TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, sinewy man in his late 30s, with a weather-beaten face marked by deep lines from years of toil. His dark hair is cropped short and streaked with grey, and his piercing brown eyes burn with righteous fury. His hands are calloused and strong, gripping a simple but deadly iron mace.
John of Gaunt
primary
A tall, imposing nobleman in his early 40s with sharp aristocratic features, a neatly trimmed beard, and piercing blue eyes that now reflect panic. His once-regal posture is hunched in flight, his fine garments streaked with soot.
Rebel Peasant
secondary
A wiry, sunburnt man in his mid-30s with calloused hands and a gaunt face framed by unkempt, straw-colored hair. His eyes burn with fervor, and his lean frame shows the marks of hard labor.
Servant
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with wiry arms and a weathered face marked by years of labor. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back with a simple leather thong. His hands are rough and calloused from years of service.
Guard Captain
background
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a weathered face marked by years of service. His short, graying beard and deep-set eyes give him a seasoned appearance. A scar runs across his left cheekbone, a remnant of past battles. His shoulders are broad, and his hands are calloused from wielding weapons.
