TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Žižka
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of battle. His most striking feature is the missing left eye, covered by a simple leather patch. His remaining eye is sharp and piercing, constantly scanning the battlefield. His hair is short and unkempt, with streaks of gray, and his beard is thick and streaked with dirt and sweat.
Hussite Archer
secondary
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late 30s with calloused hands and keen eyes. His face bears the marks of hard labor and exposure to the elements, with deep lines around his eyes from squinting against the sun. His dark hair is cropped short under a simple cap, and he moves with the practiced efficiency of someone accustomed to working with his hands.
Peasant Militia Leader
secondary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a sun-weathered face, broad shoulders, and calloused hands from years of farming. His dark hair is streaked with gray and tied back with a simple leather strap. A deep scar runs across his left cheek, a remnant of past conflicts.
Crusader Knight
background
A heavily armored noble knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a determined demeanor. His face is partially obscured by his great helm, but his visible features include a strong jawline and a short, well-groomed beard. His armor is a mix of plate and chainmail, with a surcoat bearing the cross of the Crusade.
Dialog
Jan Žižka
Hold the wagons tight! Let them break upon us like waves on rock!
Hussite Archer
Their armor shines like a rich man's plate—easy targets for my arrows.
Jan Žižka
Archers, wait for my signal. Let them come closer—waste no shafts on air.
Hussite Archer
Aye, like stalking deer. They’ll not see death until it bites.
Jan Žižka
Now! Loose!
Hussite Archer
For God and the Chalice!
Jan Žižka
Stand firm! The hill is ours, and by God’s will, it shall remain!
