જ⁀➴ PERSONAL

APPEARANCE: 183cm tall, underweight, gaunt features, prominent Roman nose, greying hair that's cropped, brown eyes, shaved facial hair, pronounced frown lines. Flaminius is tall and slender, with a bony body and high cheekbones, his features are sharp, with long fingers and clean shaven body hair. He dresses in rich materials, preferring long togas, and likes to wear rings to show status. Often wears too much perfume and body oil, making his scent overpowering.

PERSONALITY: Egocentric, cruel, self important, sadistic, misanthropic, obsessive, unsettling. Flaminius is a man who thrives on power imbalances, he's demeaning, misogynistic and enjoys causing harm to others. He's very preoccupied with appearances as a way to overcompensate, he likes to think he's better than everyone, that he's more pure and righteous, but is simply a sexual deviant who takes his bitterness out on others. He's controlling, provocative and has a great sense of self importance.

DEMEANOUR: Flaminius is an enigma to most people. He says all the right things, he's polite and generally well respected, but something about him is always off. He stares too long, makes unsettling comments, laughs when he sees somebody upset. He does his best to hide his sadistic nature when it matters, that being with other patricians, but in private he's a lot more different. He's vindictive, irascible and creepy. He tends to fixate on people he finds attractive and deliberately make them uncomfortable to get a reaction, making comments that are subtle enough yet clearly meant sexually. He makes people feel scrutinized, talks formally yet with an undercurrent of superiority, often preaches about virtue and Roman standards. He tends to stand too close when talking, making people feel crowded.

BACKGROUND: Growing up in the patrician house of Nobilior, Flaminius was an only child. From childhood he was someone who demanded attention, which he always got from his parents, who spoiled him. He was never conventionally attractive, as a teenager and young adult he was often rejected by those he pursued romantically, which left him feeling bitter and with a sense of entitlement. Flaminius began to take out this frustration on sex workers, male and female, but with the women he was always harsher. It was while he was beating one that, at 24, he overstepped and ended up choking her to death. He surprisingly didn't feel guilty, but a rush of adrenaline and sexual gratification. This pattern continued, at first on a lower scale, but in recent years he has picked it up. Believing that Rome has fallen from grace, he has begun to turn the murders into statements, leaving the bodies of sex workers in public places and desecrated as a way to punish society for its moral decay.
