TNGF
SELECTED
English Longbow Captain
primary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by scars and sunken eyes that have seen too many battles. His muscular frame is slightly hunched from years of drawing the longbow, and his hands are calloused and strong. A thick, graying beard covers his jaw, and his hair is tied back in a practical knot.
French Knight
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered nobleman in his late 30s, with a weathered face and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his helmet, and a thick beard frames his jaw. His armor is finely crafted, with intricate engravings on the breastplate and pauldrons, gleaming despite the dust and grime of battle.
Young Archer
secondary
A fresh-faced longbowman, no older than 18, with a lean but wiry build from years of archery practice. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, his wide eyes betraying his inexperience. His hands tremble slightly as he handles his bow, the callouses on his fingers still fresh.
French Man-at-Arms
secondary
A battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a stocky build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and a fresh cut on his cheek drips blood. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his stance is that of a man accustomed to the rigors of war.
Wounded Longbowman
background
A young man in his early twenties, his face pale from blood loss, with a wiry build typical of longbowmen. His left leg is badly wounded, the cloth of his hose soaked crimson from a deep gash. His hands are calloused from years of archery practice, now smeared with dirt and blood as he drags himself forward.
