History
Personal History: Pericles was raised on an agrarian world called Almaros. He grew up as many other kids his age, mostly unaffected by the affairs of the outer galaxy. The Olympians only had two interests for their world. One was to obtain vast food resources, even if it left the natives to starve on occasion. The other was obtaining young men to be trained to serve under the terrible Hand of Ares. Out of fear of retribution from the 'gods', the Almarosans never failed to send their humble offerings through the Stargate to Bactra in the right days and years. That sacrifice brought their world peace and they wouldn't even dare to displease their masters.
Once Pericles turned 16 he had a strange dream about the delivery due to the next day. It was a fruit of the overall fear such occasions brought to his people, but the Almarosans really believe in the ability of dreams to predict the future. In his dream, the mighty forces of the Hand of Ares were devastating his town due to their god not being pleased with receiving less than what he was expecting. The next day, the young man went on an errand for his mother. One which brought him close to the 'Gate area and sealed his fate. Seeing that there was one young man down from the usual number to be sent through and still frightened by his dream, Pericles stepped through the event horizon with the others to never see his homeworld again.
(A few minutes later, the missing young man, Aiolia, who was saying goodbye to his parents, arrived and saw the others were gone and he had received a new chance in life apparently as he was told that the number was completed, hence the delivery being made. Aiolia was the one to tell his family of Pericles' probable fate when they found out he had disappeared and stayed around to help them out as he could as he felt somehow responsible for the loss of their son. Aiolia and Phebe ended up marrying a few years ago and now run the trade and the Olympian offerings for the planet.)
For the next two years Pericles has received the hard and humanity stripping training given to those who are meant to be a part of the elite foot soldier group of the Hand of Ares. He took the name of Sirkis after his handler and Acastus for his new name. He was to forget about his previous life and by the end of that hell of training he had done so entirely or so it seemed at first even to himself. Since the end of his training he has participated in many campaigns and conquered enough victories with his now ruthless and deceitful nature to grant him position and fame within the ranks of the Hand of Ares.
About an year ago, he was sent on a mission to test a new Olympian weapon on an unsuspecting world, but was surprised by one of the Delian Expedition teams, SD-8. Being unable to care about their lives at all, he tested the weapon on them separating their consciousnesses from their bodies and later leaving them for dead. He later tried to use a captured Varasian escape pod to infiltrate and destroy the USS Iliad for Lord Ares, but his efforts were thwarted by SD-8 whose consciousnesses followed their bodies onboard the aforementioned Iliad managing to alert the SD-2 of the time against his plot before being reunited with their bodies by Doctor Jasmine Lang.
After this incident, Acastus was sent by his master to transport Penthesilea, the former Amazon Queen, back to Olympia. After such happened, Sirkis went on many more missions to the glory of his master, but now is laying low working on Olympia's security as something from his long forgotten past came back to him, his dreams. He knew he had to sort out the conflict of who he was and who he is before going abroad in campaigns again and so he found a way to convince his superiors it was in their best interest that he stayed grounded for a while as he acted as he should and could, fact which will place him in the path of the current SD-1 and SD-2 as they try to destroy the Ambrosia.
Family:
Mother: Arina
Father: Otho
Sister: Phebe
Brother-in-law: Aiolia
Training and Education:
Hand of Ares - Basic and Advanced Training
Service Record:
Hand of Ares - 18 years
Skills: Acastus is really skilled with his sword, Olympian hand weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
Personality: As Pericles, he used to be a care-free and happy child without many worries. He was innocent, worried about the fate of others and friendly once. Now, little to nothing of that boy remains within Acastus. He is cold, uncaring, sarcastic and will go to any lengths to insure his missions end up in success to his master. He doesn't accept failure from himself or others around him, being harsh on whomever brings it to the fold. He is also a no nonsense person and the only thing that matters more to him than victory is his own skin. He is out there for himself first and foremost and will use all his cunning to ensure that he stays being the one on top in the end, even betray or double-cross.
Ancient Gene: Nope
Other: A bit on the Almarosans as they might show up later:
- They are a peaceful agrarian society and possessors of a great wealth of food resources. Everything they plant grow somewhere on their planet and that is their main resource.
- They believe wholeheartedly that dreams are premonitory. Don't even try to dissuade one of them from it by citing Freud.
- Know that you are upsetting an Almarosan somehow when you hear from one the following phrase: "For all the dreams of Almaros, stop!"
- The Stargate is located at the main settlement where all the trade with outsiders and deliveries due to the Olympians are done.
- The level of technology on this planet is low as they were always meant simply for agrarian purposes by their masters.
- Their food production and plague countering techniques though are fairly advanced.
- They possess wind powered ships, balloons, steam engines and large carriages that resemble trains for long range transportation. That is the most of their technology in engineering.
- They trade by quid pro quo, so you are expected to give something back in return and it must be something tangible or considered useful to their society, not yours.
- They are pretty much defenseless against most kinds of attackers and don't have a combative nature at all. This situation was reached by centuries of Olympian domination.

Olympian Bireme - Varas
Modified Hoplite Transport Area
Penthesilea's Cell
Acastus Sirkis had to make sure that this Amazon woman reached Olympus anyway. It was his new mission. After his failure in destroying the Iliad, another one would not be tolerated. The ship transporting the Amazon Queen rendezvoused with his Varasian life pod just after he knew for a fact that his plan in some impossible way had gone down the drain.
Acastus went to the modified Hoplite transportation area of the ship as soon as he came onboard. Alone in a cell was his precious cargo. Penthesilea was laid on the floor, watching the ceiling. She was quite beautiful, he had to give her that.
"So my dear guest, enjoying the accommodations we've prepared especially for you? It's not everyday our Lord demands someone captured. He usually wants them dead. You must be especial!" Sirkis said, his voice filled with sarcasm. She better be worth his trouble as he was far from being in a good mood.
