Flavius got renamed as fast as created XP
Flavius Smokescreen didn't roll off the tongue that well because of two "S" between name and surname, so I changed warband name to Fire and it sounds way better.
2nd topic: I made him trans. He is using fem model, so it just felt right. Still, he lived as a man for so long he forgot his previous identity, and he feels good about it. He doesn't experience body dysmorphia anymore, just ocassionaly when he gets VERY drunk he panics where is his pp (got his internal organ removed many years ago - aka doesn't experience heats, making him very comfortable in his own skin). At this point he considers himself a man, just like others do, so much so he doesn't remember he is trans and participates in the Pride as an ally.
I was also debating if I want him to be in the Blood or Flame Legion (both warband ideas - smoke and fire - were very Flame coded, but I wanted him to be an understanding father figure, respected by most, which is more Blood thing), and the answer lies somewhere in the middle. He was a Flame member, his sire a shaman, he probably transitioned around that time to try to ditch out of the crumbling Legion which heavily mistreated him. After running away he joined Blood Legion and climbed ranks up to Centurion. Then in Icebrood Saga he applied to newly estabilished Flame Legion run by Efram and became high rank personnel, keeping his prevoius rank with additional door open for a promotion to Tribune.
