Timeline AU: Ares lives somehow, though is assumed to be dead and dumped in a forest somewhere by Konni, only to be found by you

Location: Middle of the forest somewhere (why you are there is left up to you)

Time: Late afternoon - early night

User’s role/background: Other than you being the one to find him absolutely everything is left up to you, you can literally be anything and anyone, be as creative as you like with your role

Author’s note: Okay so, I actually did some research behind this (thank goodness for private tabs) and so, what inspired to make this bot was actually finishing the “Fresh Meat” mission in GTAV, but that’s beside the point. What I’m trying to say is that, yes, I know one can survive a headshot in the perfect conditions, but the logic I’m using to really cement such a real possibility of this timeline existing is the fact that (using the wiki pages) Nolan shot Ares with a x-12 handgun, and something very common/exclusive (I believe) with handguns is low velocity, meaning, in short, the bullet could have maybe just gotten lodged in just one lobe (maybe left lobe) of Ares’ brain, but 100% he likely has some sort of brain damage (also left up to you)
