TNGF
SELECTED
Marcus Agrippa
primary
A robust man in his early 40s, with a muscular build honed by years of military training. His face is weathered from years at sea, with sharp, intelligent eyes that miss nothing. His dark hair is cropped short in the Roman military style, and a few streaks of gray hint at the stress of command.
Octavian
primary
A young man in his early 30s, with a lean but athletic build. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp features and piercing eyes that betray both intelligence and ambition. His hair is cut short, typical of Roman nobility, and his posture is upright, reflecting his military training.
Mark Antony
secondary
A ruggedly handsome Roman general in his early 50s, with a muscular build from years of military campaigns. His face is weathered by sun and battle, framed by thick, dark hair streaked with gray and a short, well-groomed beard. His intense dark eyes convey both charisma and a growing desperation.
Cleopatra
secondary
A striking woman in her late 30s, with a regal bearing and an air of command. Her features are sharp and intelligent, with high cheekbones and a strong jawline. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes are lined with kohl, enhancing their intensity. Her skin is a warm olive tone, and her hair is styled in the traditional Egyptian manner, adorned with golden ornaments.
Ship Captain
background
A grizzled, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a short, salt-and-pepper beard. His muscular build and calloused hands speak of years spent at sea. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Signalman
background
A wiry, sun-bronzed sailor in his late twenties, with close-cropped dark hair and a lean, muscular build honed by years at sea. His sharp eyes are constantly scanning the horizon and his fellow ships, missing nothing.
