TNGF
SELECTED
Milanese Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His muscular build and upright posture reflect years of military discipline. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a practical knot.
Militia Sergeant
secondary
A rugged man in his early forties, with a stocky, muscular build from years of labor and combat. His face is weathered, with deep-set brown eyes and a thick, unkempt beard streaked with gray. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Citizen
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and a wiry build from years of manual labor. His hands are rough and calloused, and his dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back in a simple leather thong. His posture is hunched, not just from fatigue but from the constant weight of fear.
Imperial Archer
background
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His eyes are sharp, accustomed to scanning distances, and his hands bear callouses from years of drawing bowstrings. A faint scar runs along his jawline, a remnant of past skirmishes.

Dialog

Milanese Captain By Mars and Bellona! Those imperial dogs test our walls again—reinforce the baker’s alley post before their mangonels find range!
Militia Sergeant Aye, Captain! You there—iron and oak won’t hold if men falter. Pike formation at the gap! Now!
Milanese Captain Tell the foundry workers—molten lead for their scaling ladders this time. No quarter given.
Militia Sergeant Their knights’ll choke on Milanese steel before sunset, or my name’s not Battista!
