Characters
Serbian Lieutenant
primary
A young Serbian officer in his late 20s, with a lean but wiry build, sun-tanned skin, and sharp, watchful eyes. His face is marked with streaks of dirt and sweat, and he sports a short, unkempt beard, a testament to days spent in the field. His hands are calloused, gripping his rifle with practiced ease.
Austro-Hungarian Captain
primary
A man in his late 30s, with a sturdy build honed by years of military service. His face is weathered by campaign, with sharp cheekbones and a neatly trimmed mustache that bristles when he speaks. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with tactical precision, framed by the deep lines of command.
Serbian Sniper
secondary
A hardened Serbian marksman in his early thirties, with a wiry but strong build. His face is weathered from years of outdoor living, with deep-set eyes that have spent countless hours squinting down rifle sights. His hands are calloused, and he moves with the deliberate precision of someone who knows the cost of a single wasted motion.
Austro-Hungarian Medic
secondary
A wiry man in his late 20s with a gaunt, exhausted face. His light brown hair is matted with sweat under his field cap, and he has dark circles under his sharp blue eyes. His hands are stained with blood and grime, with a permanent tremor from overwork.
Serbian Runner
background
A young Serbian soldier in his early 20s, lean and wiry from months of warfare. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, his eyes wide with adrenaline. He has a hastily bandaged wound on his left forearm, the blood seeping through the rough cloth.
