Mars

Mars is the physical education teacher and combat of Sunstate Academy. He was a celestial being created by The Goddess of the Calm in order to protect the Heavenly Gemstones. He is made from the essence of Mars. He goes by Deimos Ayers to blend in with the humans, at first.

Mr. Ayers's main role is to prepare the students for defending the Earth. He trains them how to fight, use mixed martial arts, use a multitude of offensive and defensive weapons, and to supervise the students and their health habits to keep them as on-their-game as possible. He is also in charge of doling out the gemstones to help the students get used to wearing the armor.

Appearance
Mars appears as a man of average height, skewing a bit to the shorter side. He has very dark skin, dark brownish red eyes, and a bald head. He refers to his hairstyle as one of sheer power. He is a very muscular build. Usually, he wears different martial arts uniforms at the school, and even walks around barefoot constantly. His favorite is a white gi, with a black belt and red fingerless gloves. When he isn't practicing fighting techniques (which is rare), he usually wears bold and colorful suits. He is very fond of red.

Personality
Mars is rather hard-boiled. He wastes no time with flowery introductions. He also wastes no time with interpersonal relations. He's here for one purpose and one only. This makes him hard to get to know, and even harder to befriend. He prides himself on his ability to invoke fear in the students. He does have a deeper respect for the students that do try to get to know him beyond as a teacher. He enjoys new fighting styles, war strategies, and discussing war-related history with Puruto.

Pluto
Mr. Ayers and Ms. Puruto are seen together, discussing war strategies and different fighting techniques to teach the group.

Aaron
Mars takes Aaron in as his apprentice, as every teacher must preside over a student for a period of time in order to give them their gemstone. Mars is guarding the diamond, blessed by the Goddess of Summer. In order to achieve his gemstone, Aaron is put through hard manual labor. Even after receiving the rights to his diamond, Aaron is not allowed to actually wear it unless it is during a time of crisis.

Jason
As with the other students, Mr. Ayers puts 100% of his effort into training the students. He does, however, enjoy using Jason as a sparring partner. Well, training dummy, more like. Mr. Ayers enjoys putting Jason in his place, but, at the same time, enjoys fostering his need for violence.

Later in the story, Mr. Ayers offers to help Jason find his emotional center by letting him use the boxing equipment freely.
