Magical Girl won't be around until after Chapter Zero. So, for now, you'll have to settle with this nerd. [hider=Lucius] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/MBuDCH9.png[/img] [h3]Personal Information[/h3] Name: Lucius Perperna Metellus Gender: Male Birthday: 15/01/77 Age: 45 Height/Weight: 180 cm/73 kg Appearance: A man of adequate height, rather long black hair, a steely gaze and a stoic presence. Generally dons a red cloak of sorts. Does not actually smoke. Equipment: Scroll, a few denarii. Hard Assets: A sizable amount of stored wealth in the form of silver, a house and small surrounding tract of arable land. [h3]Psychoanalysis[/h3] Merits: Rationally-minded, a thinker who doesn't let emotion muck with decision calculus. Excellent negotiator, persuader, and propagandist; in the field of influencing and understanding humans, he has few peers. Flaws: A human who views himself as nonhuman; as he seems himself as a tool, there is little sense of self-preservation. Bearer of a distorted mentality; would sooner bring about an eternal war than peace. Tragic Flaw: - Personality: A docile, calm individual with a silver tongue, who seems to rarely allow his emotions to get the better of him. A rational, long-term-thinking individual, with a good grasp on reality and an innovative mind. An invaluable diplomatic force. At the same time, a distorted existence for the sole reason that he sees humans as a beautiful thing, an existence with boundless potential, but at the same time views them as unpolished. To that end, Lucius has oriented his nature around the precept of "bringing out the inner beauty of man". Even this would not be particularly noteworthy, for most cases. After all, the desire to help others reach their ideal self is a worthy cause, not one which should be called distorted. The problem, then, lies in what Lucius views as beautiful. Frenzy, rage, visceral emotion. Not the [i]bakkheia[/i] that drink brings, but the uncensored frenzy born from nothing more than human desire, human lust, human hatred, greed, rage, hunger. Lucius is a being that views that which is vile as beautiful, that sees peace as stagnation. To that end, he has reached the point where he views himself as "nonhuman", rejecting the frenzy that he finds so beautiful as a part of himself, and maintaining a placid state, so that he can better bring that frenzy to others. At the same time, he can be considered a wholehearted advocate for human rights and inherent freedom, not because he finds the notion of freedom valuable in itself, but because without the capacity to act freely, the ability of Man to rage is weakened. [s]We're all sons of the Patriots now.[/s] [h3]Recorded Information[/h3] Culture and Country: Latin Languages: Latin Coptic Public Record: A diplomat working under Sextus Pompey, coming from a long line of politicians. In the wake of Pompey's failure to stay on the Italian mainland, Lucius was appointed as an equivalent of Praetor Peregrinus. Lucius is known as a competent orator and diplomat with relations to foreign bodies, though his administration of justice seems to have taken a backseat to his attempts to make peace with neighboring forces and allow Pompey to gather resources and better cement his position. Private Information: While raised in Rome, due to personal ideology, Lucius joined the resistance against Caesar that was present in the African provinces, and later became a member of Sextus Pompey's faction. A high-ranking propagandist wearing the position of a magistrate, Lucius has worked since being appointed to create and spread rumors of varying truth in order to destabilize the Roman forces, while keeping neighboring factions at bay. He has taken a handful of personal foreign excursions to Aegyptus, and indeed much of the spread behind Antony's illicit affairs is the result of Lucius's work. It is essentially his role to keep the Second Triumvirate as destabilized as possible while Pompey finds a more advantageous position, as well as attempting to create favorable relations with outside factions, and spur on third-party warbands to lead attacks on Rome through way of rumour.
