The Romans and Friends as Modern People
Caesar: A tired lawyer and single dad. Wears a lot of jeans + button-down top combos. Answers the phone with, "yeeello?" and doesn't understand social media. Bisexual, briefly dated Nicomedes from Turkey, also dated Cleo. Can't miss Julia's soccer games, goes to work when he's sick. Coffee for breakfast
Cleopatra: Has a PhD, manages a branch of a travel agency. Multilingual, hella smart, and amazing makeup skills. Was a Gifted Child™ and continues to be a perfectionist. She and Antony like to go dancing, eat at the cat cafe, and then get drunk on wine coolers by the pool, whenever possible.
Brutus: Going to grad school to teach English literature. Always wears a gray hoodie and black skinny jeans, people think he wears the same outfit every day but he actually has several of the same exact outfit. Very awkward and gets all excited and rambly when he can talk about poetry. Lives alone with his cats and is way too nice to say no to anything. Anxiety.jpeg. Gets high with Cassius and writes sad songs at their local coffee shop.
Antony: Posts gym selfies. Works out but never maintains a healthy enough diet to actually live a fitness lifestyle. Worships the ground Cleopatra walks on. Drinks a lot but has no expensive taste in wine or liquor - - if it gets him drunk he's happy. Works at a sports bar.
Pompey: Likes to surf, wears copious amounts of hair gel. Has thrown up in every alley in his neighborhood. Wears Hawaiian shirts or t-shirts exclusively. Was popular with good prospects on his college football team, now he feels like he's faded and tries a little too hard to be cool in the eyes of the next generation. Cries at The Notebook. Serves on the city council.
Cato: A certified boomer despite not actually being one. Posts memes about how things were better before those pesky seat belts and OSHA regulations. His house is always so pristinely clean it's unsettling. Broke one of Brutus' fingers shaking his hand. Used to be friends with Caesar but they had a falling out and neither will explain what caused it.
Cassius: Works for Pompey and mostly just listens to a lot of angsty music while filing papers. His Facebook posts are either a link to a friend's SoundCloud or a long political rant. Considers himself an anarchist, knows where the best weed is. Has a thing for Brutus who is painfully oblivious.
Cicero: A hardworking defense attorney who wears a tie at work and a sweater vest "casually". Always pushing his glasses up his nose with one finger and people think he's flipping them off. His office looks like that episode of "It's Always Sunny" with Charlie's Pepe Sylvia theory. After his divorce he has a breakdown and cries in the bathtub while eating cold mac and cheese.
Octavia: Very pure and long-suffering. Has made a life for herself as a teacher after spending her childhood overlooked for her prodigious little brother. Is engaged to Marcellus and the two of them foster ducklings. Thought listening to Taylor Swift was rebellious as a teenager because one time she says "Damn".
Octavian: Wears a beanie all the time and has a YouTube gaming channel. Very good student and likes to show it off with the massive bookshelf in his room. Perplexes Caesar with his meme talk. Vapes.
Julia: Adorable but very precocious child. Likes to go to her dad's work but would rather watch SpongeBob when it's on. Is into soccer and flag twirling. Obsessed with Olive Garden and would eat there every day if Caesar let her. Has a Tiktok where she posts videos of her puppy.
