TNGF
SELECTED
Richard of York
primary
A tall, imposing nobleman in his late forties with a strong, battle-hardened frame. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with sharp blue eyes that convey both intelligence and determination. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical manner for battle. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past conflicts.
Lancastrian Commander
primary
A battle-hardened commander in his late 40s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of warfare. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, and a prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, tied back in a practical manner.
Yorkist Knight
secondary
A 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 filled with determination, and his short, dark brown hair is tousled from the fight. A thick beard, flecked with grey, covers his jaw.
Lancastrian Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late 20s with sunken cheeks and a close-cropped beard, his eyes sharp and focused. His hands are calloused from years of drawing the longbow, and his frame is lean but muscular from constant training.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Yorkist soldier in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build from years of training. His face is pale from blood loss, with a deep gash across his forehead and another wound in his side where a Lancastrian arrow has struck. His hands are calloused and dirty from battle, and his breath comes in ragged gasps.
Dialog
Richard of York
By the blood of Saint George, stand firm! These Lancastrian curs shall not take this field while I draw breath!
Lancastrian Commander
Finish them! The white rose withers today - leave none alive!
Yorkist Knight
My lord, to the castle gate! We can hold the barbican if we reach it!
Richard of York
Nay, good knight. I'll not retreat like some cowed hound. This ground is mine by right!
Lancastrian Commander
Hear how the proud duke clings to his empty titles? Steel cares not for bloodlines!
Yorkist Knight
Archers to the ridge! Cover the duke's advance!
Richard of York
So be it. Let Pluto judge which roses bloom come spring!
