Character Information
Character name: Lovino Vargas
Nation: (South) Italy
Age: 22
Gender:Male
Appearance
Height: 5'7
Hair/eyes: Brown/Amber
Notable Features:
Well, there is that one odd curl which doesn't seem to want to stay down with the rest of his hair,but its best if you ignore it as touching it is equivalent to signing a death warrant.
Personality:
Lovino is a rather sever, pessimistic person. Not overly social, he comes off as mean-even to people who know him well (though he is somewhat nicer to females than to males).While he does have people he cares about, he is not a very affectionate person-insults are his preferred form of showing he cares. Most of his expressions range between between a scowl and glare.
He acts very tough when in actuality he is weak and something of a coward-facts which irritates him immensely. Easily embarrassed and somewhat clumsy, he acts rude in an attempt to cover this up. He tends to be somewhat lazy, going out of his way to avoid work and taking naps compulsively at the same time every day.
Mythology
Well, the Romans had a lot of mythology, mainly because they absorbed a bunch of gods from other cultures. Much of it is almost completely parallel to Greek mythology.
Of the dozens upon dozens of gods, the main ones would be:
Jupiter-King of the gods
Juno- Jupiter's sister/wife and mother of several other gods
Neptune- Brother of Jupiter- God of the sea
Minerva-goddess of wisdom and most art forms
Mars· Son of Juno and Jupiter, god of war
Venus· Goddess of Love
Apollo· God of light and the sun, twin of Diana
Diana-Goddess of the hunt and the moon, twin of Apollo
Mercury· Son of Jupiter and the god of trade
Fortuna- Daughter of Zeus and goddess of luck
Vesta- Sister of Jupiter-Goddess of the hearth
Ceres-sister of Jupiter Goddess of harvest
Pluto-Brother of Jupiter and god of the underworld
-Before these gods came to power the universe was controlled by the titan Saturn and his sister-wife Ops. It was predicted that saturns down fall would come by means of one of his children and so, every time Ops had a child he swallowed it. The sixth time this happened, his wife switched the baby (Jupiter) with a stone, which he swallowed instead. He was raised in secret and as an adult he went to work as his fathers servant, eventually feeding him poison which caused him to vomit up his five siblings. He and his brothers and sisters eventually defeated their father.
-The city of Rome was said to have been founded by the demi-gods Remus and Romulus-grandsons of the god Jupiter by his son Mars and a human princess. The two's uncle ordered a servant to kill them, but the servant instead set them adrift in a river. Eventually they were found and raised by a wolf. The two eventually return to humanity, gain followers and decide to build a city. Unfortunately they cannot agree on a location, a fight ensues and Remus is killed. Romulus goes on to found Rome and create a festival to appease his siblings ghost.
-Seasons were explained by the grief of the goddess Ceres, whose daughter-prosperine -was tricked into being Pluto's queen by being convinced into eating some of the food of the underworld. She refused to allow plants to grow and wandered the earth creating deserts and wastelands until Jupiter decreed that her child would only have to remain in the underworld for six months out of the year.
Roman mythology also contained more creatures than you could shake a stick at, including Satyrs (creatures that were half man half goat), Nymphs, Dragons, Hippocampus (creatures that were part fish part horse), Sirens, Cerberus (the three headed dog which gaurded the underworld) and a bunch of other things that I don't feel like naming.
Sample Post
((Well-its really more of a writing sample drabble-I can write posts this long, but usually I won't...))
The room was blissfully quiet when he woke up. There were no Feliciano's “ve-ing” and running about,Spaniards invading his personal space, men in skirts or any other of the number of idiots he was forced to put up with the past few days. God he hated world meetings...
It had to be too good to be true-his eardrums had probably burst from the ridiculous amount of noise they'd been exposed to the day before. He opened an eye and surveyed the room warily (the aforementioned idiots could be sneaky bastards when they wanted to) only to have his suspicions disproved. The only other inhabitants of the room were a messily made bed, two suit cases and a note on top of the TV.
He glared at it for a moment-did it really have to be so far away?-before dragging himself out of bed and snatching it down. The small piece of paper was covered in completely unreadable nonsense-damn brother of his and his illegible handwriting, what good were those painting skills if the moron couldn't master the freaking alphabet?
Not like he really needed the note anyway, no his sibling was undoubtedly off somewhere with the Japanese weirdo or the potato bastard getting himself molested. As long as they returned him in one piece...
Seeing as he was up anyway he made his way over to the hotel rooms small fridge and took out one of the many containers of pasta inside (like hell was he going to go eat some from an American restaurant) and settled back on the bed-clicking the TV on as he did so.
The Italian man and the electronic sat in relative silence for a while-until Lovino deigned to actually pay attention to what he was watching. The fuck-was that a talking sponge? In spite of himself he was drawn in.
He really felt for this squid. Living next to two half-wits, constantly being bothered when he obviously wanted to be left alone, being forced to work for a crappy boss. He could definitely relate. The cartoon was actually funny in a strange, moronic sort of way. Against his will he found his lips twitching upwards, snickering quietly (not that he'd ever admit that he thought something one of Alfreds people made was funny of course).
The doorknob jiggled and he changed the channel quickly, face returning to its characteristic scowl as he glared at it. “You could knock you know damn it!”
Other Important Notes
Umm, none I suppoe
