Setting
The Hill of Tara, a rolling grassy hilltop with ancient earthworks and stone monuments, now transformed into a battlefield. The once sacred ground is trampled by the boots of rebels and soldiers alike, with patches of wildflowers crushed underfoot. The surrounding landscape is dotted with small farms and hedgerows, providing occasional cover.

TNGF
SELECTED
Rebel Captain
primary
A rugged Irishman in his early 30s, with a wiry but strong build, sun-weathered skin, and piercing green eyes that burn with conviction. His dark brown hair is tied back loosely with a strip of cloth, and a few days' worth of stubble covers his jaw. A long scar runs diagonally across his left cheek, a testament to previous battles.
British Officer
primary
A tall, lean man in his late 30s with sharp features, a clean-shaven face, and piercing blue eyes. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military training, and his hands are calloused from years of handling weapons. A thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant of past battles.
Rebel Fighter
secondary
A wiry Irishman in his late twenties, with sunken cheeks and a wild tangle of dark hair tied back with a strip of cloth. His face is smudged with dirt and gunpowder, and his piercing blue eyes burn with defiance. His lean frame is toughened by years of labor, and his hands are calloused from both farm work and musket drills.
British Soldier
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but sturdy build from military training. His face is smudged with dirt and gunpowder, and his fair skin is flushed from exertion. His hair, cropped short in military fashion, is damp with sweat beneath his shako. His hands are calloused from handling his musket, and his posture reflects the fatigue of prolonged battle.
Wounded Rebel
background
A young Irish rebel in his mid-20s, wiry and sunburnt from outdoor labor, now bleeding heavily from a musket wound to the abdomen. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his dark hair matted with blood from a glancing head wound. His hands are calloused from farm work, now clawing at the earth as he drags himself forward.

Mind the flanks, Lieutenant! These savages favor ambush from the ditches.
