Setting

The guillotine stands prominently in the center, its wooden structure stark against the winter sky. The cobblestone ground is damp from the morning frost, and the air is thick with anticipation.

TNGF

SELECTED

Louis XVI

primary

A man in his late thirties, with a portly build and a pale complexion. His face is marked by the strain of imprisonment, with dark circles under his eyes and a slightly unkempt appearance. His hair, once carefully powdered, is now disheveled and tied back simply. His hands, though soft from a life of privilege, show signs of recent rough treatment.

Executioner

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His hands are large and calloused from years of handling heavy tools. His dark hair is tied back in a simple queue, and his expression is stern and unreadable.

Revolutionary Official

secondary

A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sharp cheekbones, and piercing dark eyes. His short, dark hair is slightly disheveled, and his posture is rigid with revolutionary fervor. He wears a tricolor cockade pinned prominently to his chest.

Citizen Woman

secondary

A middle-aged woman with a gaunt face, sunken cheeks, and deep-set eyes that reflect years of hardship. Her hair is tucked under a simple bonnet, with a few loose strands framing her face. Her hands are rough from labor, and her posture is slightly hunched from years of toil.

National Guardsman

background

A young man in his mid-20s, lean but strong from military training, with a weathered face and sharp eyes that scan the crowd constantly. His dark hair is tied back under his tricorn hat, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone.
