Physical Desc.:5'9, brown hair, blue eyes, scrawny build, tanned
Trait you are more easily covered by a shield
Bio: Ashtartyaton came from a middle class family. Peasents, if you will. The family occupation was mainly a small bakery in a small town. However, Ashtartyaton wasn't one to sit and do something that didn't benefit anyone, besides short-term help. Taking note of Carthage's military might, he joined the military in hopes of a better goal than a simple bakery chef. As a child, Ashtartyaton was always energetic and playing war games with the other children. That kind of horse-play grew on him.

everyone is taking off, you look back, and resume gtfoing, as you turn around to get to the fastest you can, when something smashes into the back of your helmet, you fall forward onto your face, without thinking you quickly jump up and take off. You reach the town square out of breath, but fairly ok

I meant look into the blacksmith's workplace and shop themselves, but now I'm thinking that's not the place for Linthorax. Does the unit have a quarter master I could borrow Linthorax from?

quartermasters are generally in camps or some sort of behind the lines place, also this is a garrison so they'd generally get their things from the local populace. besides the Romans are advancing, albeit slowly now, but still you need all the time to form the defense
