Setting

TNGF

SELECTED

King Henry IV

primary

A middle-aged man of regal bearing, with a strong but slightly weary frame. His face is lined with the cares of kingship and battle, with piercing dark eyes that command attention. His hair and beard are streaked with grey, and his skin is weathered from years of campaigning.

Henry Percy (Hotspur)

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of battle. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes burn with intensity. A deep scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.

Knight Captain

secondary

A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and 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 hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his stance exudes authority and experience.

Archer

secondary

A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-browned skin and calloused hands from years of drawing a bow. His sharp eyes are constantly scanning the battlefield, and a thin scar runs from his left temple to his jawline.

Common Soldier

background

A weary foot soldier in his late 20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of hard labor and military training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and a fresh cut above his left eyebrow bleeds slightly. His hands are calloused, gripping his weapon with a mix of determination and exhaustion.

Dialog

King Henry IV By the grace of God and the right of our crown, we shall not yield this field to traitors!

Henry Percy (Hotspur) Then let steel decide whose right is true! Archers, loose!

King Henry IV Would that you had chosen loyalty over pride, Percy. This day shall be your reckoning.

Henry Percy (Hotspur) Loyalty? I serve England, not a usurper! Forward, men! Break their lines!

King Henry IV So be it. Let God judge the righteous. Knights, to me!

Henry Percy (Hotspur) For honor and for England! Strike now, or be struck down!

King Henry IV May the Lord have mercy on your soul, Hotspur, for I shall have none.
