TNGF
SELECTED
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back loosely. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, evidence of past conflicts.
Royal Guard Captain
primary
A battle-hardened man in his late 40s, with a muscular build and weathered face. His short gray hair is covered by a steel bascinet helmet, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with military precision. Deep scars run along his right cheekbone from past conflicts.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A lean and wiry peasant in his late 20s, with sun-darkened skin and calloused hands from years of labor. His sharp eyes are accustomed to tracking game—and now, enemies. A short beard frames his determined face, and his muscular arms show the strength of someone who has drawn a bow since childhood.
Young Rebel
secondary
A wiry teenage boy of about 15 years, with tousled brown hair and smudges of dirt on his angular face. His lean frame shows signs of malnutrition but his movements are quick and energetic. His knuckles are scraped from previous scuffles.
Tax Collector
background
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, thinning hair, and a slightly hunched posture from years of bending over ledgers. His eyes are wide with fear, and his hands tremble as he clutches a bundle of burning tax records.

Dialog

Wat Tyler Ye guards of the crown! Stand aside or feel the wrath of men who'll no longer bear the weight of thy chains!
Royal Guard Captain You trespass against the King's peace, blacksmith. This rabble will scatter like chaff when the cavalry arrives.
Young Rebel Ain't no 'orses comin' to save ye, tin-heads! We burned the tax rolls already!
Wat Tyler The time for talk is past! We'll have our rights writ in blood if need be!
Royal Guard Captain Testudo formation! Let these curs break upon our shields like river waves!
Young Rebel Come on then! Let's see 'ow yer fancy shields hold against good English stones!
Wat Tyler Forward, brothers! For every man who falls today, ten more shall rise tomorrow!
