    Yes - If you would like to discuss this further feel free to PM me...

    Regarding the name, it is no secret. Basically when I joined the forum I wanted a proper Roman name, with the three nomina, and since I am awful at decision-making I fell back on my favourite character in Colleen McCollough's series of books. As an excuse, this was before I started my Ancient History major - I was aware that I was misinformed. However, his ploy of demanding that either both Caesar and Pompeius, or neither, be stripped of their commands endeared him to me. Moreover, who better to represent the complex nature of Late Republican politics than Curio?
    Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
    We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.



    Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
    perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
    quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
    est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
    Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem.     - Vergil

    it is also the capital of Doom! (I'm sure one guy knows who I refer to)

    it is also the land of Tintin, Alix, and a variety of other cartoons and comics from my childhood. It is only natural it should also have ancient history as a good place of study.
    I was once alive, but then a girl came and took out my ticker.

    tired of ridiculous trouble with walking animations? then you need my brand newmotion capture for the common man!
