I was running on a tanget and decided to write up a character sheet on Achilles and maybe a few more Hero/Gods as the chance and inspiration arises. This character is compiled from numerous resources. I elected to stay away from the absolute invulnerability since Achilles is noted to have been wounded in various texts but I still gave an homage to the vaunted ability.
Anyway, this is my first stab at him and there may be some refinements later on. Comments and Crits welcome.

Background/History: Achilles was the central character of the Iliad and according to legend, the finest warrior among the Greeks. Achilles was born to a minor goddess who sought to earn her son immortality, which gives rise to the legend of his invulnerability.
Personality/Motivation: Pride, love, grief, and glory are the things that drive this tragic hero. He goes to Troy knowing that he will die there but also knowing that without him, the Achaeans must fail. His friend, Odysseus, convinces the warrior to join the war despite the protestations of his mother.
Appearance:
A bronze god outfitted in the finest arms and armor of the age. Achilles was the foremost specimen of human athleticism, handsome beyond all the other warriors of his age. Brad Pitt in Troy is probably a good visual image of Achilles save for the warriors locks were reputed to be strawberry-blonde instead of dirty blonde.
Anyway, this is my first stab at him and there may be some refinements later on. Comments and Crits welcome.
