The AU where my Roman OCs would never meet each other in Camp Aquarium is kind of crazy and so sad to me
Octavius Citrus - He would be the only one who would join the army. His story wouldn’t change much at the beginning, but because Acacius wouldn’t be at the camp to help him at first, he would never become a Centurion. He would suffer from loneliness and constant anger, because he disappointed himself. His family was right that he couldn’t do anything big. After army, he would settle down somewhere far from Rome to not returning to his family home.
Ultimus Casus - After a fight with his best friend [Octavius], he would start living a normal life. Marry a woman and probably has kids, working with horses in stable. He would never see Octavius Citrus ever again feeling guilt of betraying their promise to join the army together. Nothing exciting in his life would ever happen, routines would eat him and his marriage.
Martinus - His story would end tragically on the arena, but as he wanted to at the first place goin there. He would never met Fish Catcher who took care of him after joining the Gladiatorial School. No one would then prepared him to the fight and push him away from alcohol. He’d die painfully after his first arena fight, thinking that he was a failure and nothing more. His dad would never know why his son disappeared.
Acacius - If the fire accident on the roman galley would never happen he would spend his whole life sailing, in the army and then by himself not bothering by anything, just him, water and some friends from the ports.
Positivius - He would never join the army, because his parents would never abandoned him at the first place. Members of occupied Gaulish village would never find out that his father is Roman blood. Raised as a Gaul he would spend his whole life in the village, married and with a kid, not knowing he’s half blood. Since he would never meet his foster dad and Negativius, he would be so timid and scared of everything, because no one showed him he’s build strong.
Negativius - Never leave their house in Neapolis and studied everything about the unconventional medicine from their dad Frankienius. They would go in his path and become a medic continuing family tradition. Being happy with what they’re doing, helping people, but at the same time, if they never met Positivius or Martinus, they would never feel what the true friendship and connection is. They wouldn’t have many real friends, just colleagues from the same field of work.
Fish Catcher / Ollie - Finally met the right family who wanted her, she would raised to a great, independent woman who becomes a mosaic artist. Never been even close to the arena nor fighting.
