Sooo, yes, unless I get suddenly struck by inspiration and get really bored of what I'm doing (which is likely), there probably won't be replies from me for a couple of days. I'll be lurking around though, because I like to have distractions. Tongue

INDEX // THE MUST READS // THE CANONS

It has been ten years since the initial outbreak and civilization is slowly rebuilding itself. The city of New Harbour stands as a beacon of the Human spirit. Safe (mostly) and secure, (somewhat), New Harbour is home. Though, there are though who revel in the collapse of government and society. Outlaw gangs that roam the wild and take what they want and kill whomever they feel like.

And then there are the zombies. The reason for the collapse. No one saw it coming. They were monsters from comic books and horror movies, not any threat to be taken seriously. Or so everyone thought. Now, hordes of decomposing corpses walk the wilderness, searching for fresh food.

Life goes on though, even among these dangers. Protect yourself, protect your family, and live for the day. It is all you can do. ]]> <![CDATA[Same same, but different {Domitilla}]]> http://www.aeternaroma.com/showthread.php?tid=26101 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:59:46 +0000 http://www.aeternaroma.com/showthread.php?tid=26101 May, 59 AD

He's good at swordfighting and he's worked at the slave market as a guard until about a year ago, when his wife and child died and he became what he'd always looked a bit down upon.

How to plot with Manius?

- There's a chance that any slave that's been on the market a year ago or more, will have met Manius there, trying to keep the more fierce slaves under control.
- Anyone who has anything to do with his new mistress
- At the moment he's not interested in relationships, but that doesn't mean you can't give it a try.
- Manius has always liked to gamble... he's trying to stop, but if his mistress allows him out, there's a good chance you can find him at some random tavern, gambling and drinking...

Anything else you can come up with, random meetings with random people is fine too Big Grin

Vampires have "come out of the coffin" and there were mixed reactions. Some people took to them with great enthusiasm and became followers. Others didn't take to them at all and they ended up hating them. Louisiana has the highest population of vampires, and that is where the plot takes place.

Sookie Stackhouse is a telepath and works at Merlottes. Her boss, Sam Merlotte, is a shape shifter but he keeps it a secret. Tara Thorton just got hired into Merlottes as a bar maid and there is plenty of drama.

A vampire, Bill, has just moved into the area and takes a liking to Sookie. Eric Northman, Sherrif of Area 5 has become intrigued with the telepath. The Queen, Sophie-Anne Leclerq has also taken an interest in Sookie.

There is Jason Stackhouse and all of the others as well. There is plenty of drama to unfold and plenty of lives to be played out.

THE CHARACTER
-----------------------------------------------------

NAME: Manius Gallus
DATE OF BIRTH: Springtime, 36 AD – 23 years of age
GENDER: Male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual - however, the thing with males has not been his own choice so far

CITIZENSHIP: Non Civium, Mancipiae, Servus

OCCUPATION: Slave - bodyguard

LIKES:
Gambling
Fighting
Being alone
Swordfighting
Drinking
Working
Pain

DISLIKES::
Himself
Bullies
Darkness
People who kill/hurt women and children
Slaves, despite that he is one himself
Too much time to think

FEARS:
That someone will one day also kill his father for his debts
That he’ll fail as a guard to his mistress and she’s hurt
The people he owes money for gambling

ASPIRATIONS:
To never again lose someone he’s sworn to protect
To stop gambling
To pay his debts and feel ‘free’ from them again

GENERAL PERSONALITY:

When you meet Manius, you may not be able to guess from the start, what’s beneath the façade he puts on for most people. He seems like a very casual guy, although he tends to keep to himself if he can and doesn’t say a lot either – but he does what he has to do, he carries out work as he must and that’s all he cares about. As long as he has something to do, he does not have to think about himself. Manius does not try to be mysterious, but can often come across like this, because of his nature with keeping to himself. His self-esteem isn’t really bad, but it does sometimes tend to go up and down. Sometimes he’ll think highly of himself, and sometimes he thinks he’s worth nothing. He does not take compliments well, if they’re given to him, and always thinks he can do better and won’t believe you if you tell him it’s the truth.

What lies behind his façade is a man who feels that life has treated him badly and he knows who the reason for that is… himself. Manius does not exactly have bad self esteem, but he knows that he failed those that should be able to trust him. It’s his fault that his wife and son were killed, and he blames himself for this. Not any other people, not even the gods… but himself. He doesn’t care what happens to him, and is the kind of slave who will willingly take a beating if he must. Not that he is really inferior; he just believes he’s deserved it. He takes each day as it comes to him, although this is one of his big problems in life, besides the gambling – he rarely thinks about what may happen tomorrow, as long as he is alive and healthy right now.

Losing wife and child did change Manius, and living with his previous master and his sons did the same. Manius has a little of a bad temper. Maybe it’s always been there, lurking, he did always love to fight, after all… but now that he has no wife and no child to make it up to anymore, he snaps more easily. He tries to keep it down, as he knows something bad might happen if he does not act well, but really he’s just mostly mad at himself and the world. Whenever something goes wrong for him, he blames himself and he may snap. So far he’s not had any real desire for women after he lost his wife, he does not think he deserves them and he fears that if he finds another woman he likes and wants to marry… what if she dies too? He can’t stand losing any more people he likes, and he will do all he can to not fail his new mistress all while also trying to not fall for her.

-----------------------------------------------------
APPEARANCE
-----------------------------------------------------

CELEBRITY CLAIM: Francois Arnaud
HAIR: Dark brown
EYES: brown
BUILD: Agile and well trained
HEIGHT: 5’8”
STYLE OF DRESS:

As a slave, Manius does not have much to say in what he prefers to wear and when. But he does enjoy wearing dark colored breeches and a pale colored or dark tunica over the breeches. When fighting and working as a bodyguard, Manius wears leather armor too. Manius has a dark grey cloak. He’s always wearing a weapon on his person too, mostly a sword or a knife.

GENERAL APPEARANCE:

Manius has dark brown and somewhat curly hair. He does whatever is asked of him to do with it… some owners have wanted his hair short and others have wanted it long. At the moment, he keeps it halfway short, so it can go both ways. When his hair is this length, it tends to place itself however the wind places it. He has hazel brown eyes and a very sculptured face, which some have called ‘wolf-like’. Manius will often look a little scruffy, he does not really care much about his looks; he doesn’t even try to hide the scars on the back of his neck, that his former master gave him, although his long hair does hide it a bit. His skin is somewhat pale, and his body is well trained yet not overly muscular looking… he merely looks in good shape and is very agile, ready to move when he has to.

SIBLINGS: N/A
SPOUSE(S):
--Previous Wife – Dianna Marcia, deceased
CHILDREN:

OTHER RELATIONS:

BIOGRAPHY:

Manius Gallus was born the son to a couple of free plebes in Rome. Publius and Aurelia weren’t married out of love, but out of alliance. Publius worked at the slave market and Aurelia mostly stayed at home. She quickly became with child after she married Publius, and gave birth to their only son and child, who was named Manius. He was no love child, but he was their only child, and he was a boy. The first few years he spent at home with his mother, but once he grew into a young man, Publius began bringing him to his work so he could learn more than a woman could teach him. Slaves didn’t interest Manius a lot; he preferred to play and to fight. Publius saw this, how his son would pick up any wooden stick and pretend to fend for himself. He decided that it might be good if his boy was properly trained in fighting.

And so a lot of the coin Publius earned went to a teacher, who taught Manius everything about swordfighting and fighting in general. Manius loved it. And he loved learning how to guess what his opponent’s next move would be. All in all, his teacher told his father that Manius was a good student and that he might make a good living out of fighting. Manius could become a teacher himself, or perhaps a guard or a bodyguard. It was also suggested that Manius enlisted for the army, but he was the only son of the family and both Publius and Aurelia didn’t want to lose him. So he grew up, learning about slave trade from his father and swordfighting from his teacher. Manius lived a more or less carefree life, he did not have many worries and he thrived. His parents made sure he never needed anything, and that he could do as he pleased, as long as he was a good student in whatever he was learning.

Manius grew up though, and he became a young man who had his first taste of wine and his first taste of women… and his first taste of taverns at night. He liked it there, and while he was still young, nothing more than 15 years of age, he discovered gambling and dice. Manius never had any siblings and never had to compete for anything at home, so gambling was a new, fun and interesting thing, where you weren’t always sure you got what you wanted. In fact, you could lose… and you could lose a lot. But he thought he did somewhat well, sometimes he lost, but not too much. And at least he also managed to find a job, working as a guard at the slave market where his father also worked, trying to keep the most ill-tempered slaves in check. Naturally they disliked being kept down by such a young man, but Manius enjoyed it. At least he was no slave.

When he was 19 years of age, his parents had found a wife for him. They met once, before they became husband and wife and she moved in to live with Manius and his parents to begin with. But when she became pregnant, Manius found a little place for them to live, not too far from where he worked. It wasn’t the best part of Rome, but it was good enough and it was his own to share with Dianna and soon his son. Said son was named Manius Gallus Minor, and Manius adored his son. He felt that he hadn’t had enough admiration from his own parents, he was just a produce of their marriage, and his son should feel he was more than that. Things began to go wrong though, when his son was born. First his mother became ill, and she died a few months later. And Manius was still gambling and had begun gaining quite the debt… he said he gambled to earn more money for his family, but the fact was, that he had a tendency to lose. He simply wasn’t focused enough anymore. He began getting threats about how he had to pay what he owed, and he promised that as soon as he gained coin, he’d pay. But often those coins were spent on more games.

One year ago, Manius paid the ultimate price for not paying what he owed. He knew the gambling world could be cruel, he had seen and heard what happened to others, but he never thought it would happen to himself. Yet he arrived home from work one day, only to find his wife and son murdered and gathered on the floor of his home. Manius cried and yelled, but it didn’t bring them back. It was his fault… and he lost all will to try and move on without them. Just the fact that they also killed his little son… he couldn’t live with it. Manius hated himself for what he’d done. He ended up deciding that he did not deserve to be free, he did not deserve this life he had. Besides, he’d lost everything in gambling, he had no money and now not even a family. Manius did what he never thought he’d do… he sold himself to slavery.

The first year he lived as a slave was spent with a family consisting of a couple of parents and three sons. Manius was to teach the youngest sons how to use the sword, but meanwhile the eldest son – who was at his own age, but bigger – decided that a fine male slave like Manius could be used in other ways too. Manius was already feeling bad about himself and chose to not care when the other man forced him into his bed at night, deciding that Manius would be his body slave. Manius was a little too unhappy in this life though, and it wasn’t just the nights that were bad. Seeing the youngest boy, who was barely a man yet, thrive and live so well, reminded Manius of his own dead son. In the end, he begged the father of the family if he couldn’t be sold to someone else. The eldest son was not pleased with this, and chose to say goodbye to Manius in his own special way. Manius has some scars across his back and neck because of this. But he was sold a year after he came to the family. In 59 AD, he was passed on to a new master and mistress, to be bodyguard to the mistress.

TIMELINE:
36 AD – Manius was born
55 AD – Manius married Dianna Marcia
56 AD – Manius became father to Manius Gallus Minor
58 AD – Manius’ wife and son were killed and Manius sold himself to slavery as a teacher in swordfighting and body slave to another in the house
59 AD – Manius was passed on to a new master and mistress, to work as a bodyguard for the mistress

So here he was, fled back to his uncle’s home – forced to either live here, off the charity of a man he now despised, or return to Alexandria to the father who should most rightfully be dead. His dark eyes dropped once more to the page before him and he felt the tears that seemed to threaten constantly. As the letters blurred, he tossed the book away in vexation. It flew across the room and landed with a thud near the door, just as it opened quietly. But Arruns did not see who had come to disturb his misery, for his hands were over his face, as he wept in frustration and a complete exhaustion of spirit.]]>

How beguiling is thy corruption

Be a cavalier in the decadent Baroque court of Merry King Charles II of England in 1676. At Court just beneath the surface raw ambition works a rare frenzy in the ongoing struggle for royal favour, wealth and success. Virtue has given way to libertine licentiousness. Religious intolerance is the rule, while arts and science are shaped for centuries to come. Will the new German Queen be able to restore propriety in a society that has lost its morals? Will the freedom loving Protestant Parliament triumph over the absolute King Charles Rex? Or will the secret Jesuit Order convince the King to convert?

You crave an eclectic, multifaceted society. Quality over quantity. Community over resources. Someone to talk to rather than talking over everyone else. A safe and friendly environment to grow and learn in. We provides a contemporary, growing community of people who value you for who you are, not what game you run or the people you know. We give you a home to generate new friendships and build upon current ones. A casual discussion forum where you can kick up your feet and talk about your day. Your destination for procrastination.

Real people. Real conversations.
