TNGF
SELECTED
City Guard Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of battle, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His short, dark brown hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing hazel eyes are sharp with vigilance. His stance is commanding, exuding authority and experience.
Young Soldier
primary
A lean youth of about 18 years, with tousled dark hair and a face still soft with youth. His hands tremble slightly as he grips his spear, and there's a fresh scratch across his cheek from a near-miss arrow. His eyes dart between the gate and his captain, betraying his inexperience.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with a soot-streaked face and heavily calloused hands. His muscular arms bear old burn scars from years at the forge. His thick beard is flecked with gray and partially singed at the edges.
Wounded Defender
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, lean but muscular from years of training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a deep gash on his forehead. His left arm hangs limp, a crude bandage soaked through with blood wrapped around his upper arm where an arrow struck. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder, revealing a bruised and battered body beneath.
Town Elder
secondary
A stooped man in his late 60s with thinning white hair and a long, well-groomed beard. His face is deeply lined from years of leadership, with sharp blue eyes that still hold authority. He leans slightly on an ornate walking stick carved with Brescian motifs.
