TNGF
SELECTED
King Richard II
primary
A slender 14-year-old with fair complexion, shoulder-length golden hair, and piercing blue eyes. His youthful face shows traces of royal bearing despite his age, with a slightly upturned nose and delicate features. He stands at average height for his age, with a posture that alternates between regal stiffness and adolescent uncertainty.
Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry but strong build, his face weathered from years of labor in the fields. His dark brown hair is unkempt, streaked with gray, and his beard is short but untrimmed. His hands are calloused, and his stance exudes a quiet, simmering defiance.
Royal Advisor
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with sharp features, greying hair neatly trimmed, and a calculating gaze. His posture is upright, betraying years of courtly training, though his shoulders are slightly hunched from hours spent poring over scrolls and treaties.
Rebel Supporter
secondary
A rugged peasant man in his late 30s, with sun-weathered skin and a wiry build. His unkempt brown hair falls to his shoulders, and his calloused hands grip a simple farming tool repurposed as a weapon. A fresh bruise discolors his left cheekbone from recent skirmishes.
Royal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face and a close-cropped beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd constantly, and his right hand rests firmly on the hilt of his sword.
Dialog
Rebel Leader
We will no longer be bound to the soil like beasts! The chains of serfdom must break this day!
King Richard II
We... I mean, our royal person hears your grievances. But the laws of the realm are not so easily undone.
Royal Advisor
Your Grace, remember—promise them charters. Let the courts decide the matter when this rabble disperses.
Rebel Leader
Courts? Nay! We know how your courts favor the lords who grind our faces into the mud!
King Richard II
By Saint Edward's crown, we swear—those who lay down arms shall have our mercy and our ear!
Rebel Leader
Mercy? We ask for justice, boy-king. The justice denied us since our grandsires' time.
Royal Advisor
Enough! His Grace offers terms—would you rather face the royal levies at Smithfield?
