TNGF
SELECTED
Octavian
primary
A young man in his early 30s, with a lean but wiry build, sharp features, and piercing grey eyes that betray both intelligence and ambition. His short-cropped hair is slightly tousled from the sea breeze, and his clean-shaven face is marked by the faint lines of stress and responsibility.
Centurion
secondary
A battle-hardened Roman officer in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of military service. His face bears deep weathering from sun and wind, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to jawline. Short-cropped iron-gray hair and piercing blue eyes that have seen countless engagements.
Helmsman
secondary
A muscular, sun-weathered sailor in his late 30s with salt-crusted beard and forearms corded with years of hauling ropes. His keen sea-green eyes constantly scan the horizon through squinted lids.
Signal Officer
background
A lean, sun-bronzed sailor in his late twenties with short-cropped dark hair and a wiry build, honed by years of naval service. His keen eyes are trained to read distant flags through sea spray and smoke, with a network of fine lines at their corners from squinting against the Mediterranean sun.
Marine
background
A battle-hardened Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of training. His face is weathered by sun and sea, with a short-cropped beard and a deep scar running across his left cheekbone. His hands are calloused from gripping weapons, and his stance is balanced for shipboard combat.

By Mars' will, hold formation! Their center weakens—press the advantage!

Imperator! Starboard quinqueremes breach their line—Antony's flagship turns stern!

Like a wedge through rotten timber. Signal the Liburnians to encircle.

Aye, Imperator. Port marines repel boarders—three ships lost.

Let Pluto claim their dead. Today Rome is remade.
