Biography[]

Ares is one of the few children of the Olympian King and Queen, Zeus and Hera. As a child, he was known to be all about violence and brute force. He surpassed all the other gods in the thrill of violence and destruction, which hailed him prefect for the role as God of War. This thrill for Violence made him unpopular with the other Olympians and as such they ened up resenting him, although this wasn't a case that was promted to arise as he still became an Olympian. 

Ares participated in many human affairs, due to his title as the God of War. He became popular in Sparta and eventual became their patron god, which would help them in war, whenever he saw fit. As a God, he was never very helpful with his own people as he would at times side with whatever side he favored. The blessing of Ares is known to give invincibility in battle. Despite his great strength and fighting ability Ares often fared poorly in battles with other supernatural enemies. He fought his half-brother Hercules into a stalemate if not defeated him twice. 

During the Trojan war he sided with the Trojans despite promising Hera that he would aid the Greeks. For his actions he was wounded by a mortal hero Diomedes with the help of Athena. Ares has had many times of deceit and is commented many times in myths to have fleed from battle, to let his fellow Olympians to bare and suffer the pain of their enemies alone. 

Despite his setbacks, Ares did participate in the Gigantomachy and defended Olympus successfully against the enemies. 

As a Roman, he became more peaceful and more about military might rather than brute force and violence. He states that conflict with out end is unneeded and doesn't work with him. This is similar to Mars from The Heroes of Olympus Series.

Personality[]

Ares is aloof, cruel, proude and violent. He is said to have many flaws and seems to care little for the sake of others and things that don't concern him. He would even go as far as starting a war between his fellow Olympians for the sheer pleasure of causing trouble.

He often is see towering over six feet tall and is also shown sporting boots and a pair of leather pants.

Mars Ultor[]

As Mars, Ares becomes more militaristic and displined. He becomes more about unity and group warfare. He is said to be more about military might rather than ruthless carnage. Mars doesn't seem to retain any information from his Greek form, which means that some gods might have a problem remembering things that their Greek forms do, it could be to help keep the two groups apart.
