I wonder if anyone could tell me how its like or if you know anyone with this placement

It makes me intense and driven. The Mars influence on the Asc can make someone come across as more forceful and direct with this placement, but the intense Scorpionic energy is there thanks to Mars also being in its home sign using traditional rulership.

Mars rules your drive and anger, inner primal instincts. Your Asc rules your outward personality and immediate reactions, so when these two are conjunct you can find someone who feels very in touch with their animalistic side and isn't afraid of expressing that. People are intimidated by me and it's not a concious effort, many times have people thought I was a mean, bitchy person who was angry at the world.

Lmao, that's funny, because I really do have a sense of feeling that I affect people, much more intensely than any average person. At a first glance, I could make everyone hate me, than gradually love me, and then for some feel very intimidated by me. And I bearly do anything, tbh.

And yeah, i'm a martian too.

The principles are pretty straightforward:

Mars conjunct Asc is pronounced assertiveness, action, 'I can do it (my way)', self-directed action, self-determination, a tendency for a greater level of aggression and/or self-reliance by nature than your peers. The energy levels are higher and the person is more action-oriented than others.

Scorpio's fixed water is a large and deeper container for Mars' fire, but resonates closely to its red fiery energy, but with saturated (darker) red. The mode of expression is slowed with Scorpio's fixity, is more persistent and typically less distracted or impulsive than with air or fire signs. Intentions and motives are more obscured, retained more within the deeper well of internal personal meaning. That does not mean they won't communicate these things, they just don't waste any energy on it. Such communication is more to establish superiority of approach or personal domain.

This combination urges the person to assert self in a way that is fundamentally emotive/creative, but not necessarily revealing of self. It could be revealing of what is hidden in the larger world, but that is because they understand the nature of secrets and power.

Often the humor is colored with sarcasm and communication can be peppered with quick retorts or cutting remarks. Dissatisfaction tends to become anger that builds slowly and cools slowly (if ever). Being hurt tends to induce a desire to hurt 'them' back.

Can play up martyr/revenge dynamics.

These folks may be a bit eager to defy -- to quickly assert their power/domain. They have the challenge of finding creative ways to diffuse, thus cool off their energies. They may get along with others on the surface, but they'll go their own way and do what they will, not asking permission first or waiting for approval. Their behavior tends to constantly skirt the line of societal limits, or at least the propriety of family (unless the rest of the chart shows a different tone).

With Asc in Scorpio conjunct/parallel Mars there can be a physical tendency for maladies of the gonads, and for the glandular (endocrine) system to run too hot, especially in men. That can mean overwork, too little sleep; pushing to the limits of exhaustion. The sex drive creates a heat/pressure that may build slowly to something of an explosion. However, they can also seem to have a constantly regenerated stream of energy they successfully put into creative productive efforts.

Persons with Mars conjunct/parallel Asc when ill are especially prone to fevers, urinary infections, and over-heated blood if they don't eat an appropriate diet and diffuse their energies physically. There can also be strains to back/spine or joints from over-strain.
