Yes, just choose someone with an ancient Egyptian/Iudean/Greek name, and it will be fine.

Writing a post now.

Well, that's easy for you, because you are playing as a Roman faction....

Anyway, finished my post.

I sent this to lunas but I want to see if somone here can give me some help.

But I had a few questions regarding rules and the playable area that I couldn't find included in the OP.
- What is the size of the playable area?
- Is my faction limited to just the Romans?
I would like to, if possible set up a group in current age Poland or Latvia. I know the area well personally and it might be cool to play as "Barbarians".
If not then that is okay, I am a history major and Rome is one of my best areas.
And this may seem strange for me to ask this but would I be able to make a female General or Legate. I understand how terribly unorthodox that may be, but I just want an Idea for what my limits in this RP will be.

Limits are quite simple; everyone mentioned in the OP. Anything not mentioned isn't playable.

Octavianus left Pannonia Superior when Julius was halfway through his Mediterranean Sea voyage. I'm assuming that Lepidus hasn't left Massillia yet and if the new guy is apping for Lepidus I'll wait for him to get accepted and then I can interact with an actual player.

People who aren't being played (or go inactive, which I'm defining as no posts here or ICly for 3 days) fall under the control of their overlord.

Posted, suck it Caesar and Pompey

Brief overview of faction/nation's recent history: Antony's career in service to Caesar began with the Gallic Wars when his association with Publius Clodius Pulcher helped him open doors to greater success than otherwise would've been possible. Clodius secured Antony a position on Caesar's military staff in 54 BC, joining his conquest of Gaul. Serving under Caesar, Antony demonstrated excellent military leadership. During this time he and Caesar became good friends and his loyalty to the man was solidified. Caesar's influence secured greater political advancement for Antony. After a year of service in Gaul, Caesar dispatched Antony to Rome to formally begin his political career, receiving election as Quaestor for 52 BC as a member of the Populares faction. Assigned to assist Caesar, Antony returned to Gaul and commanded Caesar's cavalry during his victory at the Battle of Alesia against the Gallic High King Vercingetorix. After a year in office he was promoted by Caesar to Legate and given command of two legions numbering 7,500 men. After Crassus's victory in the East, Antony knew nothing but trouble could come out of the Triumvirate's three pointed balance being tipped. Crassus's sons negotiated a deal with Caesar opening up the east to Antony, whom's legions where in turn used to assist them. He took charge over the provinces of Asia Cilicia, Bythina and Pontus and has since led them well, his legion swelling in size to a total of 10,000 Legionaires with an additional 5,000 Greek Auxiliary Cavalry, he has become well loved in his provinces for instilling a unifying message to Hellenic locals and handling any minor conflicts under his control with a firm but reasonable response.

Ok great! I'll wait for you to make the arrival post.

Al, for reference, there's the minor issue that Antony starts in Asia Minor, so to march to Massalia would require you to pass through Brutus' land, which he has no intention of letting you do.

woooo, Cassius is here

Minor? Really? Geez. Looks like Octavianus will be conquering Hispania mostly on his own.
