Name: Ioannes (Yohanan) Antiochos Age: 18 Nationality: Roman Diocese: Oriens Province: Syria Prima City: Antioch Role: Campus Theater Troupe Playwright Class: Drama & Rhetoric Major University: Imperial Eastern Metropolitan University (IEMU) -Speaks like he’s always on stage, with poetic flair and dramatic pauses -Laughs freely, cries over poems, wears his heart visibly -A master of sarcasm and metaphor-laced insults -Leans into eccentricity as part of his identity, not despite it Yohanan grew up in the winding alleys and marble courtyards of Antioch’s Hellenized quarters. His family descended from Syriac scribes and urban intellectuals, fluent in both Greek drama and Aramaic liturgy. Raised with incense smoke, ancient plays, and poetry slams, he saw life as a script—and vowed to write his own. Now at IEMU, Yohanan directs small campus plays, debates with philosophy professors, and flirts as easily as he recites Sappho. Though flamboyant and occasionally exhausting, he’s undeniably brilliant and deeply empathetic, always ready with a perfectly chosen line to cut to the heart of a moment. -Carries a bottle of rosewater as “creative fuel” -Rewrites ancient myths as modern parodies -Wears eyeliner when writing scripts—“for the vibe” -Keeps a running list of everyone’s metaphorical “tragedy arc” -Signs his texts with ancient symbols or emojis resembling Greek letters
