Though he has faced many difficulties during his millennia on this Earth, he has survived by taking matters into his own hands, powering through obstacles out of his own volition rather than passively hoping for his circumstances to improve. Simon possesses a sound head and a good sense for his own limits, knowing when to push himself and when to yield. He respects others as he would himself, giving both credit and criticism where they are due. Simon's blunt honesty and good nature also manifest themselves through his sense of humor. He enjoys deliberately misconstruing modern social concepts for comedic effect and brings levity to serious situations through his deadpan jokes.

Quotes= Simon says... "Back in my day, no one paid any mind to a little naked wrestling between friends. Nowadays people won't even let me enter the gym unless I'm wearing pants. I don't think modern civilization is on the right path."

"When I competed in the relay for the Panathenaic Games, I ran the last leg of the race. Now, no matter when I compete, I'm always running on my last leg. Having worked for the gods before, I'm about 80% sure that this was some kind of cosmic joke on their part. They're not as funny as they think they are."

"If cardio kills gains, then is being a runner the reason I'm not regaining my leg?"

"One time I was trying to put on my prosthetic during an earthquake evacuation, but I lost my balance during a large tremor and accidentally knocked it off of the balcony. I had to hobble down the stairs and around the grass on one leg trying to find it. Car alarms were blaring, people were screaming, and the building shook like it was about to collapse. You could say I was hoping for the best, but in reality I was just hopping in distress."

"Life was a lot simpler when 'cancer' was just a word for crab."
