Reputation
In school, Alexander has a reputation as a stand-offish scholarly person. Amongst the divinity, he is known as the newest Phobos, son of Ares.
Biography
Alexander Aaron was born the son of Ares twenty years ago. It was a time while his father was avoiding his role as the God of War and was attempting to lead a normal life amongst the mortals. For the first ten years of his life, Alexander existed purely as a normal child.
Then he was kidnapped by the Japanese god of evil, Amatsu-Mikaboshi. He was used as a weapon in that god's war against the other pantheons of creation. Luckily his father was able to defeat Amatsu-Mikaboshi and rescued his son, but in so doing Alexander was forced to accept the mantle of Phobos, god of fear.
Upon returning to earth, Ares and Alexander tried to pick up their lives again. Ares, now returning to his role as God of War, was forced to leave home more often and left Alexander to his own devices and efforts, though with the occasional supervision from one chaperone or another.
Today, Alexander is attending college at Empire State University in New York City. He is still attempting to lead a normal life as he can.

Character Details
Alexander Aaron is a curious study in nature versus nurture. There are distinct elements of his personality that are due primarily to his role and assumption of the godhead of Phobos. Before he assumed the role or rather before it fell to him, he was definitely more carefree, open, a typical ten year old. When it came to him he suddenly seemed to age abruptly and became older beyond his years, more stern, abrupt.
Yet he is still Alexander. He is still that same sentient being that was born to his mother and father and lived a relatively normal life those ten years.
As it stands, currently, he is distant. He is stand-offish most of the time and might even come across as almost entirely humorless. But when he is put at ease he has no qualms about giving of himself moreso. He is an intensely honorable individual, the warrior code has been drilled into him throughout his life. He keeps his word unerringly, he does not care to lie and if forced to do so it will either be as a lie of omission or a tactic during a battle or conflict.
| Combat |
| As the son of Ares, the god of war, Alexander has been trained in just about all facets of combat since he could walk. If a weapon has been used at some point in the history of mankind to take someone's life, then Ares saw fit to train Alexander in its use and in countering its use. He is also well-versed in most of the effective martial arts in the world, considered a master in most of those forms though his skill level is not near the level of those who have dedicated their lives to the perfection of their form. |
| Fear |
| As the god of fear, Phobos is capable of manipulating the feelings of others around them to make them be afraid of him or of something near him. He is capable of manipulating crowds this way, so long as they can have sight of him, hear what he's saying, or see the object of which he speaks, then they can be made to feel fear. In counterpoint he can also by word and deed make those who follow him be immune to fear and fear-causing effects. |
| Immortality |
| Having taken the mantle of the god of fear, Alexander is effectively immortal. He can still be killed by sufficient levels of violence, however he is extremely durable and able to endure staggering wounds that would kill any normal individual. He is capable of healing extremely quickly, and is capable of surviving in a vacuum or underwater. If he does not die from violence it is like he could live forever. |
| Phsyique |
| As an Olympian, Alexander is gifted with heightened strength and speed. He is stronger than mortal man, able to lift several tons if he pushes himself. He is also able to move faster than more and with better reaction time, though not as effectively as speedsters of the world. At most he can run perhaps forty miles an hour when given enough run up time. |
| Warfare |
| Ares also spent a good amount of time training Alexander in how to conduct a campaign and to properly fight battles using different weapons and resources. He is entirely capable of taking a group of men and leading them to victory in a prolonged engagement. If he were to decide to embark on a life of conquest it is feasible he could match the accomplishments of his ancient namesakes. |
| History |
| When one learns of warfare and weapons, one learns of history. Alexander is extremely knowledgable of the society of man and their ensuing conflicts. He can recite the works of Homer word for word as well as the works of Plutarch. He could teach at a collegiate level if he so wished. It is thusly lucky that history is also his major. |
| Pre-cognition |
| At times Alexander has been given glimpses of the future. They are brief, barely detailed, and always include information about himself or those he holds close to him. He is at times made aware when someone is in terrible danger by these brief flashes of insight, though he has no control of this ability whatsoever. |
| Wealth |
| Before departing to take part in Olympian politics once again, Ares left Alexander a large antiques collection of various and sundry priceless weapons, armor, and historical documents from over the ages. If one were to appraise all of these items (which are kept in storage at various residences around the world) then the total would be well into a billion dollars. |
| Contacts |
| If Alexander was truly in dire straits, he would be able to call upon his family for aid and it is most likely they would help him. Though his family, being Olympians, there most likely would be a price exacted. It is a dangerous thing to invoke a connection to a god, and to do so would bring their attention to him which might very well not be a positive thing. Still, he does have a support network, even if they never did take him to Chuck E. Cheese's. |
| Family |
| Most people think it's great to be a god. But they don't always realize the downside of it, and a lot of that downside is due to the family. The Olympian gods play the world like a great game, and they treat each other as opposing players. The game focuses on rank, each god trying to gain over on their fellows by move and counter-move. Naturally this can lead to all sorts of horrible things. For Alexander that means he is prone to being a pawn in their games. |
| Magic |
| As a god, or divine being that is the current representation of a concept and empowered by mankind's belief, Alexander is vulnerable to certain ancient hexes and bindings that target himself and his kind. It is possible that sorcerers can place him under a geas, or summon him, or attempt to cajole him through different spells. |
| Strands Of Fate |
| It is a belief as old as man, that some souls have their destiny set out for them. That their strands of fate are so strong that when another strand comes near it, the weaker strand invariably is split and then torn asunder. This is something of a reality for Alexander, as he seems prone to those around him or near him suffering darker fates than if they had never met him. He is aware of this tendency and has even been told of it by some of his family, so it haunts him. |
| Fated |
| As an aspect of his pre-cognition as well as some foretelling given to him by the Sibyl, Alexander is fated to die during a conflict of the gods. This knowledge has a double impact on his psyche in that he knows roughly when he is going to die so he can be terribly reckless. Also this knowing that he has a fate tends to make him doubt his own free-will. |
