He who controls Rome - A Roman Senate Game (Sign-up, Rules & OOC Thread)

[Kingpoleon]

Name: Marcus Junius Bubulcas Decimus

YoB: 308 B. C.

PoB: Rome, Italia

Family: Junia

Backstory: His uncle, Gaius Junius Bubulcas Brutus, the dictator during Marcus’s youth, recently passed away. His other uncle, Cornelius Junius Decimus, is currently the Pontifex Maximus of Rome. His younger brother is Flamen Dialis, currently leading a growing group of Pontiffs that exercise a large degree of religious authority. While the religious influence of Marcus Decimus is, without question, nearly unequaled, the support Marcus Decimus has triggered from a growing class of plebeians and patricians known as the Marcans has caused some Romans pause. Marcus Decimus is one of the largest patrons in Rome, as his father’s death has caused a great deal of wealth and men to fall into his hands. As Magister Equitum to the dictator Gnaeus Maximus, Marcus Decimus is attempting to restore the Celeres, to serve as cavalry guards throughout Rome.

Proposal: Marcus Decimus proposes that the new Celeres be composed of 300 Celeres. There would be thirty in each of the Seven Hills of Rome - 210 Celeres. Eighty more would guard the gates of the city - five to each gate. Finally, ten would be charged with being messengers: each of the Seven Hills would have a messenger, and for every six gates, there would be one joint messenger.

Motions : (here, each motion your character attempts goes. A marking like this one (✓) will be used is it passed while a marking like this one (x) will mean the motion failed)

Military and Political Experience:
- Senator
- Magister Equitum
- Quaestor

Gravitas: 80 - Not quite as powerful as his father was, Marcus Decimus has just inherited a large estate and support system. His side of the Junia family seems prepared to take leadership, as they have a large supply of grain, only matched by one or two other men in all of Rome.
