Mars

{MARS}

^{"Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden-helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defender of Olympos, father of warlike Nike (Victory), ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of the righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere [the star Mars] among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aither wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death."}

In The Mirror

i look a lot like: james franco
abilities: you mean side from being the god of war?
this is me on a good day:
mars is beautiful in his own way. his features are angular and sharp and almost predatory. this is fitting because his smile is wolfish and there is something about him that instills fear while still being undeniably sexy. he stands tall and imposing, lithe but as solid as a wall, at 6'0 even and approx. one hundred and fourty seven pounds. he doesn't look a day over twenty but we all know thats not the case. he has full lips, a defined chin and his nose is a slope, neither too soft or severe an angle. as for dress, he is happy in his armour and that type of attire although he is content with loose fabrics when he isn't instilling fear or watching over rome's battles. almost always on his persons or in his possesion however, is his sheild. his sword is never too far out of reach and he doesn't matter of jupiter gets annoyed when he leaves it lying around. when he feels like it, aka when he isn't covered in grime and blood and sweat, he does take care of himself and he can look rather regal when the time comes that he so needs too. he isn't obsessed with his look but he has the easy task of never having to try to hard and always looking fantastic anyway. battle wear or comfort are his two main prerequisites when it comes to his style and how he dresses. he tends to slouch when he is relaxed but when he is playing the part of god of war, he is definatly imposing and feirce.

Get Down Deep

i love: war, blood, violence, sex, winning, competition, being right, getting what i want, and having power. being worshipped is always great too, and i don't mind messing with the heads of my siblings or playing with the mortals.
i hate: when people are afraid to give into their base instict, when i am told to calm down, when the rest of my family tries to tell me to tone the whole war thing down, when me legions loose, not being respected
i fear: being powerless, but that will never happen. i fear loss of control, i fear being in love with someone else more then i love myself, i fear death because its the one thing that i know but have not and never will experience. oh and jupitors mood swings aren't great.
i hope to: okay. i just wanna throw this out there, and i'm not saying i'm going to do it. but if the old man got too senile, i might not have a problem with taking over the spot of the big guy. main man. i'm just saying. not plotting. i also kind of think venus and i would make a good couple. if only she wasn't so needy. and. lastly. i hope to one day inherit the earth. but, we'll see.
i hide: the fact that i have a heart, and that i'm not really as much of a douchebag as i come across to be. people also think i'm dumb, but like. i plan and instigate wars, okay? i'm smart. even if i don't always talk like fucking apollo.
i'm weird because: i'm mildly obsessed with venus, i'll fuck men or women if they're beautiful enough and i my kicks from war.
what i'm like:
okay, i'm actually a pretty nice guy. you guys don't give me enough credit. i mean. i don't cause that much trouble. i just give mortals the motive and the means to screw eachother over but i don't make them do it. so, in saying that, its really their fault. i just don't think grandpa had the right to make toys and expect his all powerful children to not play with them. but whatever, i'm nice. i'm witty. i'm dependable. scourge of mortals - hah, mortals don't need a god of war to...scourge eachother? i don't like being told what to do or how to act so just let me do my thing and we'll get along fine. i am the god of war - what do you expect? should i throw a tea party? anyway. when it comes down to it, i am stubborn and headstrong and probably a little impulsive about things. i guess i don't always think stuff through as well as i should but i end up all right. i don't do things halfway, i am either in it the whole way or not at all. i don't have a huge attention span and i generally need lots of stuff to entertain me. thats why i do random stuff and sort of cause trouble and shit - we all need hobbies and that happens to be mine. it keeps me busy and it's...contructive, right?

Where I'm From

parents: jupiter and juno. but i don't exactly call them mom and dad.
siblings: jupiter kind of gets around, ask him.
significant other: venus
children: romulus and remus, officially. i probably have others but i don't really care.
pets: aurelia, my wolf. and viticus, my vulture.
possessions: my sheild. and my sword. don't touch them.
my story:

• Mars was the son of Juno, Jupiter's wife. Jupiter had given rise to the goddess Minerva by birthing her through his head. Juno was jealous of this event, and asked the goddess Flora to help her in the task of creating a son. Flora, the goddess of blossoming plants touched Juno with magical herbs and created Mars in her womb.

• "The child, lying in the bosom of the vernal earth and deep in herbage, now crawls forward on his face and crushes the soft grasses, no in clamorous thrist for milk cries for his beloved nurse . . . Such was the young Mars amid Odrysian snow."

• "Mars, destroyer of the Titanes, his father’s champion, who lifts a proud neck in heaven, still holding that shield ever soaked with gore."

• Two of the twelve labours of Hercules involved the children of Mars: one was to fetch the man-eating mares of King Diomedes of Bistonia in Thrake, the other was to fetch the belt of the Amazon Queen Antiope. He slew both in the course of completing his errands.

• The Goddess of Love and Beauty had a long love affair with Mars which lasted for the duration of her marriage to Vulcan and beyond. She bore him four divine sons and a daughter: Cupid, Anteros, Deimos, Phobos and Harmonia.

• Rhea Silvia bore Mars Romulous and Remus.

So to some it up, I was a good child, I suppose, but I was born to be the God of War. I've had many lovers but never loved them with the exception of Venus who, well. That's never going anywhere, obviously. I killed some beasts, played tricks on the mortal and my family and really gotten Jupiter right angry with me more then once. I have a few...a few kids, but I don't keep track. The few I favor know it and thats as far as that goes. There have been a few battles and stuff, but mostly I just get worshipped and make sure my armies are strong and ready. I don't need to lead them much, a little help here and there to expand the empire, but thats about it. Life is easy, and I enjoy being a God. See, I think some of my siblings don't see the beauty in that or really take the time to enjoy it. We're immortal! We're all powerful! Have some fun. As for my relations with humans - I help them when I think they deserve it, and I don't when they don't deserve it. I might be the god of war, but it doesn't mean I won't make you work for your victories. Also, if you prove yourself to me, I might be inclined to help out a little more, you know? I'm always getting raged at for being irresponible and abandoning my causes but frankly, the way mortals destroy themselves isn't my problem.
