Siege of Wexford

Setting
The narrow, winding streets of Wexford, near the town walls, with cobblestone pathways slick with blood and scattered debris from the siege. The air is thick with smoke from burning buildings, and the remnants of the town's defenses lie shattered.

TNGF
SELECTED
New Model Army Captain
primary
A hardened officer in his late 30s, with a lean, muscular build honed by years of campaigning. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline, and his piercing blue eyes are cold and calculating. His short, dark brown hair is streaked with grey, and his neatly trimmed beard shows signs of recent neglect.
Irish Defender
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry, muscular build from years of hard labor. His face is smeared with dirt and blood, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with a mix of determination and desperation. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and tied back roughly with a strip of cloth. A jagged scar runs from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone.
Wounded Townsman
secondary
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His dark hair is matted with blood from a musket wound to his left shoulder, and his clothes are torn from crawling through the debris. His hands are calloused, indicating a life of manual labor, and his face bears the wear of hardship.
Townswoman
secondary
A middle-aged woman with a gaunt face and sunken eyes, her hair disheveled and streaked with grey. Her hands are rough from years of labor, and her dress is torn at the hem from scrambling through the debris. She clutches her injured child tightly, her body trembling with exhaustion and fear.
New Model Army Soldier
background
A young soldier in his early twenties, with a lean but muscular build from years of marching and training. His face is smudged with dirt and powder burns, and his short-cropped hair is matted with sweat. His hands are calloused from handling his musket, and his posture betrays the tension of battle.
