TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Julius II
primary
A robust and imposing man in his early 60s, with a thick white beard and piercing dark eyes that command attention. His face is weathered with deep lines, reflecting years of political and religious leadership. His posture is upright, exuding authority and vigor.
Bolognese Noble
primary
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a strong but slightly hunched posture from years of political maneuvering. His face is lined with the marks of responsibility and occasional worry, framed by a neatly trimmed beard and dark hair streaked with grey. His eyes are sharp, reflecting both intelligence and wariness.
Papal Guard
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered Swiss man in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by a faint scar across his left cheekbone. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd vigilantly, and his strong jaw is set in determination. His physique suggests years of rigorous training and combat experience.
Merchant
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, his sharp eyes framed by deep-set wrinkles from years of squinting at ledgers and fine fabrics. His fingers, though clean, bear the callouses of handling rough bales of cloth. A neatly trimmed beard, streaked with grey, frames his calculating face.
Street Urchin
background
A wiry child of about 8 or 9 years, with sun-kissed skin smudged with dirt. Their dark hair is tousled and unkempt, falling into their bright, curious eyes. A few freckles dust their nose, and their small frame suggests a life of hardship and constant movement.
Dialog
Pope Julius II

Bolognese Noble
Your Holiness honors us with your presence. The city has long awaited such divine guidance.
Pope Julius II

Bolognese Noble
Such whispers are but the idle talk of men who know not the weight of governance, Your Holiness.
Pope Julius II
Then let us pray these men find wisdom, lest they learn it at the edge of our sword.
Bolognese Noble
Surely even rebels cannot stand against both spiritual and temporal authority united.
Pope Julius II
Pray they never test that theory. Now show us to our quarters - we have much work to do in this city.
