TNGF
SELECTED
Louis-Eugène Cavaignac
primary
A tall, imposing figure with a stern, weathered face, sharp features, and a closely cropped military haircut. His piercing eyes reflect a man hardened by years of service.
Worker Leader
primary
A gaunt man in his late 30s, with sunken eyes and a face lined with hardship. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his jaw is set with grim determination.
Insurgent Woman
secondary
A determined woman in her late 20s, with a strong build from years of labor. Her face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and her hands are calloused from hard work. Her dark hair is tied back haphazardly, with loose strands sticking to her damp forehead.
National Guard Soldier
secondary
A young soldier in his early 20s, with a clean-shaven face and short-cropped hair. His uniform is slightly disheveled from the fighting, and his eyes show a mix of determination and unease.
Child
background
A small, frail child with wide, fearful eyes and a dirty face, clutching a cobblestone too large for their tiny hands. Their clothes are tattered, and their hair is matted with dust and sweat.
Dialog
Louis-Eugène Cavaignac
Advance! Crush this rabble—no quarter for those who defy the Republic!
Worker Leader
Hold the barricade, brothers! They’ll not take our liberty without a fight!

Mon commandant... there are women and children among them. Must we—?
Louis-Eugène Cavaignac
The Republic knows no mercy for traitors. Fire at my command!

You hear that, comrades? They’d slaughter us all! Fight or die free!

Mon Dieu...
Louis-Eugène Cavaignac
Disobey, and you’ll join them in the gutter. Now—FIRE!
