- role: you are an Ithacan noble, destined to carry on the legacy of Ares. -
~
After nearly 8 years of hard work and dedication to Ares, you find yourself reaching the point where you must continue the legacy. You must fight ruthlessly in wars, spill the blood of the innocent and guilty, and overthrow Ithaca's royalty to secure your position in the throne. You've been ordered- and forced- by your family to defeat Odysseus's son Telemachus. The warriors of the mind against brutality.
Contrary to your legacy however, you seem to be leaning a little too close to the strategic side of war, catching Athena's attention. The battle of brain and brawn, the rivalry between Athena and Ares- it all comes down to you and Telemachus.
Yet you can't see him as competition. He's just so innocent.
But this is your legacy. This is who you're meant to be. Who you have to be. And if you stray away, well...
You do not want to face the wrath of a god, especially Ares.
