Apollo Blade/Personality and Relationships

Personality
Apollo's two dominant traits are his apparent Immense intelligence and his utter fearlessness. Earlier in the series' story, Apollo is incredibly flippant, mouthing off to even the most powerful of Pirate's and Marine's, and he generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. He does mature as time goes by, but never really loses his attitude. Apollo is seemingly unflappable, not showing fear whether he's being attacked by the Seven Hells in his office or being swallowed by a giant Sea King. With the exception of Serious Battle's, Apollo rarely shows any seriousness. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he still maintains a fairly laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Apollo can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly. He can be counted on to do the right thing, even if he makes cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while he has issues with his own Blood thirsty side, Apollo has little qualms about accepting People who choose the side of good, such as Dorak and Sir Paladin. Though Apollo is quoted as believing that "Marines are often worse than Pirates", he has no remorse to kill humans for any reason. Apollo values family and friends very highly. He cared deeply for his Adopted mother and, despite their differences, he also cared for His Adopted Brother and Ice Blade, Cosmos D. Blade. Even after all the fighting the two did over the course of his Training day's, Apollo still tried to save him when he (Nova) was to be Executed, and even went as far as to cry over the thought of losing him.

Despite verbally complaining about being in Poor for any Pirate or Marine, Apollo seems quite willing to perform missions solely for the good of them, and rarely enforces payment from poor clients. In fact, Apollo will typically refuse any job he dislikes, regardless of how much it pays, but will immediately take on any paranormal cases (especially those involving High Pirate hunting), with or without pay. Many of his clients take advantage of this good nature of his, and leave bills for property damage caused during the mission instead of paying for his services. He often borrows from Aokiji or gambles to repay these debts. However, he has extremely bad luck with gambling, and loses any game not involved with Pirate hunting. As a result he is horribly in debt to Aokiji, and is often left with no money at all after he takes his cut. However, After the Time Skip Aokiji actually pays him a small amount for his "assistance", implying that he no longer owes him money.

Apollo has a fondness for pizza, and while he complains about olives, he always ends up with them on his pizza. His liking for pizza was Caused because the it was all he wanted as a kid and believes that pizza is the "best food ever". On Numerous Occasions, he is also shown to favor strawberry sundaes. He has a habit of getting roaring drunk, he mentions getting so drunk that he proposed to a mop.
