TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and a thick beard streaked with grey. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his dark eyes burn with intensity. A deep scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
King Richard II
primary
A slender young man of 14 years with delicate features, fair complexion, and shoulder-length golden hair. His blue eyes are sharp with a mix of youthful defiance and regal composure. His posture is upright, though his slight frame betrays his age.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late twenties with a lean, muscular build from years of archery practice. His face is marked by a deep scar across his left cheek, and his hands are calloused from gripping the bow. His keen eyes constantly scan the surroundings for threats.
Royal Guard
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick beard, and deep-set eyes that constantly scan for threats. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and there's a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone.
Peasant Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a wiry build, her face weathered from years of labor in the fields. Her hands are calloused, and her dark hair is tied back in a simple braid, strands escaping in the chaos. Her eyes burn with fury, and her mouth is set in a determined snarl.
Dialog
Wat Tyler
Break down them gates! The tax-men hide like rats in the king's granary!
King Richard II
By God's grace, we command you lay down your arms! This rebellion stains your souls before heaven!
Royal Guard
My liege, I beg you withdraw—their archers have the high walls!
Wat Tyler
Hear that, lads? The king-boy thinks our souls ain't already black from his stewards' thievery!
King Richard II
Our royal person shall hear grievances—but only when lawful allegiance is restored!
Royal Guard
To arms! They flank the postern gate!
Wat Tyler
The harvest comes early this year—reap what they've sown!
