Mars (Deity)

The God of the planet Mars, the embodiment of fire and war.
"Let the fires of war consume your soul." - Mars Before he ascended and took hold of the planet Mars, the deity now known by the same name was once known as Ares, the god of war. Ares was a celestial without a planet to call his own. Frustrated by this the god of war made plans to take control of his own planet, to do so he sought the help of the deity Venus. Venus who at the time was married to Vulcan, the god of fire and the current Mars, had grown bored with her husband and his jealous, overbearing attitude, so she decided to help Ares. The plan was for Venus and Ares to lay together and be caught by Vulcan. He would become so distraught and angry with Ares and Venus he would not hear the beckonings of his champions on Pangea asking for help as they were systematically wiped out by champions of Venus, who coaxed the location out of Vulcan the night before as they laid together. As Ares was enduring the celestial flames of Vulcan's wrath for having his wife, Vulcan's last champion was slain, removing all power from Vulcan and taking his godhood from him. As his divinity was stripped from him Ares took his opportunity and plunged his spear into Vulcan's chest impaling his heart. Ares then ripped Vulcan's still beating heart from his body and consumed it to complete his take over of the planet Mars. Because Vulcan was the god of fire and Ares consumed his heart, still burning with anger, Ares was consumed in holy flames after swallowing the cardiac organ, however Ares withstood the flames and emerged now as both the god of war and fire.

Personality
Mars is both the embodiment of fire and war, remember that before you cross him or one of his champions. Because of his temper he has become feared throughout the celestial realm for his firey wrath. Mars tends to pick mortals with similar personality to his to champion, ones that will not back down from a fight and show no mercy to an opponent. While he is willing to help his champions should they ask for a boon, he enjoys nothing more than to see his charges win on their own strength and will.
