===Complications===
'''Motivation:''' Maximus is driven by pride and ambition. He will rule. The invaders are just one more obstacle. 
'''Disability:''' Human Mind in an Animal Body - The human world is not built for a gorilla body, and human technology is not made for gorilla hands. Moreover, a gorilla throat is not made for human speech, leaving Maximus mute when he cannot use his mental powers. 
'''Quirk:''' Ancient Mind in the Modern World - Maximus has adjusted to modern technology, tactics and politics, but he struggles to understand modern egalitarianism and aversion to violence. He has an unbending sense of personal dignity and honor. He is very much a believer in omens.

===Background===
Appius Maximus Maximillius stumbled, feverish and starving, as great apes regarded him placidly. His legion had acclaimed him emperor, but they never reached Rome. The survivors of the battle fled south, through Syria and Egypt to the unknown lands beyond Nubia, their numbers ever dwindling until Maximus alone remained, finally falling to the ground in a cave. He crawled toward a glitter of green, a green gem. He touched it, and the green swelled to fill his eyes, his mind.

Appius Maximus Maximillius opened his eyes. The gem was in his hand. But it was not his hand. He dropped it and put a hand to a face that was not his face, a furred body that was not his body, as the gem fell to the cave floor next to something that might have been ancient rust mixed with the dust of bones.

Appius Maximus Maximillius looked at his new legion, their arms unfamiliar but a legion nonetheless, as they proclaimed him emperor. The gem now mounted on his baton - whatever it was, wherever it came from - gave him power, the power to read minds, lash them, shape them. The power to force the new Pax Romana this new, mad world he found himself in so badly needed.

Appius Maximus Maximillius stared at the television as the picture abruptly cut out, replaced by the mindless panicked babbling of the studio talking heads. His hand went to his baton, the gem on it long replaced with colored glass, the real article now on a short, study chain around his neck. That capering clown Jackdaw had taught him that. He had also given him the ridiculous name the plebeians called him now. He would not be missed. There had been worthier foes; Columbia, for example, who had smashed his latest plan and dispersed his latest legion. She, too, appeared to be dead. He granted her a moment of respect in his head as he went into motion. He tamped down a flash of anger. These aliens – he stepped clear of the window as a shockwave shattered it, yes, the Air Force base, as he expected – these aliens were conquering what should be, would be, the new Roman Empire. But he knew well that conquest is one thing and rule another. And that empires fall.

== Appearance ==
A green-skinned Orion man with aquamarine eyes and black hair he tends to wear long and carefully unkempt. Fit and about average height for an Orion. Dresses practically in the field and flashily out of it.

==Relationship==
His parents are alive and well and working as engineers for a trading concern on Orion. He checks in on them periodically to make sure his mother's gambling problem that put the family in debt to the Syndicate in the first place hasn't relapsed. (His own relationship to risk remains cheerfully unexamined.) He also has a casual, off-again on-again relationship with the fixer who puts him in touch with legitimate businesswomen seeking to become patrons of the historical sciences.

== Background ==
Tolor was born on the Orion homeworld to parents in debt to a pirate clan and working it off in a clan shipyard. The starships were interesting enough, but Tolor was fascinated by the strange artifacts in the clan trophy room. Who made these? Why? Sadly, the clan were pirates, not curators, so he had to learn how to puzzle it out for himself. 
After graduation there was still the matter of his family's debt, but one particularly interesting bit of ancient technology proved enough to clear that up. Of course, after that he kept going back to the Syndicate and the clans; you go where the grant money is, and he did his best to act the part of a rougish treasure hunter. 
In fact, the "treasure" was less interesting to him than who had made it and what they were like, and he found ways to give his sponsors what they wanted while still gathering every possible bit of publishable data from the site. If some of his most interesting discoveries wound up in vaults, he knew firsthand that no vault lasts forever. 
He could solve his funding problems by joining, say, a Federation institution - he had worked with the Daystrom Institute once or twice - but he found them too risk-adverse. It wasn't like he had gotten into armed conflict with locals more than once. 
And the truth is, down below the scholarly passions, there is still the kid who watched pirates and gangsters strut around like they owned the galaxy. The truth is, he likes coming off a little bit roguish.

For those with the credits, robot monks are available to work off their karma and cleanse their sins with a million prayers a second and subjective eons of meditation. But as he contemplated the latest transgression update from his designated sinner, IPMAN concluded more active measures were needed. He downloaded the virtual dojo and spent years mastering the ancient art of Cyber-Do, the Way of the Chrome Fist, which allows machines to transcend the limits of their hardware through enlightened cognition. Then he set out to balance the scales.

Of course, after that he kept going back to the Syndicate and the clans; you go where the grant money is, and he did his best to act the part of a rougish treasure hunter. 
In fact, the "treasure" was less interesting to him than who had made it and what they were like, and he found ways to give his sponsors what they wanted while still gathering every possible bit of publishable data from the site. If some of his most interesting discoveries wound up in vaults, he knew firsthand that no vault lasts forever. 
He could solve his funding problems by joining, say, a Federation institution - he had worked with the Daystrom Institute once or twice - but he found them too risk-adverse. It wasn't like he had gotten into armed conflict with locals more than once. 
And the truth is, down below the scholarly passions, there is still the kid who watched pirates and gangsters strut around like they owned the galaxy. The truth is, he likes coming off a little bit roguish.

===Defense===
Dodge 3

Toughness 10 (15 with Armor) 
Fortitude 10 
Will 10

===Complications===
'''Motivation:''' Maximus is driven by pride and ambition. He will rule. The invaders are just one more obstacle. 
'''Disability''' Human Mind in an Animal Body - The human world is not built for a gorilla body, and human technology is not made for gorilla hands. Moreover, a gorilla throat is not made for human speech, leaving Maximus mute when he cannot use his mental powers.
'''Quirk''' Ancient Mind in the Modern World: Maximus has adjusted to modern technology, tactics and politics, but he struggles to understand modern egalitarianism and aversion to violence. He has an unbending sense of personal dignity and honor. He is very much a believer in omens.

===Background===
Appius Maximus Maximillius stumbled, feverish and starving, as great apes regarded him placidly. His legion had acclaimed him emperor, but they never reached Rome. The survivors of the battle fled south, through Syria and Egypt to the unknown lands beyond Nubia, their numbers ever dwindling until Maximus alone remained, finally falling to the ground in a cave. He crawled toward a glitter of green, a green gem. He touched it, and the green swelled to fill his eyes, his mind.

Appius Maximus Maximillius opened his eyes. The gem was in his hand. But it was not his hand. He dropped it and put a hand to a face that was not his face, a furred body that was not his body, as the gem fell to the cave floor next to something that might have been ancient rust mixed with the dust of bones.

Appius Maximus Maximillius looked at his new legion, their arms unfamiliar but a legion nonetheless, as they proclaimed him emperor. The gem now mounted on his baton - whatever it was, wherever it came from - gave him power, the power to read minds, lash them, shape them. The power to force the new Pax Romana this new, mad world he found himself in so badly needed.

Appius Maximus Maximillius stared at the television as the picture abruptly cut out, replaced by the mindless panicked babbling of the studio talking heads. His hand went to his baton, the gem on it long replaced with colored glass, the real article now on a short, study chain around his neck. That capering clown Jackdaw had taught him that. He had also given him the ridiculous name the plebeians called him now. He would not be missed. There had been worthier foes; Columbia, for example, who had smashed his latest plan and dispersed his latest legion. She, too, appeared to be dead. He granted her a moment of respect in his head as he went into motion. He tamped down a flash of anger. These aliens – he stepped clear of the window as a shockwave shattered it, yes, the Air Force base, as he expected – these aliens were conquering what should be, would be, the new Roman Empire. But he knew well that conquest is one thing and rule another. And that empires fall.

==Character Backstory==
Jalp Roughfang was a born entertainer. He was unfortunately also born to a particularly hardscrabble kobold clan with little time for frivolity and no use for his talents, and his clanmates were more than happy when he joined a passing circus. Finding work as a musician, he threw himself into the role, trying to make a mark for himself by trying out and inventing new acts with perhaps more enthusiasm than brains. When he regained consciousness in the aftermath of one such attempt, he said he had received a vision from the dragon gods, who had commanded him to go forth and perform bold deeds in the manner of the heroes of old. The fact he has already inspired others to follow him on the path of heroism fills him with confidence.
