                      Since I lost my leg, humility has struck me. I live my life to make others' lives easier, and I do anything I can for those I care for. Even if it hurts me in the end, so long as they're near me, I don't want them to know pain. I know how impossible it is to please everyone and protect them all (especially because I can't even walk properly), but I can certainly die saying I tried my best.

Target's Interior DesignXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX Who I am ◂◂
Although fun-loving as always, I have undergone a change in the past few years. I was a ballroom dancer, and I easily become bitter every time my leg pulses in pain, the pulse in-tune with my heartbeat. I don't usually show just how angry I am to anyone, instead holding everything in until it all comes together in a bad mood one day.

I'm described as a nice guy, willing to help everyone out, but the truth is I'm not overly nice. Not anymore. I return fire when I'm messed with most times, and I'm liable to snap at anyone who isn't my friend if they come to bother me. My brother and father would tell you that I have a very short temper, but that's only because they know what buttons to press. I have a very small list of things that piss me off, so it's very hard to see my temper. I'm a very explosive person, though. I'm passionate and drawn to my emotions more easily than most Romans, which becomes a problem at times. Even if I'm not quick to anger, I can quickly rise to being too happy and do something to hurt myself, or even not think before saying something.

As of late, I've been finding myself depressed. I sit alone in Jupiter's temple, and I think on my life. It is...quite depressing, if I might be honest. Not for anything other than my accident, but looking at my life and the way I got here compared to the other legionnaires? I've had a completely boring life...I mean, come on, I didn't even have monsters chasing after me! I often feel useless anymore, unable to do more than tell a demigod that they can stay and then recite age-old prophecies that everyone knows already. What kind of life is that?

However, most of the time, if you encounter me, I'll be cordial and I try to stay smiling. After all, showing the pain you're in is never becoming of a professional, am I right?


Background CheckXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX A Hero's Tale ◂◂
My past is relatively normal, especially compared to most of the legionnaires. Are you sure you want to hear it? There's no big, amazing arrival at camp, nor a fight or anything like that...

I was born to my father, Julio Lionel Mendez, who was the previous augur, and my mother, Maria Natalie Galvan. My mother was a descendant of Vulcan, and my father was the son of Apollo with a powerful skill for prophecy. He became the augur while he was in the Legion and didn't resign until I grew old enough to take his place. By the time I was old enough, my little brother, Emilio, had been born.

When I started as the Augur, I wasn't sent to Lupa, and I was only really interviewed by the praetors. My father spent a few years, teaching me how to read the bones of our ancestor (we use voodoo as opposed to animal sacrifices; it's a lot more pleasant and a lot less cleanup) and letting me learn how to do everything. Finally, on my second year in the Legion, I took over as augur. My little brother learned how to heal and became important in that respect, especially when there were problems in the War Games.

Speaking of that, here's the only exciting part of my life. Well, the only part anyone will find interesting. Five years into my service, I was in the War Games, and one of my comrades shoved me because I had made some jest or another. It was lucky that the second and fourth cohort were paired up, because I found myself trampled by Hannibal, my leg crushed under his massive foot. Jasper Valentin from the fourth cohort pulled me out of the way so I wouldn't get trampled further, and dragged me to the medical sidelines, where I blacked out.

I only recently found out that it was my brother who had tried to heal me, but the leg was impossible to repair. I spent months in pain every time I moved; I slept so little because I felt pain when I moved at all. I still feel that intense pain to this day when I walk on it, but I don't scream or cry anymore. It torments those around me. My father took over for me until I had learned to walk with a cane and could manage to keep the pain inside, and fake a smile. I haven't been truly happy since the incident, more for the fact that I was a very good ballroom dancer, but there's no way I can dance on this. The one skill I had that truly made me happy was stolen from me, by a laughing demigod no less. A legacy of Mars, if I remember right.

I have been friends with Jasper since, and it wasn't long after the few months that I had been out that I met Cyra when she came to see if the gods approved her presence. She and I became friends rather quickly as well, and it wasn't long before I developed a secret crush on her, which I think Jasper knows about...



Additional Information About The TargetXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXThere's More Than I Let On... ◂◂
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I only cut my hair on my birthday. Otherwise it grows out all year.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX When I start to lose balance, I tap the shoulders of people around me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX My father and I don't make a blood sacrifice to read messages from the gods; we actually use voodoo.

Itaque prima illa commendatio, quae a natura nostri facta est nobis, incerta et obscura est, primusque appetitus ille animi tantum agit, ut salvi atque integri esse possimus. Cognitis autem rerum finibus, c** intellegitur, quid sit et bonorum extremum et malorum, inventa vitae via est conformatioque omnium officiorum, c** quaeritur, quo quodque referatur; Et qui ipsi sibi bellum indixissent, cruciari dies, noctes torqueri vellent, nec vero sese ipsi accusarent ob eam causam, quod se male suis rebus consuluisse dicerent. Quae etsi mihi nullo modo probantur, tamen Democritum laudatum a ceteris ab hoc, qui eum unum secutus esset, nollem vituperatum. Possumusne ergo in vita summum bonum dicere, c** id ne in cena quidem posse videamur? Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Tum ego: Non mehercule, inquam, soleo temere contra Stoicos, non quo illis admodum assentiar, sed pudore impedior; Quid interest, nisi quod ego res notas notis verbis appello, illi nomina nova quaerunt, quibus idem dicant? Itaque haec c** illis est dissensio, c** Peripateticis nulla sane. Laboribus hic praeteritis gaudet, tu iubes voluptatibus, et hic se ad ea revocat, e quibus nihil umquam rettulerit ad corpus, tu totus haeres in corpore.

                                        Si vero id etiam explanare velles apertiusque diceres nihil eum fecisse nisi voluptatis causa, quo modo eum tandem laturum fuisse existimas? Quae c** ita sint, effectum est nihil esse malum, quod turpe non sit. Quibus rebus intellegitur nec timiditatem ignaviamque vituperari nec fortitudinem patientiamque laudari suo nomine, sed illas reici, quia dolorem pariant, has optari, quia voluptatem. Sed tamen nonne reprehenderes, Epicure, luxuriosos ob eam ipsam causam, quod ita viverent, ut persequerentur cuiusque modi voluptates, c** esset praesertim, ut ais tu, summa voluptas nihil dolere? Piso, familiaris noster, et alia multa et hoc loco Stoicos irridebat: Quid enim? An, si id probas, fieri ita posse negas, ut ii, qui virtutis compotes sint, etiam malis quibusdam affecti beati sint? Utrum enim sit voluptas in iis rebus, quas primas secundum naturam esse diximus, necne sit ad id, quod agimus, nihil interest. At enim iam dicitis virtutem non posse constitui, si ea, quae extra virtutem sint, ad beate vivendum pertineant. Quicquid enim praeter id, quod honestum sit, expetendum esse dixeris in bonisque numeraveris, et honestum ipsum quasi virtutis lumen extinxeris et virtutem penitus everteris. Nam ista vestra: Si gravis, brevis;

                                        Quibus ex omnibus iudicari potest non modo non impediri rationem amicitiae, si summum bonum in voluptate ponatur, sed sine hoc institutionem omnino amicitiae non posse reperiri. Adsint etiam formosi pueri, qui ministrent, respondeat his vestis, argentum, Corinthium, locus ipse, aedificium-hos ergo asotos bene quidem vivere aut beate numquam dixerim. Cur igitur, c** de re conveniat, non malumus usitate loqui? Nam c** in Graeco sermone haec ipsa quondam rerum nomina novarum * * non videbantur, quae nunc consuetudo diuturna trivit; c** vero paulum processerunt, lusionibus vel laboriosis delectantur, ut ne verberibus quidem deterreri possint, eaque cupiditas agendi aliquid adolescit una c** aetatibus. Ut Phidias potest a primo instituere signum idque perficere, potest ab alio inchoatum accipere et absolvere, huic est sapientia similis; Sed ea mala virtuti magnitudine obruebantur. Quae c** dixissem, Habeo, inquit Torquatus, ad quos ista referam, et, quamquam aliquid ipse poteram, tamen invenire malo paratiores. Ergo et avarus erit, sed finite, et adulter, verum habebit modum, et luxuriosus eodem modo. De malis autem et bonis ab iis animalibus, quae nondum depravata sint, ait optime iudicari. In homine autem summa omnis animi est et in animo rationis, ex qua virtus est, quae rationis absolutio definitur, quam etiam atque etiam explicandam putant. Uti tum denique iudicetur beatusne fuerit, c** extremum vitae diem morte confecerit, quod ille unus e septem sapientibus non sapienter Croesum monuit; Alteri negant quicquam esse bonum, nisi quod honestum sit, alteri plurimum se et longe longeque plurimum tribuere honestati, sed tamen et in corpore et extra esse quaedam bona.

                                        Ita miser sit aliquando necesse est is, quem vos beatum semper vultis esse, nec vero id, dum omnia ad voluptatem doloremque referetis, efficietis umquam. Leonidas autem, rex Lacedaemoniorum, se in Thermopylis trecentosque eos, quos eduxerat Sparta, c** esset proposita aut fuga turpis aut gloriosa mors, opposuit hostibus. Sic est igitur locutus: Quantus ornatus in Peripateticorum disciplina sit satis est a me, ut brevissime potuit, paulo ante dictum. Nos quidem Virtutes sic natae sumus, ut tibi serviremus, aliud negotii nihil habemus. Ille igitur vidit, non modo quot fuissent adhuc philosophorum de summo bono, sed quot omnino esse possent sententiae. Sin autem reliqua appetenda sunt, cur, quod est ultimum rerum appetendarum, id non aut ex omnium earum aut ex plurimarum et maximarum appetitione concluditur? Quis est enim, in quo sit cupiditas, quin recte cupidus dici possit? Nam bonum ex quo appellatum sit, nescio, praepositum ex eo credo, quod praeponatur aliis. Quid enim necesse est, tamquam meretricem in matronarum coetum, sic voluptatem in virtutum concilium adducere? Itaque homo in primis ingenuus et gravis, dignus illa familiaritate Scipionis et Laelii, Panaetius, c** ad Q. Tum Piso: Quoniam igitur aliquid omnes, quid Lucius noster?

                                        Nam c** Academicis incerta luctatio est, qui nihil affirmant et quasi desperata cognitione certi id sequi volunt, quodcumque veri simile videatur. Cur igitur, inquam, res tam dissimiles eodem nomine appellas? Quare attendo te studiose et, quaecumque rebus iis, de quibus hic sermo est, nomina inponis, memoriae mando; Scientiam pollicentur, quam non erat mirum sapientiae cupido patria esse cariorem. Posuisti etiam dicere alios foedus quoddam inter se facere sapientis, ut, quem ad modum sint in se ipsos animati, eodem modo sint erga amicos; Sic, et quidem diligentius saepiusque ista loquemur inter nos agemusque communiter. Neque enim disputari sine reprehensione nec c** iracundia aut pertinacia recte disputari potest. Facit enim ille duo seiuncta ultima bonorum, quae ut essent vera, coniungi debuerunt; Neminem videbis ita laudatum, ut artifex callidus comparandarum voluptatum diceretur.
