Re: Just have to share this...
It took me six hours to write my bio for Moira (day 2) and almost that to do Agrippa's yesterday. Even if I'm in the writing place, I find I need to do research as I write in order to make sure I'm not building characters, settings, or plot devices that are based in historical inaccuracies. I created Agrippa's appearance based on what most people picture for a Roman soldier and forgot he couldn't wear that and be a Praetorian, which I needed so he could be there when the Emperor and God are murdered. Thank goodness I did all that research so I could go back and change things. Granted, I suppose since he's dead he can wear whatever he wants; his clothing is just an expression of his psyche at this point. But, still, it was a rookie mistake for a Historian to make and I'm glad I caught it early.
