Name: Remus
Title(s): "Roma, the Forest on the Seven Hills"
Class: Gatekeeper
Gender: Male (Reme)
Attribute: Sky
Alignment: Runaway Neutral
Personality: As a divine superhuman, Remus is a prideful man, believing that it is his birthright to reign over humans rather than pave the way for human history like his brother. Unlike his brother, who suppresses his divinity because of his love for humans, Remus instead chooses to reject his humanity, basking in the full glory that is his divine heritage. Because of this, he acts with a sense of entitlement, believing that the world is his to rule. Basically, his personality is incompatible with most humans. However, simpler life forms such as plants and animals get along with Remus strangely well.
A man who was destined to rule, but was never given the opportunity to truly live up to his birthright, Remus is still bitter about his death from his brother's hands. Despite this, however, he understands that his death was necessary in order for Rome to become a reality, and is secretly proud of the impact that he and his brother have made on the world. Still, Remus believes that if he were the Divine Ancestor, Rome would be better off, and blames all the problems he sees in the modern world on his brother's own shortcomings. To be human is to have limits, and Remus knows that his brother's empire was truly held back by his own humanity. To create a utopia borne from his own godly ichor... to lead the flawed humans of this imperfect age... All Remus desires is for his own empire, where he can rule over man and create a new Age of Gods...
No. An Age of Reme.
Objective for the Grail: The fuck's a grail? I just want to plant a tree.
Appearance: The spitting image of his brother, although with a more youthful visage, his flowing crimson hair glowing vibrantly. His perfect, bronzed skin shines as if it was truly forged by the greatest of smiths, his muscles bulging and bristling with every movement. Truly a body of the divine, Remus refuses to wear anything more than a black pair of bodybuilder's briefs so that all may witness Roma, and know of the perfection that they are not permitted to obtain. The only other thing that Remus wears on occasion is a nice cape dad gave him.
Biography:
The twin brother of the hero who had laid the foundation for the Roman Empire, son of the god of war and nursed by a mother wolf. Destined to rule an empire along with his brother, a petty feud to decide which hill they should begin their empire on tore the binding ties of brotherhood apart. While the life of Remus ended moments before the empire he was destined to find would begin, it was because of his death that Rome became the great empire that had ruled the known world for half a millennia. While Romulus is Rome in name and in spirit, Remus is Rome in body, his spilled blood marking the start of its legacy.Weapon: Remus's summoned weapon as a Gatekeeper is an impressive blade only befitting of a god and wielded with proficiency. What once belonged to his father, Remus had customized it further so that the hilt has been made bronzed and its blade scarlet. Because Remus has never owned it in person and his class isn't Saber, he is incapable of manifesting this sword as a Noble Phantasm. It is only due to his existence as being "Roma" as well as the sword itself being "official property of the Empire" that it appears in Remus's hands.
However, he mostly uses it as a cool laser pointer. Remus prefers to fight with his fists for similar reasons that he wears no clothes.

DClass Skills:
Fortress Creation:
EXThe Skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself in combat. At this rank, the creation of an “Empire” superior to a “Fortress” is possible, boosting Remus’s fighting capabilities as well as the power of the blessings created by his Septem Colles (Body). Furthermore, rather than building his Empire using both time and resources, Remus can simply grow his own territory through the use of Ficus Ruminalis, using his blood to spring up defenses from shields and walls to even entire castles at an instant. That is to say, while further preparation is needed to completely construct an Empire, Remus’s spilled blood is more than enough to lay its foundation.
Personal Skills:
Divinity:
BThe measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. It also has an effect which reduces special defensive values called “purge defense” in proportion to the Divinity's Rank. It can break through Skills such as Protection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig. As the son of the God of War, Mars, as well as the twin brother of the Divine Ancestor, Romulus, Remus's Divinity is ranked highly.
Natural Body:
C+The possession of a perfect body as a living being since birth. Along with his twin brother, Remus was born naturally superhuman. Even without training, he's still beyond brawny. No matter how many calories he ingests, his body shape will not change. Remus can temporarily rank up his STR modifier, the weight of an entire empire following his every strike. Plus modifiers are granted on checks based on jumping, although misuse of this ability will lead to Remus's spiritual core becoming unstable.
Septem Colles (Body):
AA Skill based on the hills of Rome where the city was founded near. A skill that allows the Divine Ancestor to grant blessings to his children. However, because Remus's only legacy is his own spilled blood, he can only grant such blessings to different parts of his body which are able to carry on even after being separated from his own spiritual body even after the destruction of his original spiritual core.
Animal Communication:
B+The capability to reach a mutual understanding with animals, beings that do not possess a language. However, because the intellect of the animal does not improve, complex nuances cannot be conveyed. In Remus’s case, clear communication and establishing proper rapport with animals is within the realm of possibility. Wolves- and to a certain extent, other canines- are especially easy to communicate with as Remus was raised amongst them as siblings.
Imperial Privilege:
-"To learn skills through your own stubborn insistence rather than take full advantage of your own divine gifts for yourself? How mortal of you, brother..."Noble Phantasm:

As Remus's blood was spilled on the hills of Rome, Romulus had thrust the spear that had slain him into the Palatium, marking the birth of a nation. It is with his blood, which seeped with the roots of the first tree of Rome, that he is able to draw upon the legend of his death. While his body encompasses Rome itself, his very blood has the concept of “nation-building”. With his own blood, Remus is able to create trees similar in nature to the tree birthed by his brother's spear. Using this Noble Phantasm along with his class skill as a Gatekeeper allows Remus to craft defenses at an instant. Walls, buildings, and even citizens are all borne from Remus’s blood, created in a more abridged matter than a Caster's Item Construction skill.
Because the foundation of Rome flows through his veins, his body is also capable of healing itself in reaction to the damage it receives, his wounds being pulled back together by vines and his severed limbs sprouting out of its bloody sockets. If given time, Remus is capable of healing himself completely depending on the amount of damage he has taken during rest. The more damage he receives in battle, however, the more his body gets closer to the existence that is the Tree of Imperial Foundation. Vines and roots pour out of him at an exceedingly rapid pace under his control while stitching his wounds and pulling his body back together until he truly becomes an existence that is the Creation of Rome, allowing him to fight to the bitter end, no matter how severe the damage he takes is. Furthermore, the healing from Ficus Ruminalis is increased at a much faster rate when Remus is within the territory designated by the Fortress Creation skill. Remus loathes using this Noble Phantasm in this matter, however, as he believes it sullies his otherwise perfect body.

The reenactment of Remus’s greatest accomplishment; dying. It is the death of Remus that truly brought forth the advent of Roma, the greatest civilization known to the greater history of Man. However, due to the insistence of Remus, the “Roma” that is created upon his death has been heavily mutated to match his image. The “Trees of Nation-Building” that sprout from the spilled blood of Remus also take the form of “Trees of Domination” as his dream begins to truly manifest.
A Noble Phantasm that automatically takes effect upon the destruction of Remus’s spiritual core while within the territory designated by his Fortress Creation, countless trees sprout forth from Remus’s dying vessel, vines and roots spreading throughout his claimed territory. All unwelcomed interlopers around Remus are struck by a wide-range attack bearing the properties of “Nation-Building”. At first glance, a last-resort suicidal attack. While one would first assume that this is likely just the death throes of the sore loser that is Remus, they would soon find out that the grove that has been brought forth from his death is more than just his bloodied legacy. Of course, to those within the vicinity who even managed to survive the attack, they would find out far too late. One must keep note that the range of this Noble Phantasm does not designate the size of the initial attack, but instead what comes after.
Rather than truly dying, Remus’s body has truly ascended to that of an Empire, truly becoming Roma incarnate. While the Emperor's ability of individual thought has dissipated, his empire remains to autonomously fulfill the emperor's wishes, acting on their own to accomplish the will of Remus. As the Trees of Nation-Building spread throughout his territory, the land and is leylines shift and change to truly become his own, creating forest that would be formally known as “Rema”. Becoming something similar to the Disemboweling Sea of Trees, Remus has the true absolute authority of an “emperor” within Rema. Within his empire, Remus’s word is law, and any who oppose it shall be brought low. The trees and roots that make up Rema all still bend to the emperor’s very will, as if they still are a part of Remus’s body, and resources can be expended so that new trees may be sprouted, extending Rema’s territory further. Those designated by Remus as his favored citizens are now fully able to receive his blessings while within his territory, while unwelcome guest would find their mere existence to be rejected within the walls (trees) of Rema, their magical energy sapped before them. Of course, to enemy Servants, this would mean a gradual drainage of their magical energy and eventual death.
Of course, the creation of an empire as great as Roma is not a simple one. While one would assume that simply spending the first day of the Holy Grail War making a moderately sized territory before having Remus activate this Noble Phantasm is a wise decision, one must keep note that an empire is only as strong as the resources it has. The more resources that are under Rema’s control, the faster it could expand further. To truly succeed in utilizing Moles Necessrie, Remus must create a proper foundation for his empire in order for it to truly shine. Proper measures should be taken to ensure its survival after its creation as the activation of Moles Necessrie removes all notion of subtlety from Remus’s strategy, and the empire itself may be destroyed before it could truly reach greater heights. Furthermore, should Remus happen to unfortunately die outside of his controlled territory, this Noble Phantasm would come forth as a pitiful, short-ranged explosive attack. A pathetic end for one who had died taunting his brother's city instead of building his own.
