TNGF
SELECTED
Nero
primary
A slender 16-year-old youth with delicate features, fair skin, and curly auburn hair styled in the imperial fashion. His light brown eyes are slightly hooded, giving him a perpetually sleepy appearance. He stands with the awkward posture of a boy still growing into his limbs.
Agrippina the Younger
primary
A striking woman in her early 40s with sharp, patrician features, piercing dark eyes, and an imperious bearing. Her pale complexion is accentuated by carefully arranged dark brown hair, styled in intricate braids and adorned with gold pins. She carries herself with the confidence of someone accustomed to power, her posture erect and commanding.
Senator Lucius
secondary
A distinguished Roman senator in his late 50s, with a lean but sturdy frame. His face is lined with years of political maneuvering, and his sharp grey eyes betray a keen intellect. His thinning grey hair is meticulously combed, and he sports a neatly trimmed beard.
Praetorian Guard Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His short-cropped black hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing brown eyes constantly scan for threats. His sun-weathered skin and calloused hands speak of years of military service.
Imperial Secretary
background
A middle-aged man of slight build, with thinning dark hair and a clean-shaven face. His sharp features are accentuated by deep-set eyes that dart nervously. His hands, though steady when writing, often tremble slightly when idle.
Dialog
Senator Lucius
By the will of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, and the sacred Senate of Rome, I present you with the imperial insignia, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.
Nero
I... I accept this honor with humility, and vow to uphold the glory of Rome as my ancestors before me.
Agrippina the Younger
Do not forget, my son, that it is by the will of the gods and the love of your people that you stand here today.
Nero
Yes, Mother. The gods... and your guidance—
Senator Lucius
The Senate awaits your first command, Caesar. Shall we proceed to the Temple of Jupiter to make offerings for your prosperous reign?
Agrippina the Younger
A prudent suggestion, Senator. My son will lead the procession, naturally.
Nero
Yes! I— We shall proceed at once.
