> Show me your blood, wretched being!
>
> Ares' catchphrase.

Ares (アレス), or **Mars** (火星), The Bringer of War (戦争をもたらす者), is the God of War (戦争の神), God of Bloodlust (血に飢えたの神), God of Battle Lust (戦いの欲望の神), God of Bloodshed (流血の神), God of Violence (暴力の神), God of Cannibals (人食いの神), God of Masculinity (男らしさの神), God of Murder (殺人の神), God of Courage (勇気の神), God of Civil Order (市民秩序の神), God of Rage (怒りの神), Master of Taunts (挑発の達人) and also the Prince of the Gods (神々の王子). During the Animal-Human War he was the War General (戦争将軍). His animal symbol are a boar, a dog, a wolf and a vulture.

## Background

Ares was the God of War, son of Zeus and Hera, and one of the most prominent and powerful Gods of Olympus. He was born during the Animal-Human War and served his father faithfully for many years.

## Personality

Being the god of war, violence and bloodshed, Ares is very fond of his powers. He likes bringing havoc to the world. He is a bloodthirsty god, which led to him killing others just to see their blood of these "wretched beings" which he calls his opponents. He is highly blood-hungry. As the god of bloodlust, he is impulsive, bloodthirsty, and eventually became a warrior raring for a fight regardless of the consequences. This led him into easy defeats by strategic warriors, like Athena, his half-sister and rival.

## Appearance

Just like the statue of Heracles, his statue is shown as a cat wearing a helmet, like a western imperial knight. In his true human form, Ares wears a helmet and has a sword. He is a muscular youthful man.

## Abilities

As the God of War, Ares possessed a formidable arsenal of superhuman and magical abilities - all in correlation with combat and warfare, as these were his spheres of influence. As an Olympian prince and firstborn son of Zeus, his powers were considerably stronger than lesser gods. Befitting his name, Ares was a mighty fighter and one of the most powerful Olympian Gods, possibly equal to or even exceeding his uncles in power who were second only to Zeus himself.

### Dimensiokinesis

Ares was able to create pocket universes that he could control completely. He is able to trap others in his own mind, and almost break their spirit. However, the pocket universe seemed to be made in their heads instead of an actual physical dimension.

### Enhanced Senses

Ares was able to sense while being dozens of miles away.

### Immortality

As a god, Ares was innately immortal; neither aging beyond his prime nor succumbing to mortal frailty such as disease or impotence of any sort. As a Greek God, he can't be killed in any way, even when chopped into pieces, in the case of his grandfather the titan lord Cronus.

### Superhuman Strength

As a God of War and Zeus' firstborn son, Ares has immense levels of godly strength, which allows him to be able to crush buildings effortlessly, make the ground shake by stomping. As the God of War, Ares possesses colossal physical strength. He was shown relying greatly on his physical strength, kicking his opponents so hard that he could smash them through a sand dune over several feet. He also managed to remain alongside his fellow Olympians in their battle against Typhon, which lasted several days while his brothers, Hephaestus and Dionysus, were taken out, attributing to his strength, as the Storm Giant was possibly the strongest being of all time.

### Superhuman Durability

Ares possesses incredible durability as a God of War. He can withstand an immense amount of punishment including being impaled his own back protrusions which only infuriated him more.

### Power Bestowal

Ares was able to grant the chosen warrior with a large variety of abilities and weapons, a power common among the Gods. It was he who gave Kratos his original blades, the Blades of Chaos. He also granted the Redeemed Warrior, if he chose to follow him, the highest amount of attack power as well as the ability to empower their weapons with fire to burn enemies.

### Pyrokinesis

Ares possessed the ability to manipulate fire, in every way possible. Ares was able to infuse it in his weapons, throw fireballs from his hands, and ignited people at will. Ares often used that ability to kill those who opposed him. The flames in his eye sockets also intensify when he is angered. Ares creates a wall of flames that incinerates anything with a mere gesture. However, he does not possess the command over fire his brother has, nor is he immune to its power.

### Astral Projection

Ares was able to project an image of himself out of the fire.

### Shapeshifting

As an Olympian, Ares was able to alter his appearance at will.

### Size Alteration

Ares was able to alter his size, and often increased it to titanic proportions.

### Transformation

Ares was able to sprout large, spider-like protrusions from his back that could be used in combat to hit and impale his enemies.

### Telepathy

Ares was able to talk to people through their minds, without physically getting involved with his target. He can even do this after creating his pocket dimension.

### Telekinesis

Ares was able to move objects and people with his mind and did that on a massive scale.

### Teleportation

Ares was able to teleport all around the area very quickly.

### Geokinesis

Ares would occasionally summon enormous volcanic rock structures.

### War Embodiment

As the God of War, Ares was the embodiment of War itself and was able to draw power from it. In combination with his other abilities, Ares was able to lay waste to huge armies with little to no effort.

### Weapon Creation

Ares has shown the ability to materialize various weapons such as a gigantic war hammer, an axe, and a sword, all of which were enveloped in flames.

### Enhanced Marksmanship

As a god of war, he possessed a greater level of marksmanship.

### Master Combatant

As a God of War, Ares was the most imposing and skilled warrior of Olympus, surpassed possibly only by his father and uncles. He has mastered all weapons used in the war which coupled with his godly powers and physical prowess makes him even more formidable.

### Prowess in Battle

As the God of War, Ares is an extremely fierce warrior, as well as a master of both armed and unarmed combat. However, his occasional tendency to underestimate his opponents and start toying with them has caused him to suffer defeats. Ares participated in the battle between the Olympians and Typhon and managed to wound the colossal Storm Giant in the nose with his sword. Ares affects mortals into running away from his fights, he is a kind of a chump on Olympus as even Apollo beat him in once.

### Battle Precognition

Ares seems to have a sixth sense regarding the trajectory of assaults in the heat of combat. Ares managed to perfectly position his blocks before his opponents could even swing his sword. Ares seemed to know exactly what he was going to do the moment before he did it.

### Tracking Skills

Ares was one of the four gods Zeus sent to hunt down his Master Bolt when it was initially stolen, demonstrating Zeus' faith in his abilities.

### Powerful Roar

When Ares was wounded by Diomedes and Athena, he roared so loud it sounded *"*ten thousand men*"*. Ares' roar blasted the sea back from him, leaving a wet circle of sand 50 feet wide.

### Warfare Expertise

As the God of War, Ares is an expert in all areas of warfare.

### War Manipulation

As the God of War, Ares has the power to manipulate war, strife, combat, and other forms of conflict - all to a highly advanced level. Through this power, he is able to influence all forms of conflict, including mental, physical, spiritual, and conceptual ones, regardless of the area and numbers involved, and he could even control how they progress and draw power both from the conflict alone as well as the dying. Ares could also start conflicts by influencing people or events, raise personal and fanatical armies, control and create weapons of every kind and even grant others extensive abilities of combat (such as Hippolyta's golden girdle). Ares is naturally, extremely skilled in all forms of fighting, weapons and both strategy and tactics as well as statistics of war. Ares has the incredible power to invoke war and chaos within an enormously large radius, ranging from a city to an entire continent. With this power, he has full control of the city or continent that is in war and chaos at the time.

### Telumkinesis

As the God of War, Ares has a great amount of control over weapons.

#### Weapon Conjuration

Although his symbol of power is his spear, he can transform it into seemingly any handheld weapon conceivable, including a "huge" hunting knife, an aluminum baseball bat, a Late Medieval two-handed greatsword, and a shotgun.

#### Weapon Transformation

He can transform weapons into something far less threatening.

#### Disarmament

He can disarm his opponents with a gesture.

#### Weapon Omniscience

He knows everything about a weapon when he sees it.

### Odikinesis

Ares has control over feelings and emotions of war such as hate and rage, and frequently induces them in order to start fights. His opponents always feel angry in his presence, as if they wanted to hit a wall or pick a fight with somebody. Even just looking at the god's temple make others angry.

### Necromancy

The spirits on the losing side of every war owe a tribute to Ares - he presented her with a ship full of perfectly obedient Confederate skeleton warriors.

### Ares' Blessing

Ares' blessing, which is only bestowed upon people who show unflinching courage or bloodlust on the battlefield, grants the person who receives it superhuman strength and near-invulnerability. After Ares had blessed his warriors they seemed to be unstoppable, destroying anything else in their path as they would charge through the battlefield.

### Reality Warping

Ares explained that he altered the magical connection between Zeus' Master Bolt and its sheath.

### Forceful Transformation

Ares had an infamous reputation of transforming his enemies or those who had offended him into serpents. However, he has also been shown to utilize this ability as a way of rewarding.

### Control of Animals

Ares can summon and control animals that are sacred to him, such as vultures and wild boars.

### Weaknesses

As the god of bloodlust, he is impulsive, bloodthirsty, and eventually became a warrior raring for a fight regardless of the consequences. This led him into easy defeats by strategic warriors, like Athena, his half-sister and rival. Also, since he can use fire, much more limited compared to his younger brother Hephaestus, he is weak to water, which causes extinguishment, and lightning as he is weak to electrocution since he has an armor that is a good electrical conductor.

## Rise of Kingdoms

As mentioned by Little Micro D, Ares has unexpectedly brought war to the world during the timeline of Rise of Kingdoms.

## Twin Shot

### Statue

In the Poki game Twin Shot, Heracles was neither mentioned nor seen physically, but a statue was shown facing a statue of that of Heracles, at the ground of a Greek-styled building. Ares, along with Zeus, Heracles and Hades (who was replacing Kratos' part) are on a mission in order to fight off Satan.

### Demonomachy I

During the Demonomachy I, Ares, along with Zeus, Heracles and Hades (who was replacing Kratos' part) are on a mission in order to fight Satan. As they encounters Satan, Zeus blasted Satan with lightning bolts and teleported multiple times, but was knocked back by the demon. Despite critically injured, he encouraged his fellow gods to fight back, which made Heracles and Ares knocking Satan's feet, strongly harming the latter. As Hades was about to claim the demon's soul, Zeus delivers his fatal blow on the heart of the demon, killing him.

## Twin Shot II: Good & Evil

### Demonomachy II

During Beelzebub’s uprising, they went to destroy the demon, except this time Hades effortlessly stole the demon's soul, disappointing Ares and the other gods.

## Trivia

* Ares is the Greek equivalent to multiple gods:
	+ Mars, the Roman god of war.
	+ Hachiman, the Shinto god of war and warriors.
* Ares, in ancient Greek religion, eldest son of Zeus, a war and battle god who was identical with the Roman god Mars.
* His Roman name, Mars, is the name of the fourth planet of the Solar System, following Earth and followed by Jupiter.
* Mars was named by the ancient Romans for their god of war because its reddish color was reminiscent of blood.
* Based on The Planets Suite Op. 32 composed by Gustav Holst, Ares' Roman name Mars is the first movement and is named as the Bringer of War.
* The Greeks likely adapted this Babylonian nomenclature, calling the planet Pyroeis (Greek for “fiery”; think pyro), identified with Ares. The Romans then adapted the Greek names to their own pantheon, naming the fourth planet after their god of war, Mars.
