of would-be killers. At least he lets us be the driving force for once.
Funny on my male playthroughs up till now I used to interpret that as not “daddy” but Aeson and the Scooby gang themselves really wanting her to be the mc’s “handler” and possibly faux-girlfriend, more than anything else.

I’ll admit that I am curious about why Calypso does seem to try the hardest out of the group to get to know the Bearer. Maybe it’s simply a matter of it just being the way she is; a straightforward and intense person in both life and the battle-field who doesn’t have time to beat around the bush, so she makes her desire to get to know the Bearer obvious. Maybe Saint vouched for them and, as his best friend, she decided she would trust his judgement of the Bearer being good and get to know them (or maybe even has an gut feeling that the two are related in some way and wants to see how the Bearer acts to confirm or deny this theory). Maybe the reason behind the active attempts at friendship involves Aeson in some way. For now, all we can do is wait for the next update and see if she answers this question herself.
Well, different strokes for different folks, as the saying goes. Different people like being approached different way depending on a number of things, but that’s what makes this all interesting. 
As a player, it is not uncommon for the romance route to give special insight on characters. And if we like a character enough, we want to learn as much about them as possible. I think, more than anything, the fact people are already thinking about how close they want to make certain Bearers to which ROs speaks well of @Rohie ability to draw us to react to characters we meet.
Other than that, it’s my approach at the moment because that’s how my character Evander is; he knows when he likes someone, so he’s not going to overthink anything on it…at least, that’s what it looks like on the outside. He’s actually somewhat guarded toward people despite his willingness to help/protect others, and can be friendly one minute, yet suddenly become aloof the next.His emotions fluctuate almost as easily as the tiding of the waves, even if he is mostly relatively calm (something that made learning who his father is hilarious for me). I possible want to play his issues being that the people who care about him will have to at times work hard to be there for him since he can be openly friendly, but easily closed off about deeper issues and has a tendency to have mood swings due to some traumas he experienced while on his own (something that Athena and Hades may be able to figure out faster than his newfound friends).
Calypso is a surprising crush for Evander since he’s drawn to her fierce yet straightforward nature, and how she puts forward that attempt to get to know him (though he does appreciate Adonis giving him a choice in such a matter). Even as one instinct is telling him ‘this is going to give me a lot of trouble’, another instinct is saying ‘I want to trust you’.

But that’s weird SHE WANTS TO BE VIRGIN FOREVER as a Artemis huntress nuns they are bound to celibacy and sex means being slaughtered .
For instance my lesbian character just stopped trying anything when she said I wannabe VIRGIN forever baby… and homosexuality is ok In Olympic world
She does? Well even if she has no (faked) amorous intententions whatsoever she still feels like someone (Aeson, most likely ) has appointed her to be the mc’s handler.
