- "Violators" After his daughter Alcippe was raped by Poseidon's son Halirhothius, Ares killed the violator. On the hills of Athens, Ares was put on trial—the first murder trial ever. The hill where he was acquitted is known as the Areopagus, or "hill of Ares".
Habits: Generally, he is easily distracted by woman, and gold. But while he thinks, he just stares off into space, and rather, tilts his head off to one side. As if he were to be day dreaming. But if he were in war, he'd merely fight on either side not caring about mere losses or wins, just the feel of adrenalin and the excitement of war.
Personality: Being on the charming and witty side. Ares knows how to get woman. Though he has been with many, that has never stopped him. Speaking of which, many were Mortal, Semi-Divine, and Divine them self. Seeing as one of his longest loves was with Aphrodite;The Goddess of Love and Beauty, whom was still married to Hephaistos. Seeing as her and Ares' affair lasted throughout her whole marriage, she bore to him four devine children. But by that being the only thing on his mind? No, of course not. His many other children of course. And by many, we should say, subtract a few, add a few here and there. And you'd get, about over thirty I would say so myself. Being witty on that end, I'd say no. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many of his offspring running around. So love is one thing never wasted with him.
As far from that side as possibly, Ares has a complete opposite side from the whole, charming mess. There is the ruthless, and amoral side of him. Hence he is the God of war. Especially on a completely different page than Athena of course - But he his a ruthless God non the less. Seeing as how Athena actually plans strategy to go about her moves wisely - Ares is just out for the mere enjoyment of blood lust and slaughter. Mainly, he loves war for his own sake, and delights in the din and roar of battles. He isn't influenced by party-spirit, but sometimes assists the one side and sometimes the other side.
For his hatred toward his family, Zeus always favored Athena over himself. Not truly understanding why, but it was plainly obvious, that blood lust, and war were his favorites. Which may have a part in his parents disliking toward him. So mostly, some say his violence came from not being, "loved enought" as a child.(Though it has been stated that maybe Ares probably wouldn't have been so violent if he had some paid some attention to him, and even acknowleded his existence, rather than their disdain for him.)
Family;; Keeps Us Insane
Parents: His mother Hera, and his father (of course) Zeus.
Siblings: ( I found a lot of different things >.<) Eris, Hebe and Eileithyia
Family Dynamics: Seeing as how Eris calls forth war, Zeus directs it's course, and Ares just follows it. There is at least some love there. Seeing as how, Ares mainly relys on the two for his little war games just to hop around to them for nothing but blood lust, and pure enjoyment. Though, if he were injured, he'd scream really, really loud, for he didn't like pain. And Zeus would tend to his wounds. So he, really shouldn't hate his father all too much, now should he?
But aye, love shan't be all around the family tree. Especially for his dislikings toward his family. Especially Athena. Though they have engaged, twice ( I do believe it was), and both times he has sought nothing but pure defeat from her.Only because Ares, so fond of war, he was not so successful in it as the goddess Athena. For against him, she used wisdom and cunning to help her in her battles; while Ares never stopped to think, but plunged ahead.
History: Born among two Gods, Hera and Zeus. Ares was born into a somewhat large family. And being so, he had a twin named Eris. He being the God of war, and she the Goddess of Discord.
Though, dispite being the God of war. Ares has lost to, quite a few encounters. Especially to Athena, Hercules, few mortals, and Diomedes. Being called the God of war, didn't mean he was too bright in it. He never thought about his actions in war. Usually he just plunged head first into them, and often wound up being lucky. But mainly for the blood lust he was in this for. Though seeing as he wasn't stragtegic like Athena, he was often out smarted. Simply showing that Ares wasn't a good fighter. And sadly, for being a God of war, Ares. . Hated pain.
Though, throughout life, he's had many loves, one mainly for him was Aphrodite, and during that time of which they had their affair, she was married to Hephaistos. Clearly showing that no matter the situation, that Ares was one roué. Having several children by her, it certainly didn't end there. He was usually either outraged, or wanting a woman. So combine the two, (over thirty children later) you get a whole mess running around(plus one monsterous creature for a child >.> yikes).
But seeing as though Ares is now more likely on the move to be more of a lady's man, since wars haven't been started in the mean time. This leaves Ares bored, and giving him nothing better to do, other than sit around, watch woman, and be lazy. Which by all means, bores him to no end, (Curse you Eris!!! xP).
Extra: { That was horrible, no? xD I hate character personalities and Histories. . . >.<}
