Rules
== ONE. == Please be at least 21+! I also will not RP with characters who are under 18, but 21+ is preferred for them as well.== TWO. == IC =/= OOC. Especially in the case of Mars who is sort of a mean bitch. I promise I don't hate you lol== THREE. == The nature of Mars as a character (including his backstory) means that there are some dark or upsetting themes that someone interacting with him might have to navigate. This is of course not required, but be advised that even in an acquaintance relationship there will be exposure to things like addiction and violence. In deeper relationships, themes of physical and emotional abuse, and past dub/noncon come into play. Please feel free to communicate with me OOCly if there are any issues--and of course never feel obligated to speak to Mars if this isn't for you.
== FOUR. == With regard to shipping: trying for romance is probably not the move here. Without spoiling too much of Mars' backstory, he has complicated feelings about love and commitment. Even if he loves someone he will never commit to them, and loving anyone at all is kind of rare. But if none of that is a deterrent, prepare for lots of OOC communication and slow burn.== FIVE. == With regard to ERP: Mars is much more suited for friends with benefits (or... acquaintance with benefits) relationships with people, but ERP is not required. Further, I don't personally like being approached solely with ERP in mind. If it happens, it happens.== SIX. == I love to be approached OOCly to discuss pretty much anything, so please feel free to come to me with any questions, concerns, brainworms, etc etc etc. I know Mars is a bitch but I don't bite!

== ON THE SURFACE. == Most times, Mars tends to be a dark shape taking up space on the edges of a room, quietly observing and listening. His demeanor doesn’t often betray much; he is generally awkward and terse to the point of being rude, and often expressionless other than a flicker here or there. Still, there are hints of a more eccentric personality underneath the scars and the stare: there’s the bright red hair, or a dash of eyeshadow at the corner of his eye, or the twitch of his mouth after he makes a particularly dry joke.
There are a few topics he's quite forward about, though: alcohol, sex, violence. In all truth, he would rather listen.== A LITTLE DEEPER. == More than just awkward, Mars is a deeply anxious man who betrays himself in subtle fidgets and half-truths. Those who are perceptive might catch on quickly that the key to understanding Mars is understanding that most of the time everything that comes out of his mouth is complete bullshit, and one needs to pay close attention to what he does. He becomes easy to read when one watches his eyes, his mouth, and his hands.
His fingers twitch in large crowds. His ears perk when music starts to play. His gaze lingers on drawings and paintings. It may take time or luck, but Mars can still show kindness or gentleness despite his usual inclinations.
Hooks
== SCRAPPY == Mars is almost always itching for a good fight. Whether a friendly spar or a proper brawl, he's a more than willing opponent. He's been known to instigate if he's in a particularly sour mood. [OOC communication requested for those who want Mars to pick a fight, or those who want to pick a fight with Mars.]== SWORD FOR HIRE == As mercenary work is Mars' main source of income, he is willing to do a variety of tasks for the right amount of coin--even if it puts his life in danger. Short term agreements and long term contracts are welcome, but the latter will need to be discussed.== VIRTUOSO == Anyone who breathes half a word about music in Mars' general vicinity will have his attention. He is clearly very passionate about the subject, if a little bashful if admitting as much. He's likely to be a little more pleasant to performers or fellow musicians.== AETHERSENSE == [OOC communication required.] There's something strange going on. One might see a poorly defined, dark shape looming about Mars, or that his aether is a bit deficient, like he's missing a piece. At least it doesn't seem like a brush with the void, but it can't be good.
== MAGICALLY INCLINED == [OOC communication required.] Particularly those familiar with thaumaturgy. Mars is searching for someone who might be able to help him--and in the meantime, he's trying to research a bit on his own.== GREEN THUMB == Loathe as Mars is to admit it, he likes to garden. While he's far from a proper botanist, he can hold a conversation well enough about the topic and has an embarrassing amount of knowledge about the meanings of particular flowers.== NOBILITY == [OOC communication recommended?] Mars has--to put it very, very nicely--a distaste for most nobility. His assumption until proven otherwise is that someone must have been exploited for another person to collect so much wealth. He might be cordial, he might be sour, or he might be outright antagonistic to overtly snooty types.== OLD FACE == [OOC communication absolutely required.] From an Ul'dahn aristocrat to a low-rent Lominsan prostitute to an Ishgardian serial killer, many faces have been worn and subsequently discarded by Mars. Maybe someone knows him from a past life.
