Literally All I Talk About Is My Reimagining- - Tumblr Posts
Me and my friend got callbacks and we might end up being Lumire and Cogsworth B] but we get Cast list soon so fingers crossed!!
Anyway I’m gonna work on Ranking stuff right now. Literally just have to finish something and then the post will begin to be physically drafted, but for now I wanna talk about some of the (massive-) changes I’m making for the sake of being excited and getting to talk about Rome in some way,
Praetors are being swapped out. They’ll be a part of New Rome’s government (that I might go off of but that’s a different thing) but are being replaced by a ‘senior officers’ class. Not exactly senior officers, they’re elected and other stuff that I’ll explain. But yeah, generally making things a bit more complex and election drama and that stuff.
I say I’m making it complex but really it still is the ‘Senior Officer, Senator, Centurion, Legionnaire+’ pyramid. Just with some extra spots to account for the fact that Camp might be a bit bigger in my re-imagining? Much more bustling (*not to mention a lot of minor Gods probably subtly guide their kids there for various reasons but that’s a different idea I haven’t thought much over*)
The Centurion role list will probably look very long because of the 4 titles but it literally boils down to ‘Centurion. These Centurions have a different tilte. Blah blah blah’
More legionnaire roles!! I’m gonna go on a rant over Optio’s (Optiones? Optii? Idk) because it’s my favorite position in the Roman military and because I find them interesting and a good way to build characters n’ stuff. But yeah, not lots but more legionnaire roles (I think like 2 or 3? We’ll see but I’m 100% omitting some roles)
I’ll be transparent. I’ve only thought about how this may affect plot surface level. I am not the plot guy or the writing guy. I just like myself ten buckets of worldbuilding, but I’ll probably go over what I think this changes for characters. Probably.
Okay thats really it I think. Another note is that my research probably isn’t that in depth, I have a lot of things to do and therefore I try my best but I obviously won’t be like a million % accurate or correct or whatever. And this is all for my Re: imagined! It’s just my headcanons for how I want to think of my Re-imagining of Camp and HoO. The extra roles and how I see SoN in my Re:imagining add to what I want Camps suffocating regimented atmosphere that Percy has to experience to be.
