Augustus Franconius Age: 19. Gender: Male. Social Position: Formerly part of a mercantile elite family. Role in a Rogue Trader’s Entourage: Diplomat, Linguist. Appearance: tall, thin, short and curly reddish-brown hair, somewhat pointy facial features, freckles, blue eyes. Personality: Augustus is sad over his exile but hides it behind a friendly and welcoming façade. Travelling space is his way of putting his past behind him by trying to live in the present and always see new sights. He tries to come across as self-assured, but he knows that he truly is gambling his young life for potentially great rewards. He is talkative, curious, and tries to “catch the moment”. He is somewhat neurotic. Biography: Augustus Franconius is a bastard son of a rich businessman’s family. He was treated reasonably well by his parents, but when his father died in his old age, the proud and possessive half-siblings split the family property between themselves and drove Augustus into exile. Augustus gathered what little possessions he could and has supported himself as a mediator between various conflicting merchant families, but could only just get by on his income. He decided to leave his home planet behind him and got himself hired by a Rogue Trader and work as his diplomat and linguist. Skills: knows a fair bit about economics and is good at negotiations and learns new languages like a sponge takes water. He has a secret that his siblings suspect, but could never prove: Augustus has latent psychic powers, making him good at sensing the emotions of others (but also leaves him vulnerable to influences from the Warp). His sensing of emotions and vague ability to sense the presence of Warp-creatures are his only Psyker powers. P.S.: Yes, I like going ultra-hammy on any pseudo-Latin names, especially for a setting like 40k. Equipment: -various vestments of average to above-average cut and quality, but nothing extravagant. His favourite clothing item is a dark grayish-green long coat. - business papers and certificates. - an indescript travelling bag containing simple but practical belongings, like rope, water bottle, much-hoarded jerky, etc. - materials for forging documents, as necessary. - laspistol, sword, and an assortment of throwing knives. - Recently purchased Flak Armour and a snazzy hat.
