Caesar's Rome

It has been a week since Caesar and his Legion entered New Vegas. The fires died down, the profligates purged. Caesar oversaw the restoration of the Strip. His Legate by his side. But things needed doing. And so Caesar called the scout, Anthony Servius, to the Lucky 38.

Name: Borgia Manus

Faction: Custodi, however Borgia becomes the acting leader of New Vegas.

Physical Description: African - American. 6'1. Borgia had dark, medium length hair and wears a rough beard. He is quite an attractive man, if rugged and perhaps slightly intimidating.

Equipment:

Weapons: Machete gladius, marksman carbine and a hunting shotgun.

Apparel: Centurion armour.

Misc: Healing powder, purified water, binoculars and a sack of Legion Denarius

Back - Story / Personality: Borgia is a man bound by honour. He is quite a charismatic man, but also brutal and ruthless when needs be. Borgia is not brainwashed by the Legion. He supports them and their methods, believing they are necessary to tame Post-Apocalyptic America.

Borgia grew up in California, an NCR citizen. After discovering Borgia was skilled with ranged weapons, the NCR enlisted Borgia into the NCR army. He trained to become a 1st Recon sniper. He soon grew tired and frustrated with the NCR, and their inability to protect their massive expanse of land. Borgia left when he was seventeen, before he completed training.

He lived under a different name beforehand, but changed it when he left, adopting Borgia Manus. After a time of travelling, Borgia met a small caravan company. He became a caravan guard, and wandered the wastes with the men.

During a trip to the newly-occupied Arizona, Borgia and his caravan group were attacked by raiders. Outnumbered and surprised, all but Borgia died in the assault. Borgia killed the raiders, and was spotted by a Legion patrol. Borgia was asked if he wanted to join the Legion. Borgia agreed, seeing no other choice.

After hearing fully about the Legion, and Caesar's ideals, Borgia found himself firmly in agreement. Eventually Borgia was sent to the Mojave, where he met Caesar. Borgia was soon promoted to Centurion. He was skilled not only in ranged combat, but also in melee.

Borgia led the troops who supported Marlo Springer through the Dam's Power Plants during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam.

Name: Trajan Nerva

Faction: Custodi

Physical Description: Tan skin, 5'10, slim with defined arms. Gaunt cheeks and a defined jawline provide a sort of "angular" look.

Equipment: Gladius with typical rounded Roman pommel made from a long strip of steel scrap metal, sharpened to a razor edge (Got the idea from an old drawing of an actual gladius), Browning Hi-Power for emergencies, centurion uniform and helmet. Various different dry foods, healing powder and purified water are kept in a small parcel Trajan keeps on the small of his back.

Back- Story / Personality: Ruthless would be the word used to describe any one of Caesar's legionnaires yet it seemed to fit the young yet vicious Trajan more so. Having been born without the luxury of a given name, Trajan was tribal of six when a contubernium of legionnaires sacked his small village, killing any men past the age of eight and taking the women as slaves. It was the centurion in command of the raid that took a personal liking to young Trajan, going so far as to name him after a famous Roman emperor and conqueror.

It was also he who taught the illiterate child how to speak properly, read and even write. Of course, along with a basic education he was also taught the importance of honor and value of pride in ones calling. As such, Trajan felt a strong allegiance to both the centurion who essentially raised him and to the Legion as a whole. Swearing a silent oath to serve until death, Trajan's loyalty borders on fervor. In the few raiding parties he's participated in, he's been known to show no mercy, even when instructed otherwise.

Having recently been promoted to the rank of centurion himself for his actions during a small campaign against a tribe known as the "Longbauts", located just a bit northeast of the Mojave, in which he saved an entire conturbenia of men, Trajan was immediately stationed at the strip, put in charge of the "Custodi", a "peacekeeping" force meant to keep the local profligates in line.

He does nto despise the Legion, but their means are incredibly brutal in his opinions and the laws are well, plain silly. Now his day job, that really takes place at night is bringing the sin back to Sin City. He works for a small group of people working in the underground market. In the new regime, alchohol, chems, and gambling are outlawed and punishable. So he secretly brings alchohol, and chems to people of Freeside and the Strip.

Name: Nick Parker

Faction: The Negotium

Physical Description: Face. 5' 10'' and an athletic build, not bulky nor scrawny.

Equipment:

Weapons: .357 Magnum, a silenced Uzi. Family Katana.

Apparel: Black business suit with Kevlar jacket underneath.

Misc: Ammunition, Speed Reload for Magnum, Healing Powder, Golden Locket.

Back Story: Nick was born under one of the most influential members in the Mojave Wasteland as his father owned a large caravan which supplied towns and even the NCR with ammunition, guns, and anything else they needed. At an early age, Nick was taught philosophy, business, science, and above all, combat with both guns and the family Katana.

When Nick turned 23 years old, his father was assassinated by the NCR, who found out Nick's father had dealings with Legion for protection. As a result, Nick immediately seized control of the caravan and supplied the Legion with hundreds of raw materials for weapons and ammunition for their guns. In exchange, the Legion gave his caravan complete protection.

After the Second Battle at Hoover Dam and after New Vegas was established as Legion territory, Caesar named Nick as the head of the Negotium as a reward for supplying the Legion through the end. At that time, Nick was 28 years old. A couple months later, he married one of his caravan members who had a crush on him for a very long time, Evelyn Shay, with Caesar's blessing.

Personality: Nick is completely neutral, even when it comes to the Legion. He does what is the most beneficial to him and his organization. Nick is highly intelligent and a visionary, much like Mr. House. In fact, the two aren't that different. Both wanted the same thing, but Nick sees the Legion as the slow and sure way to regain civilization. Not evil but not a good guy at all.

Name: Kaleb Burke

Faction: Negotium

Description: 45-year old male. 5’8”. Cropped, brown hair with tinges of grey at the temples. Short-trimmed full beard with silver streaks

Equipment:

Weapons: .44 Magnum revolver w/ scope, .44 Magnum revolver w/ heavy frame, knife

Apparel (In-shop): White, grease stained shirt. Brown cargo pants. White apron.

Apparel (Field): Brown cargo pants. White shirt. Dark brown duster. Brahminhide cowboy hat w/ ring of gecko teeth around the crown.

Bio: Nobody really knows where Kaleb came from. He showed up in New Vegas shortly after the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, and set up shop, selling survival food such as jerky.

When the Negotium was formed, Kaleb joined. He opened up the Sizzlin’ Strip Shop (everyone calls it “The Shop” for short) near the Strip entrance, cooking food that was said to rival the old Ultra-Luxe’s The Gourmand, as well as preparing some of the finest-quality travelling foodstuff. When caravans prepare to travel, they stock up at The Shop; when the Custodi want some finely-cooked steak, they go to The Shop. Kaleb has become an integral member of the Negotium, his shop becoming a locally-famous institution of fine dining, even though his shop doesn’t have a fine dining area.

Kaleb has a paternal aura about him. He knows the orders of all his regulars by heart, and treats them with fatherly fondness, whether they are a citizen of New Vegas or a member of the Custodi. Oddly enough, they respond in kind with respectful deference, which is a bit of a concern with the Legion higher-ups.

Yet, nobody really knows the story behind Kaleb; him being a master at deflecting minds inquiring about his past. Nobody has ever been to his apartments above The Shop either. And there are stories circulating amongst the populace about Kaleb, about a nondescript metal chest that holds the key to Kaleb’s past….

Name: Insigne Trib?s

Faction: Custodi

Physical Description: Hispanic male, medium long green tinted hair, about 225 CM long, quite muscular (7STR), perfect symmetric scar in the middle of his chin, several long scars from knife battles on his arms.
I drew a picture of him: http://img545.images...75491437150.jpg

Equipment:

Weapons: Personal Machete, it's similar in appearance to the standard issue machete but it's cracked at the top and it has a wave-like yellow coloring along the blade.

Apparel: Standard Legionnaire Armor.

Misc: Healing powder, purified water, rope, shades.

Back - Story / Personality: Insigne Trib?s was once known as Domiq Fernand, he was part of an unnamed tribe that was highly religious about earthquakes.
He on the other hand did not care for this bullcrap despite the elders pushing him each day until they finally had enough, they exiled him from their village and sent him out in the wastes with nothing but the clothes on his back to die.
He wandered for days searching for what little food or water there were until he stumbled onto a Legion outpost.
The Legion decanus asked him about his reasons for being on Legion grounds to which he got no reply.
The decanus was slightly annoyed at Domiq for his attitude and had him thrown in the holding pen until he had decided what to do with him.
Seeing Domiq's physique and his height made him come to two conclusions, either he could be a great asset, or he could be a great enemy.
After being in a holding pen for a couple of days the decanus asked if he wanted to join the Legion.
Domiq answered with a single "Yes." During the next weeks he received training in the outpost until the day came to assimilate/exterminate a tribe.
This was his first mission, and the target was his home tribe, as they attacked and took down what pathetic guards they had Domiq rushed towards the elders, he knew that the rest of the people would panic if the elders was killed, and with his mighty hands he crushed their bodies with his blade with such force that it cracked a bit at the top.

He never spoke to any legionnaire, slave, citizen, beast or potential tribe for assimilation about where he came from.
During the next 4 years he spent his time in the Legion, constantly training and going on missions.
The one time he met Caesar he startled him with his height making him shout out "Insigne Trib?s!", after calming down and discussing with Domiq's centurion about battle plans the centurion said to Domiq to take up that name instead of the old one, Insigne Trib?s.

Insigne is a calm man, never loses temper, over the years he has opened up to others making him more "chat-able", he does not care very much for fun, morals, ethics, temptation, lust or love, he cares about justice, Legion's justice, none of the former will ever come in the way of him doing a job well.

While he does not care for it when he is on his free time he can be more "open" about things but isn't exactly going to be the life of the party.
He is not Graham or Lanius in battle strength so he isn't overpowered, but if you lie down on the ground and he stomps on your face then there isn't going to be much else but paste left there, so he is strong, very strong, but not overly strong, can't pick up a car like the Hulk.

Name: Leonard Fontaine or 'Leo'

Faction: White Glove Society attempting to gain leadership of the Society

Physical Description: French American with a quarter Hispanic heritage, he stands about 5" 11' and has medium brown hair that is combed into a proper side part. His face is clean shaven and his sideburns are kept at a proper and constant 2".

Equipment:

Weapons: Dress Cane, and a .357 Revolver that he keeps in his pocket at all times for security reasons

Apparel: Suave Gambler's Hat and a standard White Glove Society attire

Misc: Legion Denarius, a few Legion Aureus, and an old gold pocket watch he keeps in the front pocket of his suit

Back - Story / Personality: Born in a small village in Utah called Brigham, Leonard was born to one Nancy Fontaine and Luke Fontaine. Growing up he was considered to be one of the brightest in Brigham due to his avid study of ancient history and world science before the war from an old library that remained free from outside interference for as long as he could remember. His particularly favorite thing to study of the ancient world was that of the Cannibals of ancient Africa eventually he grew to understand the practice of Cannibalism as not being inhumane but rather just another part of the circle of life and soon took to practicing it. However when this was found out he was promptly shunned by Brigham and disowned by his parents. Ashamed he took to exploring Utah and eventually linked up with a traveling group of Mormons who took him under their wing and taught him more about religion and world science. Soon enough he tried to become one of the leaders of these Mormon roving bands but because of his cannibalistic practices that had not been done for at least five years were found out, he was promptly denied being able to become one of the leaders. Leaving the Mormon bands he began to explore the West again and eventually stumbled into the Mojave, when he heard of a town known as New Vegas he attempted to get in but was shot down because he couldn't afford the steep credit check.

Always one to keep trying he eventually scrounged around enough caps to buy his way into New Vegas, once in there he realized he'd need a job after trying to find work with the Omerta's he eventually left because of their less than refined habits. Continuing to find a job he eventually became the crier for the Tops, but was fired after he tried to break up a fight between two of the patrons one of which was related to the then leader of the Chairmen. Left with no caps and next to nothing in the way of food he left New Vegas and became a squatter in Freeside. However as fate would have it one day a caravan trader saw him on the streets begging for caps, and tasked him to help deliver his Brahmin steaks to the Ultra-Lux. As he delivered the beef he was found by Mortimer who took him under his wing as a protegee of sorts and trained him to be more refined and upper class than he was. Although he was made an honorary member of the White Glove Society his squatting background and current pariah status with Brigham and most others in the Wasteland left many to criticize if he deserved to be a White Glove.

However after Mortimer vouched for him and Leo started to show more skill at being one of the social elites most of the criticism stopped, he eventually became Mortimer's right hand man and was to be the leader of the White Gloves although some people are still doubting if these claims are legitimate or not. Due to the fact that the wishes of Mortimer were never recorded for he had no intention of dieing at the second battle of Hoover Dam. Leonard is a very loyal Legion follower and takes an especially keen liking to the tales of Caesar and Joshua Graham before of course Joshua Graham let Caesar down at the first battle of Hoover Dam.

Leo Fontaine is a very proper person, laid back, a very knowledgeable person often mistaken to have been a Follower of the Apocalypse, as well as a very hard worker having worked his way from the bottom rung of society to the elite numerous times. He has no ill wishes to the Mormons and still studies what they taught him as a hobby.

Name: Moreno Sanguil (Rene for short)

Faction: Omerta, trying to live through the families loss of power to the Legion.

Physical Description: Dark Brown Hair, clean shaven and combed hair. Small whiskers of a beard. Medium build, and a bit short of average height. Brown eyes. White skin, not tan but not pale. Small laceration scars and burns around his left arm elbow(bad run in with a fire gecko in his days as a tribal).

Aid: Jet, Mentats, and 3 purified water and a slab of raw Bighorner Steak.

Misc : 4 Legion Aureus, and one Denarius, 140 bottle caps, and wears an old tribal necklace decorated with small feathers and beads with a small arrow tip shaped stone he wore from his tribal days.(he never shows this to anyone even the other Omertas).

History/pshcology:

In his early years living with the tribe that would once become the Omertas he enjoyed picking through the wastes hunting with spear in hand and making clothing from the wilderness before him. It was a simple life he enjoyed. When he went off to hunt for meat he was attacked by a Fire gecko and was badly bitten and burned before help could arrive. Living with the tribe to be Omertas it was a hard life, though there was a code of honor among the tribe to be loyal the tribe was always against each other holding their secrets and hidden plans from everyone else. Naturally he gained a small paranoid mindset and was hard to trust others. His mother gave him an old bead necklace that at the bottom was made from the arrow head that pierced the fire gecko that could have killed him, he kept it closely and took care of it even more once his mother died during a Khan raid she had mercilessly been killed in. He grew a deep hatred for khans soon after. He has a nice friendly smile that he uses to lure in his victims and then when their not looking like a stalking predator he swindles them out of a buy for chems, hokers, cards, you name it. He also has a fear developed from his past of big lizards.

Then the Securitrons came, Mr. house offering them a chance to better themselves and make them more powerful if they helped him. Rene didn't trust the metal men of bright lights and was against helping but soon they were now the Omertas and luckily Moreno was good at adapting to changes like a hunter should even though grudingly he thought it spelt disaster for his tribe and the old ways. He was loyal of course to tribe honor and made himself a skilled card dealer and worked as a cashier and helped in rigging the cards and slots for easy payout for the house and soon found a habit for gambling. He soon developed an addiction to jet to help with all the new jobs and stress he had to endure and get the job done.

Then the Legion proposed to Nero and Sal to help them take over he strip. Seeing the crimson soldiers with their spears and mechetes ignited a possible return to the oldways not full of gleaming metal or flourescent lights. he thought back to the jet and other indecenies he had come to take in at Gomorrah. He thought anything was better than having "Not At Home" around to call the shots. And helped his best in stashing weapon supplies and smuggling arms into the strip for the coming invasion.

During the invasion he took his share of securitrons and NCR police when the time came and helped trake over the Strip. Then when the Legion occupation came and saw the great court yard where so many unmentionable and erotic acts were comitted into an arena. The pool was flushed out and placed instead was sand where NCR prisoners, slaves, and glory seeking Legionary fought to the death. He then felt the urges of his gambling happen and just like that he was organizing illegal underground betting on the Legion Arena fights.

He hopes that maybe CL will return his tribe to an earlier time in life and if not he'll just have to make the best of it.

Name: Ursus Maritimus

Faction: Custodi

Physical Description: Caucasian Skin, Deep Blue Eyes, 6'2, Muscular, Slightly crooked facial structure

Weapons: Weathered Machete with "Ursus" carved into the side of the blade, 9MM Pistol

Apparel: Standard Custodi/Legionary armor

Misc: Stimpak, Nuka-cola, 16 Bottle caps

Back - Story / Personality: Ursus was originally born in Nipton. His original name was Pete Allen Dennings. While living in Nipton Ursus had multiple run-in's with Caesar's troops, he admired the way they handled themselves and wanted to grow up to be like them. Even though many people pushed him towards becoming an NCR trooper, he decided to steal his father's 9MM pistol and venture out into the wasteland. While he was out in the wasteland he found a small legion camp which he wondered into, thinking everyone was asleep. However this was not the case, he was quickly caught and taken hostage by the Legion.

After one legionaire noticed his babbles about wanting to be like a legionary so he informed the head of the camp and they quickly sent him to The Fort. Once there they forced him to suit up and take a machete. He was sent immediately into the arena to take on one of the disobediant slaves. On the machete he had was the name Ursus Maritimus. After defeating the slave easily by taking an opening to cut off the leg and the decapitate the slave. Ursus was allowed to join the Legion after fighting multiple rounds and winning each of them with ease.
In Latin, Ursus Maritimus means "Polar Bear." Ursus lived up to that name by being fierce and violent in combat while expressing hatred towards the hot enviroment of the mojave desert.


Borgia Manus

Borgia awoke in his lone apartment room in the Delicata Hotel, formally the Ultra Luxe. He had to arise early, leading the Custodi was an honourable job. Caesar had considered giving the position to Lanius himself. He had decided against it, however. For reasons Borgia himself wasn't sure of, but he did not question. Being head of the security at New Vegas made Borgia feel like he had succeeded. He had risen through the ranks of the Legion, fought in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, and led a prominent role in the running of Caesar's Rome.

As Borgia was pulling his Centurion armour over his well defined and scarred body, he heard a rapping on the door. The hour was early, and the knock surprised him. Borgia placed his helmet on his mattress and approached the door. Looking through the keyhole, Borgia recognised the Legionary. Anthony Servius, a highly respected explorator, now runner for the mighty Caesar himself. Borgia fiddled with the lock and opened his door.

"Ave Anthony," Borgia greeted with a nod.

Anthony returned the nod. "Ave. Caesar wishes for you to meet with him in his quarters immediately."

Borgia frowned. He was not used to one on one meetings with Caesar, Borgia had reported to Vulpes or Lucius so far as head of the Custodi.

"Very well, Anthony. Vale."

"Vale, brother."


Borgia walked down the largely deserted road towards Caesar's quarters. He had yet to be in the building in which Caesar looked upon his kingdom. There were stalls set up along the road, all run by the newly installed Negotium. The Negotium was run by a long time supplier to the Legion, one Nick Parker. An intelligent and capable man no doubt, Borgia didn't know him enough to know where his loyalties lay however.

Borgia passed what was once the Tops, now simply known as the Insulae. Almost every previously non-Legion citizen resided in the Insulae.

Borgia entered the first section of the Strip via gate. He emerged from the other side and immediately saw what was soon to become the Colosseum. A huge arena where fights would be held. Guests to Caesar's Rome could stay overnight in the expensive hotel rooms, and watch the weekly battles.

Borgia crossed the road and stop before Caesar's atrio solii. Aurelius of Phoenix stood outside the huge building. Aurelius was an odd man, but also a well respected troop of the Legion.

"Ave, true to Caesar," Aurelius greeted, passively.

"Ave. I am here for an audience with Caesar."

Aurelius narrowed his eyes at Borgia for a moment before nodding.

"Indeed, fellow Centurion."

Aurelius stood from the wooden chair he had propped next to the entrance to Caesar's home, and led Borgia into the building. Inside was empty. Aurelius walked towards a huge chamber in the middle of the room.

"It's an elevator," Aurelius explained. "Caesar despises it, but the culus House didn't put in stairs." Aurelius then pressed a black button. A moment later the doors opened.

"After you," Aurelius said, indicating towards the opened doors.


Borgia exited the shaft. The ride had been different, it seemed unstable. The ground shook as the rose through the tall building. Borgia didn't care for it too much. He saw a praetorian guard standing outside the elevator.

"After me," he muttered and made his way down small flight of stairs. They entered a room. A bed lay in the middle. Borgia saw Caesar sitting in the corner. He was sitting in his throne looking out a window. Vulpes Inculta approached Borgia.

"Ah yes, Borgia. Caesar awaits you."

Borgia nodded and walked towards Caesar. The praetorian guard were shuffling in and out of the bedroom, carrying various things such as weapons and Legion apparel.

"Borgia," Caesar boomed, still looking out the window.

"Awe, Caesar. To what do I owe?"

Caesar chuckled. "I did it. I now control the Mojave. Yet look at it. A [censored] fiend den compared to the rest of my empire." Caesar sighed. "I will clean up the Mojave. I will make sure my people can roam without fearing attack. And I could probably do it from the safety of this Rome. But things need my attention. I must travel to Flagstaff. To be honest I truly wish this New Vegas to be the capital of Caesar's Legion. But it cannot be so, not until the surrounding regions are free of threat."

Borgia nodded and continued listening intently.

"I have decided to leave you in charge of my Rome, while I am gone at least. How long, I do not know. My praetorians will accompany me, as will Lanius and Vulpes. Thus, you are the most powerful man in my Legion left in my Rome. You shall replace yourself as the leader of the Custodi and run this city. Do you understood?"

Borgia felt numb. He shook his head. "Yes Caesar, I understand. Gratias."

"Good then. We shall be gone by the end of the day. You may take up residence here. I do not recommend it too greatly. It is too secluded. Too quiet. If I was not leaving, I would probably move, myself."

Caesar stood from his throne and turned to Borgia. He walked to him and placed his hands to the sides Borgia's face , grasping it firmly.

"Rome, as it will be called from now further, is possibly the most important settlement in my Legion." Caesar's grasp tightened. "Do not mess up, Borgia."

"I will not let you down, Caesar."

Caesar smiled and let go of Borgia. "You must oversee production of the Colosseum, fix the management issues with the White Glove Society and sort out the Insulae. That rat, Cachino, was executed yesterday. He ran a building filled with scum and sin. The man, Swank, was friends with Benny. Seek him out. Also, meet up with Parker and discuss business."

Borgia nodded.


Anthony had entered the room from the elevator.

"Anthony, seek out my second in command Trajan Nerva. Tell him to meet me in the Delicata in about a half hour."

Colt Harris-Negotium

"What!" The mans voice echoed far down the street. "This is outrageous! Fifty caps for one stimpack!?"

The screaming man continued to bellow out angry insults at Chase, but the experienced trader kept his cool. So did the gaurd beside him. Colt Harris was an intimadating man, standing at six feet tall with arms that could crush a watermelon. His composure was cool, but he kept his eyes focused on the mans pockets hoping he wasn't holding a weapon. Chase tried to cool the man down by cutting the price down to 45 caps, but the man continued to scream until his voice was hoarse. After thirty minutes and a headache, Colt finally escorted the man away from the stand. The man spat a curse and stormed of, much to the relief of Colt.

The small stand, which comprised mainly of medical supplies, hadn't had much business that day. Chase looked down, and Colt murmured an apology. "It's okay kid, there have been worse days..."
Chase handed Colt his daily pay of 125 caps. It wasn't much, but enough to satisfy the large man. Colt hastily left, glad to be done with the slow and quite annoying day. He wasn't used to working at stands, but ever since the Negotium opened many of the Caravans have ran out of business. The trouble at the stands wasn't exciting, either. It mainly comprised of drunk old men who couldn't control themselves. What else can I expect? A deathclaw?

Colt walked down the strip, noting the massive arena that was increasing in size every day. Custodi soldiers littered the streets, Colt averted his gaze. It was difficult, though, because the large shotgun mounted on his back was a hard item to avoid. Some of the younger soldiers watched with big eyes, while the older ones narrowed theirs. His USAS-12 was not a weapon to take lighly, as the devastation it has on its target is incredible. Eventually Colt came upon a custodi soldier reading what appeared to be a speech on top of a small podium. There was a small crowd around him. They were the small number of citizens actually interested in what the man had to say. Propaganda. I wonder if it works? Colt took a seat on a nearby bench and listened in on the man.

Charlie Moore

Charlie put his black bandana on, he was breathing heavily, and every night before he headed out to work he got nervous. The price for dealing in the town now called Rome was heavy. He could lose a hand, or even worse, be tortured and then executed.
He reached for his black horn rimmed sun glasses and put them on, and then he put his black cap on. He had already put the merchandise in his bag and his M4 was loaded up and leaning against the wall near the door. He wore what used to be his NCR armour, but he had changed it, added pieces, and removed pieces so guards around town would not suspect he was with the NCR and search him.

He got off his bed and moved over to his desk. Grabbing his S&W Model 29 and loaded six rounds into the cylinder, it was very shiny as he had polished the Walnut handle and the Carbon Steel Frame and Cylinder every day. He stuck the weapon in its holster and put it on. He scooped up his jacket and wore it over top of the get up he already had on. Turning he grabbed his M4 and his Combat Knife and left his scummy rundown apartment in Freeside and headed out for the strip.
He knew a hole in the broken walls and fences that he snuck through behind the ruins of a small run down casino. Technically it was not a casino anymore, but it was best if the Legion did not know that. He approached the same alley he always went to, sitting down at the end with his M4 in hand. The rusty pipes ran by the side and water dripped out. Rats moved by the nearby sewer entrance.

A man then rounded the corner; it was a long-time client of his named Jeremiah. He dropped a bag of caps down in front of Charlie. “The usual,” he said.

Charlie placed the M4 down on the dirty, wet ground. Grabbing the bad he reached inside and pulled out a small pouch filled with jet. He handed that to him.
“Load it in to your own inhaler and it should work fine.”

“Alright, thanks, Charles,” Jeremiah said. The man turned and walked away.

This night is gonna take forever.

Nick Parker

Nick awoke in his "High Roller Suite" in the Tops Casino. He glanced over past the sleeping body of Evelyn and to the calendar. It was the day Caesar was leaving and one of his followers, a somewhat high member of the Custodi, was taking over.

He sighed and kicked the bed lightly, waking up Evelyn. She turned around and frowned at him, mostly for getting her cranky on both her and Nick's first day actually doing work for the Negotium. Evelyn got up, rubbed her eyes, and went downstairs to cook the breakfast, as usual. Ever since Caesar took New Vegas, both Nick and Evelyn were living like gods.

When Nick finished up in the bathroom and came downstairs, just like always, a small table with Fancy Lad Snack Cakes was laid out. After finishing up breakfast, Nick got into his suit and headed down to the 13th Floor, which was being used as a sort of office for him.

One of Nick's assistants, Allison, one of his employees before the Second Battle, bowed respectfully. "Ave, True to Caesar," She said respectfully. Nick couldn't help but chuckle.

Yes...true to Caesar my [censored]. The Legion is good and all...but having to salute him in every single greeting...

"Whatever, now then, I have a meeting with a...Borgia Manus? I'm going to be managing the taxes in the other room so tell me if he comes."

Kaleb Burke

It was midmorning, and already the day was turning into a disaster. It seemed like everything that could go wrong, was going wrong. This is going to be a long day, Kaleb mulled as he sat on a bench in The Shop’s lobby. One of the ovens was leaking gas and had to be shut off before it blew up the kitchen. They were also running low on gas. Apparently, the oven had been leaking since last night, and ,as a result, bled away most of The Shop’s gas supply into the kitchen. Consequently, they would be doing no cooking for the next few hours while they vented the flammable gas out of the building. He had also caught one of his cooks adding Abraxo cleaner to a batch of today’s Brahmin stew; Kaleb promptly kicked the careless fool out of his shop. The idiot was undoubtedly on chems, as indicated by his glazed eyes and listless manner.

And to top it all off, the Negotium runner delivering today’s supplies was mugged in The Shop’s backalley. A pair of chem fiends had jumped the runner at the alley’s mouth, viciously stabbing him several times. The runner tried to crawl deeper into the alley and away from his attackers. Unfortunately, the alley was a dead end, leaving him trapped between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

The addicts would have finished him off too, had Kaleb not appeared just then, stepping out The Shop’s backdoor to look for the now-late runner. He stared at the knife-wielding addicts, momentarily surprised by the scene that greeted him. Recovering quickly, Kaleb pulled a .44 revolver from his pocket.

“Hey, what are you two doing?! Get away from him!”, Kaleb bellowed, leveling the pistol at the pair.

Startled, they snarled at the apron-clad man and charged at him. Kaleb aimed at the lead addict and fired a pair of bullets into the chem fiend’s chest. The junkie was momentarily stunned, but quickly shrugged off the shock and resumed his mad rush. He only took a few steps before Kaleb drilled a third round into the addict’s head and dropped him, spraying the alley wall with a bloody fan of brain and bone.

While the first addict died, the second addict had closed the range. The junkie was definitely under the influence: the man reeked of Rocket and whiskey. He lunged at Kaleb with his bloody knife. Whether by luck or by chem-infused disorientation, the junkie missed. He stumbled into a garbage can and dropped to the ground, the knife skittering away. He attempted to rise, but Kaleb clubbed him in the side of the head with the butt of his pistol and the junkie pitched nervelessly to the ground. Certain that the addict was unconscious, Kaleb opened the backdoor and hollered into the kitchen.

“Hey, Sanderson! Get back here with some rope and a bottle of vodka. Some idiots just tried to kill our runner. And send someone to get the Custodi, NOW!”

Grabbing the bottle of vodka proffered to him by one of the staff, Kaleb ran to the wounded runner began administering first aid.

That was about an hour ago. The surviving junkie was bound and gagged behind the counter; a butcher knife-wielding staffer loomed menacingly over him. The injured runner was gone: the kitchen staff had fashioned an improvised stretcher out of a potato sack and a pair of metal poles and was hustling the runner to the nearest doctor. Kaleb was sitting out in the lobby, waiting for the Custodi to arrive. Elbows on his knees, he was kneading the heels of his hands on his forehead, trying to massage away the migraine that had blossomed in his head in the past hour. Then, Kaleb heard the front door squeak open, followed by the sounds of heavy footsteps quickly approaching. Peeking between his hands, he glanced at whoever had just entered…

Ursus Maritimus

Ursus jolted from his bed. He was in what was the Ultra-luxe casino. He slowly remembered the events of the past weeks and how he came to be in the Ultra-luxe. He stretched out his arms and yawned, slowly pulling off the covers and leaving the bed's comfort. He reached down and grabbed his armor, slowly putting it on over his chest. He next reached down and picked up his machete off the ground, turning towards the door. It was time to check on the arena. He walked out into the lobby and crossed it; opening the elevator and climbing in. He tapped in for the first floor and leaned back into the wall.

The elevator made a slight pinging noise as it stopped on the main floor. Ursus exited the elevator and crossed into what used to be the Casino. He moved past the bar and hurried to the door. Opening it with a great forcefulness Ursus stepped out into the daylight. It was way past when he was supposed to be out and about patrolling. Hopefully Caesar wouldn't make a big deal of it; Ursus thought for a moment and realized Caesar was leaving Rome.

Ursus made his way down the steps to the main road. He started his walk towards the Arena. He would need to find a new way to entertain himself while the Arena was being made unless perhaps there was a makeshift arena. He would have to see. He made his way to the Arena and finally got to it's front steps. "Excellent." He thought.

(Is there a makeshift arena?)

Moreno Sanguil

Rene woke up to the sound of shouting outside. He looked around the little nook of an apartment room he had lived in for years in Gomorrah, the Legion was "kind" enough to allow him to live in his own room, seeing to his serivce of annexing the Strip from NCR police and securitrons. Systematically he checked all his cubby holes and nooks to make thing were in their proper place. The explosives he had stashed in various places were still there looking around shifty like he gave a deep breather. "On a thin thread here" He thought. "Wonder whats going to happen to me and the others if I run out of purpose here....Will I end up like Cachino?" His mind darted back to the execution Cachino.

Cachino lay there before the arena being currently constructed for Caeser's Rome. It was the old Gomorrah courtyard, where so many seedy and provocative happenings have happened, that even a Securitron would blush. Instead a tents filled with pillows, benches were being constructed around the concourse so the audience could have a proper seat to the festivities which included fights to the death and executions. The pool that was once in its centered was now full of sand, instead of soaking up piss and other bodily excrement it only soaked with blood through the deep sand that was being shoveled inside. Even though it was in its infant stages of construction there was a small collection of fights being done against some of the captured NCR prisoners and a few other slaves. Rene was always good with organizing things and such and the Legion saw this and used him to assign the small fights, the Legion veterans would laugh and heckle at the performers of eath on that sandy stage, due to their tmidness to fight someone they had nothing against. But eventualy encouragement came that both would die if they would not kill.

But now it was an execution ground, Rene thoguht back to how they had brought in centurions and a praetorian gaurd, all ox of a man, there were a number of four each with a rope in hand each connected to one of Cachino's limbs, well leaving out the details, the strength of the men was to much for Cachino's body and was torn limb from limb by the iron grips of these men. Rene didn't care for Cachino with his stealing in on his action and taking percentages out of his work, and of the [censored] he did with Joana and some of the other hokers, well even Omertas might think twice about. but still it was hard to watch a man scream like take while his legs and arms were being dislocated from their sockets.

Rene due to his Omerta like ways and tough habits to break had started a small gambling system down near the entrance to the courtyard, some of the traders and "guests" at the Tops still had gambling fever (This is Vegas after all) and he orchestrated a few odds on who would win.

Through the day he would argue and announce odds in Sal and Nero's office. "Alright, alright 3 to 1 on the young kid with the blonde hair against the NCR medical woman!", "Hey keep it down old woman do you want the Legion to cut our thumbs off?! "Why the [censored] would I take NCR money?" "Remember the password for tomorrow to get in and place bets is 'Highway man', or I will not know you ok?

Just getting by...but whats the point of life without risk?

OOC- Elvis i hope you didn't mind me putting a bit of detail into Cachino's execution or the Arena. Also anyone give me the gounds rules of how to set up dialogue in an RP? Also what do I use when their just thinking? - I've only RPed once or twice so just trying to get some questions answered.

Insigne Trib?s

Insigne walked the main road of Temedorn, a city to the east of Vegas, up towards his centurions office.
The streets were not like the outposts and recently captured towns he had been living in, the people here were generally happy, crime was very, very low, the slaves had finished up their work and most of them relocated to other worksites with the few remaining being treated rather fairly.
The city itself was blossoming, prospering thanks to Legion's safety in trade and the slave labor, it was unusual for him to be in such a... Kind place...

He opened to the door to his centurions building, Malefius Sinerii, and saw the female receptionist, Christina Maeers, a 30 something woman with a blonde ponytail and big glasses reading a bunch of papers while smacking away at a mutfruit.
Moving silently towards her she was shocked at his sudden appearance like she had been many times before. "Holy [censored] you scared me! Stop moving around like a mouse for heaven's sake", Insigne chuckled; "you were always very jumpy".
Her frown turned into a deceiving smile "I'm so gonna get you back some day you know, and then we'll see how has the last laugh." He smiled, "I'll sure be looking forward to the day I get scared... Anyway, is Malefius in?". Christina started sorting her papers "Yeah he's in, he's probably going to send you off too" she sighed. "To Vegas?", "No apparently it's to be called "Rome" now since we've conquered it.".

Insigne walked past her desk and opened the door to his superiors office, a stench of cigar-smoke was in the room that overwhelmed him, Malefius noticed his entrance "Well well, finally decided to move your ass over here huh?" he grinned. Malefius was a man in his early 40's, his armor was decorated with so many power armor parts that one would think he might just be wearing one. "Yeah I went a round around town to see how things were going.". "Really? Things started calming down a long time ago, you're still a bit caught up in the war state aren't you?", he's grin went down as he put out the cigarette and pulled out a paper, "Actually, that's why you're being reassigned to Rome, it's fairly new and things still need to be put in order over there." "I understand" Insigne sits down, looks a little disappointed, "I guess it's hard to let go of it, it's part of my life now." Malefius looks up as he gives Insigne his paper, "Well, that's why you're going to be of a good use there, you haven't gone soft, you're still alert, me, I'm not so much anymore, still got fighting left in me that's for sure but my rank as a centurion is nothing more than a pleasantry now, this paper is your document of transfer, they are taking safety precautions to make sure no spies or infiltrators are moving in amongst our ranks." He starts scratching his head and frowns as he tries to remember something. "Ah, yes, you're going to go with Job's caravan to Rome, should go speak with him soon as he's ready to leave." Insigne stands up and puts the paper in his pocket as he's moving towards the door. "Oh and Trib?s" Insigne turns his head around, "Good luck over there." Insigne smiles and continues to walk out the door.

OOC: For future reference I would prefer if any attacks such as the fiend one would not be posted without PM confirmation first. It's not a huge issue, it's just conflicts with what the Legion is supposed to offer. As I say, not a problem here, seeing as the Legion has just taken New Vegas and hasn't properly set up yet.

Also Ewok, if you wouldn't mind moving the Shop to the back of Rome. I forgot to mention it in the sign-up thread but the entire back third of Rome has been given to the Negotium until Borgia decides what to do with it. You can have stalls by the entrance of Rome if you wish.

Borgia Manus

Borgia exited through the elevator. He was still trying to process the fact that he would be running New... Rome. That was a level of importance, a level of respect Borgia never thought he could receive. Especially not from the most powerful man in the Mojave.

Borgia wandered towards the door, deep in thought. The questions, such as who should replace me as Imperator of the Custodi, how should I inform the residents of Rome, what changes should I make if any, how will I keep control... raced through his mind. He tried clearing them for a moment, but he could not.

After a few minutes of standing at the door of the Lucky 38, mulling through the different ideas and uncertainties in his head, Borgia knocked harshly. It swung open, revealing Aurelius standing outside.

"Borgia. What did Caesar want?" the man asked. Borgia merely waved him aside and continued towards the Delicata. As he was slowly walking Anthony Servius jogged up behind him.

"Sine, Borgia," the small man called from behind. Borgia halted and turned.

"Ave Anthony. Have you completed your errand?"

Anthony shook his head. He seemed somewhat distraught.

"I was on my way to the Delicata when someone approached me. A prof... citizen. Speaking of fiends in Rome."

Borgia shook his head. "Impossible. Rome is the safest settlement in the Mojave. Nobody would be stupid enough to attack, nor would they be able to."

Anthony raised his hands and shook his head violently.

"I saw it Borgia. One dead fiend, another captured one. Follow me." Before Borgia could respond, the explorator had broken into a sprint. Borgia followed him. He knew he was no longer really Custodi, but nobody else knew that. If he didn't arrive, the citizens of Rome would most probably lose respect and faith in the Custodi. They were trying to give themselves a name for being ruthless and efficient, such as the Legion itself. This alone was a huge problem. Caesar had sent out various teams to known fiends locations in an effort to rid the Mojave of them. The fact that two had apparently breached the walls of Rome did not do good for the iron-fisted stability Caesar prided his Legion on.

Borgia continued through two gates behind Anthony until they reached the last and least exciting section of Rome. Where the vault hotel was and the NCR Embassy, now the Negotium's main base of operations, had been. Caesar didn't have much plans for this section, so he temporarily handed it to the Negotium.

Borgia watched as Anthony walked into the Sizzlin' Strip Shop. A nice little place, one of the more popular stores of the Negotium. Borgia followed him in.

A man with brown hair and an apron sat on a chair before Borgia, massaging his temple. The man looked up to see who had entered his store.

"Kaleb," Borgia greeted, walking towards the man. Borgia had met Kaleb a few times due to the fact that he owned one of the most successful stores in Rome.

"If Anthony here is correct," Borgia began, motioning towards the young runner, "then you have been attacked by fiends. You also have managed to apprehend one of the assailants?" This was good. There hadn't been a public crucifixion since the Legion had entered the Strip. The NCR within had been quickly slaughtered. They had been put out before the Strip's gates in Freeside to send a message, but nothing would prove that the Legion were not to be trifled with more than a good old crucifixion.

"Brief me on what happened, and then show me to this spuma."

Kaleb Burke

Kaleb”, said the figure that stood before him. It was a statement, not a question, declared with a deep resonance that bespoke of a man of authority. It implied a man who had earned that authority through the crucible of battle, of aman who demanded the utmost respect in all things.

The man wore a set of armor that, at first glance, seemed to have been haphazardly pieced together. But its piecemeal appearance belied the significance of the individual that wore the armor. Power armor pauldrons, super mutant briastplate, Ranger armor hip plates, all of them pieces of armor from formidable warriors of the Wasteland. And all of them were worn together as a single suit of armor. It was an armor of trophies, of accomplishments on the battlefield, a signifier of the skill and ferocity of its wearer. It was the armor of a Centurion, the Legion’s elite, the field commanders of its army. There were a few Centurions that Kaleb knew of. And only one that would be interested in Negotium business. Bloody hell, its Centurion Borgia Manus, the head of the Custodi.

Custodi Borgia pointed a thumb to the hooded Explorator that stood next to him. “If Anthony here is correct, then you have been attacked by fiends. You also have managed to apprehend one of the assailants? Brief me on what happened, then show me to this spuma.

Kaleb tapped his right fist over the left side of his chest and bowed, greeting the Custodi in the Legion tradition. “Custodi Borgia, it is an honor to have you here. Please, this way.”

He led the Custodi behind the counter and gestured to the person laying bound and gagged on the floor. “There he is, Custodi. He attacked a Negotium runner in the alley behind my store. I disabled this one, and killed his partner. We left his partner’s body out back in the alley.”

“He isn’t dressed in the typical Fiend fashion, but he certainly acts like one. I’m betting he is probably not a true Fiend at all, just an addict that is as drugged out as much as a real one”, Kaleb continued, drawing attention to the Fiend’s filthy jumpsuit and lack of a Brahmin skull-topped helmet.

Kaleb picked up a bloody knife that was on the counter and presented it to Borgia, taking care to not point it directly at him. “We managed to retrieve one of the weapons they used in the attack. We also sent the runner to the nearest doctor, but we haven’t heard anything.”

Laying the knife back down on the counter, Kaleb addressed the Centurion. “So, Custodi, what do we do with this one?”

Borgia Manus

The man examined Borgia as he stepped further into the store.

“Custodi Borgia, it is an honor to have you here. Please, this way," Kaleb said respectfully before giving the Legion greeting of placing one arm across the chest and bowing. He then made his way down the room to his counter. Borgia followed, and upon reaching the counter saw what the man spoke of, a dirty excuse of a human, laying tied and gagged on the floor.

“There he is, Custodi. He attacked a Negotium runner in the alley behind my store. I disabled this one, and killed his partner. We left his partner’s body out back in the alley. He isn’t dressed in the typical Fiend fashion, but he certainly acts like one. I’m betting he is probably not a true Fiend at all, just an addict that is as drugged out as much as a real one.”

"No difference," Borgia muttered, leaning down to take a closer look at the cretin.

“We managed to retrieve one of the weapons they used in the attack. We also sent the runner to the nearest doctor, but we haven’t heard anything.” Borgia straightened up and turned to the man, who was holding a miserably blunt and bloody knife.

"No, definitely no fiend. As disgusting and stupid as one of them. My guess is these foramina asinus were in the Strip when the mighty Caesar marched proudly in." Borgia shook his head. "This will not do good for the current level of respect and leniency the Legion currently shows the citizens of pre-petita Rome."

“So, Custodi, what do we do with this one?” Kaleb Burke asked.

"This man is a disgrace. There will be no mercy. He will be strung next to the gates of Rome for all to see. His death will hopefully be slow and painful, and send quite a clear message."

Borgia looked around until he saw the Explorator. "Anthony, send word that there is a collection to be made in the Shop in Negotium's stretch of Rome. Also, tell to set up the arrangements for this man's punishment," Borgia explained, spitting on the barely concious chem addict.

"It will be done, Borgia," Anthony assured before running out into the day.

"Mr Burke, I rarely apologise, but in this instance I have no choice. The Custodi should have had these men slaughtered once we entered Rome. I acquire a doctor and have them sent immediately, your runner may have difficulty. Good day." Borgia saluted the man and walked from the store.

There were two Custodi standing outside the Negotium's base of operations. Borgia beckoned one of them over.

"Go to the clinic," Borgia ordered, pointing to the once Vault 21, "and demand a demand a medic leave go to the Shop behind me, on my orders."

"Right away, Centurion," the young Legionary replied before making his way towards the clinic with haste.
