TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and deep-set eyes that burn with conviction. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back roughly, and his hands are calloused from years of labor. A prominent scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past conflicts.
King Richard II
primary
A slender young man with delicate features, fair complexion, and shoulder-length golden hair. His piercing blue eyes convey both regal authority and youthful uncertainty. His posture is upright but not rigid, showing a mix of royal bearing and nervous energy.
Royal Guard Captain
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with military precision, and his right hand never strays far from the hilt of his sword. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A wiry, sunburnt peasant in his late 20s with calloused hands from years of labor. His unkempt brown hair is tied back with a strip of leather, and his sharp eyes constantly scan for threats. He carries a crude but functional longbow and a quiver of arrows made from scavenged materials.
Peasant Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a wiry frame, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. Her dark hair is tied back in a frayed kerchief, with strands escaping around her face. Her eyes are intense and bloodshot from exhaustion and anger.

Dialog

Wat Tyler We break our backs in the fields while the lords feast on our labor! No more shall we bear this yoke!
King Richard II Good people, we hear your grievances. Let us speak of terms that may bring peace to our realm.
Royal Guard Captain My liege, these rebels dare too much—let us disperse them by force!
Wat Tyler Words won't fill our children's bellies, nor parchments pay our tithes! We demand freedom from serfdom—now!
King Richard II By Saint George's cross, I swear to consider your petitions—but this lawless gathering must end!
Royal Guard Captain Archers to the fore!
Wat Tyler See how they treat honest men? Either we stand together now, or we hang separately tomorrow!
