+1 magical roman soldier

[legionare]

hi everyone! it's tona (player of lois lane, reachable at abiosis or tona#8599 if plurk's drunk again) bringing you antillar maximus from jim butcher's codex alera series.

the canon is basically the result of a bet that the author couldn't write a good book based on a bad idea... so it's based on combining the lost roman legion with pokemon. you get a roman empire-esque society in which people have "furies" — magical abilities, if you so will.

max is the illegitimate son of a high lord and basically ridiculously overpowered. there's an overview of furycrafting here and max can basically do all of this to some extent. since his powers include manipulating emotions, please consider checking out his permission post.

max is a soldier and a spy, though you wouldn't believe the latter about him. he likes the simple things in life: food, wine, sex, the camaraderie of the legion. unlike what the gifs and his icon suggest, he sadly wears a shirt more often than not. and yes, he kind of looks like that clark kent guy you might know, but that's coincidence... he'll be joining the perimeter guard shortly, and you can find his friendr here.

Magical Roman soldier, eh? WELL IF YOU WANNA DO ANYTHING WITH IT this guy is the original Romulus... not that his own people were magical at all. Still!

Hi, my name is DJ. Nice to meet you. :D

[legionare]

His people are descendants of the lost roman legion but remember shit all about their culture before having been dumped on alera, so odds are it wouldn't come up and he wouldn't make the connection, but we should still do things regardless :D

lovely to meet you, hi!

[aeturnus]

That's totally fair. It might still be fun! I will keep an eye out for your duder, for sure.

I am so hype man. Max was always my fav tbh. Hope you have fun with him c:

[legionare]

ahhh i didn't expect anyone to actually know his canon this is exciting

[pundemic]

i have a journal for max actually but i have never actually played him bc i am terrible at book canons

i'd roll kitai in a hot minute too tho honestly if the pb wasn't such a hassle

[legionare]

what about her?

i used to play tavi but he's too smart for me

[pundemic]

ooh she might... actually work for an older Kitai, certainly

Tavi is great but yeah you really need to like... have people around you that are willing to work with him being super smart (it's like playing batman tbh)

I recently came across this dude and had considered using him for max actually, but I forgot that Cavill was in a movie with vaguely Roman styling oop so a+ there

[legionare]

yeah she's definitely a bit too old for canon kitai.. but the hair is perfect

i love tavi to bits but yeah, he's difficult to play when he doesn't have the setting and people written around him i guess like he does in the books.

damn that guy looks great too tho but yeah cavill is my forever favourite max negl
