ECHIDNAS FIRST CHILD

  • HUGE EGO
  • STOIC
  • HIGH PAIN TOLERANCE
  • LOVING BROTHER
Mercury is his nations war hero, he singlehandedly made Echidna a global superpower through his tactical intelligence and hundreds of years of tireless work. In his youth he strictly enforced the regime that brought him to power, but is now disdainful of war and politics. His exceptionally long lifespan has taken a tremendous toll on him, making him weak and susceptible to the growing pollution in the air. He is extremely tired and prefers taking over his nation's housekeeping duties to patrolling outposts and defending supply lines. However he is still deeply hurt and ashamed when Ares is created to replace him. While in his prime he would have matched his brothers strength and willpower, he is convinced that Ares is essentially just a greatly improved version of himself, and not just a more socially inept copy. 

Mercury is compulsively defensive towards his brother, treating him with a lot of disdain. He devalues Ares's intelligence and sees him as little more than an animal bred to fight, and as a result is adamant that he should be put down. He definitely knows he shouldn't treat Ares this way and does have some tenderness in his heart for his brother, considering how they protect eachother at all costs, but often forgets to voice this. Ares will claim he does not care for his brother, but reacts very strangely when Mercury is at risk.

Mercury has a very dry personality, he often sounds like he's on the verge of tears. He is a very factually compelled person and cares little about emotion or morals, which make him fucking intolerable to interact with. He is cranky but does enjoy company, if only so that he can talk their ears off about how their worldview is wrong and his is correct.
