[attr="class","ajbdbst"]PERSONALITY

Apathetic[break]
For the most part, Ares is pretty apathetic to the things around him. There are very few things that he actually gives any emotional energy towards, mostly being his siblings and his career. Otherwise, he finds that he doesn't exactly care about what happens. [break][break]


Protective[break]
If there's anything that's definite about Ares, it's that he's incredibly protective of his family. There's been so much tragedy in his family already that he will do his damnedest to make sure there's no more. And there are no restrictions to this, even if it means breaking the law. [break][break]


Hostile[break]
Poor tempers run strongly in the Kastor family, and Ares is no exception. While it takes quite a bit to ruffle his feathers normally, there are a few things that are like instant triggers. And once the trigger is pulled, there's no reeling it back in until Ares is satisfied again. [break][break]


Secretive[break]
Having been betrayed and hurt by both people he knows and strangers, Ares keeps to himself. There are things he talks to about with no, not even his siblings in some cases. If confronted about it, he claims it's to protect them. But really it's just so no one has anything they can use against him again.[break][break]


Logical[break]
Outside of the few times Ares has reacted purely on his emotion (mostly in anger), he's a decently logical person. This is largely because he's a professional athlete and in the public eye often, but it also just stems from a now inherent distrust of people where he uses logic to protect himself and his emotions.[break][break]


Vindictive[break]
The most notable thing about Ares is probably his vindictiveness, but not because it's particularly brutal or frequent. While he does get into an occasional fight, that's usually the end of things. Being vindictive is important because he relentlessly tracked the person that murdered his parents and aunt to get revenge for his family.[break][break]

[attr="class","ajbdbst"]HISTORY

[attr="class","ajbdbsb"]

Born mid-September 1988 in Greece, Ares is the firstborn of Atlas and Callista Kastor. Things stayed that way, with his parents doting on their only child, until his sister came along in 1992 and then his brother in 1995. The three kids got along as well as any siblings, though Ares did usually try to be responsible since he was the oldest. That sometimes led to fights and it also sometimes led to the younger ones getting in trouble, not that Ares didn't get into his fair amount of trouble too. [break][break]
Due to his September birthday, Ares started school at Durmstrang in 2000, when he was already nearly 12. As a student, he was sort of apathetic, not giving too much care for his topics except Flying. Since playing Quidditch ran in the family, it was something Ares took to like a fish to water since he'd been learning to fly since he was basically a toddler. Nothing else really held his interest, though he was still decently good at certain types of spells. [break][break]
During the winter holidays of his second year, Ares's parents wiped his sister from his and his brother's memories and sent her off to live elsewhere due to her having not shown any signs of magic yet. They would rather maintain the family tradition of magic than have a squib for a daughter. Of course, the boys were none the wiser, but that wouldn't last forever. [break][break]
Life went back to as normal as it could after that up until December 2004. Shortly before Christmas, the Kastor house was set on fire by someone with a vendetta against the family. Both Ares and his brother made it out of the blaze, but their parents died in the fire, leaving them orphans and forced to go live with their aunt, Althea, in London instead. [break][break]
At this point, Ares was faced with the choice to stay at his school or transfer to Hogwarts due to its proximity to his new home. He chose to stay at Durmstrang. When he got back to school after the holidays ended, it was like he was a totally different person. Whereas before he sort of brushed off his casting lessons, now he threw himself into them with vigor. He had to make himself stronger, strong enough to avenge his parents one day. [break][break]
After graduating, Ares got the position of seeker for the Falmouth Falcons and shortly after moved from his aunt's house, though he didn't go far, sticking to London to stay close to his brother. Because of this he also found himself his first proper relationship, something he'd denied himself for his school years, having been more focused on other things and not wanting attachments. It happened when he was taking his brother school shopping that August, and the two officially got together a few months later. All in all, things were going well and stayed that way for a while. [break][break]
While Ares never forgot about getting his revenge, his life had him in a place that it went on the back burner for a little while, and instead he focused on actually living. He and his partner moved in together, his career flourished, and while not quite happy, Ares was content.[break][break]
Things ran smoothly for the most part all the way up until 2009. Late that year, in October, Ares found his aunt dead in her home when he stopped by for a visit. The signs were clearly that of poisoning and the word accidental got through around a lot, but he knew his aunt and he knew that she would never mix up potions or poisons like that from her experience as a Healer. He was devastated at the loss and it served to remind him that the person that murdered his parents was still out there.[break][break]
It was November of 2009 when Ares got a letter from a girl claiming to be his sister. He was skeptical at first, but after a little digging and some more correspondence, he knew she was telling the truth. She was invited to spend time with the family that December once everyone was on holidays. During that time, another fire was set, on the exact day as the first fire. Thankfully, this time everyone got out in time. It also reignited Ares's desire for revenge even more than his aunt's death. [break][break]
Tracking the person down would take him another year and the help of his sister even though she wasn't involved in the original fire. And even then Ares wouldn't get his revenge, though he would get close. The chance would never arise again after that, unfortunately, as the person then stopped pursuing the family. [break][break]
Once the threat to his family was gone again, Ares let himself lower his guard just a little bit. In that time he proposed to his partner and finally managed to gather up the courage to go back to Greece for the first time since he was sixteen. However, that paradise couldn't last for very long. After being together for seven years and engaged for two, in 2015, Ares and his partner split up after a series of nasty fights of just too many things that had been neglected over the years. It was a blow he hadn't been expecting, but it also wasn't honestly that much of a surprise. After sulking about it for a while, Ares pulled himself back up and is determined to build his life and be happy without the person he thought would always be there.
