Eugen looked at Art and nodded faintly. The son of Mars was in many ways his closest friend and his oldest rival; his counterpart in the underbelly of their semi-divine society. Sharing many similarities and insensitivities, the two had grown up together in the Upper Echelon of New Rome and had eventually ventured out to make names for themselves, albeit in two altogether different lanes. This, however, did not stop the occasional collaborative project or periodic favour - bitter as asking the other for help always was - but theirs was far from a tell-me-your-problems sort of deal. The roots of their alliance ran deep, but was also marked by a competitiveness that was every bit as unhealthy as motivating.
Instantly straightening his posture, Eugen flashed a faint smile that did not stick. "Oh my," he said emphatically, clutching his chest in a not-so-convincing way of responding to Art's jestful question. "Arthur Drake, as I live and breathe."
Danner walked over and elected to humour the boastful Mars-born a bit. Whatever had weighed heavy on the Senator was now diminished in its proportions, partly because Drake had a way of demanding people's whole attention, but also because Eugen wasn't about to let feelings leave exploitable openings. With all his bases covered once more, the feeling of having regained control was extremely satisfying. Thanks were in order and the conversation hadn't even begun, but genuine and outspoken thankfulness wasn't in any of their repertoires.
Having observed Devereux's previous exchange, and having an idea of what he was about, Eugen soon deducted that the reason for Arthur's early rise had been a lucrative one. "With all that gold in your pocket, one might mistake you for a son of Mercury," Danner said, gesturing toward his friend's expensive jacket.

Hey!
I got this character called Eugen that I think could definitely rub Clio the wrong way. He's a Senator, way-with-words guy from a wealthy family in New Rome. Definitely not the underdog, in other words. Actually, reading and comparing both bios I could find a lot of potential for clashing. All from envy to Clio thinking Eugen to be a stuck-up, cold bastard to Eugen actually doing something that'd make her be out for revenge. I'd be down to explore that in a thread, if you're up for it.
Oh, and welcome to the site!

 BY THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING
Participants: Eugen Danner, Arthur Drake_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The morning flooded over the California horizon. The Fields of Mars gleamed with California sunlight and the grass glimmered with dew that reflected it. In the early hours of the morning, before the camp awoke for real, the serenity of the scene gave no impression of the rough and often bloody contests that was going to be held there in but a few hours. The Legion and its legionnaires cherished sleep; a few yet found their feet braving the morning fatigue, guided by errands, restlessness or morning routines. Some of these early birds could be seen jogging across the field, no doubt basking in the absence of people to get in the way. Eugen, however, was only there for a short walk. With his hands in the pockets of his navy-coloured jacket and with an in-ears cable sticking out from his cotton pants, Danner stepped foot into the fields not really knowing what or who to expect. This morning, his concerns lay elsewhere. What they were, only he knew. Could be the uncertainties of a Senator not sure on what path to tread. A son unsure of his mother's love. A man worried about his lack of sleep of late. What was certain was: his facial features practically emanated the doubts he felt, put them on display for every and any observing eye to see. He suddenly came to a gentle stop, stuffing the headphones in his pocket while digging into the turf with his polished leather shoe. The music sounded like shrieking alarms. |

Eugen Danner, The Orator The Orator Eugen is a well-mannered young man, proud and trusty soldier of the Legion as well as a newly elected Senator of New Rome, there representing the interests of his godly father. While noticeably proud of this feat, he is careful not to flaunt it. There always seems to be a quote from the ancient orators that Eugen can seem to incorporate into his speeches or conversational anecdotes. In this particular situation, he would probably mention Cicero’s old saying: “The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.”. The Demi-god Eugen has mixed feelings about being the son of a demi-god; thoughts and reflections that he not often speaks of, but is betrayed through his insisted belief that people should be judged based solely on their merit and their character. An aspect of it, surely, is Mercury himself. The master of deals and trade himself had given him his son an affinity for finding and determining value. As a result of this, a gloomy thought has festered in his mind: that he himself is nothing but the product of such a dealing; an arrangement between a mother who wanted a strong and capable son embedded into the societal functions of New Rome in order to elevate her family name, and a god that had demanded something in return for his seed. He did not begrudge his father this, but he feared that his mother kept the scope of Mercury's demand from him. Payment is due, and if it was something he didn’t like, it was to be kept in the dark. The Man These inner thoughts, while gloomy, had little affect to day-to-day dealings. Closing in on his sixth year in the Camp, young Danner - despite his quaint and polished exterior - is in no way afraid to get his hands dirty. His mother was a descendant of Mars, making him an attentive sparring partner as well as a formidable opponent. He also enjoys activity and social gatherings. Even small pranks and trickeries of similar magnitude is also fair game; after all, he is his father’s son. While the very nature of his oratory work necessitates being very vocal in his opinion, Eugen can say, surer than most of this fact, that there is always a time and place for airing it. Indeed, most would find the son of Mercury to be a pleasant conversationalist. He appears curious - although always with a hint of his characteristic slyness - and for the most part leaving his insensitive and to-the-point answers and questions for the Senate, or other occasions of a more formal nature. |
