I dont think anyone is going to do Octavius...he is "un-intiguing" and really concealed about his emotions. I'm going to guess no one is going to do Octavius. But I would like to help out anyone who is interested in this character...after all... I am "YourAnonymousBuddy".
According to my understanding of this book Octavius Caesar is Julius Caesar's rightful heir to the throne. But Octavius is the exact opposite of his father. Julius Caesar was an arrogant ruler whose suspectibility to flatery and his false sense of infallibility lead to his tragic demise. But Octavius understood his flaws, unlike his father. Octavius knew that he was not the perfect ruler. Hence he called for a pact with Mark Antony and Aemilius Lepidus to seize control of the Roman Empire. For anyone who is doing Octavius it would righteous for you two see how different both father and son were. If Caesar was in Octavius's shoes he would have rejected all help and would have blindly gone on to meet his enemies in battle.

This point is very important!!! I believe that Shakespeare (the author if you forgot) related this whole incident with his own life. According to my research Shakespeare's father was very disappointed with his son William. In fact Shakespeare's father was the total opposite of Shakespeare. In fact they both did have a speacial bond but they were so different. Shakespeare was very poetic and concealed about his emotions. He only revealed it throught the plays he wrote. But W.Shakespeare's father was the total opposite.
I read this in acouple of websites... but you are going to have to search for it yourself (sorry).
Best of luck on Octavius.
