For the right arm bracer, I made an under and over bracer. The under bracer was made from the same blue spandex as the leggings, again with some airbrushing to add shading under the over bracer, I also did not hem the edges as I wanted to keep a more raw look, but it being spandex I didn’t need to worry about fraying. The over bracer was made from 2mm EVA foam covered in fabric, with a hidden zipper in the side seam to get it on and off. I painted the zipper gold to help it blended in with the fabric. The designs were done with fine-tipped permanent markers and then blended using Plaid FX paint. Dionysus comments that Zagreus is his favorite demigod, while Aphrodite refers to him a godling and Artemis calls him a "half-god", all implying that Zagreus is not seen by the Olympians as a true god, possibly because Nyx is not seen as a true goddess. I used a gold trim from Jo Ann for the edging and then added the lines using gold 3D paint. The brooch was made of a base layer of EVA foam, with the raised detailing being another layer of foam, and then worbla added over the top and pressed into the design. This was painted gold and the stitched directly to the front of the cape to hide the seam. If you don't know your foot length, please refer to the regular shoes size you wear to choose the foot length. We've listed the corresponding foot length of the US, EUR, UK, and JAP shoes sizes in the above size chart. Zagreus is a loving hero, a social magnet, a charismatic, captivating, and sociable young man, who easily befriends many he encounters, treating those of lower status as equals and often using his own influence to improve their lives, respecting the elders (except his father) and other gods. He is subtle, but his gregarious attitude and desire to please everyone suggest a strong paternal void in Zagreus, a result of his emotionally distant relationship with his father. His desire to form a good relationship with everyone he meets becomes a point of the plot. Zagreus is magnetic and will make friends and allies wherever he goes, leaving a trail of tumult in the Underworld.

This cosplay would not have been possible without the amazing support of my Patrons over on Patreon. The greave was then painted with a spray primer, gold spray paint, run n buff and acrylic to weather (like all the other painting, my Patreon has more details).Due to his sheltered upbringing, Zagreus is honest and also incredibly naive and innocent about the surface world, to the point of questioning the existence of birds, relying on others to convey information, acquire knowledge, and understand the world beyond his reach. Despite Zagreus' insistence that he is not "the god of anything", Achilles maintains that every god, by definition, must be the god of something; as such, he theorizes that Zagreus might be the god of blood and, by extension, life. According to Achilles, this would explain the special bond Zagreus shares with Thanatos despite their apparently incompatible personalities. Sisyphus implies he may have some power to summon those close to him via companions, which would indicate him to have rule over companionship. Post-epilogue dialogue seems to support all of these theories: After the leather was glued in place it was time to add the detailing. I closed the side tabs around the o-rings and trimmed them to size then seal and painted the gold. I then glued on the heads of a large number of gun-metal silver rivets (suggestion by double headed rivets as it will give you twice as many to work with), with E6000. I needed to cut some indents as I was working as I couldn’t get the rivets to always be completely flat. I then did some additional weathering with sand paper and some dark brown acrylic paint. Zagreus is the protagonist of Hades and is the Prince of the Underworld. As Hades' son, his relationship to the underworld is anything but easy. The game itself sees players take on the role of Zagreus as he makes numerous attempts to escape the underworld. While that's not the easiest of tasks, he engages with many exciting characters along the way. He can even romance a few of them.

There is a pre-run piece of dialogue in which Hades disparages Zagreus as being the 'god of nothing', to which Zagreus himself responds "I am the god of blood." as he lands in Tartarus.Hades and Persephone attempted to have a child, but with the Fates' prophecy declaring that Hades could not have an heir, Zagreus died during birth. Persephone, distraught, left the Underworld. Without her knowing, Nyx was able to revive him and convinced the Fates to let him live. From here, Nyx had Zagreus believe that she was his mother. In an existential crisis, Zagreus discovers that his entire life had no purpose, struggling to meet his father's expectations and feeling useless to the House for not being able to contribute to the functioning of the Underworld, feeling distant and alienated among the other inhabitants of Hades and having "nothing to call his own." Despite this, he finds purpose when he discovers the existence of his true mother, long lost, Persephone, and decides to escape the realm of the dead to find answers about her and himself.
