TNGF

SELECTED

Nero

primary

A young man in his late twenties with a slightly plump face, curly reddish-brown hair styled in the fashion of Roman nobility, and a faint beard. His eyes are dark and intense, with a gaze that seems both distant and calculating. His skin is pale, indicating a life spent mostly indoors, and his posture exudes an air of regal detachment.

Praetorian Guard

secondary

A tall, muscular man in his late 30s with a square jaw and close-cropped dark hair. His face bears the weathered look of a seasoned soldier, with a scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone. His stance is rigid, exuding disciplined strength.

Senator

secondary

A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean but sturdy build, his face lined with the marks of political strife and age. His sharp, patrician features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed beard, and his piercing eyes reflect both intelligence and deep concern. His posture is upright, betraying his aristocratic upbringing.

Citizen

background

A middle-aged Roman citizen with a wiry build, his face streaked with soot and sweat. His short, dark hair is disheveled, and his eyes are wide with panic. His tanned skin is flushed from exertion and heat.
