TNGF
SELECTED
James Stuart, Duke of York
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early thirties with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is shoulder-length, tied back with a black ribbon, and his face bears the beginnings of a beard. His posture exudes authority, and his hands are calloused from years of naval service.
Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam
primary
A robust, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His short, dark hair is streaked with grey, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are calloused from years at sea, and his posture exudes authority.
English Captain
secondary
A rugged man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, salt-and-pepper beard. His muscular build and calloused hands speak of decades at sea. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a souvenir from past battles.
Dutch Lieutenant
secondary
A young man in his late twenties, with a lean but sturdy build from years at sea. His face is tanned and weathered by the sun and salt, with sharp features and a closely trimmed beard. His light brown hair is tied back in a short queue, practical for naval duties.
English Gunner
background
A rugged, sunburnt man in his late 20s with a wiry build, calloused hands, and a face streaked with gunpowder. His short, dark hair is matted with sweat, and his eyes are bloodshot from smoke and exhaustion.
Dutch Sailor
background
A wiry, sun-bronzed man in his late 20s with salt-crusted blond hair tied back in a short queue. His face bears the deep wrinkles of a life spent squinting against sea glare, and his forearms show rope-burn scars from years of handling rigging.
