Augustus The 2nd

== Augustus ==
=== Introduction ===
Augustus, or Alphonso "Puma" DiNero, was an ex-US-Marine Major, ex-USRF Major, and now God-Emperor of The Legion. Augustus is a charismatic genius, but not so bright when it comes to normal intelligence. With or without intelligence, he surrounds himself with geniuses to make up for it, and keeps them loyal with his charm. Alphonso is also insane, but has not been declared insane due to his refusal to co-operate with therapists. Alphonso is most likely the most influential character as of now, having directly caused both the Bargetown Massacre and the USRF Civil war.
=== Life ===
==== Youth ====
Alphonso spent most of his youth bullied due to being Italian. He never found any group to stick to, as he was in the middle of Austin Texas, where the population of Italians were low. Therefore he spent lots of time alone, which may have contributed to his mental illness.
==== US Marines ====
At age 18, Alphonso joined the Marines, and with his charm and skills in combat, he rose the ranks easily, eventually becoming an officer, and becoming a Major. He found the Army to finally be a place where he was finally accepted, and therefore he embraced the murderous nature of the army with his whole heart. Still, he embraced his lonely side, and was known to be a Major who liked dealing with matters alone, and who liked dealing with matters quickly and efficiently, compared to other majors who took their time with useless blabbering and documents. For his speed, effectiveness, and his lonely nature, he gained himself the nickname "Major Puma".
==== The Puma of the USRF ====
As the USRF was established, Puma was one of the prioritized officers allowed to enter the bunker. He kept his work ethic up, but something about being locked in that bunker made him different. He became more extroverted and more influential, he changed, but people always thought it was for the better. In reality, this was the moment that Puma would start losing his mind, and he was one day discovered having what was presumed to be a schizophrenic episode. Due to that, he would be assigned a therapist, named Laurentia Moon, who would only be able to diagnose him with depression. 
==== Bargetown Massacre ====
The USRF would send Puma, seeking a triple-peace treaty with the Alumni and the Coalition. In a turn of events, Major Puma, would go on to be threatened, and would leap out into the ice cold water, losing his arm to a sniper shot. This was seen as a direct act of war by the USRF, which would within 7 minutes, completely destroy Bargetown with a massive artillery and bombing campaign.
Due to losing his arm, Puma would get a prosthetic one, and better yet due to his schizophrenia, he would go on to have delusions about his arm being a 'new self' that slowly took over his 'old self'. At first he was against it, later he embraced it.
Later, Puma would be assigned to be the leader of the Sunrise City base that the USRF had set up. He secretly used this to funnel resources and weapons to his rebel group, Puma's Legion, and would later cause the USRF civil war, a war he would win.
==== USRF Civil war ====
During the war, the USRF attempted to send a convoy of tanks and trucks through the Bargetown bridge, but Puma and his men were one step ahead, and would blow up the entire bridge, crippling their efforts.
The remaining USRF force were pushed to the Hotel within Sunrise City, and in there, they would be slaughtered, as Puma had joined forces with SIN and the Rebellion, all of which contributed with soldiers, and would wipe the entire USRF force out.
Commandant Joe was also present in the hotel, and would be captured and brutally killed by Major Puma.
Puma saw this as being baptized as a new man, as his arm taking control, and all traces of Puma were left in the dust as he was born a new. He was now Augustus.
==== The son of Mars ====
Augustus was now the undisputed leader of Sunrise City. He would go on to integrate SIN as a tribe for his legion, and changed the name from Puma's legion, to Augustus's legion. He now resides in the top floor of the Hotel in sunrise city, enjoying the company of his slaves, and living alone, giving out orders, and looking out as his empire slowly grows, each day bringing new fruits to his empire.
