That... could work. Most of his combat potential isn't dependent on his fitness. Perhaps start off with an arc where he starts to show potential as a hunter and possibly reconcile with his family. Then BAM, suddenly an injury paralyses him from the waist down or he loses a leg or something. I prefer dismemberment but I'll see what happens IC. This is actually a situation his family's okay with because scars earned in battle are proud ones etc. They suddenly switch to being warm and coddling albeit still with a condescending overtone. After a heart to heart talk with his team or something he comes to realise he can still do a lot of good on the front lines because hey with his semblance the footpedals are redundant (as are pretty much most manual controls, he originally designed Unsubtle for people without a semblance). That means he has the world's most lethal wheelchair and why not put that to good use? So he gives his family the proverbial finger and gets back in the saddle. Preferably just in time to play cavalry, let Aurellius surf Unsubtle into battle for a glorious Big Damn Heroes moment.

You could go the extra mile and make him have a girlfriend who cheats on him when he has the accident, with some jock guy like Greyson or Jayden! Y'know... for the conflicts!

Wait.. We were supposed to base people off of mythological people? I get it, like they did in the show but I don't see Rakim fitting with someone right now.

I don't know. When it comes to pretty much all things sexual he's on the level of Sheldon Cooper...

Then how come they're together in the first place? Also, bookface. That amuses me greatly for some reason.

Zeus married Aphrodite off. You don't really argue with the King of the Gods who alleviates boredom by chucking lightning bolts around. But she cheated on Haephestus like a lot. There are a really lot of myths about it.

Haephestus was only crap in bed because Zues threw him off Olympus. And then later invited him back and gave him his daughter, Aphrodite as an apology.

I'm familiar with the myths (I somehow got a hold of some translations when I was 8 or so. Best books of my childhood.) I meant, how would Marcus get a girl given he has the romance skills of a Mesopotamian clay brick? EDIT: Ninjas!

Alternatively he is an extremely capable engineer. Make her a street racer. He gives her some help during a day off and turns her car into a proper race monster. Things can progress (downhill) from there.

Hmm... A theme for Daniel... Well, other than his not-so-subtle hinting at the dragon, nothing much really springs to mind.
