Ares

Ares is a highly trained tactician for the scavenger population and holds the rank of an elite.

## Appearance

Ares' body is notably darker compared to most scavengers who are below him or hold the same rank, the colour of his eyes are a crimson red, he also appears to be more muscular. His vulture mask is a lighter shade of a dark, grey-like colour. The left eye socket for said vulture mask has three red slashes spanning across it. On the forehead of the vulture mask is the number '13' written in roman numerals, signifying the amount of creatures he has killed so far. Parts of his body seems to have scars of sorts on them. Such affected body parts include: three slash-like patterns on his chest, one on his left arm, and another on the palm of his right hand.

## Background

A fierce, bitter and tactical elite scavenger passed down from a highly respected lineage. Unlike the rest of his tribesmen who hold the same rank, he does not wander the dangerous environment alone and instead, leads his own pack of regular scavengers to aid him in battle. He believes coordination and teamwork with your fellow tribesmen is key to maximising the odds of your survival as it has proven to be successful numerous times in bringing down even the ravenous apex predators that roam the land. Most of his childhood was spent either through intense, gruelling training that pushed him to his limits, or conversing with the elders within the tribe. The final step to truly become an elite among the tribe's ranks for him was to challenge and win against an already established elite, as well as singlehandedly killing a vulture and taking its mask from its deceased body. His life saw much, significant success in both the tribe and himself upon becoming an elite, as he stood out among the others due to his highly efficient tactics with working alongside regular scavengers. However, that soon changed him completely after witnessing the chieftain of the tribe, the very one he looked up to perish in front of him by none other than a bloodthirsty slugcat out for revenge. To this day, that moment stuck to him like a burning memory playing constantly in his head. The end of a golden age for the scavengers, all gone in one single decisive battle. Naturally, his frustration and hatred towards the slugcat kin gradually grew, to the point where he couldn't walk past one without hurling a fist into their face out of pure anger..

## Personality

Extremely wary and cautious of his surroundings unlike some of his fellow tribesmen, he leads scavenger packs into victory proudly. He is extremely patriotic towards the scavenger population. He's also been shown to be traumatised to a certain degree, as he had witnessed the battle that took place between Artificer and the Chieftain and became visibly upset what had happened in the aftermath. He tends to be notably hostile towards slugcats, and will (quite literally) punch them in the face as he walks by.

## Trivia

* He works out in his free time, giving him things such as having a stronger grip on poles, jumping further, as well as punching anything that gets too close for comfort.
* Only leads packs of scavengers when going out to hunt for food or a creature. When scouting, he tends to go by himself.
* Ares is in his 30s.
* He **was** in possession of a singularity bomb. This changed however, as he was forced to use it on a trio of red centipedes making chase.
