character psychology
Octavius possesses commanding presence and rhetorical skill, but beneath the distinguished exterior lies chronic alcohol dependency that creates unpredictable decision-making. Crucial policy choices often occur during compromised evening sessions.
His statements reveal increasingly authoritarian instincts:
"We need to be grateful that this horrible crisis taught the people that we need a strong government that determines and the people comply."
"Liberal democracy has failed, we need to control social media and society to respond to the people's desires that this crisis of capitalism has generated."
Core Traits:
- Commanding Presence: Natural authority masking internal chaos
- Alcohol Dependency: Chronic drinking impairing crucial decisions
- Authoritarian Instincts: Genuine belief that strong control serves the greater good
- Crisis Opportunism: Views problems as justification for expanded power
the republican concordance
"From chaos, concord" frames every crisis as justification for enhanced governmental oversight. His administration emphasizes coordination, protocol, and unified responses - democracy "upgraded" for modern challenges through systematic control.

looking ahead
President Octavius represents the dangerous combination of legitimate authority with compromised judgment. His alcohol dependency creates erratic leadership when steady decision-making is crucial, while authoritarian instincts justify systematic control.
The distinguished exterior masks a leader whose personal flaws make him vulnerable to manipulation by those who understand how to exploit presidential weakness during impaired moments.
