Setting

Chatham Dockyard on the River Medway, Kent, United Kingdom. The dockyard is a bustling naval hub, now in chaos as Dutch warships breach the defensive chain and sail upriver. The water is filled with burning and sinking English ships, smoke billowing into the sky. The air is thick with the scent of gunpowder and burning timber.

TNGF
SELECTED
Admiral Michiel de Ruyter
primary
A seasoned Dutch naval commander in his late 50s, with a weathered face marked by years at sea. His piercing blue eyes survey the chaos with a mix of tactical calculation and grim satisfaction. His salt-and-pepper hair is tied back in a practical seaman's queue.
English Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes shadowed by exhaustion, and a square jaw clenched in determination. His dark brown hair is tied back in a short queue, streaked with grey. His posture is rigid with military bearing despite the chaos, and his hands bear the calluses of long service at sea.
Sailor
secondary
A common English sailor, wiry and sunburnt from years at sea. His hands are calloused, and his face is etched with the hardships of naval life. He wears a look of sheer panic as the Dutch marines board their ship.
Dutch Marine
background
A rugged and battle-hardened Dutch marine, his face smudged with soot and sweat from the intense fighting. His muscular frame is evident even beneath his uniform, a testament to the harsh life of a naval soldier.
