TNGF
SELECTED
Hubert de Burgh
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late forties, with a weathered face marked by years of command at sea. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, and his short, graying beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword and gripping ship ropes.
French Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His hands are calloused from years of handling ropes and weapons, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
English Sailor
secondary
A rugged man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a muscular build from years of hard labor at sea. His short, dark hair is tousled by the wind, and his piercing blue eyes are sharp with focus. A fresh scar runs across his left cheek, a testament to recent battles.
French Sailor
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, wiry and sunburnt from long hours at sea. His dark hair is matted with salt spray, and his hands are calloused from rope work. His eyes are wide with fear, darting between the chaos of the battle and the commanding figure of the French Captain.
Archer
background
A wiry English archer in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a focused gaze. His arms are sinewy from years of drawing longbows, and his stance is steady despite the rocking of the ship.
