⤻ siraenas &. evie.

𝐀 𝐍𝐎𝐓 - 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐒 from her , brow arching as she turned towards the sitting legionnaire. a theory ? what did whatever nonsense she come up with matter ? she bit her lip , trying her hardest to answer without it coming out as biting. “ i think to theorize is ridiculous. ” evie spoke honestly , frown beginning to form. " it’s none of my business. maybe someone who knew more about her would wonder more. what do YOU think ? "

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 , curious at the girl’s statement. “ ridiculous ? i think it’s helpful , since jane’s not in the mood for talking right now. ” she rolls her eyes , bringing her bottom lip between her teeth. “ and i think it is a hundred percent your business , it’s all of our business. i think the gods are mad , only bacchus can induce this madness , yeah ? ”

⤻ scoutgarcia &. scout.

Rumours, naturally, started swirling around the camp mere moments after Jane was found by the border – no less than five of them being started by Scout herself. Not that she thought anything she’d been saying was even remotely true, ( that Jane is a zombie back from the dead being the least believable lie she’d spouted ), it was just fun to get a reaction out of people when she whispered the falsities in their ears. They stopped and listened to what she had to say. She stopped when she heard her fellow centurion speak up, having not even noticed the other girl on her way back to camp – “Don’t be ridiculous,” She shook her head, dropping down onto the ground beside Roma, “She’s clearly a cyborg sent from the future to destroy us all.”

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 , 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇 puffed out of roma and she managed an eye roll at her fellow centurion. the other demigod always knew exactly what to say to push every button roma had ( and even some she didn’t knew she had ) and maybe roma regretted couping her previous centurion. “ cyborg ? from the future ? ” she entertained scout , a polite smile across her lips. “ do you think vulcan is trying to tell us something , scout ? ” she joked , scoffing silently at the absurdity. “ i think i heard some legionnaire talking about zombies though , so – zombies or cyborg , what’s your pick ? ”

⤻ aegltcs &. dorian.

@phalanxis flipped you the bird !

blond, sullen boy stares at the leather wrapped around his wrist and an urge to bite through the material kicks him from behind. translation : he’s self-conscious – it’s been two days since he saw daylight properly, much less BE SEEN by anyone aside from his own reflection. it takes him a second before his teeth tug relentlessly at the straps, eyes lifting to catch a gesture that throws him off. is that … ROMA … flipping him off? he squints, incredulous ( and he ignores that all-too-common feeling that stabs at him when she’s around ), before he throws her a middle finger right back. he mouths, “FUCK YOU TOO, tannery.”

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐘 , riling up the blond boy. she hasn’t picked on him yet , but the gears turning in her sly mind tell her it shouldn’t be too hard. a casual smirk crosses her pink lips as she takes a step closer to him , calling the anger that’s seeped so deep in her bones that it’s forever a part of her. perhaps it’s time to finally have some fun. “ not even if my life depended on it, ” she drawls , flipping her sandy hair over a poised shoulder. “ where have you been , aldridge ? i’ve been dying to rile someone up. ” her lower lip sticks out , a pout appearing on her now sullen face before her eyes roll and her grin reappears.

⤻ ofghsts &. theodora.

𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐌 𝐋𝐈𝐏 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐇 , left brow quirking up as the auburn haired female thought up of a theory to justify the return of the praetor . “ someone brought her back from the dead . easy . filled her lungs with the breath of a new life . . . she’s a zombie walking amongst us , ” head turns to face the other , a small yet mischievous glint in dark brown eyes , “ but the guard thing –––– now that sounds more fitting . ”

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐏 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐋𝐒 , mentions of being brought back from the dead entertaining the daughter of strife. “ back from the dead ? ” she drawls , eyes scanning the horizon once more before turning to theodora. “ i’m sure pluto won’t be too happy about that. ” thunder rumbles in the distance at the mention of the god , but roma knows it’s just a show. names are sacred , but they don’t hold as much power as the elders want her to believe.

𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 of a praetor roma thought was dead , the chaos ringing in throughout camp was enough to make even her mother stop in her tracks. resting on the ground by the border where jane had appeared , hands dug into the gravely dirt , she sat with her head tilted to the side. she leaned back , eyeing the horizon and wondering where jane had came from. “ what’s your theory ? ” she asked a passing legionnaire , sitting up from her leaned back position. “ do you believe that she appeared out of thin air ? ” she smirked , mischievously. “ or do you think some guards just weren’t paying attention and let her slip in ? ”

HEY THERE BOIS – it’s ya demon , cc & her lesser demon child , roma !

ESTER EXPÓSITO , 20 , CISFEMALE , SHE/HER | TANNERY , ROMA bears the mark of discordia on their forearm & have 6 lines beneath it. cohort 2 pledged for them 5 years ago & the legion has profited from their + guileful & + keen nature. besides their fatal flaw of honor before reason, the auguries also warn of their - pompous & - restive side. the brassbround needs all the luck in this time of war , we hope the gods are with them.

the background :

born to a father that didn’t want her , roma tannery was destined for the worst at the beginning. having a police officer as a father might’ve been cool for other kids , but roma knew that her father was nothing but an angry drunk who got away with everything because of his experience & his status. she ran away from home when she was ten years old , running from him after they had an explosive fight over something she can’t even remember anymore.

she lived on the streets for five years , scrounging for scraps & conning people to make ends meet. she was extremely skilled at making things work out her way & found her calling in street fights. she wasn’t the one fighting , no , but she was the one who placed the best bets. people didn’t know how she did it , but she always bet correctly & she always won. she knew because she brought strife to whoever she wanted to win , she made them so angry they did anything to win – she didn’t know how since all she was really doing was riling them up , but she wouldn’t be questioning it if it helped her survive.

at fifteen , roma ran into a trio of demigods who almost immediately knew what she was. at first she was apprehensive , they were crazy , you know ? i mean her ? a demigod ? but the more they kept appearing & trying to help her , the more she believed them. it explained so much in her life , but it only made her so much more bitter than she already was. because at the end of the day – if the gods are real , why did her mom leave her ? why was she left alone with a dad that didn’t want her ? why did she have to hustle through puberty on the streets , on her own ? it didn’t make sense & it wasn’t fair.

she was dropped off to lupa by the demigods & spent only a month & a half with her. lupa helped her reign in her powers , teaching her that she had the ability to start wars with her words & rage if she wanted – & that she should never do it. the last time something like that had happened was with her mother & the trojan war. she arrived to camp jupiter with no letters of recommendation , but since she’d known a couple demigods , they pledged for her into the second cohort.

she earned her first line by thwarting a couple monsters while she was on watch. she was guarding one of the many entrances to the valley with another legionnaire when they were pretty much ambushed & her partner got badly injured. with some quick thinking & usage of her abilities ( like ... her talking ... ) , she turned the monsters on each other & was able to drag her legionnaire to safety. after that , she went on her first ( & only ) quest to attempt to find one of vulcan’s lost forges , in hopes of gaining his blessing for the upcoming war.

she succeeded , returning to camp & getting another line on her arm which did nothing but boost her ego. she remained at camp , thriving & living her gosh darn life. when she finally got her fifth line of service ( like ... five months ago ) she orchestrated a coup in order to gain the centurion title , using her abilities against the centurion who had been in charge.

she’s not very flashy , though , despite what people think. she takes after discordia a lot , operating behind the scenes & causing discord wherever she goes because... she’s the worst. she’s sort of indifferent about the gods at this moment , but she’s not the type to fall at their feet because – she knows they’re shitty , but tbh what can she do about it.

the personality :

+ guileful & keen – years on the streets made roma street smart. she’s intelligent , but not in the expectant way of books & knowledge of formulas. she’s very skilled at picking up on hidden meanings , glances & interactions , having learned from experience how to read people in order to get what she wanted / needed.

- pompous & restive – she’s ?? sorta a bitch , ngl. she thinks a lot of herself ( what , with overthrowing her old centurion smh ) & is insanely difficult to control. the older she gets , the more she becomes like her mother ( which is always a danger with demigods ) & she’s very proud of her heritage.

honor before reason – her five years in the legion have all but instilled that she needs to have honor. she has to make her mother proud ( even though she’s not her favorite person ) & the legion proud no matter what happens , no matter what she does & she’ll probably kill herself trying to do that.

the wanted connections :

i’ll pay you to plot with me. i’d still love an older brother if anyone’s thinking of picking up any muses :eyes: but i’d love the following:

a best friend / ride or die , a partner in crime , an enemy / rival , sparmates , someone she looks up to , someone she looks down on , slow burn / opposites attract , frenemies , friends from her old life ? literally , anything. if nothing strikes here for you , i’m a hoe for brainstorming so – hmu here or on discord !

#spqrintro #i have no idea if this made sense i wrote it at 3 am and am too lazy to fix it up
