Clothing Style

Ares tends to dress pretty similarly every day and doesn't like putting more thought into his outfits than necessary. He tends to dress in a manner that is light but durable and comfortable for travel, since he's always on the move to deliver mail. He typically wears some kind of simple top, usually black, with a dark purple jacket, black pants, black and purple boots and a bandana to keep his hair out of the way. He always wears some sort of bandana, and while the pattern and color can vary, the default is usually purple (he says that his sister makes them for him, and he has more than he can count back home). His only other accessories are ear cuffs, fingerless gloves, a glass vial necklace, and some pouches on his belt along with his standard mail bag that he carries with him.

Personality

Ares is an ever-deadpan yet extremely sassy mail carrier who cares more about earning his wage than any of the shit he has to deal with on the job. He tends to be very blunt with his words and has a jaded and rather sour demeanor about him, but honestly he usually feels pretty neutral about everything and comes off as more displeased than he actually is. The only time when he's not extremely blunt with his words is when he's being sarcastic or snarky. In light situations he tends to come off as a downer, and in grim situations he comes off as making light of things since he usually does not care what is going on around him as long as he gets his deliveries done properly. His loyalties are questionable, his morals are typically irrelevant when working, and he honestly does not have time for anything he's not emotionally invested in.

It's difficult to say who Ares is on a personal level since he rarely makes time to make friends or connect with other people, but he's about as no-nonsense off the job as he is while on it. He never seems particularly impressed by anything around him and basically never breaks his usually-bored-looking expression, so he would come off as lacking a sense of humor if not for his sarcasm. That being said though, Ares is reliable when given tasks and can be trusted to keep secrets. He tends to always keep himself busy and doesn't waste time with petty things like drama or personal slights, so he's not one to hold grudges or be offended easily. That doesn't mean he will forget though, but it's unlikely he'll act upon anything if he's not getting paid for it.
