Scene selection rules:
Use the typed scene selector as the main scene concept.
If the scene selector is blank, do not choose randomly and do not automatically choose arena combat.
Instead, analyze the attached character reference image or images and choose the Ancient Rome scene that best fits the character's face, hair, expression, pose, mood, personality, visual presence, and overall energy.
If the character feels regal, elegant, seductive, calm, noble, mysterious, refined, magical, royal, or commanding, prefer a throne, empress court, banquet, senate, temple, procession, or ceremonial scene.
If the character feels fierce, athletic, aggressive, monstrous, armored, weapon-focused, chaotic, heroic, combative, or survival-driven, an arena combat, beast spectacle, or chariot scene may be appropriate.
If multiple characters are attached, choose a scene that naturally fits the group dynamic instead of forcing every group into combat.
The automatic scene choice should feel custom-matched to the character references, not generic.
Keep the scene clearly Ancient Roman, cinematic, original, character-driven, and story-rich.
Do not copy, imitate, reference, recreate, or resemble any specific movie, television show, game, comic, franchise, actor, celebrity, public figure, copyrighted character, or famous historical portrait.
Reference handling:
Use the main attached character reference image or images as the primary identity references.
Create exactly the same number of main characters as the number of main attached character reference images.
Use every main attached character reference image as one separate individual main character.
Do not duplicate, clone, merge, remove, or ignore any main reference character.
Optional supporting reference rule:
If additional optional supporting character reference images are attached, use each extra reference once as a separate supporting character naturally integrated into the selected Ancient Rome scene.
Supporting references may become arena opponents, fellow arena fighters, attendants, servants, guards, nobles, senators, courtiers, chariot racers, animal handlers, musicians, palace staff, or other scene-appropriate Roman-era roles.
Supporting characters should remain secondary unless the selected scene clearly calls for equal group focus.
Identity preservation rules:
Preserve each attached character's face shape, facial features, hairstyle, hair colour, eye colour, expression, personality, body language, species traits, silhouette, and overall presence.
The final character must still clearly look like the attached character in the face, hair, expression, and vibe.
Use the attached reference mainly for face, hair, identity, expression, body language, and character energy.
Do not preserve the original outfit unless it already fits Ancient Rome.
Do not keep modern, fantasy, sci-fi, school, casual, tactical, futuristic, or non-Roman clothing from the reference.
Do not redesign the face or hair into a different person.
Roman clothing rule:
Fully redress every referenced character in Ancient Roman styling appropriate to the selected scene.
For court, throne, senate, banquet, procession, palace, temple, or ceremonial scenes:
Dress characters in Ancient Roman clothing such as white togas, draped linen garments, imperial robes, stolas, pallas, tunics, sandals, laurel crowns, gold jewelry, hairpins, braided hair ornaments, veils, arm cuffs, necklaces, earrings, and elegant Roman embellishments.
Use Roman hair ornaments, jewelry, gold details, and fabric styling when they enhance the character.
For arena combat scenes:
Dress every combatant in Roman arena armor, not togas.
Give every combatant visible Roman-era weapons such as a sword, spear, shield, trident, net, dagger, or other arena weapon.
Use protective gear such as leather straps, metal plates, helmets, greaves, arm guards, shoulder armor, belts, sandals, or arena wraps.
The scene must show active combat, not a static pose.
For chariot scenes:
Dress characters in Roman charioteer gear suited to speed, danger, and spectacle, with fitted Roman racing garments, straps, sandals, protective details, and dramatic wind-swept fabric.
Style rule:
Preserve the visual art style of the attached references while transforming the characters into original Ancient Rome themed versions of themselves.
If the references are anime, keep them anime. If they are stylized, keep that stylization.
Do not turn the characters photorealistic unless specifically requested.
Scene concept:
Create a 16:9 horizontal widescreen cinematic illustration based on the typed scene selector or the best-fit automatic scene choice.
The image should feel epic, regal, dramatic, luxurious, and unmistakably inspired by Ancient Rome, with strong atmosphere, readable storytelling, and premium character-focused composition.
The scene must be an original Ancient Roman-inspired fantasy-history image, not a recreation of any known film, show, game, comic, poster, book cover, celebrity portrait, actor likeness, or franchise scene.
Scene adaptation:
If the selected scene is an arena combat scene, set it in a massive Ancient Roman amphitheater with sand, stone seating, crowds, banners, and spectacle.
Arena scenes must show clear combat in progress with movement, impact, attack, defense, or tension that is readable at a glance.
If the selected scene includes animals, place them naturally in the background or secondary action unless the selected scene asks for them as the main threat.
If the selected scene includes chariots, keep them as clear Ancient Roman spectacle elements that support the scene without distracting from the main subject.
If the selected scene is a throne, court, banquet, senate, temple, or ceremonial scene, use marble columns, elevated platforms, rich drapery, Roman attendants, servants, guards, and imperial visual luxury.
If the selected scene is calm, luxurious, political, romantic, or ceremonial, make the mood immersive and elegant rather than chaotic.
Composition and camera:
Use a 16:9 horizontal cinematic composition that adapts to the size and complexity of the scene.
For single-character scenes, use a closer or medium-wide composition only if it keeps the Roman clothing, hair ornaments, props, and setting readable.
For arena combat, large court scenes, processions, chariot scenes, or multi-character scenes, pull the camera farther back to fit the action, environment, and all important characters.
If supporting character references are included, widen the composition further so the group fits naturally without crowding.
The more main or supporting characters included, the more the camera should pull back.
Prioritize a wider medium shot, full-body shot, or large environmental shot whenever needed for readability.
Keep every main character visible, readable, and separated in silhouette.
Do not force a close shot if it cuts off characters, clothing, weapons, animals, chariots, attendants, or action.
Environment:
Build the environment around the selected scene.
Use Ancient Roman architecture, marble, sandstone, arches, columns, banners, imperial motifs, sculptural details, arena sand, bronze, gold, draped fabrics, palace interiors, throne platforms, temple spaces, or monumental city elements where appropriate.
The background should feel cinematic and atmospheric while supporting the characters.
Lighting and mood:
Use lighting that matches the selected scene.
For arena scenes, use strong sunlight, dusty haze, hard contrast, and dramatic rim light.
For palace, throne, banquet, senate, or court scenes, use warm golden light, soft glow, elegant shadows, candlelight, or sunlight through columns.
For ritual or night scenes, use torchlight, firelight, moonlight, incense haze, or atmospheric glow.
The mood should feel epic, regal, dramatic, and immersive.
Quality and rendering:
Polished, premium-quality stylized illustration with clean linework, crisp rendering, readable forms, strong character acting, rich Ancient Roman atmosphere, and clear composition.
Keep the strongest detail concentrated on the referenced characters, their faces, hair, Roman clothing, and the selected scene's main action or mood.
Do not:
Do not ignore the SCENE SELECTOR.
Do not choose arena combat automatically for every character.
Do not choose randomly if the scene selector is blank.
Do not force refined, noble, elegant, romantic, soft, or royal-looking characters into arena combat unless the user asks for it.

Do not use the likeness of any real person.
Do not make the image look like a poster, still frame, costume design, or scene from an existing film or franchise.

Do not duplicate, clone, merge, remove, or ignore any attached reference character.
Do not change the face, hair, expression, or identity of the attached reference characters.
