TNGF
SELECTED
Agrippina the Younger
primary
A striking woman in her early 40s, with a regal bearing and sharp, patrician features. Her dark brown eyes are intense and calculating, framed by arched brows. She has a strong jawline and high cheekbones, with her hair styled in intricate braids adorned with pearls, a style befitting her former imperial status. Her posture remains upright despite the dire circumstances, showing her unyielding nature.
Naval Officer
primary
A middle-aged Roman military officer with a lean, muscular build from years of naval service. His sun-weathered face bears a prominent scar across his left cheek, a testament to past battles. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing dark eyes convey both discipline and discomfort with his current task.
Slave Attendant
secondary
A young woman in her early 20s, of slight build with olive skin and dark, curly hair pulled back in a simple braid. Her hands are calloused from years of service, and her dark eyes are wide with terror. She has a small scar above her left eyebrow, likely from a childhood accident.
Nero
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, with a soft, rounded face that belies his cruelty. His features are delicate, with a weak chin and a slightly upturned nose. His eyes are small and close-set, giving him a perpetually suspicious look. His hair is carefully arranged in curls, a style popular among Roman nobility, and his skin is pale from lack of sun, as he prefers the indoors.

Naval Officer
Domina... by command of Imperator Nero Caesar Augustus, you are to...
Agrippina the Younger
Speak it plainly, sailor. Does my womb-bearer finally show his true colors? Let history record Nero as the first emperor to swim in his mother's blood!
Naval Officer
The imperial decree... must be executed as ordered.
Agrippina the Younger
Then strike true, lest I live to see you all flayed before the Rostra! Strike here - where you'll find the womb that bore your wretched emperor!
