Can't think of a name to fit your faction?

Try these links to help you out! biggrin :

Roman Name Maker (male&female)

Gaul/Celtic and Greek Names (male&female)(Samnites, because of Greek influence use there naming system.)

Carthaginian names (they copied the phoenicians, which is where they originally came from anyway) (I know it seems like a stupid site but this is the largest amount I could find on my own sweatdrop )

Name: Marcus Clulius Sulla Defensor
Character Age: 32
Appearance: User Image
Main Weapons: Telum Ferreum, gladius, scutum.
Personality: Obedient, determined, and dogmatic. I take no bull from anyone in my cavalry division. I am not one to question orders, and I take commands at face value. Given a position of leadership I am obliged to make sure that the orders of the consul are taken out to the word by every single man on a horse in Legio IX. I care not for individual concerns or problems, and factor in very rarely my own opinion where it is not required.
Background: Raised from a wealthy family in Latium, schooled and trained in tactics and history in Rome. At the age of 20 I was sent out to defend the northern borders of Rome, and that, I say without hesitation, is what I'm best at. I've served 12 years in Legio IX as mounted infantry, and have been appointed by the consuls to take control of the unit in the legion. Having had exceptional experience dispatching of Gauls and Teutons, I am the local expert on the trade, and do not underestimate their cunning and strength. It is the outlying barbaric large men with bows and spears that strike the most fear into the most respectable, dignified cavalryman. Cowards, all of them. Let them come into the field with me. I will end them.
Race: Human
Faction: Roman
Abilities: Horseriding, throwing spears, command, combat. What else is useful?

Background: Flavius's father was also a senator and after his death Flavius has taken his place. Flavius is the tribune of the plebeians of Rome. so he represents the citizens of Rome's interests (or tries when it suits him).

In the legions he served against the Samnites in the south untill the age of 25 where he earned himself command over a single legion and a spear given to him by the senate for his distinguished service.

Name: Ayzebel
Character Age: Adult
Appearance: Look Here
Main Weapon: a pair of ensorcerelled Kopis, a fine dagger, and her composite Persian bow.
Personality: As brilliant as she is beautiful, Ayzebel is a woman of great melancholies, quick to laugh and quick to anger. Yet she does not let her emotions rule her and uses them as well as her sorcery, charm, and sword arm to get what she wants.
View of Other Peoples: She views the Romans as annoying pests that get in the way of her buisness deals. The Gaelic tribes of Europe (Both Celts and Gauls) she knows as long time trading partners and gladly deals with them. She does buisness with the Samites and is wary of Macedon. Her opinion of Greeks is mixed: She finds Spartan men very appealing save for their dry attitudes and enjoys the fact Athens is no longer a trading super power. Persians are welcome trading partners as are the Egyptians. She tends to judge more Monstrous people by their native culture rather than appearance.
Background: Ayzebel is of the blood of Dido, the founding queen of her beloved city. Trained in the arts of mercantilism, magic, and swordsmanship, she was given a ship of her own to command when she became of age as a present from her mother, the reigning ruler of Carthage. Now she sails the Mediterranean as an adventurer, pirate, merchant, and representative of her punic homeland.
Race: Human
Faction:Kar-Dahast (Carthage to you barbarians)
Abilities: She is a swift and acrobatic sword fighter and as a daughter of royal Punic blood, she is a frighteningly powerful sorceress.
