Here's a bag of holding to store your other newbie gifts so they won't get lost/try to kill you. It has pockets so you shouldn't get anything lost inside.
You've already gone through favorite fandoms, so do you have any favorite Agents or Missions? -

Glad to have you! For your newbie gift, take this Random Tool Generator. I don't know what it could be used for, but it certainly sounds interesting!

From that name I guess you have at least some knowledge of Roman history?

Not as much as I would want by

I do have the basics of Roman history down, and we had to study his work as one of the first Roman historians during historiography class last year, but other than that my Roman history is as rusty as an artefact pulled from the wells in Bath.
basicaly, our Uni splits the history students in two groups at the end of the first year, some going to the department of antiquities (and are hardly ever seen again) and the majority moving into what’s called "medieval to present”. I’m one of the last group (to be exact, department of contemporary history, unit of colonial history). The antiquities are compelled to take Latin and Ancient Greek, and I couldn’t handle those languages... -

I have a friend in classical studies - what you'd call antiquities, I guess - and he's ecstatic. Then again, he's weird like that.
I myself enjoy reading Roman history for fun; I doubt I'll go and study history once I'm done with my military service, though, because that's not something you can make a living from. -

If you enjoy history, go for it! You’d be supprized how much you can do with it. The advantage (and disadvantage) of a history degree is that you are not taught one job, but a skill that is needed in many jobs: to analyze, organize and synthesize information quickly. A history degree can get you many places; Our current Prime Minister, for example, has one.

I also tried to read LOTR a few years ago. I managed to read Fellowship, but I then lost my book. Yes, book, it was a full text version. Basically a brick. Don't ask how I managed to lose it, I don't even know.
So, uh... Oh, yeah, gifts. I found this bottle of soda in my Bag. You should probably put it in the fridge for a while if you want to drink it... Be careful, though, it literally tastes like urple. -

International exchange? That sounds fun! What were you doing in India?
Also, your newbie gift is a box of movie-theater popcorn, to eat while you read the Original Series and Constitution! -

It was a lot of fun! It's not often you get the chance to visit the other side of the world while your university picks up part of the tab.
The long version of what I was doing there: An interdepartemental study of the visual symbolism on Indian (paper) money from the Sepoy Rebelion until the 1970's in relation to the theories of Nation Branding and Banal Nationalism.
The short version: looking at pictures of money I wish I had...
