{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|}} | {{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient member of Setagaya Agricultural and Forestry Academy in Setagaya, Tokyo. He is both a third year student and manager of the Secret Garden the school is so proud of as well as head of the school's gardening department. Even the school owner's aide whose hobby is spreading fertilizer relies hard on his skills at tending gardens. Hippolytus is generally a pastoral person, but there is a part of him that greatly respects being pure and chaste. He tends to avoid romantic affairs, and he has an especially violent avoidant reaction towards partner-stealing and cuckoldry. This personality trait apparently stems from his home world Olympus's torrid relationship dramas that would put any East Asian daytime soap opera to shame, and no one has ever heard Hippolytus breathe a word of it. He gets on well with those who keep their bodies pure as they offer their hearts to their one and only emperor, and he gets on especially well with a certain bodyguard from Roppongi that he met through gardening. Shopping for glasses with a fellow glasses wearer at the mall on off days is his latest hobby.}} | ||

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|}} | {{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Olympus is the world that approves of forming many bonds as quick as lightning. Hippolytus is said to have met a terribly chaotic fate with his family as a result of that viewpoint combining with the world's view on love and romance. And yet, Hippolytus had just one garland that he would give to someone he adored and respected. It was knitted in a place called the Pure Plains, a virginal place none may despoil. It is also his Sacred Artifact, which gives him the power to make any flower he touches with his mossy hands take on the same qualities as the flowers from that plain he visited. It also has the ability to block off any external influence outside of the unconnected plant and strengthen the bonds of those inside its borders. The Secret Garden Hippolytus manages is the best tanning spot away from public eyes, though he has some psychic damage wishing that one superhuman in his guild who regularly visits it would be more discreet and modest about using it. On the flip side, Hippolytus has a faint sense of familiarity towards a certain someone who also lived a long time in a remote, fertile location and has two special arms.}} | ||

* Hippolytus is based on a character of the same name in Greek mythos who had been unjustly slain by Poseidon at the behest of his son, Theseus, due to his second wife, Phaedra, taking her own life and had accused Hippolytus of accosting her. Unbeknownst to them, Aphrodite had cursed Phaedra with obsession towards her stepson, Hippolytus, who she tried to coerce into having a relationship with her; when he reacted with revulsion and horror to her advances, she took her own life and planned to bring Hippolytus down with her. It was the Artemis who comforted the dying Hippolytus and set things right with Poseidon and Theseus. | |||
** In some stories, Hippolytus is often associated with a minor Roman forest god named Virbius, who is often thought to be the name he assumed when he moved to Italy after being revived by Asclepius and built a shrine for Diana (Artemis). | |||
** Hippolytus was a devout follower of the virgin goddess Artemis, he even made a vow of chastity to her, which allowed her to look at him with favor. With Artermis's, a goddess of vegetation, favor and being a minor forest god himself, he has strong affinity for plants and has some dominion over them. | |||
** Daisy-like flowers are scattered throughout his higher rarity art, the flower itself being symbols of chastity and purity; a reference to how Hippolytus in Greek myths would offer a crown of flowers in honor Artemis under her statue after his hunts; the flowers plucked from a virginal (untouched) meadow. | |||
* Hippolytus's charge skill "ακήρατος λειμων" means "Pristine Meadow". | |||
* One of his skills, Auriga of Purity, references Auriga, a constellation known as the Charioteer. In one of the versions of Hippolytus's story, Asclepius resurrected him in the form of the constellation. | |||
* His stepfather, Theseus, had another wife named Ariadne, who is the original holder of Daisuke's (Taurus Mask) Sacred Artifact. | |||
** Both his and Daisuke's artifacts work in similar ways; both are in the shape of rings, one is a flower crown and the other is in the form of a wrestling ring, and both prevent outside interference from disrupting anything inside. | |||
