The annual Roman Toga Bash at the opulent Pompey Palace Resort is the crowning jewel of Gothica City’s social season. This year, anticipation has reached a fever pitch as guests prepare to dazzle in their most imaginative toga creations, each hoping to outshine the rest in an unspoken contest of glamour, wit, and flair.
Every ticket sold out within hours, guaranteeing that the grand halls of the Pompey Palace will soon overflow with the city’s most spirited and stylish residents. As guests glide down the red carpet beneath the glow of marble columns and golden torchlight, the air will shimmer with excitement — and, perhaps, a trace of rivalry.
While the night promises laughter, lavish feasts, and indulgent games, whispers of blackmail, betrayal, and scandal swirl through the corridors like perfumed smoke. Beneath the laughter and clinking goblets, some attendees may find themselves tangled in intrigue rather than revelry.
You, a bearer of one of the coveted tickets, stand at the threshold of this glittering chaos. Whether you’re swept into the night’s mysteries or simply bask in the splendor of the celebration, one thing is certain — this will be an evening you’ll never forget.

Guest List
AMELIA CRANX
Mathematics Professor
Amelia Cranx, the sharp-tongued mathematician of Gothica University, calculates faster than most can blink—and gossips even faster. Recently dubbed The Gossip of Gothica, Amelia makes others uneasy with unpredictable mood swings and a reputation for spilling secrets. Somehow, she always secures a golden ticket to every exclusive event, including the coveted Pompey Palace Roman Toga Bash.
Amelia’s luck hasn’t been great — last week’s hailstorm left her property looking like a battlefield. But she’s not letting a little chaos keep her down! She’s dusted herself off, grabbed her toga, and scored a ticket to the bash.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Classic Roman toga. Hair styled in a nerdy fashion—think sleek pigtails or precision braids. White socks, dark shoes, and an optional calculator complete the look.
OMARI SHADY
Artist
Omari Shady, the wildly creative artist of Gothic City, paints brilliance into chaos. This paintbrush-wielding diva obsesses over every tiny detail and demands perfection, which might explain why Omari’s masterpieces adorn walls across the city. Inspiration may come in storms, but the results are pure artistry.
With a new art museum opening in Gothica City, Omari’s clients are growing anxious — what if their favorite artist trades the studio for a corner office? Omari’s creations have become the heartbeat of the city’s art scene, and no one wants to imagine Gothica City without them.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Trendy Roman toga made of bold fabric. Hair should be eclectic and delightfully messy. Optional props: colorful markers and a sketchpad.
Many of your sculptures that you've created are pictured below - keep scrolling!
BLUSH FRENZ
Cosmetologist
Blush Frenz, the notoriously rude cosmetologist from the Pompey Palace Hair Salon, never misses an opportunity to insult, interrupt, or intrude. Known as a habitual party crasher, Blush Frenz has once again managed to snag a ticket to the Pompey Palace Roman Toga Bash—to everyone’s dismay.
Rumor has it Blush is on the hunt for a new job — not just another salon gig, but a whole new career altogether. What kind of cosmetologist would toss the curling iron aside and trade in the hair bleach for something completely different?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with elaborate hair and dramatic makeup. Optional props include a makeup kit, brushes, and combs.
PIZZY TANKUS
Guitarist, Vocalist - Armpit Anguish
Pizzy Tankus, the antisocial guitarist and lead vocalist of the band Armpit Anguish, channels rage into rhythm. Anger issues and biting judgment make every rehearsal a ticking time bomb. Add in an extreme fear of germs, and personal space becomes a strict, unbreakable rule.
Pizzy founded the band by posting ads in the local paper, but what formed was less a harmonious group and more a collective united by one thing — a growing dislike for Pizzy. Unfortunately for everyone involved, vocalists, bassists, drummers, and rhythm guitarists are scarce in Gothica City, so the tension will have to simmer. With a touch of viral fame from social media and local gigs, the band is now gearing up for its first world tour — whether they like each other or not.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga paired with wild Glam Rock hair and bold makeup. A guitar (real or fake) makes a great prop—along with a bottle of hand sanitizer, of course.
Your band's last two releases are below - keep scrolling! If you're up to it - make a music video on social media and include #ArmpitAnguish #MyMysteryParty. Please, no spoilers of the mystery party, though!
DR. FUREN FEATHERS
Veterinarian
Furen Feathers, the self-proclaimed expert on everything, never misses a chance to “one-up” a story. Whatever you’ve done, Furen has already done it better, louder, and thrice over. As the newest arrival to Gothica City, few truly know the real Dr. Furen Feathers—and perhaps that’s intentional.
Dr. Feathers wasted no time establishing a sleek, modern veterinary clinic right in the heart of town. With the longtime local vet retiring after fifty years of service to Gothica City’s animals, Dr. Feathers quickly found the clinic bustling with a steady stream of finned, feathered, and furry patients.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with optional stethoscope and latex exam gloves. A subtle nod to “doctor knows best.”
GINGO CROWNLY
Dental Receptionist
Gingo Crownly, the peculiar receptionist of Gothica Dental, greets visitors with an eerie smile and a constant whistle. Conversations drift into awkward silence under Gingo’s unblinking stare. Since the dental office is the best one in town, every resident eventually faces this unnerving encounter.
Rumor has it that Gingo offers big discounts if you pay for your dental visit in cash. Many townsfolk of Gothica City are ditching their dental insurance.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga accented with a nametag reading Gothica Dental. Optional props: new toothbrushes, dental floss, or other dental tools.
BASE ZOLANDY
Model
Base Zolandy, the self-absorbed print model for Klein Calvin underwear, treats the world like a mirror. With a strange aversion to the color orange and a dream of conquering runway modeling, Base critiques every outfit within sight. Fashion advice, wanted or not, always follows.
Base dreams of making it to the Paris and New York fashion runways — where the avant-garde outfits look like Halloween costumes crafted by first graders with glitter glue, PVC pipes, and hope. Recently, Base launched social media accounts and is working hard to build an influencer persona, but maybe Base's personality isn't cut out for it?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Fashion-forward Roman toga. Designer shoes, flawless hair, and an air of runway confidence are essential.
JACKIE BEAN
Chief Financial Officer, Pompey Palace Resort
Jackie Bean, the conspiracy-minded Chief Financial Officer of the Pompey Palace Resort, balances ledgers and paranoia with equal skill. Friendly but fixated, Jackie often rants about secret government plots. Rumor has it that Jackie covers windows in foil—just in case.
Some say Jackie even encrypts grocery lists, convinced the produce section is bugged. Despite the quirks, the numbers always add up—almost suspiciously well. Many people are starting to come around to believe that Jackie might just be right.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga paired with reading glasses. Optional props include a business ledger, calculator, and a piece of aluminum foil—just in case.
BIFF ADKINS
Personal Trainer, Gothica Athletic Center
Biff Adkins, the muscle-bound trainer from Gothica Athletic Center, flexes both ego and strength in equal measure. Fresh out of high school and fond of Gingo Crownly’s company, Biff carries a notorious reputation as a former bully—and old habits die hard.
Biff's girlfriend recently dumped him after dating a few years. Those closest to Biff report that he had no idea the breakup was on the horizon and he's not doing well. Let's hope that his ex, who is on the list as a ticket holder, doesn't actually attend the toga party.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with athletic flair. Optional props include workout resistance bands and business cards for Gothica Athletic Training Center.
OZ MANSON
Escaped Inmate
Oz Manson, the unnervingly cheerful escapee from Gothica City Prison, hides a dark past behind a charming smile. Despite gothic fashion and a criminal record, Oz Manson remains one of the kindest souls in town—or so it seems.
Oz grew up in Gothica City and knows many of the locals, but had vanished for a long period of time, soon after graduating high school. Suddenly, Oz has shown back up in town and many have spotted their old pal around town, but nobody knows where Oz has been all these years.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga that looks shredded, worn, and a little grimy. Toy handcuffs on one wrist or fake shackles at the ankle make perfect props.
LIRON CORALS
Retired Fisherman, Owner of Gothica Marina
Liron Corals, the retired fisherman and proud owner of Gothica Marina, hoards wealth like treasure and privacy like gold. Charging outrageous docking fees, Liron keeps the town at arm’s length. Nobody has ever been invited inside the Corals Mansion on the hill, fueling endless speculation about what—or who—lurks within.
Scandal has been swirling around the marina lately, with several boat owners complaining to Liron about items mysteriously vanishing from their vessels. Liron, however, insists the marina’s security is airtight and maintains that anything missing must have disappeared after the boats left their slips. Still, whispers around the docks suggest something fishy is going on—and it’s not just the catch of the day.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with nautical charm. Optional props include a captain’s hat and harmless fishing lures.
ALAZNE ANTHONY
Gothica University Registrar
Alazne Anthony, the tyrannical Registrar of Gothica University, rules the admissions office with an iron pen. Once a feared high school bully, Alazne’s old habits persist in new forms—mostly involving rejection letters and bureaucratic power trips.
Nobody can figure out why Alazne has been rejecting top applicants while admitting students with suspiciously weak records — lackluster essays, low test scores, and questionable transcripts. Faculty and staff are baffled, and rumors are swirling. Is it corruption, a secret agenda, or just a bizarre new admissions experiment gone wrong?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with slightly over-the-top hair and makeup. Optional prop: university recruitment materials for Gothica University.
DAFINA ADEL
Social Media Consultant
Dafina Adel, the brilliant yet obsessive social media consultant, runs life like a carefully curated feed. Intelligent, loyal, and reliable, Dafina makes a devoted friend—as long as everything stays perfectly organized. A single unscheduled post or typo can send Dafina into a quiet spiral of panic. Color-coded calendars, filtered photos, and perfectly timed captions are nonnegotiable. Behind the flawless aesthetic, though, beats the heart of someone who just wants a little control in the chaos.
Dafina has a growing client list in Gothica City, so hopefully all of her clients can follow her instructions on how to become successful on their platforms. It would be a shame to have so many people flop in her hometown. It would certainly make it awkward waiting in line at the coffee shop.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga accessorized with a smartphone—preferably displaying social media apps.
OFFICER NELSON
Police Officer
Officer Nelson, the gruff enforcer of Gothica City, exudes intimidation at every turn. Despite a frosty personality and lack of charm, Officer Nelson remains one of the city’s most decorated officers. Whether through valor or sheer fear, everyone at the precinct follows every order without question.
However, few know that beneath the tough exterior lies a mischievous streak — the kind that swaps sugar for salt in the breakroom or replaces the chief’s coffee with decaf. The pranks are usually subtle, harmless, and always anonymous. Some whisper that Officer Nelson can keep a straight face through any interrogation - silly or serious.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga enhanced with a police hat and badge. Get Gothica City Police gear to enhance your look.
OFFICER NELSON’S COLLEAGUE
Police Officer
Officer Nelson is rarely seen without a troupe of fellow officers. The squad moves as one — polished badges, synchronized strides, and an unspoken agreement to take their coffee breaks very seriously.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional to wear a police hat and police badge on the toga. Get Gothica City Police gear to enhance your look.
DRAGAN RUNAKO
Website Designer
Dragan Runako, the web designer of Gothica City, is both a genius and a narcissist in one impossible package. Brilliant designs and unbearable arrogance come standard in every project. Unfortunately, anyone needing a website must endure the ego that builds it.
Dragan firmly believes that no reflection could ever do justice to such perfection. Every mirror, camera lens, and glass surface becomes an opportunity for admiration. According to Dragan, the true masterpiece isn’t the website — it’s the creator.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga with intricate hair and makeup. A handheld mirror makes the perfect accessory.
PAT COURIC
Reporter, CBC News
Pat Couric, the relentless investigative reporter for CBC News, always knows the headline before it happens. Driven, daring, and constantly trailed by a full camera crew, Pat Couric stops at nothing to get the scoop first—even if it means becoming part of the story.
CBC News isn't the primary news of Gothica City and is known more for puff pieces and boring, drawn out stories about the usual local events. Pat aspires to one day get hired at RBC News, but with a demo reel full of Ground Hog's Day shadow coverage and stories about how the pigeons are taking over Central Park - Pat doesn't stand a chance.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga fit for the press. Optional props include a microphone and a notepad. Get CBC News Gear to enhance your look.
PAT COURIC'S CREW
CBC News
Pat is rarely seen without the production crew from CBC News. The crew feels frustrated, knowing everyone is stuck at CBC TV until Pat moves to the more well-respected news station in town, RBC TV. The group operates like family and has vowed to remain a functional unit.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional microphone and notepad as props. Get CBC News Gear to enhance your look.
JAMIE BOND
Secret Agent
Jamie Bond is a secret government agent and the ultimate femme fatale. To the public, she’s the picture of high-society elegance, gliding through elite galas with effortless charm. But behind the champagne glass and dazzling smile lies a highly skilled federal operative—one who always gets the job done.
Nobody knows why Jamie has bought a ticket to the toga party in town. Jamie is usually away doing missions, outside of Gothica City. Also, many townsfolk have reported that they've seen other suspicious looking people in town who appear to also be federal agents of some sort. Has Jamie come to town with her colleagues? Or, are there other secret agents spying on Jamie?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional toy gun strapped to a leg &/or belt holster as an optional prop.
JAMIE BOND’S COLLEAGUE
Secret Agent
Jamie Bond is rarely seen without a troupe of mysterious federal agents. Don’t expect any introductions — and even if introductions happened, every name would be a fake identity, so why bother?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional toy gun strapped to a leg &/or belt holster as an optional prop.
ALOTTA BUTIES
Beauty Pageant Director and Co-Founder, Miss Northern Hemisphere Beauty Pageant System
Alotta Buties is the perfectly polished Director and Co-Founder of the Miss Northern Hemisphere Beauty Pageant System. Known for grace, poise, and unshakable integrity, she insists every contest is fair, flawless, and scandal-free. At least… that’s what she claims.
Alotta oversees the most prestigious pageant system in the world and takes that responsibility seriously. Determined to deliver a spectacle worthy of her global fanbase, Alotta has enlisted a team of semi-successful movie producers, scriptwriters, and directors to transform her pageants into a made-for-TV miniseries. She calls it “Reality with Rhinestones” — and expects every episode to sparkle brighter than a contestant’s crown.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional to create a pageant sash that says “Pageant Director” and wear over your toga.
MISS NORTHERN HEMISPHERE CONTESTANT
Beauty Pageant Contestant
Alotta Buties often travels with a dazzling entourage of beauty pageant contestants representing all fifty U.S. states — plus contestants from around the world!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional to create a pageant sash that says “Miss (you pick a locale)” and wear over your toga. If your host doesn't put your location on the invite, just run it by the host before you choose to ensure you're not picking the same as someone else on the team.
PAULA PARATSY
Tabloid Reporter, The Daily Scandal
Paula Paratsy, dubbed the Queen of the Gutter Press, is the relentless tabloid reporter who always gets the story—no matter the cost. Camera in hand and curiosity at full throttle, Paula and her crew chase every scandal, scoop, and whisper across Gothica City and beyond. If it’s private, she’s already published it.
Everyone knows Paula managed to snag a ticket to the toga bash, and that means one thing — no one can let their guard down during the party. All night long, guests will be watching every word and move, careful not to end up as a headline. With Paula lurking in her toga and notepad, even a spilled drink could become front-page drama in The Daily Scandal.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional microphone and notepad as props.
PAULA PARATSY’S CREW
Tabloid Reporting Crew
The tenacious Paula Paratsy often travels with a dedicated news team — including photographers, videographers, lighting technicians, audio engineers, producers, and field reporters.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional microphone and notepad as props.
TEX BULTAMER
Rodeo Champion
If there were ever a movie called Cowboy and a Gentleman, Tex Bultamer would be the star. A modern knight in denim and boots, Tex believes chivalry never died—it just learned to rope cattle. Straight-shooting and brutally honest, Tex always speaks his mind… sometimes to a fault.
Tex is usually off traveling the country, winning rodeo circuits, but he vowed to be in his hometown of Gothica City for the toga bash. Rumor has it that Tex might have talked many of his fellow cowboys and cowgirls to grab a toga and tag along, but time will tell if this is true.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional cowboy hat and bandana scarf.
TEX BULTAMER’S FRIENDS
Rodeo Cowboys and Cowgirls
Whether at the rodeo or out on the town, Tex Bultamer is rarely without his closest pals from the circuit. The rodeo crew rolls in like a stampede — loud, loyal, and always ready for a good time.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional cowboy hat and bandana scarf as optional accessories.
FROSTY FLAKER
Chief Executive Officer of K-Legs Cereal
Frosty Flaker is the eccentric CEO of K-Legs Cereal Corp—a former mailroom clerk turned mogul in a rags-to-riches whirlwind. With plans to expand into baseball and amusement parks, Frosty’s empire grows by the day—and so does the ego. Whether genius or lunatic depends on who’s asking.
Frosty's attitude, appearance, and opinions have changed drastically since the mailroom days. Frosty has forgotten how to be humble and caring and has become quite demanding of others - especially the staff at K-Legs Cereal, who have had their job titles changed to become Frosty's assistants.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional suit jacket is worn over the toga.
FROSTY FLAKER’S ASSISTANTS
K-Legs Cereal Corp Employees
Frost Flaker is rarely seen without an entourage of personal assistants. Rumor has it Frosty won’t even reach for a tissue without someone there to hand it over — efficiency or extravagance, depending on who you ask.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional suit jacket over your toga.
HUNTY DEERMAN
Big Game Hunter
Hunty Deerman lives a double life: fearless hunter by day, hopeless romantic poet by night. When not tracking bison through the wild, Hunty can be found under the spotlight at the Gothica Poetry Club, reciting odes to moonlight and lost love. Equal parts charm and contradiction, this hunter has range.
However, Hunty’s closest friends don’t exactly share the same enthusiasm for poetry. Every hunting trip turns into open season on Hunty’s heartfelt stanzas and haikus. While the others aim for deer, they never miss a shot at teasing Hunty for rhyming about love in the middle of the woods.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga – camouflage if you can swing it. Optional toy shotgun or binoculars as props.
HUNTY DEERMAN'S FRIEND
Big Game Hunter
Hunty Deerman hardly goes in public without his rowdy crew of fellow hunters. They’re the type to turn every grocery run into a tailgate and every conversation into a hunting story. Wherever they go, camo and chaos usually follow.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. An optional toy shotgun &/or binoculars as a prop.
MACK DOODLE
Social Media Influ-Innovator
Mack Doodle claims to have invented the term hashtag fabulous, though no one can find proof—mostly because Mack has deleted all social media posts to 'rebrand.' With a phone in one hand and a mimosa in the other, Mack will certainly be documenting every toga fold, selfie angle, and appetizer tray as if it were breaking news. Mack’s followers may be fake, but the drama Mack brings is very, very real.
Mack was the first one in line to purchase a ticket for the Pompey Palace's toga bash. That came as no surprise to anyone, as Mack was posted up in a tent in the parking lot live streaming for three days prior to when the tickets went on sale!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga. Optional smartphone or selfie stick as props. A sparkly accessory or over-the-top sunglasses complete the look.
DROCK RITZ
Luxury Bathrobe Designer
Drock Ritz is the visionary behind Bath Luxe, a luxury bathrobe line so glamorous it’s often mistaken for high fashion. With dramatic entrances and the mantra “I only wear comfort,” Drock has earned the title of the resort’s unofficial fashion icon—and its biggest menace. If Drock offers to redesign your toga at the party, beware—you might end up strutting around in a designer garbage bag before the night is over.
Drock has recently launched a new ad campaign in Rogue Magazine. Campaigns like that are not cheap, so Drock must have come into some major money since opening Bath Luxe. Maybe the cash stash was made by using actual gold in the newest bathrobe designs? Who could afford such things, anyway?
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Roman toga in plush or silky fabric. Optional measuring tape, fabric swatches, or gold bathrobe belt as props.
Armpit Anguish's Recent Tracks
Armpit Anguish is a breakout rock band from Gothica City that’s recently captured international attention through a surge of social media buzz. Known for their high-energy performances and loyal local following, the band keeps a packed schedule across Gothica City’s venues. Now, with growing global demand, Armpit Anguish is taking their sound worldwide on a newly announced international tour.
