Character Gender: He/him Character Pronouns: He/him Character Sexuality: Heterosexual Fandom: Ryse: Son of Rome Canon Point: Near the end of Ryse before he takes out Nero History: Marius had a pretty good regular life as a child growing up to the famous Leontitus, Praetor and a senator of Rome and a regular Roman mother named Septima. Marius grew up as a soldier and wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps in becoming a Legionnaire. His mother however didn’t see the good in the options and worried but Marius went to the 2nd Legion and came back alive to see his family. He had good news and he was to be posted to Alexandria after military training. His father was overjoyed at the news as he and Marius did some sword training and a brief fight. The peace didn’t last long as Marius and his father heard screams of his mother and younger sister, who were murdered by the Britons. (Barbarians) in Marius’s terms. Marius and his father run to fight off the Britons to a full fight after the other parts of his family are murdered. Leontitus fought to the death against the enemy and he too fell to the threat. Marius was now considered an orphan and the 14th Legion’s commander found Marius and offered a position in the ranks since Vatallion knew his father from when they fought together in a previous war. Marius took it and worked his way up the ranks to a hardened Centurion, which is compared to a General in Roman times. Marius and Vatallion often are close enough to be a father and son kind of bro thing going on. But Vatallion often steers Marius in the right direction when Marius’s rants are often on taking vengeance on those who wronged him. Often enough, the two seem to fight together in the 14th Legion taking on a lot of things when things get rough. Marius and Vatallion live in a AU version of Rome where King Oswald and his daughter Bodica’s Britain rebellion was quelled causing a totally different history to take place. For example Marius had fought in the battle of York, the Battle of Britain and many more different wars that made him a great leader over time. He took on many battles, Vatallion would have taken on himself but Marius still had a streak to him that caused him to disobey orders indirectly to do it himself. He’s one to do things by himself without help if possible as he finds out in battle, he can’t do it by himself without his father figure, Vatallion by himself. In this Rome, Rome is still falling apart but Marius is able to defeat an angry Bodica and King Oswald after falling to death in York but being revived as an alter ego by a Goddess named Summer. She believes Damocles (which is a form of Marius) can save Rome even after pulling his strings as if he was in a game instead. Summer is a goddess who believed Marius was her champion and could save Rome instead of defeating it. Winter was another god that believed in tribes and took Nero as his champion. Nero was given orders by the god Winter to actually kill Marius’s family and Marius had no idea he was being betrayed by the gods after all this time. His anger was taken out on Nero and his kids instead. Not only did Nero send the orders to have his family killed, Nero stabbed him, and his kids killed his Legion. Personality: Marius, as a child, always wanted to be a soldier. Listening to his father’s purely philosophical stories and learning of the ways of the senate really grew who he was inside. His mother was the caretaker, taking care of his younger sister, Honorus and supportive of the roles. His mother, being overprotective of her children, refused Marius’s passion for wanting to become like his father. The family had many enemies and Marius is so used to fighting for the country of Rome that he’d forgotten his own morals in the process as his Centurion and mentor, Vatillian has told him many times over. In his play, he emulated his father in both stubbornness and pure skill with weapons. Being in war had numbed his emotions to the point of being fearless. He sucks his own feelings and morals to support the whole 14th legion over himself. This in turn, makes him many friends and allies for sticking up for his own men on and off the battlefield. Marius has a hint of lone wolf in him, insisting he can do things by himself. He has numerous times told his Commander and mentor, Vatallion to go off without him in battle, believing only he himself can fight the threat at hand. Yet his overconfidence at fighting foes that he can go toe to toe with often ends up with him winning. This gives him a much-needed boost in confidence on the battlefield. Only in battle does his morals stand the test of time. Marius shows his wit and courage through firefight after firefight fighting the barbarian horde to get out the men he trusts and men he does not care for very much.
