Character History:

Leonidas I is the half-brother of Cleomenes I, the king of Sparta. Originally, the succession of the throne should be given to Cleomenes’ children, but as they all passed away, Leonidas sat on the throne as the new king.[1]


However, unrest already drifted in the atmosphere of the outskirts of the city-state of Sparta. The most important thing of concern was the demand of “water and soil” made by the great king of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, Xerxes I, transmitted to all city-states except for Athens and Sparta—it essentially meant a substantially complete surrender of the city-states by handing over all rights of their harvests as well as their territories to the Persians.[1]

Many city-states chose the path of servitude under the powerful Persian Empire, but the allied forces, centered around Athens and Sparta, chose to confront them. However, when Persia commenced their invasion, unfortunately at that moment, Sparta was holding the sacred Carneia festival, overlapping with the Festival of Zeus held over the entirety of Greece, and the allied forces fell into a state of affairs where it was impossible to move their large armies.[1]

Will the descendants of Perseus be destroyed? Or will the king who descended from the bloodline of Heracles die?[1]

Leonidas understood the full extent of the prophet’s oracle delivered to him. “That is to say, if I escape with my life, Sparta will be destroyed.” Leonidas did not hesitate. He led 300 elite men and deployed a battle formation at the valley of Thermopylae called the “Hot Gates”, battling all 100,000 members of the extolled Persian army over a span of three days. However, the rear of the Spartan army’s battle formation was attacked due to a betrayal, the forces annihilated except for merely one person, Aristodemus, who withdrew from the army as a result of a blindness condition he suffered from. At that time, the Spartan soldiers opposed and snapped back at their enemies with their bare hands when they lost their weapons. While Leonidas’ spear did not reach Xerxes, due to the time gained from him and his hundreds of subordinates in these three days, the Greeks of the allied forces were able to get ready and prepare for battle, ending with them repelling the Persian army. It was neither a fluke or chance that only this king and no more than 300 of his men would save the Greek world.[

The historical inaccuracies here cause me pain, but I guess that's Fate for you. :)

Hey there Jak, we just need some details before I can let you run amok with your Agiad king here.

Your spear and shield abilities are straightforward, and I could approve them as is, but I feel like I should recommend some modifiers like 'removable' or 'transferrable', or even 'self/other' if he wanted to try and shield other people with that massive aspis shield of his.

Your Summon ability stands alone by itself, as in: this allows Leonidas to summon his 300 Spartans. You would have to purchase their abilities and effects as separate from Leonidas. This isn't exactly the place to theorycraft such an ability though, so I might recommend taking it up in the Discussion forums, or maybe on the Discord.

You may also consider actually buying the Spartans as subservient soldier with coin. Just a thought.

Finally, you need to indicated which Modifier your Specialized affinity is for, such as Ongoing, Ranged, Affects Multiple, etc.

Just let me know when you've made some adjustments, and I can take another peek!
