╘╬╧╤═╡Past

Ares was born as the first child of his biological mother, a charizard, and father, an aggron. 

His mother made crafts and had a passion for studying geology, frequently asking for trips into his father's sites to assess the rock and minerals. In return for being allowed the privilege, she always brought with her a wonderfully made weaved basket filled with preserves and other pleasant things. It was understood, without it being spoken, that the two considered these visits dates.

Just a few months after their first encounter, the pair were happily married and with a baby on the way. While in the womb, Ares was reportedly very active and caused his mother quite a bit of pain throughout her second and third trimester. Unfortunately for her, so did his brothers that came in the years afterwards. With the third child in delivery, there were several unexpected and fatal complications. She died after giving birth to little baby Jack.

His adoptive mother, a bouffalant, is a butcher, slaughtering fresh kills and wrapping choice cuts for her customers to buy. She was an ugly woman, by anyone's standards, but her strength and the fluidity of her unwavering cleaver seduced the father aggron. He had stopped into the store only once to buy some jerky on the way home from checking out a new mine site, but immediately he fell for her after a loud WHUMP of the cleaver reverberated around the shop. He'd never seen a woman put so much force into a task, it swept him off his feet and he didn't leave until he got himself a date. It turned out that the bouffalant woman was also widowed, with a son of her own, younger than Ares and his brothers. 



Always being the oldest, the biggest, and, supposedly, the smartest of his siblings, he took it upon himself to set an example. "You have to be cool, you have to be tough, and for Palkia's sake, listen to mom." It wasn't always necessarily the right example that he set. If Ares stole a cookie, Thane, Jack, and William would, too. Or at least, they'd try. A mother is not a person to have their patience tried, and frequently she set to delivering punishment to the unruly boys. Sometimes they'd learn, sometimes they wouldn't, but they'd always put up a fight. 

Ares got into a lot of trouble in school. He was too feisty, too bored, and too active to pay any attention to the whiteboard. He had a lot of angry and, sometimes, even violent outbursts from not understanding what the teachers insisted on prattling on about. His parents sat through a lot of parent/teacher conferences about issues like that, and finally they took action in finding a solution for Ares' outbursts.

After being forced to do his homework by his mom after classes, his father would take him into the mines around his junior high years to help excavate and extract various resources. It was more than dangerous, of course, and the (now deceased) protective mother charizard detested the idea. But with modern safety regulations, it at least wasn't so bad. The kid loved it, taking after his father, and couldn't stay away from the mines once all his homework was done. He wouldn't leave the site sometimes until 3 in the morning, making sure everything that needed to be done was completed. Of course, his school performance faltered even more than it did naturally, but his father knew his first-born had as much potential in this career as anyone. Being in the mines was the first experience the kid had ever had that he felt good at, that he understood and wanted to perform to his supervisor's expectations.

After doing stupid things like breaking tools on the wrong sorts of rocks, his father and close relatives also involved in the mine site got Ares a sort of gag-gift - a pair of very sturdy and pointed gauntlets. Heh! Break your own arms against them things, boy! Of course, the gauntlets were actually incredibly durable and facilitated a new passion of his - geode hunting. 

With his body and diligence developing, the opportunity came for Ares to evolve. It was a relatively quiet moment. Nearly all of his co-workers were headed out of the mines and the sounds of the machines were reduced to a low hum. In the seconds before he felt the strange sensation, a realization dawned on him that he had a purpose now and a reason to put his entire being into this job. He realized he had made some good and bad choices, but most importantly, he felt that he could trust his own decision-making. I don't need a new body. This one's just fine for me... And just like that, the process stopped. He's not sure if some day he will want to evolve into a charizard like his biological mother. For now, he's proud of what he is.

Years went by and his aging dad grew more and more stiff, being pained to even get out of bed in the morning. It was nearly time for him to hand off his senior management position to someone much more physically able and strong. Now, his first choice is of course Ares. He trusts his son to maintain the sites he owns and to invest in future ones, maybe someday bringing in a larger fortune to the family name. For now, though, the father maintains his senior position in overlooking all procedures and activities in resource extraction. 

╘╬╧╤═╡Present

Recently, he has been promoted to a supervising position on his father's site (owned by his grandfather before him). His sometimes abrasive but mostly loud personality does well in keeping productivity moving during lazy hours. 

When not on a 12hr shift in the mines, he can be found outside on a sunny day playing with his brothers (now ranging from pre-teen to mid-teen in ages), or testing both his strength and the strength of his gauntlents against Captivon's biggest, baddest boulders. He wants to find the most brilliant geodes Quivira has to offer -- and sell them for an absurd price.

╘╬╧╤═╡Miscellaneous

- He's always uncomfortably warm. Like, really, really warm. To counteract this as much as possible, he goes without a shirt when he can get away with it, and he's still warm. "I'm friggin HOT, god damn." Fans are constantly present in any living space of his.
- Do you need your own, personal alarm clock set for the crack of dawn every morning? He's got you covered.
- Manages to bathe carefully and quickly with his tail outside of the shower/tub
- He will go to beaches, but he will not swim. He will stay a more-than-healthy distance away from the water.
