Legion XIII

About Me

-Ex equao, ex animo, ex lege, ex Deo.- (From the equal, from the heart, from the law, from the gods)Strength and HonorI like to read and watch historical fiction and non-fiction. I am constantly taking in concepts and teachings from all cultures (ancient and modern) to create the best life I can. A ferocious lover of life, respectful of death, possessing the courage and loyalty of a warrior, but the morality of a pirate. A man of huge appetites and wild passions. Impulsive, unreflective, optimistic, conceited, generous, and brutal. The hard essence of a professional Roman soldier. Honourable and severe, I am unforgiving and pitiless when crossed. A dour and pragmatic man, with a tendency towards self-laceration."If you find yourself in a green field, lying on your back, with the sun in your face. BE NOT TROUBLED!, for you are in Elysium! And you are already dead! - Maximus Decimus Meridius- Gladiator
