Appearance and Personality~
Picture OR description: Ares is a rather plain person to most who see him, he most outstanding feature is his hair, it is a dark red that stands out against most peoples but that is about it. He combs the majority of his hair back though he leaves his bangs hanging over his forehead a bit so he has the tiniest bit of style. He keeps his hair in check with a low ponytail crudely made from some strings. His eyes are a sickly yellow color almost like that you would see in a cat's eyes, often they are half closed as if he is nodding off to sleep though this is just how he keeps them comfortable. His skin is a light pale color, though he spends his time out in the sun often he does not tan well at all, his body due to training often is slim and athletic. His body is toned slightly but not overly as someone who works out just to build muscle constantly, it merely shows he is a hard worker when he finds something he needs to train. Across his stomach which is often hidden from the view of others is a jagged scarring pattern that seems to have been inflicted by an animal of some sort.

Ares chooses to wear rather formal clothing, even on missions he finds that formal or traditional clothing works for both business and pleasure giving him the added benefit of being quite comfy upon his skin. His upper body wear is just a simple vest like piece of clothing that fits over his shoulders and ties together in the middle so it does not fall from his body it is white and red to match his hair and skin quite well. Around his midsection Ares has wrapped white and red cloth around his body to hide his stomach completely from the eyes of everyone else. Around both his forearms he has also wrapped white cloth to hide them from view, his lower body is covered by a pair of black kung fu pants black in color and baggy to move easily in. To the surprise of most Ares often does not wear shoes, he prefers the feeling of having the ground against his feet without the barrier of shoes.


Personality: Ares seems to possess traits from both his parents and can almost pick them out to the letter. Actually anyone who knows the family could very much do the same. His kind caring heart comes directly from his father. His need for freedom, outspoken nature, and wild side from his mother. His playful side also seems to come from her. He holds a sense of justice, a need to help those in trouble, right the wrongs he comes across, and protect those who can‘t do for themselves seems to come from them both.

Ares loves hanging out with his friends and goofing off whenever he can get the chance, but his mood can quickly shift into a menacing trouble just as quick. Even roughhousing a bit which he knows he got from his mother. He considers himself smart, but surely wouldn't call himself a tactician. Instead of hiding in the shadows to see what his opponent is capable of, he rather go at him right out and find out first hand. His intellect does show in his creativity on the battlefield. He’s the type to sacrifice himself and take the blunt of the attack while others think of ways around things. He is a ninja and does understand the need for stealth and observation but it just isn‘t something he’ll use often. In truth, he looks to raw power as a key necessity in battle more so than deceit or use of facades.

He would much rather go at things by himself most of the time. Not because he doesn't like people, but he couldn't bare it if someone got hurt because of him. He also understands the importance of teamwork and following orders. At the same time he‘s known for adjusting them for the situation and doing what the moment calls for. With the recent events, he has a strong desire to prove his strength which can often cause him to over do things. When he is alone he could always be found on the roof of his home or of the tallest structure nearby.

Ares has enjoyed looking off into the distance or even up at the sky since he came to Kumogakure. It’s those times he allows himself to explore the places he can‘t while confined within the village. If not that then he picks those spots to meditate even if they seem to be the same. He holds no illusion of being the best or becoming perfect, he just knows what he can do and pushes himself to that image of self worth and approval.

Socially, despite his oddities, Ares gets along with other people very well, and is in fact quite social. He makes friends easily and does every once in awhile chase girls around, though his odd sense of humor and deep thoughtfulness can be a bit off-putting. Regardless of his empathy, Ares has a very strong moral code. Ares has a deep respect for the law of his Village, and while he is not in general a violent person, he does not hesitate to do what is necessary to uphold those laws.

History(optional)~
History:

Pre-academy:

Before his time of training to become a shinobi Ares was a normal child like any other, he went and played around and had his fun, he never thought about important things as he had no reason to for the adults could do that. His parents were good to him, he grew up in his childhood quite content to be with them and hoped it would continue on like this forever, but as everyone knows the good times can never last in this cruel world. Originally Ares lived in Iwa this was of course before the once proud village was turned into a ghost town, his parents both came home rushing in one day as he sat at home coloring in a small book by himself as they told him to wait there. They came in panicked and that in turn made Ares wonder what was going on, soon enough his curiosity turned to fear as he saw the tensed bodied and worried looks upon their faces.

The massacre of Iwa's people had already begun that day, there were very few that even realized what was going on and Ares parents were two of the few and rushed to save their son. They took him from their home right away, only to run into the very thing that was massacring their people, it stood right in their way now almost as if it had known they would run away. Ares father did not hesitate for a moment he threw himself at the monster that had chosen to claim their fellow villagers and friends lives, at the same time he told Ares mother to run and save him before it took care of him. His father sacrificed himself that day knowing that he would die, but he found himself at peace knowing that his family would escape from their village to safety that was worth it he thought as he died. Ares was too little at the time to really know that his father was gone but the sight of his father rushing the monster so that they might escape was burned into his memory and it is most of the reason that Ares is the way he is.

With the monster distracted Ares mother carried him from the village in her arms, they ran into the patrol that Kumo sent days later to investigate what had happened. His mother had not stopped for even a moment, Ares ate and slept in her arms as she carried him without complaint, as the ran into fellow shinobi she collapsed. The Kumo shinobi sent two of them back carrying both Ares and his mother back to the village, there they were told that Ares mother was dying, she had not eaten or drank anything for days while at the same time she had carried a child at full speed. Normally they could save her easily, but it was not so simple because now that her son was safe the full mental impact of her husband and lover was dead hit her mind, she had lost the will to live. Refusing to eat or drink anything Ares mother died several days later in her sleep leaving Ares as an orphan, at this point Ares had not a clue that Kumo was a potential enemy village he thought they were nice people. Usually Kumo would have simply turned him out to die because the Iwa shinobi were taught to be heartless but Ares had not even been in the academy yet so they allowed him to be adopted by a family within Kumo.

Academy Arc:

Once Ares was old enough to join the academy there was a long debate on whether or not Ares should be allowed to train as a shinobi, but after careful consideration the elders decided that though he came from another village he was not a threat to them as he grew up in Kumo as well. They found that he did quite well in the academy as they of course monitored him, he was not the star of the classes but he was in the top five often. He hard work and dedication came from his parents, the fact that they were so willing to give for him made him want to be just a good as they were in skill and in heart, so he constantly trained himself to get the edge whenever he could. His days in the academy were uneventful except for one tiny thing, Ares found that the majority of the other students could make him scared as he was on the day that Iwa was massacred.

So in the hopes that he could find something like that Ares went out searching for something that could, he went into the deep woods to try and find said thing. And he found it though he did not realize it at the time, it was a wolf but this was no ordinary wolf, it was seasoned and scarred from countless battles from other animals. It was wary of him even though he was but a child, Ares thought maybe he would play with the wolf a bit, just tease it as he had the dogs in the village before, but as he got close the wolf attacked without mercy. Ares who had expected a docile opponent was caught off guard by the ferociousness of the wolf, he had not a chance to react as the wolf bowled him over in an instant and dug it's hind claws into his stomach roughly tearing into the skin. Ares cried out in agony as the claws were not so sharp but still could rend flesh from bone, he used all his strength to push the wolf off him and stood up clutching at his stomach which bled freely now.

It was by chance that Ares was saved by a squad of genin and their sensei, they had just come back from a mission, they saw the encounter briefly and thought it was a small animal that the wolf had attacked. But when they saw Ares push the wolf on they came in to help him, the wolf was soon on the ground growling but trapped and as one of the genin went to finish it Ares yelled for him to stop. Ares did not feel right as he had challenged the wolf and underestimated his ability, he had lost by all rights and asked that they released the wolf. The entire squad found that to be quite odd but they complied with his request, releasing the wolf and then the sensei healed him with a minor medical jutsu though the marks did not completely disappear a jagged pattern runs across his stomach even to the present day. Soon after Ares was back to his tip top form, with a new perspective on everything, he would no longer consider himself to be better then others or underestimate them. With an allotted time passing Ares graduated soon enough and entered the ranks of the genin.
