+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

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!

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