Plot:
You, the main character, play a young woman who has been brought back to the past to try and stop Julius Caesar from being assassinated! Whether you actually save him or not is up to you as you interact with other people to find out the real reasons for everyone's actions!
Disclaimer:
I may portray Ancient Rome as being more beautiful than it was, as the main character is going to be mostly around wealthy Romans. Some small historical differences might come up in the story. xD Some intentional and some not. Some ages have been brought down slightly(or a little more as you will see)! xD Mostly they are around 5 years younger just for this novel. :3 This a historical fiction afterall!

Main Character:
Name: It will be chosen by you.
Age: 21 years old

"Friend":

Emperor:
Name: Julius Caesar
Age: 50
Description: He is a serious, ambitious man who is a little bit distracted at times. He is very goal-oriented and stubborn at times. I'm still tweaking his personality some more at the moment. xD

Slave:
Name: Marcipor
Age: 19
Description: A slave that has been serving Mark Antony and Caesar for a very long time. He is shy and doesn't like all the attention that some women give him. It's probably because he is the only slave that is old enough to be flirted with and young enough to still be attractive in their eyes. He is always helpful and kind, but is this just because he is forced to be that way?
My friend wants everyone to know that this is her first drawing of a man... so yeah... xD Comments are still appreciated?
Potential Assassin? + Politician
Name: Marcus Junius Brutus
Age: 36
Description: He is a quiet person, often keeping his emotions in check. There are a few subjects that can make his blood boil, but it is really rare that he actually screams or insults someone. He only really talks with the people in the Senate and with Caesar.

Politician and a General
Name: Mark Antony
Age: 34
Description: He is a man who loves the attention that he gets in the Senate and generally just likes to live life to the fullest. He goes to different events and loves discussing all kinds of subjects with the people he's with.
+ There will be about 2 endings for each character and the story will represent a week-worth of events. This will be a mystery, action, romance and a "sort of" slice of life story! +

Auro-Cyanide: The Awesome Logo! (As seen in my signature and the top of this post! ) Also, it's going to be used for the new and improved menu!
I may be looking for some help with my backgrounds later, as I am really bad at shading and changing the look to fit the time... (For example, showing a night time version of a room).
Any and all suggestions for improvement of the characters or the initial story idea will be loved and considered!
