Octavius would later become the first Roman emperor. I'm sure you can find some information on him.
The name's James. James Usari. Well, my name is not actually James Usari, so don't bother actually looking it up, but it'll do for now.

It said recent information, so I put what was recent to the year in which the RP starts. I didn't think putting stuff about his reign would be appropriate or relevant to what is asked.

A) You didn't complete the app (three section's missed)
B) Pompey is not Caesar's late enemy, he is still alive
C) Who the hell is "she"?
D) Caesar has never fought in Hispania
E) You won't be able to get info from wikipedia as this is alt-history. In this, Octavian would have been involved in a number of events such as the conquest of Pannonia and possibly the war in Egypt so I suggest you write about those. Read the history in the OP and infer what Octavian was doing.

D) Caesar has never fought in Hispania

Caesar did fight in Hispainia(irl that's where he defeated the last of the opposition to him during the Civil War) just not in this timeline.

Ok thanks. All of this confusion could've been avoided if it said Alt Hidtory in the title or something or somewhere near the app gave directions saying that you should infer off of the OP's information and then write the history of it.

Nation/Faction Name: Octavius
Leader: Gaius Julis Caesar Octavianus
Leader Age: 21
Leader Personality/Appearance: Octavian was a remarkably handsome 5' 7" tall man who had yellow hair and possessed an elegant, graceful gait, but often kept his hair messy. He was never physically strong, but has a cautious and wise personality to make up for it.
Other Characters in your faction and relevant details on them:
Brief overview of faction/nation's recent history:
Octavian first took Pannonia Superior as his first conquest gaining him great recognition among the Roman Empire. This was however not taken positively by the Senate. They saw a second Caesar rising.

By his conquest of Dalmatia, Octavian had learned a lot about governance and war although he'd already gone to study the art of war. This second conquest is what got his recognition among Caesar. He looked upon Octavian with grace and knew he was going to be a worth while heir.

The third province Octavian conquered was Pannonia Inferior. His hardest conquest so far. He fought much resistance by the Macedonians in the region and nearly didn't make it. This province is what made Octavian known amongst the Senate as a potential enemy.
RP example: I host Reign of Heirs.

Was actually sure how to describe each conquest since I know nothing about the Hellenic region. I did however add effects-ish about what happened when he conquered these regions.

Mark Antony is his own subordinate faction so I don't know if you can "claim" him so to speak but I ain't OP/CO-OP so maybe it is nothing

I didn't mean to claim him. It just said in the wiki that Marc became allies with Oc, so that's how I wrote it. Didn't mean to imply that Im claiming two characters.

Antony allied with Octavian in the second triumvirate, which is a completely different thing from what's happening here. Neither Antony or Lepidus should be under 'other characters', as they fall under control of Caesar's player unless someone directly apps for them. History seems a tiny bit lacking, but it's acceptable. Just remove Lepidus/Antony from there and add in relevant characters (augurs, advisors and the like, they don't have to be actual historical figures) if you want any.

Yes, I'm referring to his baldness. The name 'Caesar' (his cognomen) could be derived from the Latin a caesaries, meaning 'because of the hair'. It was a cruel joke, because Caesar was indeed balding, and very conscious about it. It was one of the reasons he adopted the laurel wreath as headgear, as it masked his baldness quite a bit. But because the name 'Caesar' is probably a reference to his lack of hair, to hear he has 'bald ambitions' strikes me as incredibly funny.

More so, at least, than saying he has 'bold ambitions', which would be more grammatically correct.

According to Caesar, his name comes from the "Moorish" word for the elephant: "Caesai". The idea of the name coming from his later baldness was used by political opponents to poke fun at him.
