Arcade deciding to pick a fight as we stand in the middle of Legion Territory.

It’s a Saturday and I’ve got Legion headcanons

Legionaries tend to be very young. They’re inducted as soldiers at ten and cleared for combat around fifteen, depending on supply and demand at the time.

If you survive into your mid-twenties as a Legion soldier, you’re pretty much guaranteed at least a rank of decanus.

Legionaries are called by a Latin number one through eight once they’re put into their contuberniums (contubernii? contubernia?). They can earn names by distinguishing themselves in some way. This fosters the mindset that they have no existence or identity apart from their utility to the Legion.

Many legionaries have damaged outer ears where their tribal earrings were forcibly removed from them. This is why NCR soldiers ask for legion ears as bounty: if someone shows up with a bagful of severed ears (normal and not at all horribly desensitized thing to do), you can verify where they’re from by seeing how many are scarred.

Marriage in the Legion, unsurprisingly, has little to do with love. It’s more of a status symbol for officers. “Wife” and “slave” are legally almost indistinguishable, but being a housewife is almost always preferable to being a private slave, and being a private slave is worlds better than being a public laborer.

Since men and women are separated by status, romantic love usually only happens within the ranks or between slaves. However, it’s not unheard of for married couples to develop mutual respect and closeness. (I think Lucius loves his wife, personally.)

There are male slaves in the Legion, but they usually work as farmers instead of living in cities. Women who can’t have children (or whose genes the Legion doesn’t like for whatever reason) are the same.

The Legion’s ruling structure is divided into the Legion proper (led by the legate, performs basic functions including war), the Praetorian guard (led by whatever Lucius’s title is, responsible for internal order, punishment for crimes, security for important people, and doing whatever Caesar tells them to do), the Frumentarii (led by whatever Vulpes’s title is, kind of nebulous responsibilities to fit the occasion, “diplomacy,” intelligence, also oversees the couriers), and the Temple (led by high priestess, responsible for religious practices and the raising of children).

Smash Or Pass: Lucius, Alerio, Dead Sea

Ooh, triple feature!

Lucius: Pass. Very particular about facial hair. This is not it.

Alerio: Pass. How dare you try and replace Vulpes. The Mark should be left in a shitty little cardboard box with a post-it note on it.

Dead Sea: Smash. I will not explain.

"Vulpes can't grow a beard what a loser" its been echoing in my head and the dark voices in my head won... I'm sorry but are we going to face this fact or not THIS CHILD CAN'T GROW A BEARD mostly genetic/ but I'm guessing for his work as a spy too.

'Successful' meaning can keep the Legion from falling apart and can at least maintain it if not expand it. Disregard who's actually next in line to take over once Caesar dies.
