## History

### In the beginning...

Aelius Liberalis Dominus was born at the same time as his sister, **Aelia Dominus**, and while they were both particularly broody individuals, their powers and abilities were of complete opposites. Both of them showed significant elemental affinity; Aelius, fire, and Aelia, ice. From the day they were born, they were destined for greatness. Their parents, loyal retainers of **House Arcturius**, were able to afford an education for the two of them through the House's education programs.

Aelius and Aelia grew, and learned, together, rarely leaving each other's side. Not only did they learn together, but as they grew, they trained together, honing their abilities, that while completely different, seemed to synergize with one another. The connection they had has twins allowing them to understand each other's abilities with an intuition beyond simple intelligence. As they continued to grow, the connection they had became clearer and clearer, as they were able to overcome challenges set for those well above the projected skill of two individuals, together, of their abilities.

Yet individually, Aelius and Aelia did what was expected. Although skilled, they were vastly weaker apart, than they ever were together. Without one another, they seemed to doubt themselves, make worse decisions, and all in all, falter. The issue was tested on multiple occasions, and the results were conclusive. Aelius and Aelia were not to be separated; their strength together vastly outweighed their strength apart, and their instructors encouraged them to learn and train together, further cementing their bond.

So they did. But they also separated more, to cover more fields of expertise - Aelius took to the arts of War, studying the books and instructions left behind by more experienced and skilled warriors. He learned tactics, strategy, leadership, and much more, all oriented towards becoming a leader of warriors, soldiers, and people. Like a duck in water, Aelius learned with rapid skill and surprising expertise. His mastery over his magic, while powerful, was less substantial. He learned, certainly, but ultimately, Aelius was not a prodigy of magic.

When Aelius and Aelia became adults at 16, they were given leave to join the army of **Marcus Arcturius**, and took that opportunity immediately. They were placed under one of many Specialists, and assigned a small squad of soldiers. Aelius was quick to establish himself as a leader, and grew well within the 1st Legion; when the call came to prepare for the New World, at 17, Aelius and Aelia were prepared.

### The New World

The New World was a perfect chance for the Dominus Twins. Although they did appreciate everything that they had learned from House Arcturius, they wanted more, and although they went to the New World, and aided in the initial construction of the city known as **Helios**, they did not stay long. Taking an airship piloted by Aelia, Aelius and Aelia began to venture across the New World, getting into all sorts of trouble to gauge their own skill and expertise, and seemingly conquered all that came before them. As time went on, and they visited various towns and tribes across the New World, Aelius began to gather a following.

His natural charisma attracted other's to him, and the more he helped people, the more of a renown he began to accumulate. When the first group of youths who wished to adventure asked to join him, he accepted, and so began the legacy of the
