History;

Canon or AU? Canon-ish? Continued from canon, I guess, really...
Supernatural powers? All of the Greek Gods will know that he is the God of War and bloodlust, therefore his talents lie in provoking, inciting and encouraging rebellions and conflicts in all forms. He shares the domain of war with Athena, and Ares' side of the coin focuses more on the inherently violent portion than battle and strategy. He was also considered the epitome of manliness.

Anything else we should know? The song you're thinking of is "Hard To Live In The City" by Albert Hammond Jr. And, Ares likes dogs, hates cats, and may or may not eat babies. Oh, and he hates Eros because he's a pussy bitch. Pretty much. The god of manliness had a gay son of love and magic and ponies and rainbows. Fuck that. Buuuut Ares' dad hates him, so it only makes sense that he hates his son too. Uh, he hates Heracles because Heracles is the favorite, but Heracles still reveres him for being the god of battle since Heracles is a warrior.

In-Game Backstory:
Ares has some pretty exciting history. He's the son of Zeus and Hera, which makes him an Olympian. And, for a while, he was chill with just causing wars and killing things. Sweet. Then, he founded Thebes and created Spartans. He had this son, a nice water serpent that guarded the springs by what would be Thebes. This serpent kept killing all Cadmus' men because they kept trying to steal the water, but he was killed by Cadmus, who had married Ares' daughter with Aphrodite, who then buried its teeth to make the spartans, who were thereby direct ancestors of Ares. But don't you dare mention that it's highly similar to the methods that the Christian God used in Genesis. He'll cut you.

So, then he started gandering at Hephaestus' ward. By which I mean, he wanted to hook it up with Aphrodite because she was a total babe. And, she was pretty much a ho, so he did. Well, this one time they were getting it on, Helios decided to be ceilingcat and was all lolol Hephaestus guess what I saw. Asshole. So, Hephaestus came along and laid a trap and sprung a trap the next time Ares and Aphrodite were getting it on and, sure enough, called all the gods to come and mock the two of them in their awesome lovemaking. Ares was pretty humiliated.

On the note of Aphrodite, in some versions of myth (one that I'll be incorporating into canon) Ares turned himself into a boar because he was a jealous ass and went to motherfuckin' own Adonis off his ass because he was banging' Aphrodite. Obviously, he killed Adonis in boar form and was all 8) yeaaah boiiiii bitches best be steppin'.

Another one of Ares' sons (he was a busy man) was trying to build a temple out of bodies and Heracles was all fuck that shit and tried to fight him and Ares got involved because he was like bitch that is my one manly son would you please step off I wouldn't care if it was Eros but shit, man. Buuuut Heracles killed poor Kyknos, so Ares tried to kick his ass, but Heracles wounded Ares and he was all "fuck." Zeus interrupted with a thunderbolt and the fight ended. Ares is still pissed about this.

While the Spartan warriors were Ares' sons, the Amazons were his daughters, and he was basically madly in love with them because they were the most hardcore women he'd ever met in his life. FYI.

During the Trojan War, because Ares was thinking with his dick and not his head, he went against his promise to Athena and Hera that he would fight with the Atheneans and listened to Aphrodite's begging him to help out the Trojans. So, he did. Athena, Hector and Hera found out, so Athena got Diomedes to stab him and Ares went running back to Mount Olympus with Aphrodite's help, where Zeus told him that he hated him most out of all the Olympians. He then later went back to get revenge on Athena. Until he found out that his other son Daryll had been wounded by the Trojans so he sided with the Atheneans despite Zeus being all lol stay out of it fuckers. Thennnn he got his ass spanked for it and Athena helped him lick his wounds.

He pretty much has been dicking around in conflicts since then, pulling asshole moves like convincing Benedict Arnold to fuck over America, spent a lot of time in Africa, with the Aztecs when they rocked out with their cocks out (he likes the ones who give human sacrifices). Pretty much, since the world has slowly been creeping towards monotheism he's been making himself a less obvious influence on these battles. Since World War II, he's mostly been chilling in Somalia and Darfur. But, when his Uncle Hades was all "hey come check out the social warfare in NYC it's pretty sweet" he was like lol k. So, he's been there for a couple years under the alias of Alexander Guerra, South American arms dealer. Gang violence is surprisingly entertaining, though it's no comparison to Africa. But, for the time being, it's keeping his attention.




Presentation;

Third Person Sample:  I was told I was exempt from this because I already have a character in the RP!  If this is not correct, by all means, just say so and I'd be happy to provide an additional sample.









Questions;


Set I.

Who or what, if anything, would you kill for?
I didn't realize I needed a damned reason. So, "anything" is the answer you're looking for. It's in the job description.

What is your guilty pleasure?
That would imply that there's a reason to be guilty about it. I'm not ashamed of these things like you humans let your society make you be. If you want my best answer, cigarettes. I'm beyond being addicted to them, but that doesn't make me any less capable of enjoying them.

If you could save any historical figure from their untimely death, who would it be?
Adolf Hitler. Turning a weak country like Germany into a superpower that controlled more than half of Europe was too good for suicide. No leader of great men should go out that way.

If you could kill any living person in the world, who would you kill?
These questions don't apply to me - I could kill any living person if I really wanted to. For the sake of the question, let's go with Michael Moore. Bloody environmentalists.

Which would you rather give up: television or books?
Take them both, I don't need either. Books over television, I wouldn't be able to watch the broadcasts of my accomplishments without a television.

Your hearing, or your eyesight?
Finally, a decent question. While I do like the precision of blows and the color of blood spatter, I'd have to sacrifice my sight. Screams of agony are too enjoyable.

If you were stranded on an island and could only take one thing, what would it be?
A knife. Should be real obvious, what's going to be the most useful for getting off the island without letting the natives eat you alive?

If you could solve any one current world crisis, which would you solve?
I caused most of them, why would I want to solve them? I could probably live with fixing the economy, that would fund a continuation of the wars in the Middle East.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
Aphrodite's increasingly frequent insistence that I tell her I love her before we fuck. You'd think after a couple millenia she'd know better.

If you could be on one TV reality show, which would it be?
I despise reality television, but I would dominate Survivor.

Is the glass half empty or half full?
Both.

Do you believe in love at first sight?
I don't believe in a thing called love.

Do you believe in God?
Which god? The Christian God? He's a prick, don't talk to him, thinks he's the only one of us around. Arrogant son of a bitch. Sends one son to Earth just to get him killed, and doesn't even get revenge on the bastards who did it. Fucking moron.

If you could commit any felony with impunity, which would it be?
I can and I have. Anything that breaks the mandates of the Geneva Convention is pretty enjoyable, though war torture needs to be particularly strategic in order to keep the victim alive long enough to continue to be in pain. Or to talk, if you really care about what information they have.

If you were on the Titanic and there was only room for one person on your lifeboat, would you save your mother or your best friend?
I'd much rather have Eris around than Hera. Hera would only insist that I be kinder to Zeus, Eris would be by my side going against him. Much easier to tolerate.

Would you sleep with your boss to keep from losing your high-end job?
If that's all it requires, sure. Threats of torture would always make a good back-up plan.


Set II.

Describe how you met your best friend.
Don't have one. Don't need one. Eris is a good partner. Hades, too. But, they're family and there isn't much point to describing how I met them. Assuming I could even think back that far.

Describe the worst thing you’ve ever done.
By whose standards? I suppose Hephaestus would say the worst was bedding his woman. Repeatedly. While she refused to lay with him. But, Zeus would say participating in the Trojan War after he forced us to stay out of it. Mortals would argue the second Great War or Darfur, most likely. I don't see a problem with any of it or I wouldn't well be doing it, would I?

Describe your first kiss.
I don't care or remember. I am not a girly sentimental man. Ask Aphrodite.

Describe the most difficult experience you have ever had to deal with.
With all of the but how does that make you feel questions you'd think Aphrodite was responsible for this mess. Nothing is difficult, I'm Ares. The closest you'll get to something being difficult is being stopped by our damned father from taking off Heracles' head for killing my son. Kyknos' life was worth ten of Heracles.

Describe a situation in which you took charge.
Taking charge is what I do, it's difficult to pin down a single situation. Ignoring Demeter's bitching about helping the Americans was pretty damn satisfying. There's nothing quite like a mushroom cloud to light up the morning. Damn beautiful.
