TNGF
SELECTED
Augustus
primary
A man in his mid-60s with a lean but dignified frame, his face lined with the weight of empire but still commanding. His sharp, calculating eyes are framed by a high forehead and close-cropped silver hair. His posture is erect, bearing the authority of decades of rule.
Tiberius
primary
A tall, lean man in his mid-40s with sharp, angular features and deep-set eyes that give him a perpetually calculating expression. His dark hair is cropped short in the military style, with streaks of gray beginning to show at the temples. His posture is rigid, betraying his military background, and his hands are clasped firmly behind his back.
Livia
secondary
A stately Roman matron in her early 50s, with a dignified bearing and sharp, intelligent features. Her dark brown hair is arranged in the intricate nodus style favored by noblewomen, with a few silver strands visible. Her olive complexion is smooth for her age, and her dark eyes are watchful and composed.
Senator
secondary
A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean but dignified build, his face lined with the marks of political life. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by a furrowed brow, and his short-cropped hair is streaked with grey, signaling his years of service in the Senate.
Slave
background
A young male slave in his early 20s, of slight but wiry build, with short-cropped dark hair and olive skin. His hands are calloused from years of service, yet move with practiced precision when handling fine fabrics.
Dialog
Augustus
By the will of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and the authority vested in me as Pater Patriae, I, Augustus, adopt Tiberius Claudius Nero as my son and heir, that the empire may endure through his strength and wisdom.
Tiberius
I accept this honor with humility, and swear to uphold the legacy of Rome as your son.
Senator
One wonders if Mars himself could temper the... complexities of this succession.
Augustus
Let the Lares bear witness—this house is now bound by blood and duty. The Fates have woven their thread.
Tiberius
The weight of your trust is heavier than any shield I've borne.
