Cultural transformation is also often seen. The OC emperor might introduce new ideas or technologies, which can either be welcomed or resisted by the people. For example, he could try to change the religious beliefs or the way the military is organized. There's also the theme of legacy. The emperor wants to leave a great mark on the Roman Empire, so he undertakes grand projects like building new monuments or expanding the empire's territory. This not only affects the current state of the empire but also how it will be remembered in history.
Sure. 'The Reign of Aurelius' is a great one. It has a well - developed original character as the Roman emperor, with interesting political intrigue and battles.
Another theme is redemption. The OC could be a character who has made mistakes in the past and Roman Reigns plays a part in their journey to redemption. This can involve them getting a second chance in the wrestling world or in their personal lives.
First, do your research on Roman history, culture, and society. This will make your story more authentic. Know about the social hierarchy, the roles of different genders, and the daily life in Rome. Second, create well - developed original characters. Give them unique personalities, goals, and flaws. For example, your OC could be a shy but brilliant Roman architect who falls for a bold gladiator. Third, build a strong plot around the star - crossed lovers concept. Maybe they meet by chance at a grand Roman festival and are immediately attracted to each other, but then face numerous obstacles like family opposition or a political conspiracy that tries to keep them apart.
Love and attraction are also very common themes. The OC and Roman Reigns usually start off as strangers and gradually fall in love. In some fanfictions, it's a slow - burn romance where they first develop a friendship and then it turns into something more. For instance, they might start as colleagues who support each other during tough matches and over time realize their feelings for each other.
Another theme is family. Given Roman Reigns' strong family ties in the WWE, the OC might get involved with his family in some way. Maybe the OC helps Roman protect his family legacy or becomes part of his extended family within the story's universe. This theme helps to create a deeper connection between the characters and the overall WWE setting.
Power and leadership. Naruto, as a character with great power in the Naruto universe, is often placed in a position of Roman - style leadership in these fictions. So, the theme of how he wields power and what kind of leader he becomes is common.
One popular 'Roman Reigns OC Fanfiction' is 'The Ascent of the Outcast'. It has an interesting plot where the original character (OC) teams up with Roman Reigns to take on a common enemy in the WWE universe. The story does a great job of integrating the OC's backstory with the existing WWE storylines.
A frequent theme is the idea of sacrifice. Characters in star - crossed Roman OC fanfiction may have to sacrifice their own desires, status, or even their lives for the sake of their love. Maybe an OC is a Vestal Virgin who is in love with a common man. In Roman society, Vestal Virgins had a very important and restricted role, and falling in love was a serious transgression. So, she would have to sacrifice her position and the honor associated with it if she chose to pursue her love. Also, the theme of adventure and discovery can be found. As the characters try to be together, they might embark on adventures, exploring different parts of the Roman Empire or encountering new cultures.
It could be really interesting. Maybe Harry Potter somehow gets transported to the Roman Empire era and has to deal with the politics and power struggles there while also having his magical abilities. He could use magic in ways that shock the Romans, like using a spell to stop a gladiator fight or something.
