empyrreal:

modern greek mythology: ares, god of war, bloodlust, courage, and civil order

he’s anything but nice. he’ll start a fight over everything because he knows he will win. but it’s not the victory he loves. it’s the adrenaline of wrath and power in his body. it’s the grit and the danger. pain and pleasure are blurred in his world. he feels so much he doesn’t feel anything. his hands leave bruises and marks. his lips are cracked and he kisses like a punch to the heart. (feel shellshocked.) he has perpetually reddened knuckles and a smirk dripping blood. he’s not easy on the eyes. in fact, you’ll find him very hard to look at. but there’s also something gorgeous in his ugly. something like a heroic and bitter glory. stuff historians write about. (now if only he can get rid of those damn ghosts-)
