On Elysium

Since no one has asked me any questions yet, I shall describe my life until this very point.

My family has legion roots, making me the richest and by far most deserving for the spot of praetor, unlike that idiot graecus Jackson. I entered this legion at age 11, with letters of recommendation and the great gift of prophecy, better than all those wanna-be augurs. A couple of years later, at the age of manhood, 18, a graecus comes on to our soil. Why it was decreed he may corrupt our legions still befuddles me. After his quest and apparent saving the world, it was I who decreed that we must declare war on the filthy Greeks! As reward for my knowledge-based speculation, I was killed by my own!

When I went to the Underworld, they decreed that I should receive punishment! But, being the beautiful augur that I am, they me in Elysium, as beauty beats all. The only problem is the Greek neighbors! Filthy, filthy graecus people!

Octavian's "Elysium" is punishment, because of the neighbors. I'm better at answering questions.
