APPEARANCE: My hair is dark brown, cut short in traditional military style. My eyes are light blue and my skin is tanned from days spent in the hot sun. My face structure is strong boned and my body is well built and toned, i stand just under six feet and weigh around 90kg, scars cover my body from the many battles i have fought in.
ATTIRE: I wear the best armor money can buy, a gift from Caesar himself, wolf fur drapes my shoulders as apart of the top of my cape. Around my neck i wear a plain cross a tribute to my religion. In a small leather pouch i carry two small wooden figures i carved with nothing but my dagger, these resemble my wife when she was pregnant and my son, the two things i love most in this world.
WEAPONS: The sword i have sheathed on my left is a family heirloom given to me by my father who was given it by his father, i plan to pass this on to my own son. I carry a dagger given to me by Lucila for my 32 birthday, it is made of the finest materials money can buy.

PERSONA:
[LOYAL]- He is a loyal soldier but only to Rome and it's true King Marcus Aurelius. He would fight to the death for either, for Rome is the light without it the world would be nothing but darkness.

[TRUTH FULL]- He speaks his mind but knows when to hold his tongue, he never lies as they always have a way of biting you in the butt, if the need to lie arises he simply remains silent or change the subject.

[STRATEGIC]- Instead of allowing his emotions to guide him through every plan, he takes a different approach and attempts to find the best path possible in a tight situation.

[STERN]- Perhaps he can be too strict sometimes. he was raised with discipline, and he isn’t afraid to lower those who have disobeyed him or failed to follow an order.

[OBSERVANT]- He minds his surroundings, taking time to pay attention to detail, before every battle he scoops up a handful of dirt/sand and sniffs it, some find this odd, but he finds it helps him realize the terrain he his battling on.

[LEADERSHIP]- Without this trait he never would of made commander, he takes time to listing to everyone and makes time to get to know those he works with.

[FAMILY MAN]- His main goal is to his family first and foremost, they are his life and soul without them, well lets just say there would be reason in his mind to continue living.

[CHEERFUL]- He is always cracking wise jokes, he loves to see others smile, he finds a bit of humor can go along way. He is very hard to anger and always looks on the bright side of everything, that is unless he loses his family, then there is no bright side.

"Expecting no return, Here there is no penance, My skin begins to burn, So I held my head up high, Hiding hate that burns inside"

HISTORY: Maxiums history is not a long one, he was born into a noble family, his father owned much land, most of it farm land, being the only child maximus inherited all his parents had when they died, of natural courses. Maximus was always drawn to the army, his father brought him up as a well disciplined child, as soon as he was of age he joined the army and over the years slowly made his way up to commander, because of his natural ability as a soldier and leader, he caught the eye of Caesar, who took him under his wing and trained him to become what he is today. Because of his close bond with Caesar he grew up with his children, Lucila had always had a thing for him but maximus only saw her as his sister. Commodus had always been jelious of his father and sisters close bond with maximus and thus they had never gotten on.

While working in the Felix Legion he became close friends with a man named, Marcos who soon introduced Maximus to his sister Anastasia, sparks flew at their meeting, Maximus had never believed in love at first sight, that was until he met Anastasia.

He soon married her, but the call of duty meant long periods away from home, so Anastasia looked after the land while Maximus fought the battles. Maximus enjoyed the time he was home, getting stuck into plowing the fields with the workers and mending broken fences.

A few years down the track he got a letter from Anastasia telling him she was pregnant, over joyed he asked Caesar if he could go home to look after her until there child was born. Having been granted permission, he raced home after a few months he received a letter from the commander of the Felix Legion at the time that Marcos had been killed in battle, upset with his brother in-laws death Maximus and Anastasia decided if their baby was a boy they would name him after Marcos.

166 AD, it was midwinter and the fields were covered with snow, this was the day Maximus's baby was born, the baby turned out to be a boy, thus he was named Marcos after his uncle. Maximus had to return to the army around a week after his birth, as the commander had died and a formal funeral was to be held, shortly after this Maximus was promoted by Caesar himself to Commander, knowing his army would be in good hands.

"Which only fuels their selfish pride, We're held captive, Out from the sun, A sun that shines on only some, We the meek are all in one"
