The Roman Mars is VERY different from the Greek Ares, so let's just get that straight right up front. He's the father of Romulus and Remus, protector of cattle, and god of agriculture and war. He's also an easy-going, hulking, fighting, good ol' country boy who is only interested in raising cattle, farming, and his favorite sport: war. (He thinks football would be a pretty good sport if they tossed a sword or two in there.)

Obviously, since he's the outdoorsy type, he's in good physical condition. He's tall, slender, and muscular ... and probably tanned or sometimes sunburnt. He has brown hair and, oh, I don't know ... green eyes. (Depends on his mood.) As you'll be able to tell by the squabbling that goes on between him and his sister Venus, the two of them are still fairly young adults...as far as gods go, anyway.

Being a muscular, decently good-looking young male, there are women who find Mars attractive. Venus is not among them. Like all siblings, she finds every flaw in her brother she can and then exaggerates it — her favorite barb being that he's thick, especially where women are concerned. However, while Mars may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, he's not stupid (as Venus claims he is) — you don't survive and hold you're own in HIS family if you're stupid. No, Mars is just too much into the things he's responsible for (as a god) to take much notice of women, even when they're flirting with him. Okay, well, occasionally he notices. For example, if Boadicea were to show up at the Four Corners, I'm sure he'd notice. His first impression of her was, "Now THAT'S what I call a girl...too bad she's the enemy."
