The sleeves of the shirt are ripped off, and it is paired with his faded-black vintage jeans that sport rips and tears about his thighs and knees. His brown hair is capable of growing shoulder-length, but currently, he has it crew-cut—bristly to the touch—with sideburns militarily cut on either side of his face. On first appearance, he is intimidating to most, which often foreshadows an important aspect of his personality. About his neck, one can see the mystical necklace crafted by Hephaestus and resembling gold in brilliance.<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Avenger Appearance:</strong></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/HlySd/1024224-dark_avengers_ares_01_pg_03_copy_super-1.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Marvel Character:</strong></span></span>Ares<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>History/Significant Events:</strong></span></span>Since the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire, Zeus had permitted the worship of Olympian gods to dwindle, and thus Ares was no longer required to act as the god of warriors. Ares dissatisfied with Zeus's governance had sought to conquer Olympus on multiple occasions until his divine father became fed up. Zeus summoned the master hand of Hephaestus to create him a magical item that would contain the fury of his son. Hephaestus presented the item in the form of a necklace that would lock about the former God of War's neck and prevent him from rendering fatal blows on his enemies. If that didn’t sound worse enough, Athena suggested that he be reeducated except with mortal wisdom.<br/><br/>Ares was sentenced to earth under the human guise John Aaron to live the life of a normal student at Stormvalley High. Unknowingly to Zeus, he had perhaps cursed the school with a divine nuisance.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Personality:</strong></span></span>Around the high school, Ares is known to be a jerk and a bully. Every chance he gets, he can't help but cause a commotion for he is a catalyst of conflict. He loves a good fight and has the stamina to go on until it’s finished.<br/><br/>He is arrogant and cocky, often seeing himself bigger and more powerful than he really is. He dives head-first into a situation without thinking, which includes any violent altercation that may occur within his vicinity or on school grounds.<br/><br/>When it comes to sports, Ares is very competitive. He is a very sore loser and is the kind of guy to demand a rematch. He plays to win! He is quite the taunter when the outcome shifts in his favor.<br/><br/>The bully has some fame about the school. He has his own growing group of followers that he believes are a perfect substitute for the worshippers he once had long ago. They give him offerings in return for protection, and the good thing about it is he never has to spend a dime on lunch.<br/><br/>Contrary to his personality and which may seem unusual, Ares is a good listener. He's had practice over the years listening to the needs of his worshippers. He is always curious to hear what someone has to say whether he wants to hear it or not.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Teenage Qualities</span>– Rebelliousness, superiority complex, and believes that no one understands him (especially his father).<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Powers:</strong></span></span>"Superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. Ares is an immortal with an unending lifespan." - Marvel.com<br/><br/>-"Ares is a master of a variety of hand-to-hand combat skills and all weapons from clubs to firearms and explosives. He is well versed in military tactics, torture, combat engineering, and a vast amount of military history particularly focusing on battles and wars that involved Greek and Roman (or Italian) soldiers and armies (he's been in most of them). Ares is one of the most talented and ruthless soldiers that has ever fought on Earth." - paraphrased from Marvel.com –<br/><br/>More specifics on his abilities can be read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares_(Marvel_Comics))<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/HlySd/684290-fine_super1-1.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Fears and Weaknesses:</strong></span></span>"He can be wounded during battle, but due to his Olympian nature, he heals very quickly. Only an injury of such magnitude that it incinerates all or a portion of his bodily molecules could cause him physical death. He has also been shown to be injured by weapons of magical nature such as Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor." - Marvel.com<br/><br/>Due to the necklace around his neck, the God of War is incapable of killing anyone. He can beat them to a pulp, but is incapable of delivering the killing blow.<br/><br/>Ares is difficult to work with. The other gods don’t like him because of his stubbornness and refusal to change his mind once he’s made it up. Team work will be a very difficult quality for him to learn.<br/><br/>He fears that the accursed “collar” would forever be about his neck.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Desires and Aversions:</strong></span></span>Ares’s current desire is to have the damned collar removed from his damned neck, then perhaps he can escape Stormvalley High and bring hell to his father once again.<br/><br/>On the other hand, he loathes his brother Hercules, but doesn’t avoid him.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Demi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Controllable:</strong></span></span>Ares, with the right words, is easy to manipulate since all he cares about is war (conflict). He loves war, and usually will fight no matter what the reason, but has displayed countless times to only fight in self-interest. He has also shown interest in attractive women and isn’t afraid to spare a compliment.
