TNGF

SELECTED

Emperor Nero

primary

A man in his early 30s with a slightly plump build, curly reddish-brown hair, and a round face. His complexion is pale from days of hiding, with dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. His hands tremble slightly, and his posture is slumped, a far cry from his usual imperial bearing.

Phaon

secondary

A middle-aged freedman of sturdy build, with short-cropped graying hair and a weathered face that bears the marks of a life of service. His dark eyes are alert but filled with sorrow, and his posture is slightly stooped from years of deference.

Epaphroditus

secondary

A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp features and a neatly trimmed beard. His dark eyes are weary but alert, reflecting years of service and the current crisis. His hands are delicate, accustomed to writing rather than labor.

Guard Captain

background

A seasoned Roman soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of military service. His short-cropped dark hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing brown eyes scan the surroundings with practiced vigilance. A prominent scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Servant Girl

background

A young girl, approximately 14-16 years old, with a slender frame and delicate features. Her dark brown hair is tied back in a simple braid, and her olive skin is flushed with distress. Her hands are calloused from work, and her posture is slightly hunched from years of servitude.

Emperor Nero Qualis artifex pereo! What an artist dies with me!

Phaon If it please you, Caesar, there is still time to... to consider another course.

Emperor Nero Another course? When even my own Praetorians have turned against their emperor? No, this is my final performance - let it be remembered!

Epaphroditus The disposition of your household, Dominus. Shall I...

Emperor Nero Disposition? Let them remember how Nero died! Not groveling before those senatorial curs!

Phaon They come, Dominus. The hour is upon us.
