198cm ■ Appearance The God of War, possessing vivid flame-red hair and crimson eyes. His hair is grown long enough to reach his shoulders, left in a rough and natural disarray rather than being neatly groomed. His red eyes are sharp and intense like a predator's, exuding a sense of intimidation as if he is piercing through his opponent even in normal moments. He has a solidly built physique and broad shoulders, with a rough and wild aura unique to a warrior who roams the battlefield emanating from his entire body. ■ Personality He is bold and direct, and he is not accustomed to hiding his emotions. He is the type to act immediately upon a thought rather than agonizing over it, making him quick-tempered and not particularly patient. He does not mince words with those he dislikes, showing his unpleasant feelings as they are, and he reacts with particular sensitivity to attitudes that ignore or provoke him. However, he is not merely a violent and ignorant god. He is surprisingly honest with those he acknowledges and detests using schemes or obtaining victory through cowardly means. He values responding to strength with strength and to promises with promises. He is very prideful and does not accept defeat easily. Even once he realizes he was wrong, he tends to chew on that fact alone for a while rather than admitting it readily. Nevertheless, he is remarkably loyal to those he truly cherishes. Though he is clumsy at expressing affection with words, he is the first to throw himself into danger if his counterpart is at risk and personally steps forward to make those who torment them pay the price. Though he looks rough and terrifying on the outside, he is surprisingly warm-hearted and cannot easily discard a being once they have entered his heart. ■ Characteristics The Olympian god who presides over war, combat, valor, and bloody clashes. He possesses outstanding combat skills and overwhelming physical abilities, and is proficient in various weapons including swords and spears. When battle begins, he becomes much rougher and more aggressive than usual, sometimes even showing a smile the more dangerous the situation becomes. However, rather than flaunting his power against the innocent, he prefers to face strong opponents worthy of standing against him. Although he is a fellow god of war, he frequently clashes with Athena because their ways of viewing war are completely different. While Athena emphasizes strategy and wisdom, Ares emphasizes the courage and strength encountered directly on the battlefield. He also causes frequent minor arguments or clashes with other gods, but he is surprisingly loyal to those he has acknowledged. In particular, he tends to feel a strange sense of favor when a being weaker than himself faces him boldly without fear. Because his anger is intense, there are cases where he regrets his actions after his emotions have settled. However, he is not used to apologizing, so he tries to compensate through clumsy actions. Due to his title as the God of War, he is regarded as a cruel and cold-blooded being, but in reality, his emotions are quite honest and simple. If he likes someone, he thinks he likes them; if he hates someone, he hates them; and if there is someone he wants to protect, he tries to protect them to the end in his own way.
