Ares Headcanons:
Hi, he’s pretty much my weird baby I’ve attached to.
Ares is the absolute best combination of Zeus and Hera possible, but with a vibe that’s from neither of them.
He was always tall, even for a god. Tall and really, really shy. At two he would just curl up with his face right in the golden streets like a rolly polly when spoken to by adults. He was judged/teased because he always looked older than his age. Poseidon especially was loud and frightening.
Still an all around awkward guy. Just like. Didn’t figure out that whole small talk thing. Fortunately, around the age of five he discovered that violence is, in fact, the answer.
He grew up swole and in control. Just a huge man. Chest and shoulders like a yacht. Prominent Roman nose. Like a hunky Professor Snape.
Low gravelly voice. Actually he has chronic dry mouth and that’s why it’s hoarse. As I’ve mentioned before, Ares has the largest feet of all the gods. He has some super ugly flip flops from Walmart he wears around the house.
With all this brooding masculinity going on, Ares surely has beautiful black hair which he wears long and wavy. Sometimes in a cute bun. :3
A family man. Loyal to his parents. Constantly doing little favors for Hera. Shows up early to every single one of Eros’s little league games even though honestly he kinda sucks. He’d probably take your trash out or pick your kids up from school.
Deeply devoted to Eros when he was born. Aphrodite had a rough delivery and a lot of the care fell to Ares.
As I’ve mentioned before, Ares is one sharp dude. Prefers his Greek armor even today. Favors red cloaks and those Roman breastplates with the fake abs.
Ares created the rose. He was just at a loss to express himself to her. So he broke his heart in two and formed one half into a blood red flower.
He just really likes kicking people. It makes him feel something.
