TNGF
SELECTED
Christian of Mainz
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a short, well-trimmed beard, and his sun-browned skin bears the scars of previous battles. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, and his posture exudes authority.
Militia Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His muscular build shows years of physical labor and combat. A fresh cut on his cheek bleeds slightly, and sweat drips from his brow.
Imperial Knight
secondary
A heavily armored knight in his late 20s to early 30s, with a muscular build from years of training and combat. His face is partially obscured by his great helm, but glimpses reveal a strong jawline and a short, dark beard. His armor is a mix of chainmail and early plate, with a surcoat bearing the colors of the Holy Roman Empire.
Militia Spearman
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties with sun-burned skin and a patchy beard. His arms show the lean muscle of a laborer, and his knuckles are scarred from years of farm work before taking up arms. His left ear is partially missing from a previous skirmish.
Imperial Archer
background
A lean, weathered man in his late 30s with sun-browned skin and a close-cropped beard. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing a longbow, and his keen eyes squint against the sun as he takes aim. A faded scar runs along his left cheekbone, a souvenir from past battles.
