TNGF

SELECTED

William Wallace

primary

A tall, powerfully built man in his late twenties with long, unkempt reddish-brown hair and a thick beard. His face bears the weathered look of a man accustomed to harsh conditions, with piercing blue eyes that reflect both intelligence and fierce determination. His muscular frame suggests a lifetime of physical labor and combat training.

Andrew Moray

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a weathered but noble face. His auburn hair is tied back under a simple cloth cap, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with keen focus. A faint scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons and reins alike, and his stance exudes both strength and strategic patience.

Scottish Archer

secondary

A rugged Highlander in his late twenties, with a wiry but muscular build honed by years of hunting and warfare. His face is weathered by the Scottish elements, with sharp blue eyes that scan the approaching English troops with lethal focus. A thick red beard covers the lower half of his face, and his auburn hair is tied back with a leather cord. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his forearms bear the scars of past battles.

English Knight

secondary

A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his steel-gray eyes are sharp with command. He wears a chainmail coif under his helmet, with wisps of auburn hair visible at the temples.

English Foot Soldier

background

A young man in his early twenties, wiry but strong from years of labor and military training. His face is streaked with sweat and dirt, his short brown hair plastered to his forehead. His hands are calloused from gripping weapons, and his nails are dirty. His eyes are wide with fear, darting between the collapsing bridge and the Scottish archers in the distance.
