esseress:I’m on a Feels Trip to the Legion againI like underdog storiesImma just..dump my Vulpes HC from my discord here:I’m having my Vulpes as 100% having drunk the Son of Mars kool-aidLanius is loyal to Caesar and his goals but apathetic to the actual Legion and its philosophyVulpes is loyal to Caesar and truly believes in the Legion“civilization reborn”, in his own words.His loyalty to Caesar is to the point of love (phillia, not eros)As with the Ancient Greek philosophers, Vulpes views romantic love as a loss of control, madness. He sees his devotion to Caesar as the purest form of love. Something nearing spiritual enlightenment. He’s a fanatic.He has contempt for the profligates for many reasons, and among these is his view that none of them have ever felt real love for something greater than themselvesHe dirties his own hands with methods that go against the Legion’s ideals so that Caesar doesn’t have to, so that the Legion can remain “pure”he almost revels in being a martyr, in letting his humanity and morals be a “necessary sacrifice”Lanius sees honour in martial prowess, war, a worthy foeVulpes sees it in service, self-sacrifice, and obedienceHe lives in meditative shame of his own “impurities” and this only further fuels his desire to lay down everything to the benefit of his LordVulpes sees Caesar as a man of “towering intellect”, he worships him, literally and figuratively. When Caesar saved him from the cross, recognized his potential, it cemented this for him.I know some people like to make him go full Starscream but I rather like the idea of him being utterly devotedJust so it can all come tumbling down later >:3cetc etc -- source link
