TNGF
SELECTED
Henry IV
primary
A middle-aged man in his mid-30s with a strong, regal bearing, his face showing the wear of years of rule and recent sleepless nights. His dark brown hair is slightly disheveled beneath his helmet, and his piercing hazel eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus. He has a well-groomed beard streaked with early gray, and a prominent scar on his left cheek from past conflicts.
Henry Percy (Hotspur)
primary
A rugged warrior in his late 30s with a lean, muscular build honed by years of campaigning. His face is sharp-featured with piercing gray eyes that gleam with intensity, framed by wind-tousled auburn hair streaked with premature gray. A deep scar runs from his left temple to jawline—a trophy from past battles. His skin is sun-weathered and his hands bear the callouses of a man who wields sword and lance daily.
Royal Standard Bearer
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late twenties with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His arms are muscular from years of wielding heavy banners and weapons. A fresh scar runs across his left cheekbone, likely from recent skirmishes.
Rebel Archer
secondary
A lean, sinewy man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and a sharp, angular face. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his keen eyes scan the battlefield with practiced precision. A thin scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone, likely from a past skirmish. His dark brown hair is cropped short, matted with sweat and dust.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean but muscular from years of training and campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a gash on his forehead. His left leg is badly wounded, leaving a trail of blood as he crawls.

Dialog

Henry IV By God's wounds, Percy dares to face us with steel rather than bend the knee! Let every man here witness—this treason ends upon this field!
Henry Percy (Hotspur) There stands the usurper—loose your shafts upon his colors! Let the false king choke on our arrows!
Rebel Archer Nock! Draw!—God's teeth, the wind's against us—loose anyway, lads!
Henry IV They falter—press the advantage! Let no rebel leave this field with breath in his body!
Henry Percy (Hotspur) Stand fast, you dogs of Northumberland! Would you have that Lancaster cur make slaves of your kin?
Rebel Archer S'posed to be three shafts per minute—down to my last six! Where's the damn resupply?
Henry IV Percy! Face me yourself instead of hiding behind your bowmen! Or has the famous Hotspur grown timid?
