Characters
Scottish Knight
primary
A rugged, battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by scars from previous conflicts. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a thick, dark beard streaked with gray, and his long, unkempt hair is tied back with a leather cord. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance exudes confidence and authority.
English Knight
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark eyebrows, and his short-cropped brown hair is slightly greying at the temples. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, and his stance exudes confidence and experience.
Scottish Foot Soldier
secondary
A rugged man in his late twenties, with a wiry build and sun-weathered skin. His face is framed by a short, unkempt beard, and his dark hair is matted with sweat and dirt. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance is that of a man accustomed to hard labor and battle.
English Foot Soldier
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with a sunburnt face and calloused hands from years of archery practice. His lean build suggests endurance rather than brute strength, with keen eyes that constantly scan the battlefield. A thin scar runs along his right cheekbone, a souvenir from past skirmishes.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build, now weakened by his injuries. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his hair matted with blood from a gash on his forehead. His chainmail is torn near the abdomen where a deep wound bleeds profusely.
