TNGF
SELECTED
Antoninus Pius
primary
A dignified man in his early 50s, with a strong but not overly muscular build. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with deep-set eyes that convey wisdom and a calm demeanor. His hair is short and graying slightly at the temples, adding to his authoritative presence.
Senator Marcus
secondary
A senior senator in his late 50s, with a dignified bearing and a slightly stooped posture from years of service. His face is lined with age and wisdom, with a prominent Roman nose and deep-set eyes that convey authority. His hair is thinning and gray, combed neatly back in the traditional Roman style.
Senator Lucius
secondary
A lean man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features and a closely trimmed beard. His dark brown eyes are keen and observant, darting between his peers and the new emperor. His hair is cut short in the Roman style, with a slight wave.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, muscular Praetorian guard in his late 30s with a clean-shaven face, short-cropped dark hair, and a stern demeanor. His weathered skin and scarred knuckles suggest years of military service. His piercing brown eyes constantly scan the room for potential threats.
Dialog
Senator Marcus
By the will of the Senate and the People of Rome, and with the blessings of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, we declare Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus as Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius.
Antoninus Pius
The honor you bestow weighs heavily upon me, as does the trust of our ancestors whose wisdom guides this sacred institution. May my reign bring peace and prosperity to Rome as Hadrian's did before me.
Senator Lucius
One might wonder... does his piety extend to maintaining all our privileges?
Senator Marcus
Let the records show this tenth day of July in the consulship of Canus and Praesens marks the beginning of a new golden age for Rome!
Antoninus Pius
The Senate's wisdom shall ever be my compass, as the stars guide sailors home to Ostia.
