Mars:

Mars, also known as Marusu, is a prominent member of the Diamond Kingdom’s Eight Shining Generals. To augment his magic abilities, he underwent extensive human experimentation in his kingdom, which resulted in the embedding of numerous mage stones within his body.

Mars cherishes a deep bond with his childhood friend, Fana, which holds a special place in his heart. His grimoire design, a symbol of his magical prowess, graces the cover of Volume 10. Known for his impressive physique, he ranks as the sixth most muscular character. While his popularity fluctuates across different polls, he notably ranked #16 in the first and #10 in the VIZ popularity poll. Mars draws inspiration from Greek mythology for many of his spells, such as Talos, Nemean lion, Titan, Harpe, and Phoenix. Interestingly, his name is derived from the Roman god of war.

Appearance:

Mars possesses a unique physical appearance that sets him apart. He has a slender build and stands at an average height. His short, light purple hair is styled into spikes, with a lock falling over his forehead. His eyes, a striking pink, lack eyebrows, and he has pale skin. Notably, he bears turquoise mage stones on his forehead and chest, arranged in a distinct pattern, a visual representation of his magical abilities.

Over the jumpsuit, he dons a tight white vest with brown trimmings, revealing his chest, along with cropped pants that feature similar designs. His high boots, also white with brown trimmings, have pointed tips and black vamps. Completing his ensemble is a black fur coat embedded with crystals.

Personality:

Following the grueling human experimentation, Mars transforms into a stoic and determined individual, driven solely by his objectives. This unwavering focus allows him to attack even the most vulnerable targets without hesitation ruthlessly. His arrogance leads him to view adversaries as insignificant obstacles, often underestimating their capabilities.

Despite his stern demeanor, Mars possesses keen perceptiveness, swiftly assessing his opponent’s strengths and adapting his tactics accordingly. However, his encounter with Asta triggers a transformation. Freed from brainwashing, Mars regains his memories and reverts to his kind and reserved nature. Grateful for Lotus’s intervention, he embarks on a mission to honor his promise to Fana, quietly striving to better the Diamond Kingdom and secretly aiding the innocent during his kingdom-sanctioned missions.
