Legend of Altera
Leontius Hostilius-Herennius
- The Smol Bard of Astrakhan -

This beautiful drawing brought to you by Samiwashere :D

Basic Information

Nickname(s)
Leo (Everyone); Pomegranate (Family); Pom (Friends)

Gender
Male

Age
20
(Birthday in late July)

Ethnicity
Asrakosian

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Religion
Leo doesn't follow the Gods all too closely, as he sees them more as mere tales than literal, all knowing beings. Occasionally, however, when he needs to pull himself out of something ugly, he'll find himself praying to Ignis or Sallana.

Moral Alignment
Lawful Good. Leontius is a strong believer in law and balance. He wishes for all to be well and equal, and therefore tries his hardest to be fair to everyone.

Personality
Leontius is, in every definition of the phrase, an immature child. Although Leo cares a great deal for others, he finds much amusement in their misfortune. He will never hold in his laughter and openly boasts about his accomplishments. Leo occasionally plays what he qualifies to be harmless pranks, which only adds to his childish reputation. He does, however, know where to draw the line, and cares greatly for all people’s safety and well being.

The man believes in a strong law and moral, therefor he is usually one to obey rules, especially those put forth by his brother, Theodosius, whom he greatly admires.

Unlike much of his family, Leontius doesn't understand a thing having to do with the military. He finds comfort in arts such as poetry and music, and Leo is often found playing on his ukulele outside his home in Astrakhan.

Leontius is most definitely a hopeless romantic; the moment he meets a single woman, he begins to wonder whether or not they'd work as a couple. When in a relationship, Leo is very much dependent and loving. The bard is a good companion (so long as you don't cheat on him). He bases most of his poetry around lost or unrequited love, along with the depression he faced while in Iskron.

Physical Description

Height

Weight
135 lb. (61 kg.)

Eye Color
Sea Green/Light Emerald

Hair
Light, reddish-brown; often tied in a bun, but occasionally flows down to his shoulders.

Body Description
Leontius prides himself mostly on his facial looks, not so much with every other part of his body. He is tall and slender in the legs, though his arms and torso do have some muscle due to the exercises he’ll do with his cousins.

Facial Description
With high, slightly hollowed cheekbones, a sharp nose, and bright teeth, Leontius prides himself on his decently good looks. He has a fair complexion and bright, captivating eyes, which only adds to the dapperness of his exterior. Recently, he's been allowing a short-length, curly beard to grow in.

Distinguishing Features
A small, raindrop-shaped birthmark on his left cheek.

Familial Ties
"House Herenii"

Close Family
Mother-Julia Herennia, Father-Sextus Herennius, Brothers-Theodosius and Antonides Hostilius, Sister-Vibiana Herennia (NOT FINISHED)



Stories
  • When Leo wasn't much older than nine years old, he couldn't stop eating pomegranates. The sweet fruited stained his hands and clothes and its taste followed him everywhere. He announced to everyone in the family, including his friends and servants, that he would eat nothing but pomegranates for the entire week (which, of course, is years for a boy his age). He never followed through on this claim, but his father found his affinity with the fruit so humorous, he called Leo "Pomegranate" to adulthood. The nickname faded and came back multiple times, but whenever someone calls out that word, he'll turn his head to attention.
  • Leontius learned to play the lyre in school at a very young age. This then sparked a fascination with all sorts of stringed instruments; he learned to play the harp, the guitar, the violin, and, his current favorite, the ukulele. When he was eleven years old, Leo desperately wanted to go out with his elder brother, Theo, and Theo's friends. Their mother made him stay at home, however, and Theodosius was free to leave. To the soft tune of his harp, Leontius wrote his first song, titled, "Julia Herennia is a Bitch." Its (clearly) never been performed, he's quite embarrassed of it, and he remembers little of the lyrics. Leontius loves his mother dearly, but sometimes that tune will get stuck in his head, to this day.

Davis the Bunny: "You. Are. Everything. My heart and soul, my right arm and left leg. To lose you would be to lose my mind, dearest rabbit. Now if only I can get Violet to give me full custody of you . . ."
