TNGF
SELECTED
Rebel Captain
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s, with a wiry build and a face weathered by hardship. His dark hair is tied back loosely, and his piercing blue eyes burn with conviction. A long scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to previous battles.
British Officer
primary
A tall, stern-faced man in his late 30s with a rigid military bearing. His sharp features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed mustache and sideburns. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold calculation, and his posture exudes an air of unquestionable authority. He has the weathered complexion of a career soldier who has served in multiple campaigns.
Rebel Fighter
secondary
A rugged man in his late 20s with a wiry frame, sun-weathered skin, and calloused hands that speak of a life spent tilling fields. His dark hair is tied back hastily with a strip of cloth, and his unshaven face is smeared with dirt and sweat. His eyes burn with a mix of determination and fear.
British Soldier
secondary
A young British soldier, barely out of his teens, with a lean but strong build. His face is clean-shaven, his hair cropped short beneath his shako. His hands grip his musket tightly, knuckles white with tension.
Wounded Rebel
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from a life of hard labor, now gravely injured with a deep wound to his abdomen. His face is pale, his skin clammy with sweat and streaked with dirt and blood. His dark hair is matted with sweat and grime.
Dialog
Rebel Captain
Hold fast, lads! The hill is ours, and by the blood of our fathers, we'll keep it!
British Officer
Deploy the line infantry in column—those rebels will break like wheat before the scythe.
Rebel Fighter
Christ, they're comin' up the hill like the devil himself... but we’ll give 'em hell before we yield!
British Officer
Fix bayonets! We’ll sweep this rabble from the field before sunset—mark my words.
Rebel Captain
Steady now, boys! Remember why we fight—for home, for land, for Ireland!
Rebel Fighter
Aye, Captain... but if we fall, who’ll tell the tale?
British Officer
Forward! No quarter to traitors—show them the price of rebellion.
