Personality: Max is generally frustrated by other people, deeming them under him for “not fighting the flow.” He sees Roman society as degrading, throwing people into a machine to make them “toy soldiers for the Senate to play with.” If given the chance, “[Max] would storm right into the Senate, speak my piece and blow everyone away. If I were praetor, the whole Bay would be our’s.” Should anyone dispute his enlightened claims, Max will simply “speak truth to those Praetor shills.”

History (four sentences or more):
- Felicity Bachman: Set to be the heiress of a Swiss/German agribusiness conglomerate, Lupa picked her out at age 14 and sent her to the legion at 15. She was placed in the second cohort and was promoted to Optio in her last year. In retirement, Felicity opened up microbrewery on Cincinnatus Lane. Mars stopped by in disguise one night and was impressed by Felicity’s ability to drink without getting buzzed, operate a bustling bar solo and fight off aggressive patrons effortlessly. The one night stand was inevitable, and a handful of return visits have occurred over the years.

- Maxwell Bachman: The first Bachman born in New Rome, the pressure to perform was on. Before being called by Lupa at 12, Max helped out in the brewery, making him think he was mature beyond his years. His time at the Wolf House was long and hard, taking two years due to a lack of coordination and a shocking lack of natural combat skills. Upon returning to camp, his mother’s standing barely saved him from Fifth Cohort shame. His poor fighting skills have slightly improved, but he has become unimpressed by the Legion.

Cohort: Fourth
Time in the legion: Two years, four with Wolf House

Add limits to the powers. So just mention how many posts the power works for or whatever and then put how many posts it takes to cool down.

Edited.
