TNGF
SELECTED
Christian of Mainz
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 40s, with a strong, broad-shouldered build and a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray, and his hair is cropped short in the clerical fashion, though now disheveled from battle. His hands are calloused from both prayer and swordplay.
Roman Militia Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and a thick beard frames his square jaw. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His piercing hazel eyes scan the battlefield with a mix of determination and weariness.
Imperial Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened German knight in his early 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheek. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a short, unkempt beard and a mop of dirty blonde hair. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword and reins.
Militia Spearman
secondary
A rugged Roman citizen-soldier in his late 20s, with a wiry but strong build from years of labor and militia training. His face is sun-weathered, with a fresh scar across his left cheekbone from recent skirmishes. Dark, curly hair is matted with sweat beneath his simple iron helmet.
Imperial Archer
background
A lean, wiry German bowman in his late 20s, with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing heavy war bows, and his keen eyes squint against the sun as he takes aim. A faded scar runs along his left cheekbone, likely from a past skirmish.
Dialog
Christian of Mainz
In nomine Patris, advance the left flank! These Roman dogs shall learn the price of rebellion against the Emperor's divine will!
Roman Militia Captain
Hold the line, you sons of Romulus! Let these German curs break their teeth on Roman steel!
Militia Spearman
By Jupiter's balls, boss - their knights are pushing hard on the right!
Christian of Mainz
Deo volente, our cavalry shall crush their rabble. Chancellor! Sound the charge!
Roman Militia Captain
Like grapes in a press, boys - tighter formation! Their horses fear our spears!
Militia Spearman
Aye, but my arm's getting heavy as Vulcan's hammer...
Roman Militia Captain
Then let Mars lend you strength! For Rome and liberty!
