We'll let it slide. For the sake of the common man, and the greater good of science. We can't expect everyone to be clued up. The real test comes with the writing, and not necessarily the quality either.

Appreciated, in all honesty my history on the Roman empire mainly entitles the gladiators and the arena of Rome more then how they name their legions. And don't worry with my writing you get quality and once I get my foot through the door and understand this better quantity will go with it

I bet you said that with a huge throbbing erection, didn't you?Come on, fess up.

No...I'm going to pretend that you didn't say that.

My bad, I was just joking and didn't mean to cause offence. I'll remember to be a little more sensible in future.

[So Boerd]

Might as well proceed with the Senate's decision.

Yup, that's the plan. I'll be home from work soon, and once I've had my dinner I'll dive into it and get things moving.

[LancerDancer]

There we go. Now everyone has more men.

Things are about to get really violent.

Boerd, if you need help issuing the orders, then let me know. Alternatively, if you do not feel comfortable giving them, then I can haul Scipio back to Rome.

[Jangel13]

So how can I jump in?

I believe I offered you a chance to join in the senate debate, but that's over for now.

Either So Boerd, or myself, depending on his/her willingness, will dish out orders to all Legates.

Once you have an order, you go and carry it out. If you're unsure of what to do, re-read the OOC post, and glance over the "story so far" to get a jist of it.

For the time being, as your legate was absent at the assembly, you will remain with one legion.

Any questions or problems, let me know.

[Jangel13]

Okay I'll remain with my legion for now so how about as a starter I just at that I was in a barracks with my men waiting on orders?

If you have itchy fingers, I see no problem with a bit of intermission fluff. Knock yourself out :)

[So Boerd]

Head count! Say you're here so I can give you your orders!

[Dedonus]

Adsum.

[PhoenixWhite]

Here!

[Jangel13]

Sir!

[Byrd Man]

Present.

[Heyitsjiwon]

Still around.

[LancerDancer]

Legatus Origins

Toxilus is a seasoned warrior, formerly commanding the Alae in Sicily. A son of a prominent Etruscan family, based in the north, he was thrust into Rome’s service early in life. With large quantities of wealth at his disposal, and often, the blessing of his peers, it was he who tended to Valathri’s mustering in times of war.

Over the last decade, Toxilus has fought in thirty battles for Rome’s glory. Few of them can be considered large or significant battles, but he counts them all, nonetheless.

Owing to his tribal routes, Toxilus has a less pragmatic battle doctrine than his newly found Roman brothers. Whilst Rome would have his swiftly converted Alae follow the format of other legions, he has fought hard to keep the Etruscan way in focus.

Cavalry wins the day, as far as he’s concerned. Alexander’s legacy is a source of almost divine inspiration for him, and he is intimately familiar with the man’s battle tactics.

New to the Roman gene pool, it is unclear how well this loyal Etruscan will serve in this brave new world.

[LancerDancer]

As for everyones' extra legions, I guess posting them here (they do not need a Legatus section) will serve. I'll then add them to the legion roster, although for ease of mission giving, I will probably break the numerical order of things into owner groups. That'll make it easier for the guy giving out the orders, I think.

Also, even though I'm the GM, I'm not above scrutiny. If no one likes my legion (it's a bit exotic, given the light horse ratio), then I'll change for a more traditional set up.

[PhoenixWhite]

Would it be acceptable for me to just add its composition beneath that of the original legion for organization's sake?

That'll be fine.

That goes for everyone else, if that's how they want to do it.
