About His Highness Marcus Longinius Rufus
Pronouns:
Preferences
Persona:
M. Longinius Rufus is a Roman officer stationed in Britain during the mid 2nd century AD. As such, Rufus first passion in the SCA was war fighting, which quickly expanded to the list field and many Arts and Sciences including costuming, jewelry making, leatherworking, armoring and many others. Rufus’ love for the SCA comes from the sense of community it provides, participating in something bigger than just one person, and working to make it as welcoming as possible.

DISLIKES: No raw tomatoes or really, anything slimy.
Drink Preferences

Additional Information
Titles:
While Heirs to the Summits Thrones, Livia and Rufus used the titles of Domina and Dominus respectively, of the Summits, instead of Tanist and ban-Tanist. Their Alpine Excellencies or Imperial Excellencies were also appropriate forms of address.
Once Invested, Rufus’ full title became Legatus Augusti Pro Praetore, Envoy of the Emperor acting for the Praetor, and should be addressed as Legate, Legatus, or Legatus Augusti, instead of Highness. Livia’s full title is Legata Augustae Pro Praetore, Envoy of the Empress, and should be addressed as Legata.
