In Fine, Solum Est Tibi (A Quest in Rome, During The Fall of the Republic)

[x] Plan: Lone Wolf
- [x] Claudia Nerva
- [x] -[X]Daughter: The Gods cursed him for a time, with an only child being a daughter. But soon he forgot such majesties and treated you not as a girl, but as his heir.
- [x] You are an only child. The Gods cursed your Father, and thus, made you alone in your family name.
- [x] The Patrician You are a patrician, the true nobility of Rome, the upper class of the Republic. Yours is an ancient family, hailing back to the very founding of Rome itself, and some would say even older than that, following Aeneas, all the way from Troy. Once, your family had numerous branches across the Republic, and were respected and held in high regard by the people and the Senate of Rome alike. But one by one, your line died out and your name fell into disrepute, from the plague, from war to Hannibal's butchery of Canne massacring several lines all at once. The name you have quickly devolved from respect to something of the dredges of society becoming associated with flesh merchants and slavers. A member of your family has not held the Consulate, or even sat in the Senate, for well over a century. Your father, through his actions, has started well on the path to restoring the long-lost honor of your name, but with him dead, the legacy of your family rests upon your shoulders.

Oh good, we're back on track to make it a Expeditions: Rome quest, but instead of it being one of Sulla's allies, it's SULLA HIMSELF.

I shit you not, when I rolled the dice the first roll was a nat 100.

Won't tell you what it's for, but its good shit.

But anyway, I'm keeping it quiet for now, and if you all beg, I will write what those rolls you have rolled mean in story.
 
I'm very glad my 3 is gone, I'm sorry for my shameful display of die roll ability, I shall go to the alps and train until my dice become mighty.

Here is the Money that your father Left Behind.



Edit: He Left you Jack Shit in terms of physical wealth as an inheritance!

In the end, your Father was a frugal man, who shunned coin at every measure, purchasing large stores of wine grapes to ferment over the years, Purchasing horses, slaves, and seeds of the highest quality, and paying, above all else, for scrolls, a large untold quantity of scrolls that you used to read and to practice writing.

Some of the earliest days you could remember were waking up, and being forced to read the scrolls that your father prepared for you for the day when you would be wed, as a way to not only keep you useful to your would-be husband, but to also secure your own financial and communication independence.

He saw illiteracy as a grave crime for any honest roman, and wished, above all else, that his child not suffer the same fate of illiteracy that he suffered for much of his life, and of your mother, who could never read at all, who loved it when you plopped onto her lap, and read to her the stories written by your tutors and the transcriptions of the myths of your mother homeland.

Your favorite is the Tales of Zagreus... at least on of them, the one where he fights through Hades itself to meet his mother in spring, only for him to die and return to the underworld. And the promise he made to her.

To always meet her in the spring, so that they never have to suffer from loneliness, or be forgotten.

And as you grew, more and more, you realized that he never wanted you to be lost or forgotten.

But in his attempt to enrich yourself with knowledge, he left little in the way of coin when he died.

Your Father, for the longest time, was a supporter of Marius, and his reforms, and even a proponent in helping them take off, a big military hero, his support, at least among the people was seen as a gold seal among a priceless jeweled crown.

But then when he had to choose between his General Sulla and Marius, he had but one choice to make.

He chose his General, his Master, His Legate....the man that he served with distinction.

That was what he chose.

And the Marians never forgave, and never forget.

If there was ever a man popular in the Senate, it was your father. Even when he wasn't a member, tales of his gallentry and success, along with much of the booty he made when on the campaign. Your Father, ever the man of action, made sure his friends, and his allies told stories of his missions, of how many men he killed...

When he was promoted from Socii, Evocati, To Centurion.

News from him, perhaps more than his legate, was the talk of Rome. Even the great victories in spain were only the highlights of a legendary career.

The Awards he earned were also vast and numerous.

You remembered all of them, as he told stories of each one of them.

Three Gold Crowns, all earned in Spain, fighting from the front of his column and slaying ten men each time. He never spoke about the actions, or of the joy, he took in fighting, but he seemed to have shame whenever he spoke about them.

One Mural Crown, when he stormed the Walls of some Barbarian City that he didn't even remember the name of. He was the first on the wall, and the first man who greeted the Legate, when the city was secured, covered in blood, entrails and wounds.

And finally, Three Grass Crowns, many of them during the final battles of Spain. He never talked about those awards, not ever, save that he earned them by doing his duty.

How he earned three in less than six months, many said it was a conspiracy, that he was a traitor who betrayed the Spanish. You never believed their lies.

Had he been a Legate, he would have been awarded a Triumph. instead, he was discharged honorably and was able to go to his fields, and farm, as Cincinatius had.

There were few that were seen as more desirable then you. Your father, the hero of Spain, even when he was not the general in command, his stories and bravery made all who saw you as a way to achieve such greatness.

To add what was great about his body, and from yours, and bring them into their own line.

One name stood out amongst all the rest, a boy whom, in all eyes, was worth nothing else.

Gaius Julius Caeser./Servilla

Your father loved Sulla like a father, and Sulla loved him as a Son, and sees you as not only his child, and heir, but as a surrogate granddaughter.

It's just it's written for a female character so I wasn't sure. Will it be changed if the male vote somehow overtakes?

Oh, that Caeser one was just for one. The other I forgot to post.

The Female Option is:

Servilia

I'm an idiot.

And yes, it will change with regards to who wins.

So I'm almost certainly gonna oppose any votes do marry Caesar, both because I don't want our character to be second Banana to anyone and second, The Marians hate us and Sulla basically considers us part of the family, marrying the boy who in history only escaped his family getting brutally purged by Sulla because he of his young age, is not going to help us and might interfere with the best advantage we have.

Yeah uh, I don't plan on supporting a marriage with yet another big OTL figure. We forge our own destiny, not gonna be shackled trying to be a Caesar fangirl and fellating myself at being his wife.

Good news, I'm not forcing you to do shit!

After all, it would be bad form to railroad, and I hate people who accuse me of railroading, when I clearly dont.

If anything, once I get started, the rails are fucking gone!
 
Marrying Caesar feels like meta-gaming, but it would be hilarious, so it'll probably get a vote from me.:lol:

Remember, the wife of Caesar must be above suspicion.
