Gold solidus of the ill-fated Roman emperor Jovian (r. 363-364 CE). As senior member of the Imperial bodyguard unit known as Scholae, Jovian accompanied Julian "the Apostate" on his campaign against the Parthians. Following Julian's death from a wound sustained in battle, the army selected Jovian as his successor. The Christian Jovian went on to undo his predecessor's attempts at restoring traditional Greco-Roman religion; he issued an edict of toleration, allowing both Nicene and Arian worship, but banned magic and divination. He attempted to reach Constantinople and establish his rule firmly, but it was not to be: he was found dead in his tent, perhaps accidentally smothered by poisonous fumes (though, inevitably, there was suspicion of foul play). He was only 33.

Jovian*Tries to slip a coin into the slot of a snack vending machine but couldn’t reach it.* “Curse you! Do not deny me my snack. You there! Drone person. Make this machine give me a bag of glorb cookies!”
Tumblr media
Hoop “Not cooperating, hu? This heap of junk used to be on the Viral Tank. It's is probably older than both of us. Used to glitch on me and Hoop too. You look like you have a hard head, so let me show you a trick.
Accuracy is key here…. HUUUP!!" *Headbutts vending machine 3 times*
Two packs of glorb cookies plop down.
“And there you have it.”
Jovian snatches up the cookies, turns to say something to the strange foot soldier, but he disappeared.
[Wish I had the time to draw this out in it's entirety. I would be as distressed as Jovian if the vending machine denied me my favorite cookies. Why is the world so cruel??
Tried to think of something interesting. Jovian accidentally interacting with Hoop's ghost was the best I came up with. ]

Jupiter's Swirls from Juno
Tumblr media
Big storms are different on Jupiter. On Earth, huge hurricanes and colossal cyclones are centered on regions of low pressure, but on Jupiter, it is the high-pressure, anti-cyclone storms that are the largest. On Earth, large storms can last weeks, but on Jupiter, they can last years. On Earth, large storms can be as large as a country, but on Jupiter, large storms can be as large as planet Earth. Both types of storms are known to exhibit lightning. The featured image of Jupiter's clouds was composed from images and data captured by the robotic Juno spacecraft as it swooped close to the massive planet in August 2020. A swirling white oval is visible nearby, while numerous smaller cloud swirls extend into the distance. On Jupiter, light-colored clouds are usually higher up than dark clouds. Despite their differences, studying storm clouds on distant Jupiter provides insights into storms and other weather patterns on familiar Earth.

Would you believe me if I tell you that these two are only 10 years old and were encouraged to use weapons of their own choosing in their training? This is what they chose for one of their search and retrieve assessments to earn points for their team.
Jovian would prefer to do things solo. He believes having someone tag along will distract his focus and get in his way. That’s why he takes off on his own a lot when he was younger. The military brought be to his peak. Jovian likes to use his own made weapons.
Orieon only tagged along because he doesn’t like how his brother is behaving and want’s to make sure he makes it through the training alive.he doesn’t mind using the equipment given to him, as long as it’s good to defend himself and his brother.
These two don’t always see eye to eye.(literally) But when the time comes for them to where they have no choose but to work together, Jovian will put his pride aside and do it. Orieon’s just glad he got to spend time with his older brother without having to deal with his nasty attitude all the time.

[ @jovigeorge ]
Tamyra for the most part kept her distance from the obelisk. The names creeped her out and she was very happy having what felt like a personal beef with only one portion of this side of the beach, she didn’t need to add any more creepy elements of it, it was better to just ignore.
But then the obelisk had to change and because of the change turn even weirder and creepier, and alright, Tamyra just had to see it for herself. She pushed it off for a while, but now finally she was heading towards it.
Even from the distance she could see the difference - no names on it anymore - and still, once she reached it, she still wondered if the island was just playing a trick on them all and it would turn right back to how it used to be. “Any theories on what this could mean?” she asked Jovi, who was not too far away from her, after greeting him. “I am assuming you already have some.”

Random question, but have either of the mods met Jovian the Sifaka? I ask because my bio anth professor revealed she did while she was doing her masters at Duke and I was sooo starstruck it felt like meeting a celebrity even though she wasn't working with him specifically since Sifakas weren't the species of interest in her research
We have not, and he has sadly passed away but he is indeed quite the celebrity! Thats a very lucky opportunity that your prof got.

Bio: This is Jovian. He is an Irken/Vortian hybrid and the son of tallest Red and Eva. He’s the second oldest of his littermates. He’s the snappy one of them all and will not hesitate to show teeth. Jovian holds the most insecurities about himself. Most of it stems from being born a hybrid and is looked down upon by other species. Just like his other siblings, Jovian has no knowledge about his father nor his irken background. When the question is brought up, he mother tends to block it by changing the subject or giving little to no straight answers at all. Seeing as Jovian is half vortian, he has one of their features. The legs are what made him stand out. He and his younger brother are the ones being treated differently because of how irken they look. The people of planet Neutra are weary of them. Believing that their irken side will start to show.
Even though he is the second eldest, Jovian would often be called the runt of the litter because of his small size. Its infuriating to be reminded of this, so while he ages, he constantly makes up for it by improving himself physically and talentedly. Jovian was the one who found out about his father being tallest Red. Soon after that, he learned about the irken empire and it’s goal for universal conquest. It lead him to believe he was meant for greatness and and so much more than what he’s been given on this pitiful planet he’s living in. At the age of ten, Jovian began his self training. Thanks to having vortian blood, he was able to develop his own weapon design for such an occasion. He’s done this in secret because he knows his mother and siblings would condemn his actions. Living on planet Neutra has it’s ups and downs for him. He enjoys some of its quiet and peacefulness, but Jovian is adventurous and always looking for some action. Even if it’s one that get him dragged by the antenna back to his worried mother. Eva scolds him more than any of his siblings.
Jovian and his other littermates, joined the education system. They’ve met other kids from refugees there and learned about other alien races from them. Jovian wasn’t too interested in school. He found out that irkens get all their knowledge from a visualizer device that they plug themselves into. That was when he dug deep into the knowledge of irken technology and found out that their most greatest achievement was inventing the pak. Jovian fell to his knees and begged his mother to recreate the pak for him and his siblings. He manages to convince Eva after pointing out a few things regarding tallest Red and how this could be useful for them.
Jovian, loves inventing things, specifically weapons. This caught the attention of the head Neutralian military control. He was presented to them as a fine inventor and has seen his determination in combat, so they allowed the boy to join their military and helped him improve his battlefield training. Jovian wants to one day leave planet Neutra and explore the galaxy when he grows up. Maybe visit his father’s home world, irk. But his mother told him that it’s not a good idea. Seeing that he’s a mix between two species will have him deemed a defective in their eyes. Eva is keeping closer tabs on her son. His behavior is leaning towards his irken side and it’s showing. Jovian doesn’t even think about his vortian side note asked questions about what happened to his mother’s people. He ignores any questions of it. Jovian likes to spend his time to himself. Even more now that he’s not grouped up with his littermates. He’s either meditating somewhere. Making something while locking himself in his room, snacking or training himself to be the best.
Likes: Cookies(mostly the ones made by his mother) exploring, doing experiments, learning about his irken heritage, advanced technology, tv shows, ships, being loved and praised for his efforts, space, meat.
Dislikes: Being called short, not being taken seriously, being teased by his younger brother, bitter and plain food, being separated from his siblings,boredom, lack of transparency,his trainer.
Personality:Self-disciplined, crafty, reckless, determined, self-conscious, resilient, caring,vague, judgmental, snappy, confident, bold, hot-headed,narcissistic, jealous,cunning, stubborn, rowdy, intelligent, curious, dependable, hardworking.
*RELATIONSHIPS*
Eva: Jovian has good relations with his mother. When he was little, he would often be the one to crawl onto her lap and squeak for some treats, especially cookies. Eva had to keep close watch over her son because of him being more self aware about who he is his need to discover more about his roots. Jovian did press her for more details about his father and want to know the situation about the irken and vortian conflict. Eva tried to keep most secrets to herself about all of that but underestimated her son’s capability and sneakiness. Jovian found out the truth on his own after hacking into his mother’s personal tablet and also learned who fathered him and his siblings. Eva is worried for her son because she fears if he gets too into his irken, he’ll learn the shocking truth about it. Jovian understood this all too quickly and openly admitted that he hates being a hybrid. Eva loves her son but often had to scold him for his misbehavings and back talk. When Jovian pleaded with her to make an irken pak, she told him no, more than once. She eventually gave in after his nonstop begging. It wasn’t easy getting the right materials to recreate an irken pak. Eva was lucky enough to grab some copied blueprints of it back on the massive. Jovian was a mamma’s boy when he was young and would hiss and his brother and sisters if they get too close to her while he’s with her. He loves the attention set on him and being complemented for his achievements. One would think he’s becoming more irken than anything else. Eva can see that clearly.
Bellatrix: His older sister is the person he would go to if their mother isn’t available to talk to. These two have plenty to talk about. Mostly it’s science stuff or what they want to do when they grow up. Bella knows about her brother’s determination to prove himself to be more than what others deemed him to be because of his appearance and who his parents are. She was there when Jovian had an emotional breakdown. Something they agree to keep from their mother. After learning about who their father is and the details about the irken empire, Bella want’s nothing to do with it. She even tries to talk her brother into giving up his interest in wanting to be somewhat a part of that lifestyle. Jovian sometimes can’t tell if he’s arguing with his mom or his sister.
Nixy: Jovian and his younger sister are kind of polar opposites to each other’s lifestyle. Even in appearance. He has an irken look but haves vortian legs. While Nixy looks vortian but has irken legs. These two work together in some areas. One’s a the brain and the other’s the mastermind. Jovian gets to have a lot of stored knowledge data kept because of her. She’s a brainiac in the family. Maybe because Nixy is more in tuned with her vortian half than the others. Jovian like hanging out with her when he’s not busy tormenting his own body during training.
Orieon: He’s the splitting headache out of his littermates. Jovian can’t stand many things about him. One would be the fact that Orieon is taller than him, despite being the youngest. Another is his constant attempt to please others and always being their mother’s little favorite. Jovian had a couple of arguments and fights with his younger brother and it mostly related to him wanting to be more attached to his irken roots. Even after learning all the horrible things that species has done to other planets. Orieon is the only sibling who has a strong enough opinion that actually matters to Jovian. It gets him listening.
Tallest Red: The father he never knew but wants to grow up to be in the future. Jovian hacked into his mother’s tablet and learn what he can about him. The fact that his father is the leader of the irken empire, made him feel like he’s come from a very important bloodline. He wanted to know more about his other half. Disregarding his mother’s warning about it. Jovian is the second person to meet tallest Red and was the most hyped about it. But there was one part of Red that sees a little Zim in his boy and that scares him. Thought they do talk and get along over time. Jovian feels that he favors Orieon more. This kind of favoritism caused Jovian to grow a resentment towards his younger brother. Red can see his son’s persistence to earn his attention and praise. That is why, when tallest Red stayed with Eva on planet Neutra, he helped raise and keep their children from turning out like him. One time, Jovian accidentally said “My tallest” to his father. Red laughed at this because he knew why that happened. Short drones are meant to serve their leader, so when Jovian is around him, his instinct was to call him by his title name. That’s something he has to get out of his system real quick.
Dib: Jovian never saw a human until he met Dib. This was during one of his solo patrols on the outskirts of the city. He found Dib and Zim after they landed. He was curious as to why an irken is traveling with an inferior species. After taking them back to his place, Eva greeted them with open arms. Jovian asked a lot of questions. Few that were a bit rude to bring up. He’s Intrigued by Dib and asked about his home planet. The earth boy told him a lot about it and the adventures he had with Zim. Jovian want’s to study the human in more ways than just talk between them. Dib gave Jovian some insight about him and Zim’s relationship. Lecturing him that he shouldn’t judge them. Considering the fact that Eva and Red are together. Dib and his companion would drop off some supplies and food for Jovian and his family that would last then a month. He’s really grateful and a bit jealous of Zim for having a close human friend.
Zim: Meeting him was a game changer. Jovian never met another Irken other than the two his mother introduced at the refugee camp. Their first encounter was like out of pure instinct. Zim hissed and spoke irken to him. Jovian doesn’t know the language and later on asked Zim to teach it to him. After bringing him and Dib back to his mother’s place, he was greatly interested in knowing about the planet irk and the empire. Zim gave the kid a pep talk. Encouraging the young smeet to do his best out in the world, but also discouraged Jovian to want to be anything like him. Zim gave him and his siblings schismatics that they can use to help the development of the planet Neutra. Dib offered Jovian a free pointers on how to fly an irken voot cruiser. There was a time when tallest Red revealed the true nature of Zim’s past to Jovian, and it almost devastated his hopes to ever become a great soldier.

*DIALOGUES*
“I….AM NOT….LITTLE!”
“Do you have any idea who I am? I’m the son of the almighty tallest Red and you will show me respect!”
“It’s funny that you’d say that, little brother. But we both know who’s the real reject here, and it ain’t me.”
“I just want to be appreciated and taken seriously. Why is it so hard to have that? Am I trying too hard?”
“What do you know about being different, Orieon? You and Bella are spitting images of our parents!”
“Am I the ONLY one who wants to know more about our irken heritage? Why would you ignore this?!”
“Mom? Would you still love me if I wasn’t a hybrid?”
“Are you telling me that the death of two tallest was caused by ONE irken soldier? And he still getting away with it? That’s awesome! Zim’s amazing.”
“I’m in a mood for cookies. Where’s mom?”
“Father, I looked up to you. I wanted to grow tall as you. I even wanted to BE you. But after all you’ve said to mom last night…..I’ve wish I’ve never met you!”
