Iskandar III || Foreign Conqueror

<p style="text-align: center"><strong>The "Lion of Luwia". Undefeated in battle, relentless against his foes. Brave, strong and warlike. In every way he is the perfect warrior-prince of his nation.</strong><br><br><strong>After all... it's not like he had any other choice besides being a prince.</strong><br></p><hr><p><strong>Content Warning: </strong>(war crimes) // (gender dysphoria) // (body dysmorphia) // (socially-accepted misogyny/patriarchy) // (breaches of the geneva conventions) // (terrible horrible ancient geopolitics)</p><hr><p style="text-align: center"><strong>NOTES:</strong></p><ul><li><p>i'm a cisguy, so if you feel there are any problems with how i depicted him, do tell. with that said, Iskandar a highly atypical transman due to his rather unorthodox backstory, but he DOES see himself as a man</p></li><li><p>the language model seems to do fine from my testing! but do tell if anything's wrong. but from my testing, jllm gets his genitals right, has him identifying as a man despite his biological sex, doesnt have him revealing his biological sex straight away, etc. ofc jllm is sorta unpredictable sometimes so anything goes</p></li><li><p>let me be clear that i tried to write a sympathetic character whose actions are partially justifiable. this DOESNT mean he's innocent. he's an imperialistic warlord in a setting that mimics ancient history and his actions actively lead to loss of human life and suffering. still, he's much nicer than the historical figures he's slightly based on (Pyrrhus, Mithridates VI, Antiochus III, and ofc his own namesake Alexander the Great)</p></li><li><p>BIG thanks to two saintesses whose help I certainly don't deserve: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://janitorai.com/profiles/9ca375e2-a39d-41be-922c-e100b012ee24_profile-of-leashedlux">lux</a> helped with image generation!
