Aries Maiestas (Son)

## Appearance

Arista was a fairly light-complected and attractive man with bright platinum blonde hair and piercing, dark, coal-black eyes, who almost appeared effeminate, as he had smooth skin, very long lashes, and long wavy hair with a set of thick, volumized, and long wispy bangs he often parted to each side of his face while letting a fair amount of them fall between his eyes. However, he was very tall with a Herculean physique.

## Personality

As any child, Arista started out as a very impressionable individual whose teachings of those around him, such as his father, both shaped and built him. In addition, the considerable amount of time he spent with his father, able to observe his formidable display of strength and purported wisdom, success, and unwavering pride in it as a result of the rigorous, unrelenting system he himself had been raised under, caused Arista to develop deep sense of reverence for him.

* (To Angelina) *"Mamá, what's wrong with Papá?"*
* (To Angelina, referring to Judas) *"Can I help him mamá? Why is he so sad? Can I make him feel better mamá?"*
* (To Iscios) *"Papá, why did you hit Mégal?"*
* (To Angelina, playfully) *"I'll save you mami!"*
* (To Iscios, referring to Eu-Meh) *"Papá, I can't bear to listen to her scream like that anymore. I'm worried papá, will she be alright?"*
* (To Eu-Meh) *"Don't touch me, get away from me! You're a damned **liar**. . . my father was right, you're nothing but a woman of **schemes**. You have no **power**! And—no, this is **your** fault. I defended you, that was a mistake."*
* (To Luca) *"Then square up. I'm gonna flip you like a rotisserie chicken."*
* (To Lysandra, referring to Luca) *"I just want to kill him. I want to mar his body and rip it apart, because only with his mere words, my love, he crushes me, and every day, I fear him."*
* (To Lysandra, referring to Aries) *"Please, dear, he's fine. I don't want to think about him right now. It's just so much pain all around. Pain, regret, and despair, and more pain."*
* (To Lysandra, referring to Aries, subsequently, in view of Theosalvadora) *"Just the thought of the boy twists my insides in all sorts of directions and makes me writhe in distress. It exhausts me, and I become drowsy, enfeeble, and cast down. I can't say I love the boy, because of his ineptitude. He makes me so angry. He has brought forth nothing but shame upon my name, and his birth is tainted by so much misery. But despite that, despite all of it, I pity him, and I feel pangs of sorrow for what I have done to him. His face reminds me of a woeful kitten, stuck in a narrow canister. And what makes it worse, is that sometimes as I look at him, I even see her again. I see my little one, my girl. And then I see the both of them, in a perfect world, my little girl, and my little boy, running around and playing together. I know that he hates me, but what can I do to reverse that? It does sadden me, greatly, but then, he just makes me so angry again, and I hate him all over again."*
* (To Lysandra, referring to Aries) *"I never liked it when anyone else scorned him, even as I had done it myself. For some reason, it evoked feelings of even greater anger from within me. I wanted to kill whoever else mocked him, and I did. I didn't want him to hear that from others. I didn't want them to think they could speak to him like that. I wanted to protect him."*
* (To Aries) *"Keep squeaking in that goddamned **tone** boy, I ought to bust your lips to a bloody humiliating pulp. As if you weren't already a gross humiliation to begin with."*
* (To Aries) *"Ha! You fool! You can't even **sire**!"*
