TNGF
SELECTED
Geoffrey Litster
primary
A burly man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin, a thick beard streaked with dye stains, and calloused hands that speak of years of manual labor. His muscular frame bears the marks of his trade - blue and red dye stains on his fingers and forearms.
Henry le Despenser
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 40s with a strong, athletic build honed by years of military campaigns. His face is weathered from both battle and prayer, with sharp blue eyes that burn with conviction. His tonsured hair is graying at the temples, and he sports a neatly trimmed beard. His hands, though bearing the callouses of swordplay, are adorned with a bishop's ring.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A wiry peasant man in his late 20s with sun-browned skin and calloused hands from years of labor. His dark hair is cropped short under a simple cloth cap, and his sharp eyes track targets with practiced ease. Muscular forearms show his archery skill.
Knight Captain
secondary
A seasoned knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by years of battle. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with strategic precision, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past conflicts.
Peasant Spearman
background
A wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and a patchy beard, his hands calloused from years of labor. His brown hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and his wide eyes show the whites all around. He grips his spear with both hands, knuckles white from tension.

Geoffrey Litster Aye, they've fine steel and full bellies—but we've justice burning in our guts!
Henry le Despenser Let this field run red as a cardinal's robe—God will know His own!
Knight Captain Shields up! Advance at pace—don't let them breathe!
Geoffrey Litster For every one of us that falls, ten more will rise! The dye's cast now, lads!
