TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A powerfully built man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and deep-set eyes that burn with conviction. His dark hair is shoulder-length and unkempt, streaked with premature gray from years of labor. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline - likely a villein's mark of punishment. Callused hands grip his staff like a scepter of the people.
Royal Treasurer
primary
A middle-aged man of slight but dignified build, with a neatly trimmed gray beard and sharp, calculating eyes that betray both intelligence and unease. His pale complexion suggests a life spent indoors managing accounts rather than laboring in fields.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A wiry peasant man in his late 20s with sun-browned skin and calloused hands from years of field labor. His unkempt brown hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his sharp blue eyes scan the courtyard with hunter's focus. Several days' worth of stubble covers his jaw, and a faded scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone - likely from a previous encounter with authority. His lean frame belies the strength in his draw arm, currently holding a nocked longbow at partial tension.
Guard Captain
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his early 40s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His sun-weathered face is framed by close-cropped brown hair streaked with gray, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with military precision.
Peasant Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a wiry build from years of labor, her face weathered by sun and hardship. Her dark hair is tied back in a simple braid, wisps escaping around her flushed face. Calloused hands grip her tool with practiced strength.

Dialog

Wat Tyler By the blood we've swinked! No more poll-tax nor serf's collar while we draw breath!
Royal Treasurer Good folk, in good faith, by the king's grace, these matters require... deliberation in proper council—
Guard Captain Hold fast! Pike line to the left flank!
Wat Tyler Deliberate this, my lord—when Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?
Royal Treasurer Such... such radical notions cannot be—that is to say, the established order—
Guard Captain En garde, you mud-born fools! They've archers in the towers!
