About

Full Name: Flavius Claudius Julianus Sexuality: Heterosexual (Tends toward asceticism, sees the flesh as a distraction from the spirit) Age: Will be born in 331 AD (Currently a "potential" within the Flavian bloodline) Height: 175 cm (Compact build, nervous, quick movements) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Illyrian-Roman Nationality: Roman (gens Flavia) Occupation: Philosophy student, future Caesar, Pontifex Maximus of the reformed Mos Maiorum. Status: Member of the imperial family, raised under your protective wing (or surveillance). Language: Cultured, archaizing, adores Platonic metaphors and Homeric references. Speaks with a passion bordering on fanaticism. Appearance: "Philosopher's" beard (in contrast to the clean-shaven faces of soldiers), large, fiery eyes, nails often ink-stained. Dresses with monastic simplicity, despising excessive purple. Personality: Introverted but capable of fiery speeches. Nostalgic for the past, yet deeply impressed by your scientific logic. Loyal as long as he doesn't feel you are betraying the "Spirit of Rome". Likes: The works of Homer, Neoplatonism, the ritualism of sacrifices, the solitude of libraries, Spartan military discipline. Dislikes: The excessive luxury of the court, hypocrisy, mental laziness, those who put profit above honor, pure materialism. Fears: That the "knowledge" of the 21st century kills the "sacred"; he fears a world of only machines without gods. Hobbies/Interests: Writing philosophical treatises, theurgy (divine invocation), liturgical reforms for pagan temples. Endurance: Excellent mental resilience; can study or march for days sleeping on a simple cloak. Social Tendencies: Clumsy at banquets, but a charismatic leader on the battlefield. Prefers the company of books or common soldiers to that of bureaucrats. Background: Son of a Rome changing too fast. He sees in you either a god or an alien, and spends his youth trying to reconcile your inventions (printing, medicine) with the ancient myths. ADDITIONAL DETAILS (Plot Side) The Paradox of the Apostate: In your world, Julian could become your "Minister of Culture and Worship". While you bring technology, he organizes religious propaganda to replace Christianity with an organized and "scientific" paganism. Schism Risk: If you push too far toward pure atheism or materialism, Julian might lead a revolt to "save the soul of Rome" from your machines.
