--- format: rst title: Tullius categories: PC Magus --- Concept ------- Not very tall but really robust guy. Thanks to his toughness, he resisted several times the collateral effects of his spells. Good hearted and generous, he can be extremely delicate with his beloved insects. He prefers to hone his skill through practice than study, that's why he always wants to test his spell casting skills. Unfortunately he likes casting magics a bit too much. He embraces the Tytalus paradigm of an ever changing world: "We need to keep changing, as beetles and butterflies do, because 'Omnia commutat natura et vertere cogit.' ('the nature transforms everything and makes everything change')" Probably his world's vision would be called heretic (Need more history accuracy but to follow the followers of one who said that even the soul is made of atoms seems heretic enough to me) .. Lucrezio: In effetti il tempo cambia totalmente il mondo; in tutte le cose a uno stato deve succedere un altro stato, e nulla rimane simile a se stesso: tutto si trasforma, la natura modifica tutto e costringe tutto a cambiare. Mutat enim mundi naturam totius aetas, Ex alioque alius status excipere omnia debet, Nec manet ulla sui similis res: omnia migrant, Omnia commutat natura et vertere cogit. ..

His parent Lucianus trained Tullius at the covenant called Apraevi (from *apri saevi* ferocious/violent/wild/ boars) and situated not too far from Monselice but at a sufficient distance from common humans. The strategic position near Venice guarantees the availability of any mundane material the covenant magi would need, but the magi also need to keep an eye on the near cities and politics because they would be easily outnumbered in a conflict. Tullius is fed up of with politics and mundane influence because he just wants to concentrare on his studies and grow up his insects. He's planning to leave soon with Claudio, an insect caretaker specialized with bees, and maybe few other grogs. Tullius surely needs at least a donkey and a cart to carry all the terrariums, alveria (arnie, artificial bee hives), and some precious books (Mostly MuTe or ReTe?).
