| Name: Poseidon, though goes by Neptune Representative of: Neptune - Planet Gender: no gender (though it looks feminine in form, but male apendages *aka a dingler*) Age (in both human years and approximate age as a place): looks 24, is ageless Brief personality: Neptune is a solitary planet, being one of the farther celestial bodies in the solar system. Making them one to keep to themself. Though they do and will chat with their siblings in passing during orbit. If however put into a social environment, Neptune will converse freely once “warming up” to the others around him. His quiet behavior makes him seem an outcast to the rest and socially awkward as a result. Though through no fault of their own. Brief physical description: Neptune, being of a celestial body is vaguely human, in the fact that their body is human in shape though there are differences between them, and an average human. The fact being that rather than two eyes, Neptune has four. Their skin, is frozen to the touch. Though it does not affect them physically. Their skin is a pale blue color, much lighter than that of its planet, an almost unnoticeable blue with a slight shimmer to it because of the frozen surface of the planet they represent. Their four eyes are a striking gold color though only two of the four are typically inuse. To “fit in” with those around when in contact with humans. Neptunes hair is a mess of a wavy curled mess kept just long enough to cover their ears. As their typical clothing is well enough to cover most of their body. Being knee high boots with a thick plush fur like lining matching the inside of the coat and collar. No hood is attached to the coat as it is unnecessary. Exposed skin is seen with varying sized diamonds embedded into their skin as a fact that on the planet when it rains, it rains diamonds. Neptune is always seen with at least 3 moons, a constant being Triton, the largest moon in orbit about the planet. As well as the moon, Neptune wears several rings on his hands to signify the small, almost unseen rings that encircle the planet. Brief history: - Spoiler:
Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Among the giant planets in the Solar System, Neptune is the most dense. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth and slightly larger than Neptune. Neptune orbits the Sun at an average distance of 30.1 astronomical units (4.50×109 km). Named after the Roman god of the sea, its astronomical symbol is ♆, a stylised version of the god Neptune's trident.
Neptune is not visible to the unaided eye and is the only planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation. Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led Alexis Bouvard to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. Neptune was subsequently observed with a telescope on 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle within a degree of the position predicted by Urbain Le Verrier. Its largest moon, Triton, was discovered shortly thereafter, though none of the planet's remaining 14 moons were located telescopically until the 20th century. The planet's distance from Earth gives it a very small apparent size, making it challenging to study with Earth-based telescopes. Neptune was visited by Voyager 2, when it flew by the planet on 25 August 1989. The advent of Hubble Space Telescope and large ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics has allowed for more-detailed observations.
Neptune is similar in composition to Uranus, and both have compositions that differ from those of the larger gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune's atmosphere, like Jupiter's and Saturn's, is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, along with traces of hydrocarbons and possibly nitrogen; it contains a higher proportion of "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane. Scientists sometimes categorise Uranus and Neptune as "ice giants" to emphasise this distinction. The interior of Neptune, like that of Uranus, is primarily composed of ices and rock. Traces of methane in the outermost regions in part account for the planet's blue appearance.
In contrast to the hazy, relatively featureless atmosphere of Uranus, Neptune's atmosphere has active and visible weather patterns. For example, at the time of the 1989 Voyager 2 flyby, the planet's southern hemisphere had a Great Dark Spot comparable to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. These weather patterns are driven by the strongest sustained winds of any planet in the Solar System, with recorded wind speeds as high as 2,100 kilometres per hour (580 m/s; 1,300 mph).[14] Because of its great distance from the Sun, Neptune's outer atmosphere is one of the coldest places in the Solar System, with temperatures at its cloud tops approaching 55 K (−218 °C). Temperatures at the planet's centre are approximately 5,400 K (5,100 °C).[15][16] Neptune has a faint and fragmented ring system (labelled "arcs"), which may have been detected during the 1960s but was indisputably confirmed only in 1989 by Voyager 2.[17]
Religious affiliation (if any): if it counts, the sun Any special powers or abilities (if any): can float / hover and is highly resistant to the cold, in fact, the cold doesn’t bother them anyway (lol) |
