## Basic Information

㇐ ㇄ Name㇕ : Phobos

➣ Came from the Greek “Φόβος,” meaning “fear.”

㇐ ㇗ Alias | Alternate Name㇕ : War God of Fear

➣ Comes from the translation of his name, “Phobos.”

㇐ ㇗ Species | Ethnicity | Lineage㇕ : Greater Elder Demigod, Hermetic Greek, Spartan

➣ Offspring of Ares & Aphrodite according to Greek accounts

㇐ ㇗ Gender | Sexuality㇕ : Male, Bisexual

➣ Was more than socially accepted to be lovers of both man and woman for any individual; part of paganistic cultures.

㇐ ㇗ Age㇕ : 2,347 years

➣ Birth was around 325 B.C.

㇐ ㇗ Personality㇕ : Phobos at a first glance is just another enigmatically inscrutable veteran or elderly warrior. Although his skin and demeanor is youthful and vigorous, his methodology of combat as well as his level of wisdom is reminiscent of someone well beyond the bounds of his averred age. Although this is the case, with Phobos being an indeed intelligent and fearsome warrior who's tyrannical aura plagues the battlefield, Phobos stoic heart is riddled with the sensitivity that comes with the kinship of his fellow warriors, warlocks, and worshippers as well as … love.

➣ Combination of character elements from individuals like Joe from “Last of Us,” and Kratos from “God of War”

㇐ ㇗ Likes㇕ : Thoroughly enjoys the common art of war. Believes battles, the subsequent mini-games of war, should be carried out with the highest possible level of honor, dignity, and valor; meaning Phobos, surprisingly enough, believes there should be conventions in place of war even in case of crushing victories to preserve human-life. That being said, he still finds some sort of satisfaction in claiming victory through the implication of thought out plans and tactics. Phobos also loves: beef jerky, bread & salted butter, Greek pies, warrior courtship, as well as the people of Sparta.

➣ Reflective of some of the enjoyments ancient generals as well as common warriors enjoy even in times of war.

㇐ ㇗ Dislikes㇕ : As previously touched upon, Phobos is not a fan of losing; especially the loss of good men. This likely explains the aforementioned likeness towards conventions for war in order to minimize casualties as much as physically possible without sparing the severity of assaults. He also is a strong opposer towards the fixated idiocy of those who have never touched or witnessed the battlefield, as well as those who try to spread their legislature onto the battlefield without directly taking part.

➣ Loosely constructed based on morales of Confederate Generals of the States.

㇐ ㇗ Affiliations㇕ : The Elder Gods // Gods of War.

➣ Phobos and his brother are both sons of the archetypal God of War; known by many other monikers including: Ares, Mars, Sarutahiko, Kauriraris, Svetovid, Bandua, Belatucadros, Camulus, Neit, Rudianos & Segomo, Neto, Tyr, Laran, Qamaits, Nuxálk warrior goddess Winalagalis, Kwakwaka'wakw, etc. Also believed to be offspring of the Sky Father archetype, commonly known as “Nodens.”

### ㇗ WEAPONRY/ITEMS㇕

㇐ ㇗ Ανδρας Μπαλτάς [Man Cleaver]㇕ : A black long sword constructed of nearly black variant of Damascus steel lined with carbon nanotubes in order to drastically increase the blade's durability immensely. Allegedly the creator of the sword, a warlock of the Elder God archetype for blacksmith of the Gods, sharpened the blade using a blessed whetstone for three(3) days; this enkindled the blade to have a nearly supernatural aspect of being abnormally sharp. This weapon was originally made for a Lieutenant, turned hero of war, before being inherited by Phobos a week after the man's death.

## ☨ - Origin - ☨

Phobos is the demigod born son of the archetypal Elder God of War. He is also the offspring of the archetypal Elder Goddess of beauty, sexuality, feminine strength, combat, etc. known as Aphrodite but who's original caricature was Ishtar of Mesopotamia. Despite having two transcendentally divine parents, Phobos is characterized as only a demigod; due to the fact that Phobos has a twin brother, Deimos, their divine powers was split between the two of them causing their essence to be only one third(⅓) to one half(½) of there original.

Once they were conceived Phobos and his brother Deimos would be raised together in isolation alongside their father near a sanctuary in Sparta for some decades; they grew and matured quickly, given minimal sustenance and rest although through good behavior and theft they achieved a surplus. This also had the added side effect of grooming them into some of the most pristine of warriors. This would be the turning point in their lives when they achieved their sense of godhood. They would eventually accompany their father as warrior gods of panic, dread, and fear respectfully.

Through thick and thin he accompanied his father along with his brother and other kin as patron aspects of war and all its elements. Although primarily worshiped in Sparta over all else for some centuries he would eventually be more welcomed after being adopted by the Roman pantheon; considering Phobus was represented on the shield of Agamemnon, on the chest of Cypsellus, with the head of a lion. Meaning Phobos was likely worshiped in sovereign states such as Egypt as Anhur and Maahes. This was likely due to the somewhat frequent intermingling between Greece and Egypt; tales of Phobos as well as the appearance of Phobos himself likely inspired the tales of such fantastical imagery.

On that note Phobos is also fairly important for a different reason. His more intermingling with mortals; as a result he conceived a lineage of fearsome and powerful individuals. Nowadays this family is known as “The Romeno's” consisting of: Tiberius, Geto, and Pheleus. These individuals would eventually restrike the spark of divinity within their bloodline through means of occult rituals and tribunal massacres of both eldritch and hominid entities alike.
