Ares - God of War
Ares is the God of War. He is a prideful and aggressive deity, revelling in violence and bloodlust.
He can commonly be found warmongering and supporting promising warriors.
Ares is the offspring of Zeus and a presumed Nymph called Hera, a mother that they share with Hephaestus.
In times of old Ares would commonly be found overseeing battlefields, during the Bronze age he was accompanied into battle by his Demigod sons, Deimos and Phobos.
Ares is commonly worshipped by soldiers looking for favour before going into battle, or by gladiators looking for glory in battle.
In some Orcish culture, Ares is more commonly known as Gruumsh, the patron deity of Orcs.
Ares is commonly depicted as an extremely muscular figure, fully armoured, with helm and spear, ready for battle. They are usually depicted with dark skin and can appear as either a bearded masculine figure or buff feminine one.
In depictions of Gruumsh, he is always masculine with obscenely large tusks and covered in battle scars.
