Likes: Fine food, fine wine, beautiful men and women, loyalty in his subjects, warm weather, and sex. Though it should be noted he is exceptionally pleased with happenings running smoothly.
Dislikes: The winter, unnecessary uprisings (he hasn't had those in a while), disobedience, and clingy women.
Job Skills: [eg. carpentry, navigation training, mechanic skills.] Rome is a skilled politician first and foremost with a background in foreign languages and diplomacy. He also joined the military as was required in his mid-teen years, and due to this fact he is proficient in weapons and navigational skills.

Personality and short background: Marcus is the 3rd Hetalian Emperor and therefore was born into riches so to speak. He grew up being schooled in literature, arts, languages, and other studies that most upper class young men were enrolled in. Though this is to say he sewed his oats quite often when he was young. This resulted in kids and then later on grandkids as well. Most of his reign he spent working the art of diplomacy and opening up trade. This then gave him quite the repertoire amongst other Nations and made him rather liked for his fairness. Things have been peaceful so he has not needed to exercise any of his might.

He once was married to a lovely noblewoman from Britannia named Arianna. They were married young though he had fallen for her before he ever proposed. Her light and humorous ways captivated his heart as did her sharp mind. She was both a nurturer as she was an intellect which intrigued him, as many women of that time settled with being wallflowers strictly. Sadly, 9 years after the birth of their children she came down with a bout of influenza. It had hit her so badly in fact that she was unable to overcome it and passed away. This left Marcus utterly heartbroken and slightly bitter for the next few years. Though a deviant sexually he still was unable to truly give his heart away again for he still clutched to Arianna's memory.


Personality wise Marcus is a very easy going, high energy, and friendly man. His never feels the need to waste his energy on negative feelings like hate. The man is a lover more than anything else but be careful! When he is angered or annoyed he will put his lover attitude on the back burner and become a force to be reckoned with. Though he may seem silly and a bit immature he is actually a sharp and intellectual man underneath it all.


Other: weird quirks or steampunk-specific things that don't fit in anywhere else.

Marcus arose that morning with the sun filtering in gently through his light blue curtains. His golden eyes fluttered open slowly and he gave a small groan of disapproval. Why did the mornings always have to come so swiftly? All he wished for was that he could for once spent a day to himself and not worry about the outside world. However, as an Emperor it was necessary for him to constantly be mindful and briefed on the events of the hour, day, week, month, it did not matter. Pulling his sheets back the man moved to sit on the edge of his bed rubbing his legs some. Every morning they seemed to get so sore he definitely needed to see his physician about this. Getting up he finally and in a sluggish manner walked across the room to get washed up and dressed for the day.


Today it was going to be the same as it was day after day. There was so much monotony in his work it became a chore; no fun at all. What he wouldn't give to just give his position to someone else and live life while he could. After all he wasn't a spring chicken though he looked ten years or so younger than he was. There would come a time he would get sick one day himself and pass away, and really what could he say he did that was fun? Going out into the bars and slumming it so to speak was not precisely top on his list. His job as Emperor only held so much excitement for so long before he grew tired of it. Looking in the mirror as he dressed he knew for sure he took great care of himself, he didn't look a day over 38! It was just the simple fact he knew the truth and he was unhappy with his current circumstance. Even so his people needed him and for another day he would make the decisions, keep the peace, and maintain everything to his best ability.

Exiting his room the man was right away greeted as he strode down the hall. He gave a friendly smile and word to all his maids and the butlers before heading to the throne room. His gaze drifted to everything within his palace, it was so opulent and beautiful yet he still felt somewhat empty if that were the word. Feliciano was gone, Romano was missing, and most of his family was off here and there or passed away. Such was life though and he kept his head up and his mind occupied as to not become too disheartened.
