The Marauders (2018)

Antonius Diaz

Name
Antonius Philo Diaz

AKA
Tony - not a very cool nickname, but a nickname nonetheless and a very common one too

Age
Thirty-six

Race
Human

Appearance

Appearance

Tony isn't very intimidating at all, and his appearance gives that away. Once clean cut and well-shaved when he worked on the Galactic Committee, he has become more lax with his appearance. He stands at about five feet, nine inches and weighs an average amount. He bears little musculature - only enough to give him a lightly toned appearance. His hair is a curly mess with some gray peppered into otherwise dark hair. Antonius's scruff verges on a full beard most days, but he keeps it relatively well-trimmed, especially when making an appearance in a professional setting.

Faction
Marauder, Former Committee Member

Role in Team
As the linguist, not only is Tony well versed in all known languages and cultures, he is also a trained diplomat and negotiator. His charisma makes him an asset when the team makes contact with other species as well as on-board. Tony isn't a very good mediator as his ego tends to get in the way, but he's quite good at working through conflicts in a fair manner.

Biography
Antonius Diaz was raised to be one of the most powerful men in the galaxy. His father was an ambassador in Tony's formative years, and his mother ensured that the boy received the best education he could from the variety of planets they lived on. As such, he picked up on countless alien languages as well as those of Earth when his mother, formerly a professor on Earth, had a chance to teach him. From early on, his father groomed him to follow in his footsteps. By the time Tony was 12, his father brought him to meetings with politicians from all races.

Soon after, Antonius's father moved them all to the Spire where he had gotten a job in the Galactic Committee. Tony excelled in school, most notably in his language courses. He continued shadowing his father, which paid off well in the long run by securing him internships and, later, a very notable scholarship to continue his education.

Out of school, he quickly found his footing in the politics of the Spire. He worked his way into the Committee at a surprisingly young age, riding the coattails of his father but still managing to forge his own persona. His charm and intellect took him far, and he was pegged for a Council position at an early age. It was at the height of his career that he met Mira L'Haria, a middle aged Satasi. Whether she chose him because he impressed her or because she believed he was the most capable of providing for a child, the two married and soon had a child.

For a time, Tony lived a very successful and promising life. But politics are dirty, and even as something of a protegee, he was not immune to easy fixes and bargains. When it came time for him to campaign for a Council seat, his campaign manager suggested they "get rid of" his most promising opponent. An assassin was hired, and she did her job well, paving the way for Antonius. But she wasn't good enough, and it took just a few weeks until the murder was traced back to Tony and he was arrested.

The court case famously graced news outlets across the Spire and likely on other planets. He was left with a bargain by the Committee. Join the Marauders, or rot in a cell for the rest of his days. He chose the former, figuring it was the easiest way to return to grace and perhaps have another chance at glory. And so he packed his things and joined the crew of the Monroe.

Personality
Antonius ought to feel as disgraced as he is, but he hides the failure of his career behind an egotistical and arrogant cover. Deep down, he blames himself for getting caught, but he would never let that show. "Should have been more careful" is a common refrain of his when discussing the incident that landed him on the ship, followed by a quick laugh.

He's naturally charismatic and shockingly eloquent when he must be for work. Tony is notoriously sarcastic and caustic. He has very few - if any - morals. Instead, he looks out mostly for himself. He has a very flippant attitude towards authority because he thinks so highly of his accomplishments and intelligence. It can be blinding, and he has been known to get in quite a few arguments with his superiors. With a too-cool-for-school attitude, he's not really the best teammate, and he can't lead much more than a debate or committee meeting unless he feels compelled to.

But Tony is a diplomat, and he knows how to conduct himself professionally. While he still comes off as abrasive if provoked, he is quite the gentleman and knows how to lead a conversation well. He's a people-person, despite being a bit of an ass, and he thrives off of being around others even if they can't really stand him as a person. Antonius is quite capable of love, but he doesn't show it easily. His charm easily melds into mild flirting without him even realizing it. He is known to overstep boundaries even though he has been put in his place quite a few times.

Weapon
Tony carries a standard-issue pistol which he keeps in a holster at his side. It is quite visible purposefully so that he comes off to unknown species as more trustworthy. On the ship, he often forgets to carry it, leaving him quite vulnerable.

Family/Relationship
Tony is single after his marriage fell into disrepair shortly after his arrest. He still talks to his daughter, Neema (8), often, but his ex-wife has little to say to him after his failure of a political career. His father and mother still live on the Spire, and he speaks with them occasionally as well. In recent months, his mother's health has slowly begun to deteriorate.

Other
He used to smoke like a chimney, but it's hard to do that in the middle of space in such tight quarters. He'll often sneak to the cargo hold or the hangar for a quick break while working. Tony also speaks with a slight accent that is difficult to place. His father's accent is mostly Queen's English while his mother speaks with something reminiscent of a Boston accent. That influence, coupled with his study of language, has left him with something bordering on English while sounding just slightly wrong for a human. Intriguing and still a bit charming, but odd.

The Marauders (2018)

Here he is! He's more of a white-collar criminal, but still a criminal. Hopefully, he'll add an interesting dynamic to the ship!

The Marauders (2018)

Hey there - just stumbled upon this roleplay over in interest check. I'm interested in taking on the linguist! I can have a character sheet up later today.

Two new writers looking for something fun

Howdy there I'm hopping on this wagon because I'm also trying to get back into writing, and I would definitely be down for a post-apocalypse zombie roleplay! I'm also kind of generally up for whatever tbh - I just need to start writing again a bit more before I start GMing again.

By the gods... (Norse Mythology in modern times rp)

Sounds cool! I'll take Loki if Darshadow isn't, but I'm not here to step on toes, so I'd be down for taking on Tyr!

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Hello! I'm working on a post for Maddox - I just got home from a vacation with my family, so I'm sorry I didn't get it done sooner.

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

Still here! Actually started working on a post tonight.

(High Casual) An Age Old Feud II

I'll probably post for Maddox sometime this weekend as I continue to procrastinate!

King Alister Hardin

Location - Kingdom of Abhainn
Interacting With - Queen Mira {@MissCapnCrunch}; Lord Aedan Merryn {@Pundii}

How he hated this small talk. On the surface, it seemed harmless and dreadfully boring, but Alister couldn't help but feel on edge throughout the small, informal reception that seemed to occur once they had entered the palace. For a while, he was able to feel at least slightly at ease with Mira by his side, but they were slowly separated as she charmed her way into the circle of noble women. Whatever she spoke of was met with giggles and gasps from the assembled women.

Alister, on the other hand, was being grilled on national policy by these Abhainnians as well as on plans for the two nations once they had been joined by marriage. He could feel himself growing more irate as they questioned him, for they worded their questions as though Maddox would inherit both kingdoms, as though Julianna suddenly had a more valid claim to the throne than Jaxon himself.

He was grateful for a chance to escape the conversations and retire to his chambers to prepare himself for the feast. Al lurked about his chambers for most of the day after that, turning to the lute he had brought with him for something to do to ease the crippling boredom. As the sun finally set, his servants entered the chambers and laid out his outfit for him. Everything seemed to be a blur then as he dressed and joined the feast.

A voice behind him in the ballroom caused him to jump, and he whipped around to face Mira and her wily smirk. It took him a moment before he actually seemed to process her jest - the day's festivities had drained him already.

"I suppose we will have to make sure she does not find us then, my lady," he returned, playing along with the scenario as he wrapped his arms around her. She could tell he was drained, and she pressed a kiss into his hand with a gentle sort of passion, one that made him smile briefly back at her. "The fireworks are quite stunning - though not as stunning as you are I am certain." And now he gave a soft laugh, deep and sonorous, easily lost in the murmur around them. "It definitely wasn't as much of an affair as this is. Though I recall at least two cows being shot."

They made their way to the tables then where there were wines and some food for the nobles and royals to pick at. It was quit obvious that the feast itself was not to start until Maddox had arrived, but Alister hadn't a clue when that would be. For some time, he sat with Mira and drank the wine before them nervously. It was well made, and so Alister had consumed a bit too much by the time he became self aware of how much he had.

Head swimming, he patted his hand on Mira's hand and stood up from his chair. "I'll be back...I'm just going for some fresh air." It made him uneasy to have gotten this far into drinking. It had been years since he had gotten as drunk as he was now at something so public. And so he made his way out on to the balcony. The night air rushed to meet him, noticeable cooler than the air within the ballroom. For a moment, he simply let it wash over him, but then he noticed Aedan on the balcony as well, and he moved slightly towards the man - a comforting sight in this foreign land.

"Enjoying yourself?" he asked, looking over at the younger man.
