TNGF
SELECTED
Robert the Bruce
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early forties with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of campaigning, and piercing blue eyes. His face is framed by a thick, reddish-brown beard streaked with gray, and his hair is shoulder-length, slightly unkempt from battle. A prominent scar runs across his right cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A rugged, battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous battles. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a thick, unkempt beard streaked with grey. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword.
English Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of training. His face is weathered and bears a scar across his left cheek from previous battles. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and mud, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and frustration.
Scottish Spearman
background
A rugged foot soldier in his late 20s, with a wiry but strong build from years of training and battle. His face is weathered by the elements, with a short, unkempt beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect both determination and fatigue. His hands are calloused from gripping his spear, and there's a fresh cut on his left cheek from the battle.
English Archer
background
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of drawing the longbow. His dark hair is cropped short under a simple cloth coif, and his sharp eyes squint against the battlefield's chaos.

Hold fast, my brothers! See how the Sassenach flounder like deer in the mire! Their pride shall be their undoing this day!

Aye, they're bogged down proper now! Like fat geese in a pond, they are! Lads - keep those pikes steady!

Damn this cursed ground! Reform! Reform, I say! We must break their line!
Robert the Bruce
Now comes our moment, lads! When I give word - push forward as one! Let them feel Scotland's wrath!
Scottish Knight
A Dhia! Look at them flail! Their fine armor's naught but an anchor in this muck!

Archers! Where are our damned archers? We need covering fire!

Now, Scotland! Now! For freedom and for home!
