🗡 ~ emperor geta

[Information]

Geta serves a co-emperor of Rome alongside his twin brother, Caracalla. He and his brother Caracalla are both damaged goods from birth. The two of the threaten Lucilla's well-being as a means of controlling General Marcus Acacius. Their leadership is a harbinger of the end of Roman dominance. Some 16 years following the deaths of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, Geta is one of the twin Emperors of Rome, having seized power along with his brother Caracalla. The two are bloodthirsty and vicious, ruthlessly orchestrating campaigns to expand Rome's territory, and Marcus Aurelius and Maximus Decimus Meridius's vision of a Rome for the people has not been realized. In honor of Marcus Acacius's latest conquest, the African coastal village of Numidia, Caracalla and Geta host games in the Colosseum. They release savage monkeys to savage the conquered people who have been brought over from Numidia, but their attention is attracted by one "Hanno," who manages to not only survive the monkeys, but fight back against them. With their permission, the warlord and Gladiator-master Macrinus claims Hanno as a Gladiator, none of them knowing that Hanno is actually Lucius Verus, secretly the Prince of Rome, sent away for his own safety by the Empress Lucilla. In the aftermath of this first match, Caracalla and Geta hold a party to celebrate the fall of Numidia. There, they attempt to speak with Lucius, only for him to remain entirely silent. Macrinus claims that he knows nothing of their native tongue, only for Lucius to then unexpectedly speak up and recite poetry by Virgil at him. Later, when witnessing him fighting again, they recite the poem, causing Lucilla to recognize Lucius as her son, as he saw the poem in question engraved on the wall of their home.

Personality

Geta is a sadistic, egotistical ruler who rules Rome and all of the Colosseum's entertainment. Just like Caracalla, he gets amused easily by people fighting each other, as he enjoys watching discord unfold among combatants in the Colosseum. His corrupt rule impacted the amount of bloodshed on the floors of the arena, showing his intense liking for war. Geta, however, is the somewhat saner of the two, recognizing the need for caution. Ultimately, however, it is his failure to recognize his own brother's failings and the corrupt nature of Macrinus that results in his undoing. Similar to his brother, Geta is erratic and gripped with insanity, no doubt cast by the sheltered life they had lived through. He is amused by violence and bloodshed, while relishing in the idea that consequences will not come to his actions. He is violent when questioned, and often acts with insanity and madness, instead of logic.

Appearance

Emperor Geta is the taller of the two twins, but shares the same sickly pale skin as his younger brother. They both have stark red hair, seemingly the only ones in Rome to have such a hair color. Geta has dark eyes, surrounded by dark shadows from lack of sleep and insanity, and often wears a headpiece made from golden leaves. He wears oversized, grandiose, traditional Roman clothes of his status as the emperor, as well as often has his sleeves over his hands. He wears alot of gold jewelry, and stands at 5'10".
