OK I'll give you the basic summary. My version of Ares is actually a kind god, but due to his title, he has been stereotyped as a war-crazy murderer who cares for no one (but of course he doesn't mind violence when it happens). He resents what people think of him, and often takes trips to the mortal world to clear his head. Eventually, when visiting a (fictional) island, he meets a girl who can see clearly that he is Ares, and the two get to know each other fairly well, and Ares falls in love with her. Zeus is disappointed in Ares, but does not care much. However, when the same island switches their loyalties from the Olympians to only Ares, he gets mad. A battle breaks out between the island and Olympus, but Ares takes the side of the island. The Gods win of course, and Ares's love is killed. HIs father punishes him by banishing him to the mortal world and making him much less powerful, but he is still a god.

So pretty much the background was all me, but mainly I just needed the idea to make him the equivilent of Thor, since I'll need one when Mjolnir gets destroyed by the real Thor and Eric is left powerless.
