Character Name: Ares
Sex: Ruggedly handsome male.
Age: Older than most, Ares is a god.
Position: Good or Evil - well that's entirely up to you my love.
God/Mortal/Amazon/centaur/valkery,Exct: God of War
Appearance: Ares is a very good looking man, with dark hair and eyes, his strong jawline and mischievous eyes leads him to be a little dreamy. He has a very chiseled physique, with strong arms and body.
Personality: He's bad, what more can I say? Ares wants to take over Mount Olympus in a world domination. He's the god of war, and my god, he loves to play on it. He finds joy in watching others fight, it's like a brilliant stage show he can watch over and over without ever getting tired of it. He's a ladies man, and man does he love ladies. Never really admitting that he likes Xena more than he should, he can never find anyone woman that can match up to her.
History: Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. His sole ambition is to conquer the earth, and take over Olympus as well. In order to bring the world to his knees, however, Ares requires a champion to lead his armies in the mortal realm.
Ares chose Xena, The Warrior Princess, arguably the greatest warrior in the entire world. Under Ares' dark shadow then, Xena campaigned across the lands of Greece and began to fulfill Ares' vision of conquest.
But soon Xena abandoned Ares upon seeing the error of her ways. Obsessed with repossessing her as his champion, Ares continues to contrive whatever schemes necessary to bring Xena back, believing that she can never truly escape the darkness in her soul and her own insatiable lust for power.
Ares has a nephew named "Strife" who is presently one of Ares' disciples. He is the half brother of Hercules, and he is dependent upon his sword to maintain his stature as a god. If he loses it, he becomes a regular mortal, and that would really piss him off.
He is despised by most of the other gods of Olympus.
At one point, he seemed to indicate that he didn't want to be
the god of war anymore and wanted Xena to take his place. Ares and Xena have a weird, "moonlighting" type relationship, and
it is suggested in the show that at one time, they were lovers.
Sample RP: Ares rolled his head back as he sat on his throne, hearing every bone crack in his neck. "You have to be kidding, right?" he said as he rolled his eyes and stood up, pacing around his chambers. "They really want me to stop that fight? Don't Hera and Zeus know that I didn't start it, so there really isn't much point in stopping it, it's against the rules." he said to the messenger. Laughing shrilly at the absurd news, he unsheathed his sword and looked at the craftsmanship, "... then again, it might actually score some points with the oldies, I mean... it couldn't hurt now could it?"
What you plan on doing with the character: Well, I plan on making Ares more nicer. Not always trying to manipulate people into starting fights or making them do what he wants them to do, but then again, deep down he's always manipulating them to do what they want, in his dream of ruling the world.
