Name: Romulus Gender: Male Age: Mid-thirties Personality: Romulus' mother was the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia; his father is unknown. Two possible candidates in mythology for the position are the Roman god of war, Mars, and the Greek hero Hercules.
Yeah, this says quite a bit about Romulus as a person.
Rome's founder very much fits the profile of an "alpha male"; fitting, perhaps, given the fact that he and his brother were suckled by a she-wolf. He is confident, self-assured, and proud- some would say to the point of arrogance. When his twin brother Remus and he quarreled over which hill to build their new city on, Remus ended up dead; it's unknown whether Romulus killed him or the death was an accident, but it set a precedent that followed the warrior prince for the rest of his life. What Romulus wanted, Romulus got; those who stood in his way were obstacles to be destroyed.
Despite his drive to win at any cost, Romulus holds himself to a high code of honor. He despises liars, cheats, backstabbers and schemers, believing whole-heartedly in fair play and victory through honest strength. At first glance this code seems to be at conflict with Romulus' lust for victory, but as Romulus himself will happily state, if you don't achieve victory fair and square how are you supposed to lord it over your defeated enemies? And if you can't lord your victories over your defeated enemies, what's the point of even being alive? After defeating their grand-uncle Amulius, who had usurped the throne from their grandfather, Romulus and Remus were offered the throne of Alba Longa, but rejected it in favor of building an empire on their own. Part of this was their belief that a man should earn glory through his deeds, not his inheritence, but part of it was also just plain ol' arrogance. ("We'll go start our own empire! With blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the empire.")
He is fiercely competitive, but not a sore loser; second only to his love of winning is Romulus' love of a worthy opponent. As far as he's concerned, the Holy Grail war is just like any other; a glorious contest of wills between warriors, and one Romulus has no intention of losing.
Class: Rider Fighting Style: Hits fast and hard, almost entirely oriented around up-close melee attacks. If you're not willing to get your hands dirty, what's the fun in fighting? He's proficient with sword and spear, combining them with a shield that sees use as an offensive weapon more often than not. He will almost certainly "claim" (read: steal) a horse at some point, displaying a high proficiency for mounted combat. Attitude towards War: See above. In it to win it, baby.
