Audition post:

The famous hero Hercules, clad in his trademark gladiator clothes, walked forward while wiping the sweat off of his brow with one of his massively muscled forearms. What appeared to be an over-sized black lion was lying on the ground behind him, defeated. Exhaling a breath to clear his lungs the redhead breathed in fresh and and smiled before opening his eyes and looking straight ahead.

"Being a hero means a lot of things, but one of the most important to me is being able to help people who can't protect themselves," he began to say loudly and with clear enunciation. "I have to do a lot of traveling and fighting to keep our world safe from the forces of evil, which means I can't afford to tire out before the job is done!"

As he reached a small pedestal placed conspicuously in the middle of the forest he was walking in Herc reached over with his right hand and picked up the orange and yellow bottle placed on top of it.

"To make sure my strength doesn't run out before the job is done I use new Herculade Gold! Its great for restoring your lost energy, whether you have to fight monsters, compete in athletic games, or just have an honest day's work ahead of you and you can't afford to tire out before it's finished," the demigod went on to further state before tilting his head back to show off his left profile and pour the lemon-flavoured contents of the bottle out of its straw and into his waiting mouth. Herc gulped it down with a smiled and licked his lips in satisfaction before looking forward brightly once again, this time holding the drink out in front of himself so it could be seen better. "Herculade Gold! Now with three new flavours!"

The hero pulled the container with the likeness of his name on it back closer to his chest and showed off a flash of his pearly whites. Cheers erupted around him and lasted for a few moments longer after two red curtains closed in front of him so that the stage hands could get to work moving the forest set and the lion prop off of the stage.

"Two words, Herc! That. Was. Great!" said a hearty voice from below as an old satyr walked to the hero with a towel to wipe off the stage sweat he'd needed applied beforehand.

"Thanks Phil," came the reply after Hercules handed off his drink to one of the workers so he could bend down to pick up the offered cloth and dry himself off.

"It feels like you haven't done a commercial in years! What finally got you back on stage?" the hero's trainer asked as ht etwo walked to the back room.

"What can I say? Its a really good drink and it works! I was happy to lend my name to help it sell. The people deserve to know."

Lend indeed. Herc grinned wryly to himself and looked off to the left corner of his vision as Phil continued to go on about the possibility of more public appearances in the future. Phil's "cut" would have to come out of Herc's own pocket this time, since he didn't feel too well about taking munny for promoting a good thing and had done the gig for free. But Herc didn't want to tell that to Phil since he knew he was counting on the cash. He'd just think of it as a gift for his closest friend.

'Well, with what's left of my recent championship winnings(Herc had taken to giving most of those to various charity organizations over the past several tournaments) I can still afford it. After all, I know how much Phil has been wanting to get a new statue for the coliseum.'

The little guy lived and breathed for that place. he loved having the chance to show a whole new generation and even the common man what it meant to be a true hero so that darkness would never have the chance to take hold of the hearts of the people in their beautiful world. Well, in that regard, so did his number one student.

At least... he did after he was done living and breathing for Meg.

1/2 Approved

Ho...I rather liked the little back story to this. The over-arching intentions of Herc actually portrayed more of him than any one section of text.

2/2 Accepted.

Nice. You even added your trademark typo. XD Very hero-like and of course, very Herc like.

Get that profile goooing!
