ROME
Who is your favorite Rome character and why?: Atia of the Julii, Octavian, and Posca. The first two because they were both cunning as hell and you wouldn't want to mess with either of them, and Posca because of his dry wit and loyalty.
Who do you relate to the most?: Pullo. He embodies the phrase "work hard, party hard", and I adore that about him. Plus, he's a completely irreverent bastard when it comes to the gods. :)
Who is your least favorite Rome character and why?: Octavia. She's a warm, breathing lump that just sits there.
Do you have a favorite quote from the series? If so, what is it?: "I know who you are. I can see you. You're swearing now that, someday, you'll destroy me. Remember that far better women than you have sworn to do the same. Go look for them now." -Atia
QUESTIONS
How do you accomplish your goals?: I make a plan and I do it.
Rome is slipping farther away from its republican days and into a dictatorship. Where do you see yourself amid the chaos? Where do your allegiances lie?: I'd have to say my allegiances would lie with the dictatorship, as that would seem to be the winning side at this point. Plus, a republic is only as good as its leaders, and the Senate wasn't exactly holding up the virtues Rome was founded on, so...
Brutus and Cassius: tyrant killers or filthy murderers?: Both. On the one hand, they murdered the man who was going to bring Rome back to the golden age in cold blood. But on the other, they were both trying to bring back a dying ideal.
A member of another powerful and influential family has insulted one of your own. What do you do about it?: If the insult was a particularly grave one, I'd confront the person who did the insulting. If the insult was leaning towards the petty side, I'd let them sort out their own problems.
Anything else you think we should know?: Thanks for voting! :)
