Description
Name: Ares
Age: Seventeen
Birthdate: April 13th
Grade: Eleventh
Gender: Male
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 200lbs
Personality: Aggressive, violent and ill-tempered, Ares is always in the mood for a fight (or multiple fights). Not one to be patient or believe in diplomacy, he figures that if he’s going to get hurt then he will just get things done once and for all (aka JUST DO IT mentality). He also tries to appear bro-like to others to the point of being too overzealous… or too violent. He tends to say everything on his mind, even when it’s something that others really would rather not know because tmi. Lacks a very vital filter.
His unquenchable thirst for conflict and constant attention for the perfect physical appearance, however, mask an inferior and anxious personality. He has a strong need to prove that he is right because he always feels insecure about himself, be it about his personality or physical appearance, and has a strong aversion to being embarrassed in public.
Background: Came from a family with military background. Parents are usually away, though generally when they’re around, they’re pretty ambivalent to/don’t care about what he chooses to do. His father, in particular, doesn’t really like him, for reasons that are unknown to him. He figures just his presence already bothers his father.
Born with a naturally larger frame than others, Ares used to be an extremely chubby kid, and worked out a lot for his body to be the way it is at the moment. To this day, he still worries acutely about his appearance.
Clubs: Student Council (Sophomore Rep), Yoga Club (President) (INHALE THE GOOD SHIT, EXHALE THE BULLSHIT, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!)
Residence: Beta House (β)
House: Lapetus (Ἰαπετός)
Likes/Dislikes:
+ Dogs, vultures, sports, men, romance (and with that music and songs)
- Mind tricks/mind games, bossy people
Others:
- Tries to read books because of his noble background, but doesn’t really like them. He also doesn’t like to admit that.
- Despite being flirty, he feels the commitment quickly. It doesn’t stop him from going into multiple relationships if the former one dies away, but he would like his relationships to last a bit longer (than one night stands).
- Spends a lot of time on his hair. Generally tries to look good in a more casual manner instead of dressing up, though he does enjoy dressing up in suits once in a while.
- He has two Dobermans, their names being Phobos and Deimos.
- Has a very slight inferiority complex. He tries to mask it, though.
How did you incorporate the myth you chose into your character?
- EYEBROWS…. Basically everything arrow/spear like, since it’s one of his main symbols. Also dogs
- Ares is considered redundant by many scholars. Athena by herself is also a ‘God(dess) of War’, but she makes up for the brutality with her tactics. ‘Mars’ in Roman mythology is a much closer version of a god of war to Athena.
- He likes romance because he has an affair with Aphrodite…
- Generally, he’s not very well liked in Greek myth by both mortals and gods. Zeus hates him with a passion. Whenever Ares does make an appearance, he’s either embarrassed in public (like that one time he got caught doing the do with Aphrodite), or his kids get killed. Give the man a break
