[hider]Player Name: Joseph or joe

Character name: Real name is Lucas Flavius but is known as Adrian Jannus

Race: Imperial

Age: 22

Sex: Male

Physical Description: Lucas is a beautiful looking Imperial even to an Imperials standard. He’s around six foot and incredible shape with hardly any fat on him. His thick wavy brown hair is pulled back to just above his shoulders and has a well-trimmed stubble. He’s usually tanned but being so far north for a while it’s started to fade and for someone who’s been a part of the legion for a few years he has hardly any scars and his teeth are still perfect.  He has big dark brown eyes which make people believe he’s a nice and caring person.

Faith: Lucas acts like the pious saint when people in higher ranking positions or his family are around but really, he doesn’t care or put much faith in the Gods believing they have nothing to do with someone’s outcome in life. He thinks if someone wants a better life they should go out and get it for themselves instead of praying. He usually looks down at people who worship the Daedra seeing them as barbaric.

Position: Hastati

Magic: He can cast a basic Oakflesh spell on himself.

Core: Being the son of a famous general within the empire, people always seemed to expect big things from Lucas. However, no one expected more from him than his own father who constantly compared him to his older brother. Lucas’s brother died during an ambush when Lucas was just eight. This led Lucas to constantly try and his earn his fathers’ affections when he was younger, but the older he got the more he started to resent his father. They lived in a house in Skingrad in a wealthy district and Lucas never left the city for all of his childhood. Lucas went to school where he was one of the brighter students and when he was home, he practised fighting with a wooden sword and shield. When his father was away with the army, Lucas’s mother would show him spells which Lucas loved but wasn’t allowed to do any when his father was home. His Father wanted to raise a warrior or a general not a magician, this stopped Lucas from ever being a powerful mage. 

When Lucas started to get into his late teens, he started to become quite distant and cold towards people he didn’t know or people who believed were below him, mainly stemming from his father’s prejudices. He didn’t like living with his father but still wanted his affection and love. His father always went on about how he came from nothing and built himself up so one day Lucas left the comforts of Skingrad and enlisted in the Legion. He used a fake name so people didn’t know who his father was.

Misc: The father son relationship is pretty inspired by Tywin and Tyrion.[/hider]

Let me know if you want me to change or expand anything.

So a few thoughts/questions/concerns whatever. Who exactly is this general that refused his son an education in magic in entirety? The Empire does not have that many (about one per province/conflict zone), this would be quite a famed man, which begs the follow up question. Why didn't this general use his connections to push his son right into some NCO type position or at least get him stationed in a cushy front where he could rise the ranks? Or, at the very least, remain in his proximity and hence under his watch? As I said in the OP I don't really like walls of text and prefer show don't tell, but I feel I don't really have a good enough grasp of the feller as is, even if I can appreciate the direction you're taking.
