The Greek gods, after a mysterious event known as "The Cataclysm", decide to form a new home on Earth. They build a city in America they dub "Olympus" after their old home and populate it with every god, monster, and hero they can.

Main

 * Apollo Phoebus - the main protagonist of the series who does his best to keep crime off the streets. He technically works with the mayor but certain laws and regulations don't apply to him, allowing him to have a vigilante-esque persona. He is the god of the sun and wields a golden rifle.

Supporting

 * Mayor Zeus Olympios - the head of Olympus and Apollo's father who is very eccentric. He has great love for his children and will do anything to keep Olympus crime-free and safe for the civilians. He is also the god of the sky and storms and is incredibly powerful.
 * Deputy Mayor Hera Alexandros - Zeus' wife and the deputy mayor of Olympus. Hera has a strained relationship with Apollo due to him and his sister being born out of an affair. However, she does love her own children and, like Zeus, wants the best for Olympus. She is the goddess of marriage, family, and more.
 * Capt. Heracles Alexikakos - the captain of the Olympus police who has a burning sense of justice but is also prone to fits of rage. He has a friendly rivalry with Apollo and the two have an ongoing bet as to which of them can arrest more people. He is half-blood but is physically stronger than all the other gods.
 * Artemis Aristo - Apollo's twin sister and a police officer who has complicated feelings about her brother. The two have had many arguments in the past and she sees him as being immature but she also stands up for him when anyone other than herself picks on him. She is the virgin god of the moon and the hunt and wields a silver rifle.
