Octavians Pokemon Team Hc

Octavian’s Pokemon team Hc

I bought the Pokemon Scarlet DLC and now I’ve decided that every pjo character I like now needs pokemon teams. With explanations

Octavian’s team I think came the most naturally. I’ll probably also be including like fully evolved teams and stuff but the first team I thought of (probably like baby Octavian’s team) would be,

Stufful, Poocheyna, furret, snivy, pidove, and evee.

(The pokemon in question from left to right,)

Why these little guys specifically for his like first team? Well Stufful is a stuffed animal and that’s the Octavian thing (I was tempted to put pancham on here for the joke but no-) poochyena just gives me Octavian vibes, feel like he’s on their wavelength and thinks their cute. Furret also just, feels like Octavian. That is my justification. Snivy is here mostly for the evo and how snooty it was in the anime, probably a family tradition pokemon, also its final evo is Octavian vibes. Pidove is there purely because of Auguries and because I believe Octavian thinks it looks funky and cute. Eevee is there partially because I just like eevee and a shorthand to show Octavian’s pokemon treatment in the future and like pokemon stuff, he probably wants it to become an umbreon.

Now Octavian’s final team in my head ends up being Bewear, mighteyna, serperior, unfeazant, meowstic, sylveon. (Sadly not pictured due to tumblr app restrictions on 10 pics per post.)

Bewear is Stufful’s evolved form, known for being absolutely massive, wanting friends, and then accidentally crushing people. I wanted to keep the Stufful on and I thought it’d like fit with Octavian because of his like constant push and pull in the pseudo-taking into account of canon in my mind of the character. Mighteyna is Poochyena’s evolved form. Octavian just got attached to it and it’s a dog/hyena/sort of wolf canine esque creature and Rome dog parallels. Serperior is Snivy’s evolved form and if you only look up one pokemon from this post look up Serperior because it actually is just Octavian’s pokemon. But it’s regal. Unfeazant, he evolved his little pidove. Just there for his Augury stuff and maybe even the Haruspex nature (a Pheasant is close enough to a chicken or something-). Meowstic is there for its wild psychic abilities, like future telling and stuff. Sylveon is a guilty pleasure because it’s one of my all time favorite pokemon (like many of these are) and it’s showing his dedication to his pokemon and passion and love for like New Rome.

I didn’t add Falinks just because I’d rather give it to other people (Michael Kahale or Reyna). But if it’s definitely a honorable mention along with crobat.

Can we pretty please talk about how no matter which character's pov it is, the first time we see them meet Octavian he's always described as tall. Percy described Jason (6'0) as a couple of inces taller than himself, but for Octavian he didn't bother making a comparison, he just said "Tall" so now I'm imagining Octavian to be Tall tall. Taller than everyone. Like, almost 7'0 tall, of not exactly 7'0. Like.

But also he's tall and skinny and weird.

And Jason is kinda upset that Octavian is taller than him and he tries to make himself look taller when standing beside Octavian and they end up fighting about it kinda toddlers.

Reyna is the only adult person here and she told me to tell you to send help.

Camp Jupiter Ranking Hc

Alternatively: ‘Camp Jupiter: Re-imagined Ranking hc rework thingy?’ Wooo okay, 14 pages later of me trying to get this all formulated I can finally share the fruits of my labor!

Like always I’ll talk about roles that were in the Ancient Roman military, mushed together with concepts from Camp Jupiter and my own ideas, and then still don’t take anything I say like super duper seriously. I’ll also mention the units, which are based on after the Marian reforms(?). I kinda ripped apart the legion..? Nicely, love my guys but I wanted to nerd out a little for the ranks, but I pretty much just switched some stuff around but it’s totally still like the three levels and I still think it’s pretty simple? Or like yeah, I did like metaphorically smush the sandcastle and then rebuild it in my design, but that’s the whole point of it being a headcannon/au/re-imagining thing. Hopefully, uh. I’ve tried to make all of this actually make sense and have function. So, enough of me yapping,

Senior Officers/ the important people

Senior officers get their own little thing. This is where you’d put your like Praetor, Senator, Centurion in canon terms. I’m just calling them senior officers (I did it for note optimization so I wouldn’t pull my hair out while writing) but yeah. There are some new roles; Legion Legate(s), Tribune Lacticlavus(?), Senators, and Centurions.

Legion Legates have effectively taken the role of what Praetors are in canon? I kept the 2 (even though historically there would be 1 legion legate) they would run in pairs (most of the time, though there’s probably exceptions). The legate would serve for 4-5 years, it’s possible for the Senators if needed to remove a Legate or Tribune from power. Legion Legates have to meet the same requirements a Centurion would, and would be voted in by the majority. Like I said really similar to Praetors (just not Praetors because I wanted to move that to the New Rome government.) doing most of the same roles that a Praetor in canon would serve, being the referees during the War Games, directing the legion in battle. They’d also decide what the war games would be that time, form the schedules of the cohorts, call for senate meetings under certain circumstances.

Tribune Lacticlavus, the second in command to the Legates. Generally there acting as a stand in for distributing things like spoils to the cohorts after battles, takes majority of the words from legionnaires and sorts out smaller issues, would run with their legate pair and serve the same amount of time as their legates. Also removed the gender lock on them that the Praetors in canon had. Not necessarily needed (A legate pair can slip past having on and still perform their duties) though it’s very, encouraged to have one? It’s basically odd to have a term where there is no Tribune Lacticlavus

Senators; very similar to canon, elected annually, with 2 senators per cohort. Can run for re-election, Centurions/other lower ranked roles can also be senators jointly (excluding things like an Aquafiler)

Centurions; Elected by the Senate (like canon) 2 serve per cohort, typically have 4-5 year long terms. Though can serve for longer times (*Like Jason for example) Centurions must’ve served at least one year in the legion and performed in a quest to be eligible. This time they get to have their silly special names for differentiating the Centurions. Primus Pilus for the senior Centurion of the First cohort (*My dude Octavian. Uses it too, needs all the respect he can get from his title so maybe people will actually listen to him-) Pilus Priors for Senior Centurions of the other cohorts (Example; someone like Dakota would be the Pilus Prior of his Cohort.) and the basic Centurion for the not senior Centurion (sorry Primi Ordines but I didn’t really want to make this more long than I already made it). Most names for Centurions literally are just to differentiate (Like the Decanus role I’m gonna bring up). Other than being able to pull rank by being the Senior Centurion but that’s about it.

Optio; Optiones(?)/ default Optio Centuriae, are the second in commands to the Centurions essentially. They keep the troops in order, re-enforce orders from Centurions, and generally just like- helping out? Their specific title can change based on what their curated role is (like an Optio being an Optio Valetudinarii; or in charge of the Hospital) but as default Optio Centuriae; there to be aid to the Centurions. Usually each Centurion will bring up one of their friends to be their Optio.

Aquafiler; actually a canon role (Our current camp Jupiter Aquafiler is Jacob!) holds the legions standard, carefully picked by the Senate. A very honored position.

Okay that is the like, important roles that are more than like. Just an extra role? Like a title that aaa, but here are the just. Legionnaire extra silly roles,

Decanus; a title with no power. Decanus is the term for those who commanded a Conterbanum (more info on them later). Saying someone is a Decanus is more of a way to distinguish and make separating the Conterbanums easier (like being in a line of people and having the first person be what the line is referred to as) a Decanus is chosen as a group in the Conterbanum, there is no standardized way and it doesn’t really affect how the Conterbanum works.

Immunes; Immunes are the specialized members of the legion. Medics, engineers, those types of specialized jobs. They still fight but are exempt from basic legionary duty (trench digging and stuff). They play a role in like Conterbanum stuff that’ll come up later.

Probatio; The same to canon. I didn’t change it but thought it was still worth to include them and stuff.

Okay. OKAY. Almost done, it’s taken upwards of almost a week to type this and finally I establish the one last thing, the introduction of Conterbanums!!

Conterbanums are a sub unit in the Roman military made of 10 people (8 common legionary, 2 Immunes) these relate to the Decanus role I mentioned. But like in the Roman military these serve more just for troop like morale? Building that family bond stuff. A Conterbanum is formed of like I said, 8 common legionnaires and 2 Immunes. The immune distribution is most likely with one being a medic and the other being… something? Conterbanum’s are mainly implemented 1) for organization, it’s easier to manage the cohorts and keep records with everyone in these easily recorded groups. And 2) to make Camp Jupiter overall more interwoven, to promote more community and more of a bond between legionnaires, it would probably serve a narrative purpose to like make camp seem more alive, and also does what it did in the Roman military which was like. Comradery (I can’t spell but you know what I mean).

Okay! Okay that’s all, I think. I’m sure. I did a lot of yapping, and I did a lot of things. Generally do I have any issues with how camp is structured? Not really, other than the gender locks on Praetors and like the super duper murky rules I don’t really have anything against it. But for the re-imagining that exists in my head I want Camp to be much more traditional, and much more complex because like something something we first see it through Percy’s eyes and it’d be confusing and whatever.

Also it took me a week just to write this out not to mention the month of cursory research because I’ve been getting sick and recovering then getting sick again all throughout January so I apologize for not including New Romes government system. But I also didn’t want to think about the Roman government system of like Julius Caesar time frames (what I’m generally planning on basing it off of. Just that general time period because it’s the one I’m most familiar with-)

Octavian and Michael quest where Venus lost her girdle.

This is totally random but I wanna write it specifically because I wanna write tiny little baby 13-year-old Michael and Octavian sit there and have to get to like, Santa Barbara and pick it up from like Artemis because she had one of her hunters bag it because she lost in Uno against her or something.

Super stupid example but I needed something really quickly and I dunno. Feels like a thing Artemis would do to her Aunt(?) in Pjo canon I think its like her Great-Aunt.

That example obviously has massive repercussions to the Hunters and their knowledge of both camps and whatever. And like Octavian and Michael having to somehow retrieve it without being like turned into a dog or something I don’t know!

Anyway probably expect a like skeleton of that potential story soon once I figure out what their doing.

(Except for the prophecy. I can’t make prophecies, I’m worse than Pjo Apollo at trying to poem myself so that will… have to be figured out.)

For reference that’s the distance between Berkeley (I think that’s where Camp is) and Santa Barbra. Though I might move it to being in Santa Cruz so I can make stupid Disney shenanigans.

Also this entire concept is totally subject to change but I just wanna write what Octavian and Michael’s quest was but I also wanted it to be very like. Not super duper serious? Sure the Girdle is a very powerful thing but I didn’t want it to be like on the brink of war whatever,

Honestly how it’s going down in my head is like, two sisters arguing about clothes swapping but instead it’s like, “JUNOOOO! Where is my girdle??” Haha silly Iliad reference and then like Juno does the whole “I don’t know Venus have you blah blah blah” and then Like you get the idea.

Hates dirt under his nails, picks at them constantly and can’t stand the feeling.

Has a collection of Fibula (the little pin to fasten things like togas) he is very proud of the collection, has a like weekly rotation of a few.

Definitely ropes Michael into helping him bleach his hair. He’s been doing it forever and insists he’s doing it correctly even while Michael is reading off the back of the box. They both silently agree to disagree.

Likes cats, stops to pet the strays that wander New Rome. Also had a fish as a kid, took really good care of it too, I like to think it was named Aeneas.

Can’t stand like crumbly desserts. The texture kills any enjoyment for him.

I want more octavian stans moots!!Reblog with your Octavian headcanons!
