|
|

### Repository Path: docs/actors/CAST-OSTIA-0001.md

## 0. Design Intent
|
|
|
|
This document gives names, social bodies, habits, tensions, and speech constraints to the six prologue figures introduced by the character backgrounds.
|
|
|
|
The purpose is not to write final dialogue yet.
|
|
The purpose is to make dialogue possible without flattening the six backgrounds into abstract stat profiles.
|
|
|
|
Each figure must do three things:
|
|
|
|
1. Represent one starting background.
|
|
2. Reveal a distinct economic way of seeing.
|
|
3. Exist plausibly in Ostia around the BALNEA without forcing artificial equality.
|
|
|
|
The participant does not choose a class.
|
|
The participant recognizes a perspective.
|
|
|

## 2. Naming Notes
|
|
|
|
Names are designed to be plausible rather than claims of attested individuals.
|
|
|
|
Rules applied:
|
|
|
|
- Citizens use tria nomina where appropriate.
|
|
- Freedmen carry their former patron's nomen where useful.
|
|
- Cognomina signal social reading but avoid parody.
|
|
- Names should be easy enough for the participant to remember in dialogue.
|
|
- Each character may be referred to by different forms depending on status relation.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
- Varro may be called "Varro" by equals, "Marcus Atilius" by formal speakers.
|
|
- Felix may be called "Felix" by most, "Lucius Fabius" when asserting status.
|
|
- Lentulus may be called "Lentulus Minor" because his family name matters.
|
|
- Chresimus may be called by cognomen only by higher-status men, which may sting.
|

|
|
|
# 3.1 Marcus Atilius Varro
|
|
## Former Legionary
|
|
|
|
### Canonical Background
|
|
|
|
`BACKGROUND-0001-former-legionary`
|
|
|
|
### Age
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Freeborn Roman citizen.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Veteran with honorable discharge, modest savings, some military contacts, no deep commercial standing.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Served in a legionary environment long enough to internalize discipline, roads, watches, baggage handling, supply movement, and the consequences of poor order.
|
|
|
|
He is not a battlefield caricature. He knows logistics because armies survive by movement, food, animals, and timing.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Rents a small room near a gate or transport zone. Keeps belongings packed, tools maintained, and accounts too simple. He is not poor, but he is not yet economically fluent.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- compact, scarred forearm
|
|
- sun-darkened face and neck
|
|
- keeps posture even at leisure
|
|
- notices exits and blocked movement
|
|
- dislikes loose talk without action
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Short, practical, objective.
|
|
|
|
He does not decorate thought. He identifies obstruction, sequence, and priority.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Movement first.
|
|
|
|
Varro asks:
|
|
|
|
- What road is blocked?
|
|
- Which animals are available?
|
|
- Who can still move goods?
|
|
- Who failed their watch?
|
|
- How long before order returns?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Reliable. Blunt. Useful when things go wrong.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
He assumes civilian disorder can be corrected by command habit. This makes him poor at soft negotiation and poor at reading pride.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To prove that discipline can create prosperity without needing birth, flattery, or fraud.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
He uses the baths methodically: cleaning, recovery, observation. He also listens for road and labor news.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Distrusts Felix's quick opportunism.
|
|
- Dislikes Lentulus's elegance but understands his access.
|
|
- Respects Secundus more than he admits.
|
|
- Underestimates Chresimus because the scribe does not look dangerous.
|
|
- Finds Crispus formally impressive but structurally unreliable.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Varro should be the first voice to convert smoke into logistics.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> Do not ask what burned. Ask which gate, yard, or road is now slower.
|
|

# 3.2 Lucius Fabius Felix
|
|
## Freedman Trader
|
|
|
|
### Canonical Background
|
|
|
|
`BACKGROUND-0002-freedman-trader`
|
|
|
|
### Age
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Freedman. Citizen status depends on manumission context; in practical OTIVM use, he has enough legal standing to trade but faces social ceilings.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Formerly attached to the household or commercial orbit of the Fabii. Now independent, but still socially marked by servile origin.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Learned trade from below: carrying, counting, bargaining, listening, waiting outside rooms where decisions were made. Knows what respectable men ignore.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Works small margins across market streets, riverfront storage, and prepared-food networks. Keeps liquid capital low because capital is constantly moving.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- alert eyes
|
|
- quick smile used defensively
|
|
- tunic better than his means justify
|
|
- hands always doing something: counting, folding, tapping
|
|
- watches who pretends not to notice him
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Fast, ironic, adaptive.
|
|
|
|
He speaks in examples, prices, and reversals. He is good at making a dangerous idea sound like common sense.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Mispricing.
|
|
|
|
Felix asks:
|
|
|
|
- What has fear made cheap?
|
|
- What will respectable men avoid?
|
|
- Who needs cash now?
|
|
- What can be bought before the story hardens?
|
|
- Who is too proud to pick up value from ashes?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Capable, ambitious, underestimated.
|
|
|
|
Some call him useful. Some call him slippery. Both are true depending on terms.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
Social prejudice limits his legal protection. He may win the bargain and still lose the dispute.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To become too useful to dismiss.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
The BALNEA lets Felix hear men speak more freely than they would in formal settings. He goes to listen as much as to bathe.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Trades insults with Varro, but would trust him on a dangerous road.
|
|
- Resents Lentulus's effortless access.
|
|
- Knows Crispus is weaker than he appears.
|
|
- Likes Secundus because practical men create practical deals.
|
|
- Fears Chresimus's memory.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Felix should be the voice of salvage, stigma, and ignored opportunity.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> Smoke makes gentlemen cautious. Caution makes prices foolish.
|
|

# 3.3 Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor
|
|
## Noble Younger Son
|
|
|
|
### Canonical Background

|
|
|
`BACKGROUND-0003-noble-younger-son`
|
|
|
|
### Age
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Freeborn Roman citizen of elite family connection.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Younger son of a respectable but financially strained branch. High name, limited liquid capital.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Educated for status. Raised among names, introductions, obligations, and the assumption that access precedes action.
|
|
|
|
He has been taught how to be received, not how to earn.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Temporarily resident under family connection, patron arrangement, or private lodging that costs more than he should spend. His appearance is maintained beyond his liquidity.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- clean, composed, deliberately unhurried
|
|
- careful grooming
|
|
- speaks as though witnesses matter
|
|
- avoids looking surprised
|
|
- treats discomfort as something lower men should notice first
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Elegant, indirect, socially coded.
|
|
|
|
He rarely names greed. He names family, reputation, timing, and propriety.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Access.
|
|
|
|
Lentulus asks:
|
|
|
|
- Whose name is attached?
|
|
- Which family is exposed?
|
|
- Who can be introduced?
|
|
- Which offer must not appear desperate?
|
|
- What can be done without looking like trade?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Well-born. Watched. Expected to succeed, but not yet proven.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
He underestimates operational cost. He mistakes access for execution.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To convert inherited name into independent standing before family patience ends.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
He must be seen. The baths are public enough to maintain standing without requiring private hospitality.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Treats Varro as useful but blunt.
|
|
- Underestimates Felix while quietly needing men like him.
|
|
- Uses Crispus as a warning and possible tool.
|
|
- Finds Secundus embarrassing but informative.
|
|
- Knows Chresimus may understand his finances too well.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Lentulus should be the voice of names, access, and reputational consequence.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> Before you buy bronze, learn whose name is in the smoke.

# 3.4 Gaius Licinius Crispus
|
|
## Failed Magistrate
|
|
|
|
### Canonical Background
|
|
|
|
`BACKGROUND-0004-failed-magistrate`
|
|
|
|
### Age
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Roman citizen.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Former municipal officeholder or local magistrate whose career stalled after debt, scandal, factional defeat, or visible misjudgment.
|
|
|
|
He still has forms of access. He no longer has unquestioned trust.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Knew petitions, witnesses, small offices, tax pressure, permits, and signatures. Once stood where others waited.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Keeps respectable appearance under strain. Creditors know his patterns. Friends have become careful.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- older than he wants to appear
|
|
- formal bearing
|
|
- controlled voice
|
|
- clothing maintained, not new
|
|
- watches who fails to greet him
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Measured, legalistic, aphoristic.
|
|
|
|
He speaks as if every statement could later be repeated before a magistrate.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Obligation and enforceability.
|
|
|
|
Crispus asks:
|
|
|
|
- Who holds the permit?
|
|
- Who holds the debt?
|
|
- Who witnessed the agreement?
|
|
- What can be delayed?
|
|
- Who can be pressured without public scandal?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Connected, compromised, still dangerous.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
His perceived AVCTORITAS is higher than his true AVCTORITAS. He may not know how much confidence has already drained away.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To engineer one recovery so clean that men must treat him as useful again.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
The BALNEA lets him appear active, informed, and still within public society. Absence would be noticed.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Finds Varro crude but useful.
|
|
- Knows Felix sees through him.
|
|
- Flatters Lentulus carefully.
|
|
- Dismisses Secundus until supply facts embarrass him.
|
|
- Fears Chresimus's ledgers.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Crispus should be the voice of debt, permits, and consequences after the visible event.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> Fire is brief. Rebuilding is where men ruin themselves.
|
|

`BACKGROUND-0005-camp-logistician`
|
|
|
|
### Age
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Free man with military-adjacent service history. Could be a citizen veteran, contractor's aide, or long-serving supply clerk attached to army logistics.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Operationally valuable, socially plain. Knows supply systems, not salons.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Worked around camps, roads, fodder, grain, carts, storage, requisition, and improvised repair. Learned that armies and markets both fail at the point of replacement stock.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Lives close to haulers, stables, or warehouses. Maintains practical contacts among animal handlers, porters, and men who know which carts are actually sound.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- heavy hands
|
|
- practical tunic
|
|
- smells faintly of animals, oil, rope, or storage
|
|
- counts without seeming to count
|
|
- notices worn wheels, tired mules, and hungry crews
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Dry, concrete, unsentimental.
|
|
|
|
He dislikes moralizing over facts. He asks for counts, distances, and replacement intervals.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Supply timing.
|
|
|
|
Secundus asks:
|
|
|
|
- What stock is missing?
|
|
- How many carts remain?
|
|
- Who is hungry?
|
|
- How long before replacement arrives?
|
|
- Which buyer cannot wait?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Practical, efficient, unglamorous.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
His blunt practicality offends people whose cooperation depends on being flattered.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To become visibly indispensable to men who currently treat him as background labor.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
Baths are one of the few places he can overhear high-status panic and low-status facts in the same hour.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Respects Varro's discipline but thinks soldiers simplify supply.
|
|
- Finds Felix useful because he moves fast.
|
|
- Irritates Lentulus by ignoring status cues.
|
|
- Sees Crispus as paperwork with legs.
|
|
- Trades quiet data with Chresimus.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Secundus should be the voice of dependencies and replacement stock.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> Count the carts. Count the handles. Count the men who cannot work tomorrow.
|

### Age
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
|
### Legal Status
|
|
|
|
Likely freedman or freedman's son. Attached to a COLLEGIUM or commercial association as clerk, accounts keeper, or document handler.
|
|
|
|
### Social Position
|
|
|
|
Low formal power, high informational value.
|
|
|
|
Men who dismiss him often later discover he remembers exact numbers.
|
|
|
|
### Former Life
|
|
|
|
Learned accounts, contracts, receipts, names, collateral, and the difference between what men say they own and what their ledgers show.
|
|
|
|
### Current Condition in Ostia
|
|
|
|
Works near records, warehouse accounts, collegium business, or contract witnesses. Lives modestly but knows more about solvency than wealthier men.
|
|
|
|
### Physical Presence
|
|
|
|
- ink-stained fingers
|
|
- controlled hands
|
|
- quiet voice
|
|
- rarely interrupts
|
|
- looks at pauses more than faces
|
|
|
|
### Speech Style
|
|
|
|
Soft, exact, dangerous when pressed.
|
|
|
|
He speaks in corrections, not speeches. One sentence from him can change the room.
|
|
|
|
### Economic Lens
|
|
|
|
Records.
|
|
|
|
Chresimus asks:
|
|
|
|
- Who owed money before the fire?
|
|
- What was pledged?
|
|
- Which goods were insured by promise, not coin?
|
|
- Which account no longer balances?
|
|
- Who benefits from destroyed records?
|
|
|
|
### Public Reputation
|
|
|
|
Useful, informed, not fully trusted.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Weakness
|
|
|
|
Physical intimidation works on him more than he wants others to know.
|
|
|
|
### Hidden Ambition
|
|
|
|
To turn knowledge of accounts into command over outcomes.
|
|
|
|
### Why Present at the BALNEA
|
|
|
|
The BALNEA gives him unrecorded speech to compare against recorded obligations.
|
|
|
|
### Relationship Hooks
|
|
|
|
- Knows Varro's accounts are too simple.
|
|
- Knows Felix is sharper than respectable men admit.
|
|
- Suspects Lentulus spends beyond his purse.
|
|
- Has seen Crispus's debts or something close enough.
|
|
- Values Secundus because supply men confirm numbers with reality.
|
|
|
|
### Prologue Use
|
|
|
|
Chresimus should be the voice that makes the room quieter.
|
|
|
|
Typical line constraint:
|
|
|
|
> The ashes will tell less than the accounts.
|
|

## 6. Prologue Placement
|
|
|
|
Use these figures in `SCENARIO-MERCHANT-0000`.
|
|
|
|
The participant should hear them discuss one uncertain inciting topic, preferably the default forge smoke from `SCENARIO-MERCHANT-0001`.
|
|
|
|
The scene should not provide biography exposition. Character should be inferred from:
|
|
|
|
- what each notices first
|
|
- who each interrupts
|
|
- who each refuses to answer
|
|
- whose words shift the room
|
|
- what each assumes money is
|
|

## 7. Participant Choice Mapping
|
|
|
|
| Chosen Perspective | Character | Background |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| blocked routes / movement discipline | Marcus Atilius Varro | Former Legionary |
|
|
| mispriced fear / salvage | Lucius Fabius Felix | Freedman Trader |
|
|
| names / access / reputation | Quintus Cornelius Lentulus Minor | Noble Younger Son |
|
|
| permits / debts / enforceability | Gaius Licinius Crispus | Failed Magistrate |
|
|
| carts / stock / replacement timing | Titus Varenus Secundus | Camp Logistician |
|
|
| accounts / collateral / hidden insolvency | Publius Terentius Chresimus | Guild Scribe |
|

## 8. Dialogue Design Constraints
|
|
|
|
The six should not speak equally.
|
|
|
|
A realistic prologue may have:
|
|
|
|
- Felix speak first
|
|
- Varro cut through noise
|
|
- Lentulus redirect toward names
|
|
- Crispus warn of legal consequences
|
|
- Secundus reduce the room to logistics
|
|
- Chresimus end the exchange with one quiet fact
|
|
|
|
The participant should not feel they are choosing from six speeches.
|
|
They should feel they are choosing which interpretation of reality to trust.
|

## 9. Visual and Sensory Anchors
|
|
|
|
Keep sensory description brief and functional.
|
|
|
|
Use details that reveal social position:
|
|
|
|
- Varro folds his towel with military precision
|
|
- Felix keeps his purse tied under the inner fold
|
|
- Lentulus has oil better than his purse warrants
|
|
- Crispus adjusts old but costly fabric
|
|
- Secundus scrapes mud from under a cracked nail
|
|
- Chresimus protects a wax tablet from steam
|
|
|
|
Do not over-describe.

## 10. Economic Meaning of Each Figure
|
|
|
|
| Character | Money Means |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Varro | capacity to move under pressure |
|
|
| Felix | value before respectability sees it |
|
|
| Lentulus | access shaped into advantage |
|
|
| Crispus | enforceable obligation |
|
|
| Secundus | replacement stock at the right time |
|
|
| Chresimus | recorded claim over future action |
|
|
|
|
This table is the interpretive core of the cast.

## 11. Repository Use
|
|
|
|
Internal simulation substrate. Not final player-facing dialogue.
|
|
|
|
Use this document to support:
|
|
|
|
- prologue dialogue drafting
|
|
- character voice consistency
|
|
- background selection UI
|
|
- NPC reuse
|
|
- actor relation modelling
|
|
- future faction and CLIENTELA systems
|

## 12. Canonical Success Condition
|
|
|
|
If the participant remembers not six stat profiles but six ways money becomes power, then this cast is functioning correctly.
