TNGF

SELECTED

Edward IV

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties, standing at an imposing height of 6 feet 4 inches, with a strong, athletic build befitting a warrior king. His fair complexion is flushed from exertion and the biting cold, and his golden-brown hair is tousled beneath his helmet. His piercing blue eyes are sharp with determination, and his clean-shaven face is marked by a few fresh scratches from battle.

Richard Neville

secondary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a commanding presence. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with sharp blue eyes that miss nothing. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, slightly tousled from the battle, and he sports a well-groomed beard. A scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a souvenir from a previous skirmish.

Yorkist Soldier

secondary

A rugged man in his late twenties, with a wiry build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His short, dark hair is matted with sweat and snow, and a fresh cut on his cheek drips blood onto his rough woolen tunic.

Lancastrian Soldier

background

A young man in his early twenties, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes from exhaustion. His build is wiry, suited for the rigors of battle, but now weakened by injury and cold. His skin is pale, almost blending with the snow, save for the streaks of dirt and blood. His hair, matted with sweat and snow, clings to his forehead. A deep gash on his left arm bleeds sluggishly, staining his sleeve crimson.
