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 grey and tied back roughly, and his beard is unkempt. His piercing eyes show both intelligence and the weariness of a man who has led a hard life.

King Richard II

primary

A slender, fair-haired youth of 14 years, with delicate features and a pale complexion. His blue eyes are wide with a mix of apprehension and regal determination. His posture is upright, though there's a slight tension in his shoulders.

Mayor of London

secondary

William Walworth, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, sharp features, and piercing eyes. His face is weathered from years of public service, and his posture exudes authority. He wears a chain of office prominently around his neck, symbolizing his position.

Rebel Archer

secondary

A wiry, sunburnt man in his late twenties, with calloused hands from years of drawing the longbow. His face is sharp-featured under a mop of tangled brown hair, with alert eyes that constantly scan the scene. His stance shows the lean musculature of someone accustomed to physical labor and the constant readiness of military training.

Royal Guard

background

A seasoned knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of service. His short, dark beard is neatly trimmed, and his piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with vigilance. A scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.

Wat Tyler By the blood of our backs, we demand justice! No more shall the tillers of the soil bear the weight of unjust taxes!

King Richard II Good people, we hear thy grievances. Yet violence shall not serve thee. Lay down thy arms, and we shall treat with thee as loyal subjects.

Mayor of London This insolence shall not stand! Thou art a traitor to the crown, Tyler!

Wat Tyler Traitor? Nay, 'tis thee who betray the people! We seek only what is ours by right!

Mayor of London Enough!

King Richard II Hold, Walworth!

Wat Tyler So this is the justice of kings...
