Those Bestowed with Heaven’s Radiance
Fantasy equal: Apollo
Most like them tall, dark and handsome, though sometimes one with a fair mane might just tickle your fancy. Children of the Sun are touched by the radiance of the stars and heavens. Their crowns are blessed with strands of gold, which glints and shimmers with the passing of light and shadow. I would say they are somewhat rarer than their dark counterparts, which makes your attraction to one of them all that more special.
Many imagery of the god Apollo depicts him as a blond with an athletic build. In the PC game, Zeus, he graces your
streets wielding a bow and wearing a mere white rag around his waist. He was always welcome in the cities I governed, not only for his looks, but the oracle and healing he provided as well for worshiping him. He must have had many purposes in the lives of the ancient Greeks, for he was associated with many a things, including light, the sun, archery, healing, music, poetry and the arts. Furthermore there is said Apollo drove a chariot pulled by fiery horses (solar steeds) across the sky to provide the world with much needed light, which was in fact the sun, of course. There is much discussion as to who this radiant body was, since some say it was Helios or Hyperion, who are two other celestial beings featured in ancient Greek mythology. It most likely depends where along the Mediterranean you were located and during 
which period of the ancient times.
This collection depicts various versions of how I perceive Apollo would look like; those I perceive to be Children of the Sun.

In Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo (in Greek, Ἀπόλλων—Apóllōn or Ἀπέλλων—Apellōn), is one of the most important and many-sided of the Olympian deities. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; archery; medicine and healing; music, poetry, and the arts; and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu. Apollo was worshipped in both ancient Greek and Roman religion, as well as in the modern Hellenic neopaganism.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo
Love your site -- and it's nice to see you're still up and running, seeing as how some gay blogs are being dumped off Blogger. I know of two in just this month -- The Daily Slab and Famous Like Me. Hope you can keep it up.
