Mars

* Modern
* Primal
* Roman Armor

*"The ancient Greeks understood that war is a god. A god that requires human sacrifice. And in exchange, war gives man purpose, meaning, a chance to rise above his petty, mortal little self and be courageous, noble, better!"*
—Mars
**Mars**, known to the public as **Oswald Sigfried Silvia**, is a belligerent villain, ruthless venture capitalist, and tyrannical dictator of the Eastern European country of Zergarvia.

Mars' soul is intertwined with the essence of a primordial deity that is as old as humanity, which is best described as the very embodiment of War. Wherever he goes, a massive tidal wave of strife and conflict follows in his wake, in any and all forms of day-to-day life. Mars' passive ability to induce violence has been shown to affect a mere room full of people, or an entire city. It also extends into other areas aside from just forcing people to fight to the death, as he's been shown the ability to cause criminal underworld lords to go against each other and waste all their resources, force Stock Market changes by influencing brokers into bidding and selling recklessly, and the like.

Mars supposedly is as old as humanity itself, however it's unclear if this means he's actually immortal, or if he's just been reincarnated through hundreds of past lives. Whatever the case, his knowledge is vast and unending, and those who have looked into his mind and soul have been stricken with horrible memories of wars, atrocities, and unending violence over several millennia. Mars claims to have been several historic conquerors throughout history, such as Atilla the Hun, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Pharaoh Thutmose III, Ashoka the Great, and dozens of others.

## Biography

### Reincarnation

It's believed that Mars and his family, since the very beginning of mankind, have continuously reincarnated throughout history and up into the modern day, with both Mars, and other family members of his being able to recall moments of past lives.

#### Youth

Born in the heart of Scotland, Mars's birth was the result of rape alone. Jupiter, his father, had gotten drunk after his wife had passed. While drunk, he absentmindedly raped Juno, who became Mars's mother. In fear of being confined, Jupiter abducted Juno before Mars was born and fled to Rome.

In Rome, Jupiter ran into Maxwell Nakamura, who told him that he could manipulate memories. Jupiter paid Nakamura to replace Juno's memory of being raped by him with a few memories of them falling in love. After a few days, he could not stand the guilt, so he asked Nakamura to replace his memory of raping Juno with a few memories of them falling in love. Nakamura did so both times. Soon after, Mars was born.

#### Losing his Parents

Mars lived a normal life for his first nineteen years, but an abrupt event changed that course. One morning, Mars woke up and his parents were gone. Mars reported their disappearance to the police, which he would soon learn was a grave mistake.

The police were successful in tracking down his parents, but their job was not done. The police recognized Jupiter as the man who had raped Juno, and planned to arrest him when Juno intervened. Juno insisted that instead of arresting Jupiter, they instead confine him to the treacherous island of Dystopia. After much convincing, the police agreed. Mars, fearing his father's safety on Dystopia alone, declared that he would accompany him.

### Visit to Dystopia

#### Embodiment of War

Mars's days on Dystopia were not easy. To live, he had to be someone else. Someone that in his past, he could never identify with. He had to be strong, courageous, and feral. He had to be an embodiment, the embodiment of war.

Jupiter and Mars failed miserably at this for their first few months there. They were pathetic and weak. One day, a woman who went by the name Prophet came and aided their survival on Dystopia. She wore a large bowler hat, ski mask, black suit, black gloves, and tennis shoes. With Prophet, they became everything they wanted to be: war itself.

#### Leading Savages

It was soon time for Prophet to leave. They didn't need her anymore, so they parted. Jupiter and Mars soon ran into many chaotic civilizations of savages. They were at war almost every second. About every day, somebody left to go to the rival side. They needed a leader.

When Jupiter and Mars joined the lives of the savages, everything started to change. They were amazed at the skill of Jupiter and Mars. So amazed, they began to worship them. Mars became known as **Mars**, while Jupiter stayed with his name. With Jupiter and Mars as their new leaders, the savages of Dystopia became what they had always wanted to be: a regular civilization.

#### Meeting Rhea

When March came, the month of Mars's birthday, they had huge festivals all month celebrating the change Jupiter and Mars brought upon them. One specific festival, Mars met **Rhea Silvia**. Rhea understood and sympathized with Mars. They were the perfect match. Their love story quickly began. As the love stories of Rhea and Mars began, the story of Jupiter was about to end.

#### Death of Jupiter

The following night, Jupiter was shot with a 700 grain bullet, leaving a very visible wound. It was an instant fatality, leaving Jupiter only mere minutes of his remaining life.

The event filled Mars with fury. Letting out a beastly roar, Mars lunged at the murderer like a starved tiger. This sparked an outlandish event to occur. The sun rose in the dead of night, and Mars was granted the strength and power of a god. The murderer was revealed to be Stain, but Mars was unaware of this at that point in time.

#### Dueling Stain

Mars mangled Stain without mercy. With incredible speed, Stain was temporarily blinded by Mars's light. A long battle ensued between the two men, with the end result being Stain fleeing before he could be slaughtered by the vindictive Mars.

#### Leaving Dystopia

After the death of his father, Mars realized that he was free to leave Dystopia. Mars led his army of savages to the Manipulative Intelligence Agency's headquarters to fashion a ship. This is where he met Logan Trent. Logan, being the most reliable engineer on Dystopia, was Mars's only hope of leaving the treacherous land.

Despite Mars's offer of money, Logan refused to build him a ship. Mars changed his methods and threatened the things he loved to make him build a ship. It took time, but eventually Logan gave in and built Mars and his army a ship. They immediately set sail for the United States of America.

### Business Life

#### Billionaire

When the driver of the ship yelled "Land ho!", Rhea and Mars would be parents to two boys, **Romulus** and **Remus**, within a few days. Mars decided to become a stock trader. He never made any amazing sum of money, but he did well enough to support himself and his family. Suddenly, one day at the market, Prophet returned.

Prophet told Mars which stocks would go up in amazing profits. Mars was skeptical at first. His suspicion was shattered like glass when the first stock that Prophet had said suddenly shot up, causing chaos in the market. Mars took action and purchased all the trades that Prophet had listed. In the span of less than an hour, Mars had become a multi-billionaire.

Dazed and confused, Mars disappeared for weeks. During his absence, he moved to the heart of Scotland, near his birthplace. Mars was shocked about the stunning event with Prophet. He was in this stupefied state for six weeks. After he made his recovery, Mars returned to America and invested in various companies, which rose his riches to even higher sums.

#### Prime Profits

After much experience in the business world, Mars founded his own company called Prime Profits, which became a world-renowned auction market, in which only the most wealthy could compete in. Prime Profits was known for their rarities. After years of success in the marketing world, Mars passed on Prime Profits to Romulus and Remus. Mars knew Dystopia had changed him, and as much as he hated his true nature, he knew he had to embrace it. He disappeared to another city where he became known as the villain Mars.

### The God of War

#### Meeting Cody Nakamura

One day, at an airport, Mars bumped into a man by the name of Cody Nakamura and his friend. Mars questioned why they were walking home, and Cody revealed that they had no car. Astonished, Mars offered them a ride in his car, and the two gladly accepted.

Mars asked for their address then rolled up to their house, and it went up in flames. Mars drove past their house and took them on a tedious long drive, including a bumpy drive across a bridge, to Mexico. Mars led them to a hotel and got a room for three. He told them that if they wanted to return home, they must nuke the capital of Mexico. When they finished, Mars was gone, the hotel room was occupied by someone else, they had no money and they had nowhere to sleep but on the streets.

#### Godpin

Mars would continue his ascent to the top of the criminal underworld, crushing those who stood in his way, and all others being comparable to ants, attempting to fight back against the sun. Due in part to his personal power, and massive influence, there was no one that could stop Mars's rise to the top. Be them a criminal, hero, politician, or world leader. Whatever Mars set his eyes on, he would take it no matter what.

### Conquest of Zergarvia

By 2020, Mars had managed to press the entire criminal underworld between his thumb, and quickly grew bored. He had once dominated the business world, establishing himself as one of the wealthiest men on Earth, then he would conquer the underworld, proving his ferocity even further. However, it was not enough. It was never enough for the man named Mars. He craved power, and he would do whatever it took to get that power.

On August 20th 2020, what would appear to be a massive private military, made up of hundreds of mercenaries and trained killers would invade the Sovereign Nation of Zergarvia. With no preparation whatsoever for such a swift and brutal attack, the small Eastern European nation stood no chance against the invaders. The force would occupy the capital city of Norringrad, where the democratically elected President was held captive, with no reason given as to why the country had been invaded and occupied.

Eventually though, he would get his answer. After several hours, and night began to fall, Mars walked into the main chamber of the former castle-turned parliamentary building where the President, and other elected officials were held. Mars explained to the President that from that day on, he would be installed as the new King of Zergarvia, and he and the other MPs could act under him. The President appeared baffled, and in a state of shock, lashed out at Mars. This would result in Mars crushing the President's head with his left hand, and then ordering the mercenaries to gun down the remaining government officials.

Within the following weeks, the entire government of Zergarvia was built from the ground up. What had once been a democratic republic had become an autocratic sovereign nation, with Mars as it's monarch. He easily, and quickly replaced the government officials with newly elected representatives that were Pro-Mars. Western countries would heavily oppose Mars's claim to sovereignty, however he would sway a majority of allies with promises of single-handedly re-invigorating the global economy, and rich, fulfilling alliances.

## Personality

*"Peace is only an armistice in an endless war."*
—Mars quoting Thucydides
Mars is extremely violent, bloodthirsty, selfish, sinister, and egregiously malevolent. He has a fondness for battle, and takes his philosophy about war and conflict as a way to test the strength of mankind to heart. He is also an extremely ruthless individual, willing to do whatever it takes to win, and conquer any situation. He has applied these personality traits into all aspects of his life, from battle, to business, and even politics.

He is incredibly self-important, and feels that no one else on Earth is his equal in any aspect. He has an incredibly huge sense of pride, dignity, and self-regard. He is also quick to enrage, and rather than expressing feelings, he resorts immediately to violence.

## Physical Appearance

Despite being over 130+ years old, he appears to be in his early to mid 40s. Mars is a monster of a man, standing at 8'1 and weighing in at about 540 pounds. He dwarfs practically any and everyone he has ever met, and is capable of wrestling with the likes of bears, lions, Siberian tigers, and Gorillas. Mars' arms and legs are unimaginably massive, with his biceps measuring in at 52 inches. Despite his massive size, Mars is always seen in high-class, extremely expensive name-brand clothing that is custom ordered and tailored for his inhuman figure. Mars' sports short hair that is a darkened, but crisp brown, however he has and will let it grow out to be shoulder length or even longer. Alongside his hair, he prefers to keep a full, well-trimmed beard. He has a scar on his left eyebrow that forms a natural slit. He also has sun-kissed, light brown, tanned skin.

Almost at all times, Mars will be found wearing custom-tailored three piece suits that he has commissioned from world famous tailors that are usually priced between $35,000-$60,000 in US Dollars. While doing physical activity, such as fighting, Mars will carefully remove his jacket and roll up his sleeves. When he goes berserk, the suits usually end up getting destroyed, and Mars will be covered in ragged clothing.

At times, Mars will also don special armors for battle purposes.
