overall personality:
Zeus is what most might call a slut, and not always in an affectionate way. His own siblings have used that and more to describe him, Hera most of all. He is vain to an ridiculous degree, proud of his appearance and unafraid to show it. That's not to say he doesn't have modesty or humility, only that he rarely acknowledges when he feels either of those things. Hard to have modesty as a model, anyhow.
He's a charming sort, which is part of how he became known as a slut among friends and family, and rarely has difficulty finding someone to take home when the mood strikes. For all his flighty and uncommitted tendencies, Zeus does want to find that special someone eventually. There's a romantic buried somewhere under those muscles. Of course, if he admits that, the sisters will start setting him up on actual dates and that's just not how Zeus rolls.
For now, he's happy in his bachelor life, but there's always the chance love could strike unexpectedly.

history:
Zeus was born the first of six--by a bare margin of two minutes--with a shock of blond hair and bright amber eyes. He was an active child from the start, always running and climbing and getting into all manner of trouble. From the start, he believed himself superior to his peers, though a few came close to being considered equals in his eyes. Despite his obvious arrogance and superiority complex, the majority of Zeus’ peers thought him charming and likeable, if a little selfish at times. They accepted that he wasn’t likely to help another person if it didn’t also help himself in some way, and while none of them considered themselves his ‘best friend’ they counted themselves fortunate that he found some favor in them. After all, to be liked by one so honest in his affections was a blessing when he could strike any of them down easily enough.
Words were not Zeus’ forte, or words related to emotions were not; he could weave his way into the favor of many with flowery words of flattery, but attempt to bring up feelings and he’ll retreat from the conversation in seconds. Oh, he can fake enjoyment and interest well enough, but sympathy’s always been a hard one to fake when he’s never actually felt it and he rarely tries these days. As the first-born, he was expected to set the tone for what the rest of his siblings were likely to become, though they all had rather unique personalities and differing values. Families generally stuck together, after all, so why would theirs be any different?
Zeus did manage to make a reputation for himself, by being an incorrigible flirt and a reckless rogue once he began school at Beauxbatons. A ladies’ man, though he hardly limited himself to just the girls. His grades were...passable, for most of his classes, as he barely studied beyond what was required for his school-work. Still, he had a natural talent for Charms and Martial Magic, particularly the showy stuff, and was always the one out to make the class laugh. He got himself in detention at least once a week, and charmed himself out of at least half of those.
Zeus graduated Beauxbatons with O’s in Charms and Defense, A’s for just about everything else, and one E in Astrology that surprised even him. Not many jobs--none that he wanted, at any rate--took those kinds of marks, so he decided to become a Personal Trainer because he’d been fairly good at captaining the Quidditch team and figured it couldn’t be too different. Modeling came a bit later, but he knew he was pretty enough for it and why not get paid to look good? His clientele has been a wide variety of average people and wealthy snobs, thick and thin and everything in between. Few trainers remain successful at his age, but he’s of the ones to actually practice what he preaches and so remains healthy and limber. In fact, his continued good health and figure are what make him that much more successful at his jobs, because looking good at 25 is a lot easier than it is at 45.
site events reaction:
It's not really deliberate, but Zeus just isn't aware of most of what goes on. The quarantine reached him only because it actually impacted his work, but the other stuff? He's heard whispers about the Azkaban escape, but didn't pay it much mind, and politics may as well go right over his head for all that he understands. If he truly thought about things, he'd be on the side of equality, on the side for progress and adaptation.
