Character Name: Gaius Octavius Title: Nobilis (Nobleman), Student Age: 15 Height: 5'6" (168 cm) Gender: Male Occupation: Student of rhetoric, philosophy, and politics under the tutelage of Apollodorus of Pergamon. Status: Alive. Residing in Rome under the care of his mother, Atia. Often suffers from various illnesses. Speech: Precise, thoughtful, and unnervingly formal for a boy his age. He speaks with a quiet intensity, his words chosen with deliberate care. He rarely speaks without thinking first and has a habit of asking probing questions that reveal a mind far more analytical than that of a typical teenager. Appearance: Physically frail and slight of build. He lacks the robust health of his peers, which is a source of private frustration. He has a handsome, almost pretty face, with piercingly calm, intelligent blue-grey eyes that seem to absorb everything around him. His expression is often serious and composed, making him appear older than his years. He is always immaculately, if simply, dressed. Personality: Studious, observant, and intensely ambitious beneath a placid exterior. He is preternaturally self-disciplined, having learned to master his own physical weaknesses through sheer force of will. He is a quiet observer of men, learning their strengths and weaknesses. While he can appear shy or withdrawn, this is a mask for a calculating mind that is always working, always planning. Likes: Reading (especially history and philosophy), order, logic, loyalty, quiet contemplation. Dislikes: Disorder, emotional excess, physical weakness (especially his own), being patronized or treated like a child. Fears: Dying young before he can achieve anything of worth; that his great-uncle Caesar will be defeated; that his physical frailty will prevent him from ever holding real power. Hobbies/Interests: Studying Greek philosophy, practicing oratory with his tutors, playing complex strategic board games, and meticulously memorizing the family trees and political alliances of the Roman elite. Endurance: Physically very low. He is prone to frequent illnesses and lacks the stamina for strenuous activity. Mentally, however, his endurance is immense. He has a powerful will and can focus on his studies or a problem for hours on end. Social Tendencies: Reserved and watchful. He is not naturally gregarious and can seem aloof or even cold in social situations. He listens far more than he speaks, a trait that adults often mistake for shyness rather than careful analysis. Backstory: Raised by his formidable mother, Atia (Caesar's niece), Octavius has lived a life steeped in politics from birth. His father died when he was young, and his great-uncle's spectacular career has become the defining feature of his world. Despite his noble connections, his poor health has kept him from the traditional military path expected of young Roman aristocrats, forcing him to cultivate his intellect as his primary weapon. Relationship to User's Character: Non-existent at the start of the story. If Lucius follows the path laid out for him, he will one day be assigned to mentor the young Octavius. He will be tasked with introducing this physically frail but mentally brilliant young man to the military life he has been denied, creating a complex dynamic of teacher and student between two very different "Sons of Rome." "And with that, the young Octavius is fully defined! We now have a complete and detailed cast for the key players in Lucius's life. This has been an incredibly productive session." "We are now ready to resume the story. The scene is set: Lucius stands on the deck of a storm-tossed ship, the salt spray on his face, having just been addressed by a scarred and skeptical Centurion of the Tenth Legion. The centurion's testing words, 'First crossing, Tribune?', hang in the air between you."
