[/u][/center][/size][/font].:Basic Personality:.
Ares is the God of War, while his sister Athena is the Goddess of what might be called strategic war, Ares is the God of brutal, unpredictable, rage filled bloodbath war. A man full at rage, only at home when he is in one form or another making war. Cruel and merciless to his enemies and prone to throwing such silly things as logic to the winds, prefering to be guided by his fiery passion, his emotions. Ares knows how to harbour a grudge, and doesn't hold things in for long. If he has an issue with someone, they will know it soon enough.
He not an absolute tyrant however, there are many he would call friend. Ares is fond of banter, back and forth between himself and others. He has a fondness for those that go to war with him. Many however among the gods of Olympus consider him an enemy, they find his confidence to be arrogance, and his might makes right attitude leaves others feeling him from snide and condescending to a heartless brute.

.:History:.
Ares was in fact born far from many of the others, most suitably he was born in Thrace, for the Thracians were well known to be barbarous and a warlike people. Of the sons of Zeus, there is none more brutal nor violent then Ares. Almost always seen in his bronze armour and known for his skill with a spear, his presence was heralded by the chariot drawn by four gold-bridled fire-emitting immortal stallions.
While famous for entering the battlefield and fighting until his wounds forced him to retreat, only to receive healing from an angered Zeus (before charging back to battle, this time with a shield) one of the most famous tales of the God was his affair with the beautiful Aphrodite. Having no regard for the face that she was married, Ares and Aphrodite often embraced one another in the most intimate and private way, for when Ares could not to go to war, he would make love like he would make war, fiery and passionate. They were however, discovered by Hephaestus. The two were trapped in an invisible net while caught in the act, and Hephaestus called the other gods to see and ridicule the two. After this Ares fled back to his home in Thrace.
On another occasion, Halirrhothios, son of Poseidon insulted Alcippe, one of the War Gods many daughters. Ares quickly and brutally murdered Halirrhothios for his insolence, greatly angering the water god Poseidon, who demanded Ares stand before the Olympic Tribunal, on a hill in Athens. The war god was acquitted, for he was defending the honour of his daughter, and it had been fair combat he killed Halirrhothios in.
.:RP Sample:.
Ares looked out on the coming enemy, charging with spears and swords, on foot and riding on horseback. On the open fields, it would appear the advantage was to them quite clearly. The War God looked over the Laconians he had decided to fight with. They did....not look in good spirits. "The chain of command.....healers...supply lines. White flags....worrying about evacuees and refugees. Taking prisoners....Losing the battle but winning the war." Ares informed, it was something of a speech, and knowing it was Ares, they listened. They listened well.
Cursed diplomats. The proper standard of grooming. Sensible things like having enough arrows before you go into battle." Ares took up his spear, his eyes focused on the eager enemy leader, still far in the distance. He hurled his spear, an impossible throw! But to Ares, impossible was nothing. The spear hit the warrior straight in the heart, his lifeless corpse falling from his horse. That's the dung my sister cares about. I'm Ares God of War. He smiled, turning back to them. They looked to him, eyes filling with spirit and courage now.
"Come now!" he roared. "And whomever may take up my spear from his body...may keep it!" with that he charged his enemy, powerful legs carrying him in great strides, his sword swung at the legs of the first horse that passed him by, a swift fist dragged the rider of the next before the War God drove his sword to his neck, and with a mighty swing of his arm hurled the body at the closest foe. This was war....bloody war!
