TNGF

SELECTED

Octavian

primary

A young but commanding figure in his early 30s, with a lean, athletic build and sharp, calculating eyes. His features are finely chiseled, with a prominent nose and a determined jawline, bearing the weight of leadership beyond his years. His short-cropped hair is neatly styled, and his complexion is fair but weathered slightly by the Mediterranean sun.

Marcus Agrippa

primary

Late 30s, athletic build with broad shoulders and a weathered face from years at sea. His sharp, calculating eyes scan the horizon, framed by short-cropped dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone from an earlier battle.

Legionary Officer

secondary

A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of battle. His short-cropped hair is peppered with gray, and a deep scar runs across his left cheekbone. His sun-browned skin and calloused hands speak of a life spent in military service.

Rower

background

A sinewy galley slave, mid-30s, with sun-leathered skin stretched over whipcord muscles. His shaved head bears old lash scars, and his hollow cheeks speak of meager rations. Dark eyes, dulled by exhaustion, peer from beneath heavy brows.

Dialog

Octavian Agrippa, their center weakens. The Egyptian ships falter.

Marcus Agrippa Aye, Dominus. Their line frays like rotten rigging. Shall we press the advantage?

Octavian Do it. Signal the Liburnians to encircle. Let them taste Roman steel.

Marcus Agrippa At once. Legionary! Order the corvus deployed—Antony's marines will not board us today.

Legionary Officer Praefectus! Ad remigium! Full stroke on my mark!

Octavian Today Rome is remade. Jupiter Optimus Maximus wills it.

Marcus Agrippa Then let us carve history upon these waves, Dominus.
