Caesars Legion

OOC Guidelines
Caesar's Legion is in the area as a reconnaissance force for the main Legion to the east. You are not conquerors of the region, and are representing the Legion's forces on the frontier. Due to the limited supply lines, you should avoid direct confrontations with your enemies, and should avoid assaulting enemy encampments except when absolutely necessary.

You are expected to be visibly recognisable as part of the Legion when engaged in any confrontations with other factions (unless acting as a nonlethal infiltrator). The Legion has a fairly negative reputation in many places, and this will pose great difficulty to the invasion force when they arrive - you should attempt to make allies wherever possible to ensure the invasion proceeds smoothly. Aggressive actions against non-hostile parties are strongly discouraged, as doing so will endanger the Legion's greater objectives. Taking slaves is, however, acceptable when dealing with enemy prisoners or those who willingly subjugate themselves to the Legion.

As a member of the Legion, you are expected to obey the chain of command wherever possible - the Centurion commands the Legion forces in the area, second only to Legion Command (server staff), the Orator acts as the Centurion's political and diplomatic advisor, and Decani command Legionary squads in combat. Auxilia, though not a combat role, are greatly respected in the Legion and should be listened to regarding matters of the camp.

Legion members must also have a Roman-style name (e.g. Lanius, Lucius, Vulpes, Gaius Magnus), and are forbidden from being ghouls. Legion roles may not be female, with the exception of Auxilia and Camp Followers. Additionally, though the Legion does not make use of advanced technology such as chem dispensers or power armor, avoid destroying it without good cause. Similarly, while the use of alcohol is frowned upon, it is not held to the same standard as other addictive chems - there is no need to smash every booze dispenser you see.

In the lore, the Legion is sexist and (by some accounts) homophobic. You may represent these aspects in your character if you wish, but do not force this on other players if they are unwilling to engage in roleplay based around these factors. Additionally, you are not allowed to meta-target or OOCly discriminate against people for any reason - all information must be gained in the round.

The Legion should work to capture high-value targets or sabotage their enemies in the first hour of the round, rather than resolving conflicts through force. Organized raids on enemy bases may only be conducted past the three-hour mark. Smaller skirmishes and solo/duo infiltrations may be permitted if it is logical and RP’d correctly.

IC Guidelines
- Obey the orders of your superiors.

- Do not take any chems, alcohol, or drugs. Medicinal herbs, powders and poultices are acceptable.

- Only rely on your own strength, and do not use technology as a crutch. Legion may use technology they find in battle at the Centurion’s discretion. Radios, night-vision goggles, flashlights, etc, are acceptable, but medbeam guns, cyborgs, power armor, etc, are not.

- When prisoners are taken, you must come up with creative solutions to deal with them, rather than just putting them on the cross. Should they resist, you are permitted to kill them.

- Never kill a fellow servant of Caesar without proper reason. Duels are acceptable and are to be honored whenever possible.

- Represent Caesar's might by wearing your uniform whenever possible. However, methods of espionage are allowed, such as acting as a nonlethal infiltrator.

- The Legion may not harass locals without proper reasoning. ‘They drink alcohol and use stimpaks’ is not proper reasoning.
