Personality: Artorias is short tempered and swift to jump into a conflict, but not before carefully planning his first move; and maybe his second, third, and fourth moves as well. Some people admire him for his strength and divine linage, while others dislike his flaring hot temper and habit of starting conflict. However in the battlefield he can rally troops regardless of their opinions of him and has the spirit and charisma of a natural commander.
History/Bio: Artorias's mother was a blacksmith, she had a strong will and rough hands; probably why Ares took a liking to her. Although not enough to stay with her after getting her pregnant, he did leave his future son some gifts. His inheritance so to speak. After Ares left his mother to return to Olympus, she was very distraught. But she didn't want the village to see her as weak, so she married a rich and brash man by the name of Brandon shortly after the god's departure.
Brandon stayed with her throughout the pregnancy and was there when Artorias was born, effectively making him the boys father. Although it wasn't exactly a healthy relationship, Brandon was out most of the day during Artorias's early childhood and his mother had to attend to her forge. So during his free time alone Artorias learned how to read, it was difficult with nobody to help him during the day but after a few years he had mastered it.
It was around this time that it was becoming apparent that Ares was his father. He was very strong for an eight year old and got into alot of fights with other children in his village, this was all small evidence compared to the crimson arcane runes starting to show on his body. Once when he was twelve a child made the mistake of picking on him for the markings in his ignorance of their power, Artorias got very angered and for the first time his power manifested and the bully was set on fire by the power of his divine blessing markings; kinda ironic huh?
When Artorias was thirteen he apprenticed with his mother at the forge and learned basic weapon and armor smithing, but he decided it wasn't really his calling. He wanted to be a warrior, the thick of the action was his dream. In hopes of bettering his skills for this he enrolled at the soldier's academy in his village, where he studied for several years and learned the bulk of his combat knowledge. He was at the top of his class upon graduation and was easily the most powerful warrior in his village. When he returned home from his graduation ceremony at the academy his mother was waiting for him, with the gifts that Ares had put aside before he left her.
She bestowed upon him a two handed battle sword and a crimson suit of armor, of finer quality than even she herself couldn't create. This was the best present Artorias had ever recieved, he was thrilled; and couldn't wait to test them out in the heat of battle. Everyone told him that he had huge prospects as a guardsman, but he thought that was a boring lifeless husk of a career. and decided that he wanted to become a sellsword. It wasn't difficult to get business being the best in the village and all, after several successful jobs Artorias became known as one of the best out there; not just in his village. That kind of attention attracted all sorts of people, especially with the knowledge that he is the child of Ares. He began hearing whispers of a group called "rogues", he didn't know much at all; only that they had something to do with the divine and that they were bad news. Seeing this as a business opportunity, Artorias had advertisements established in the big city. He hoped to attract the enemies of these "rogues" and to charge them a pretty penny for his services.
