Victor Nevsky

Gaius Julius Caesar

Victor Nevsky has thinning blonde hair and brown eyes. He stands at only 5’9”, but he often looks taller than he really is (might be because he likes to position himself on platforms). He usually has a bit of blonde scruff on his face, and some lines around his lips and eyes are starting to show. His skin tends to carry a tan, and his body has a tone to it, though it is no longer what it used to be when he was younger. He is seen most often in suits, but when he is with “his army”, he is just as down and dirty as the lowest soldier. He is 42 years old.

Able to recognize the other reincarnated


Unable to recognize Octavius and Brutus; still suffers from seizures.

Victory Nevsky knows. He has known since he was born, and it took a while for him to accept the name he was given—and when he was younger, it took a while to accept the given names of others. Fortunately, he got out of the habit of blurting out the names he knew them as, and he figured out how to reconcile his present from his past.

Yet, his past drives him. He uses the memories to establish himself. He set himself quickly on the path to politics, pleased to have been raised already in a notable family; they claimed to be descendants of Russian Tsars, and the Tsars claimed descent from the Caesars, so…even if it is all lies, lies win.

He learned the politics through study, but was drafted to war before he could finish—he still hasn’t finished, either. He didn’t need to. He proved himself in the war, rubbed all the right elbows, and was vaulted into stardom as a prodigy. He used that, and in the continued warfare, he’s proven himself a capable leader. Looting, pillaging, and the like, has also given him a substantial amount of his own independent wealth, as have other, less than savory, methods. Extortion and threats work just as well as sweet promises.

Wealthy, well-named, and with his eye on the same crown he was unable to grasp as Caesar, he is ever-aware of who he surrounds himself with, and he is always, actively, looking for Brutus.​

Aemilia Lapin

Gaius Octavius

Aemilia Lapin has brown hair with some red tints to it, and blue eyes. Her skin is pale, but it can tan; it just doesn’t get the chance. She stands at 5’5”, and is not as well-toned as some of her fellows in the academy, due to her inability to work out for long stretches of time. Her features are thus soft, to her eternal frustration. Rather than cover it up with manly attire, though, Aemilia dresses femininely. However, she has not been afraid to rip those nice clothing or dirty them up to get a job done. She is 19 years old.

Hyper-clever


Asthma and easy to tire.

Aemilia Lapin was born to a good name, but a poor family. Their nobility was, indeed, in name only. She was an only child, and frowned upon for her sickliness. It was uncertain if she would survive infancy since her fits of crying could also cause an asthma attack, but, she did.

Aemilia does believe she was born for some greater purpose, and throughout her years in school, she has shown her intelligence and her hard-working spirit. She was also quite argumentative when she was younger, and liked to mock others, but fortunately she grew out of it…at least visibly. Alcina taught her the virtue of silence. Alcina intrigued Aemilia, since Aemilia could see the other’s intelligence and creativity from watching her draw, but others didn’t care.

Aemilia took her as a friend and helped her. She learned sign language to be able to communicate with and translate for Alcina, and she pushed Alcina to go to the Academy, where she has done a good job. Aemilia also went into the academy, a dream since she was young, on a full-ride scholarship and a year early. Not everyone has liked it, but she’s learned quick to make others feel important about their contributions, and to make some of her own ideas seem like the ideas of others.

Egos are oh-so fragile. She stands in the senate for her family, as her mother wants nothing to do with it, and her father died in war.​

Atticus Lieven

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Atticus’s hair has all gone gray, and the wrinkles on his skin have become more prominent. He was never much of a fighter, but he was once an officer. No tone of that remains. He is of an average skin tone, and rather soft. He needs glasses now to put over his hazel eyes to read. He stands at 5’7”, and tends to dress rather casually in jeans and long-sleeved shirts. He is 51 years old.

Photographic memory


Difficulty keeping track of his memories.

Atticus Lieven made himself into the man he is. He was not born into a good family, but they had started to become wealthy. They invested in him and his brother, and he made good on their investment. He went to war when he was called, even though he had no desire to serve. He became a highly political individual, and he still is, serving on the senate whenever it is called.

He has a bad habit of interrupting Victor, but that’s fine by him—he hates Victor, and all of his military dogs. He wants the wars to end, and he’s certain Victor has just started to make up threats now to keep hold on his position as Consul, which he’s held for far too many years in a row.

Victor and Atticus have had a long time rivalry, and both have polarizing views.

Atticus tries to undermine Victor in the Academy, too, making sure to teach in ways that make Victor’s ideals seem foolish. It doesn’t always stick, but he’s trying to use whatever influence he can to destroy Victor. Adding to the fact he never forgets anything, he does have quite a bit of damning ammunition on him. Yet, the other seems able to shake it off.

In his spare time, Atticus plays chess with some of his students, and makes up new tea blends from his garden. He’s obsessed with botany, and he found a kindred spirit in Alcina. Alcina even helped Atticus design the garden to optimize it for the plants that he wanted. Despite this, he finds Alcina’s inclination towards war disheartening.​

Corbin Hawke

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus

Corbin Hawke has wavy, though often unkempt, dark brown hair that falls past his ears, and not quite to his shoulders. He has green eyes and fair skin, though that seems to be from an inability to tan that has led him to an obsession with sunscreen. He stands at 5’11”, and has a lean musculature. He can fight; he often chooses not to. He is 24 years old.




Stealthier than a human ought to be.


Animals hate him and plenty are actively hostile, sans birds.

Corbin Hawke was born to an eccentric mother and a rigid father. He ended up becoming something of a mix of the two, smooth and strict when he needs to be, but at heart he seems to be an eccentric. He glided through school as teacher’s pets, good at being liked and earning favors.

The same was true in the Academy, though he did not earn stellar grades, his professors liked him. He was asked to stay on and help out with a few history courses, so he became a TA. He hands out favors like candy to those he likes, and definitely helped some get through the academy with a higher GPA than they deserved. He’s well connected with the staff, and can pull favors on the behalf of his friends.

Those he dislikes, though…he tanks their GPA. Such was the case with Aemilia, though she has always fought him tooth and nail, going above his head and usually winning. In spite of this, she seems to continue to take classes with him as the TA. He doesn’t understand it, at all, though he’s heard that she just loves history…and he ends up being the TA for the periods she loves.​

Tricia “Trish” Celer

Marcus Junius Brutus

Tricia Celer stands at 5’7”, and is well-muscled and toned, having recently graduated from the Academy. She has dark brown hair that falls a bit past her shoulders, straight, and hazel-yellow eyes. She prefers to dress in loose-fitting clothing, though isn’t often allowed to given her station in life. So, she is often seen in flowing dresses that mask her musculature. She is 23.

More agile than a human ought to be. Very fast.


Insomnia; nightmares. Every time she does sleep.

Tricia was born to an old and ancient family with roots that traced themselves back to Rome, rather like Victor’s. They pressed her to make a name for herself, and always used Victor as the example as someone who had been young, and who achieved much.

So, Tricia tried to follow in those large footprints, and all the while she found her family starting to dislike Victor more and more. They encouraged her still to be similar, but to heed more of what his opponents were saying, not that his opponents ever spoke loud enough to do anything. Tricia fell under the wing of Atticus in the Academy, but though she admired his intelligence, she found that his waiting around was…frustrating.

She was ever-impatient, partially because she always wanted to be doing something. In stillness, she felt troubled. Of course, she has an issue sleeping, and stillness always seems like something one should do for sleep. Since Tricia can remember, she’s had trouble sleeping and trouble with nightmares. She’s practically addicted to caffeine now.

When she graduated, Victor took notice of her, and asked her to join him. She became an officer in his military, though during peace times it doesn’t mean much. Up close with Victor, she isn’t sure why so many hate him. He has some great ideas.

She has met many people through this connection, and she does enjoy the doors this is opening to a political career, even if right now all she does is go through drills. Well, and help out at the Academy. She’s signed on as something of an assistant for swordplay.​

Alcina Stillman

Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa

Alcina Stillman stands at 5’6” and has dark skin, with brown-green eyes, and black hair that naturally curl into ringlets. She is toned, but not as musculature as some. Even so, she tends to surprise people with how strong she actually is, and has broken plenty of arms before—some on purpose. She likes to dress in shorts and tank tops, casual at heart. She is 22 years old.

Superhumanly strong


Mute

Alcina was born mute, and lowborn, so hopes for her were small. Her parents did their best for her, but they couldn’t afford to send her to a special school that would truly be able to help her. That turned out for the best, as Alcina met Aemilia, and despite the two years difference, Aemilia became a huge help.

Alcina was withdrawn for a while, always just drawing or designing or writing. Aemilia helped her come out of her bubble by translating her thoughts to others, and Alcina started to smile more. She even built up the confidence to join the Academy. She might have just been allowed in for diversity, and given a scholarship for that, but she does not care. She’s proven herself quite competent and able to keep up with her peers in both intelligence and physical. Though, it was lonely the first couple of years, she found others were willing to try and understand her.

She is graduating this year, without a few of her friends, and has high hopes of joining the military. She has imagined fantastic naval battles in her head, and drawn up designs for ships over and over again, though it has been noted they look more like historical ships than anything that would be useful nowadays.​

Seth Wendorf


Pompey


Seth is a well-built military man, who's skin is lightly tanned from being in the sun. He is tall man, standing at about 6' 2", and he posses a commanding stature which was likely obtained from years in the military. His eye are a light, icy blue, while his hair is a windswept blonde, which has a dark enough hue that it borders on being called light brown in certain lightings. He is 41 years of age.


Seth does have a heavy limp in his left leg, causing his gait to be halting and uneven. Many whisper that it was gained on one of his military ventures, but Seth and those closest to him know that it has been his demon since he was a child, and it was seemly a birth defect. Something about the bones not being right, or at least that's what the doctors say.


Is good at grasping the lay of his surroundings.


Sever limp in his left leg.


Seth learned very early on in his life that the world ultimately runs in an every man for himself manner. Having grown up in a rough environment and having a bad home life as a child, he has grown to know that he must fight for power and recognition. This lead seth to join the military, in which he became known as a good commander. However, some would claim that he wasn't all he seemed to be and that he would sometimes take the credit for things he wasn't really responsible for. Only the good, heroic things mind you.


Although he was successful in his military pursuits, the limp in his leg had always hampered his abilities. He worked around it though, favoring the motto 'work smarter, not harder'. Seth's ability to grasp the lay of the land quickly, even in foreign lands, compensated the disability he faced. That's not to say the limp made him incapable, in fact, the disadvantage has probably made Seth hardier and more tenacious then most. It taught him how to over come struggle, and to keep going towards his goals even when everything is against him.


Not too long ago Seth decided he'd try his hand at politics. Even though he had very little experience or training for winning election, he already possessed the skill set to worm his way into his desired position with his silver tongue and smooth talking. Thus, here he is now, taking up his position of co-consul.

Kayden Whittemore


Mark Antony


Kayden is extremely well-built, which is a reflection of his skills as a fighter and his overall athletic tendencies. His skin has been darkened to a deeper color due to the extensive amounts of time he spends outside training. Kayden has shaggy, unevenly cut dark brown hair that fall in front of his face in the form of bangs, though it is not long enough to impede his vision and his eyes are bluish-grey color. He isn't overly tall, but instead he is about average with a height of 5' 11". He is still young compared to most with his skill set as he is only 24 years old.


It must be said that Kayden is quite competitive, which is likely were many of his gifts spring from in nature. And with that competitive mindset come a fiery temper to match, which can cause him to lash out verbally towards both his friends and strangers occasionally.


Super amazing fighter.


Has a gambling addiction.


Since a very early age Kayden had been that kid who was good at all the sports provided by his elementary school's gym class. As elementary school morphed into middle school and eventually high school, Kayden only became better and better at these sports. He was able to keep his grades up well enough to stay out of trouble with his teachers, those he was far from stupid. The classroom just wasn't his best environment.


A year after joining the Academy Kayden developed a major problem with gambling. He just couldn't seem to stop, and he eventually wound up broke and unable to buy himself meals. This caused him to drop out of the Academy and join the army, which was an area at which he excelled. Now he is stationed in the town of his old Academy under Victor Nevsky.

Lillian Leitner


Crassus


Lillian has a head of straight whitish blonde hair that cascades down the sides of her face. Her skin is a fair milky white, and she possess green eyes. While she is on the thinner side, Lillian still has a sturdy stance, and she has a bit of power to back herself up with. However, Lillian aims for more of a political career with little involvement in the military. And, besides, Lillian would be more likely to try to diffuse a tense situation then partake in a fight. Typically Lillian can be seen sporting a pair of glasses with sleek black rims while wearing clothes that would fall under the sweater category. She is currently 39 years old.


Has a knack for detecting precious metals.


Sends off an untrustworthy vibe. Causes her to have few (if any) genuine friends. Lonely.


Lillian lived in a loving, and supportive home as an only child. Often times she was quite lonely, but she was somewhat anti-social so making and keeping friends was difficult for her. This cause Lillian to poor herself into her schoolwork, and that put her at the top of her class. She got many offers from many different schools and ended up graduating from one with a degree in business.


After she graduated, Lillian decided to move to this town and settle down here, opening a book shop that specializes in texts particularly helpful for the students in the near by Academy. However, after a few years, Lillian also entered politics and managed to secure herself a seat on the senate. Undoubtedly, Lillian is ambitious, and she envisions herself becoming rich and/or ruling someday. Whichever comes to pass.

Brooke Zelen


Cassius


Brooke is a lithe girl, small and thin. Her graceful form only stands at 4'9", yet don't let her size fool you: she isn't exactly weak. No, she may not be the best fighter (oh, definitely not the best) but she still posses a danger as she can defend herself. Although she may look like the wind could blow her over, in truth she is quite wiry. She is also known to hold petty grudges for far too long, and rightfully deserved grudges even longer. Her most common wear consists of clothing that is loose and low hanging.


Brooke's skin is a pale shade of white, and her eyes a deep amber. Her hair is a dark brown, which she usually has forced into a stylish position. One clump of hair has been dyed scarlet, casting a streak of red through her hair. She is 22 years of age and ready to graduate.


The entire point of going to the Academy for Brooke was to learn how to be a leader and rise among people as a leader. Having succeeded in that, now she's going on to see if she can apply this knowledge for her own gains.


Great attention to detail, is a great observer.


Paranoid.


Brooke was a spoiled child who grew up to be an entitled brat. Her rich parents were the ones who paid for her to end up in this Academy, though many student could do without her. Brooke is sassy and young, and she possesses very little respect for her peers and her elders.


Despite her bitter attitude towards others, Brooke does know when to tone it down and try to make friends. However, friends is a loose term since she is fearful of anyone she lets too close to her stab her in the back (both literally and figuratively). Because of her paranoia, Brooke sometimes leaps to false conclusions based on the very smallest bits of evidence.

Mikayla Kleiner


Maecenas


Mikayla has curly red hair that falls to her shoulders in an untamed manner, and reddish brown freckles that cover her pale complexion. She is friendly and outgoing, but she is not much of a fighter at all. She is relatively weak, physically at least, although she is fit. Currently she is 21 years old.


Very empathetic.


Physically weak, unskilled fighter.


Mikayla had never been one to favor being a fighter. Instead, even when she was a small child, she'd like to let her imagination run wild as she looked through books, studied poetry, listened to music, and viewed/tried her hand at the arts. As such, the arts are ingrained deeply within her. At the moment Mikayla is studying psychology and art, but she has another couple years to go before she graduates.
