TNGF
SELECTED
Sailor Leader
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a strong jawline. His short, dark hair is slightly unkempt, and he has a thick mustache. His hands are calloused from years of labor at sea, and his posture exudes confidence and authority.
Worker Representative
primary
A sturdy, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and calloused hands from years of factory labor. His dark hair is streaked with gray and slightly unkempt, and he sports a short, rough beard. His posture is upright but not rigid, showing both fatigue and determination.
Young Sailor
secondary
A fresh-faced sailor in his late teens or early twenties, with a lean but sturdy build from months at sea. His fair skin is slightly sunburned, and his short, tousled blond hair sticks out from under his cap. His blue eyes are wide with a mix of excitement and nervousness, and his clean-shaven face still carries the softness of youth.
Dockworker
secondary
A burly man in his late 30s, with broad shoulders and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is weathered, with a thick beard and a scar above his left eyebrow. His muscular frame is evident even under his heavy work clothes.
Naval Officer
background
A middle-aged man with a stern, weathered face, sharp features, and a closely trimmed mustache. His posture is rigid, betraying his military training, and his piercing eyes scan the room with a mix of disdain and concern. His uniform is immaculate, but his clenched jaw and furrowed brow reveal his inner turmoil.
Dialog
Sailor Leader
Brothers of the sea and land, the Kaiser's chains rust in our hands! By Neptune's beard, we'll not be shackled again!
Worker Representative
The gears of oppression grind to a halt when workers and sailors stand as one! No more empty promises—only action!
Dockworker
Jawohl! We've waited long enough—let's smash their rotten system 'fore they rally their dogs on us!
Sailor Leader
Steady as she goes, comrades. The tide turns tonight—but we move together, or we drown separately.
Worker Representative
Then let the hammer of justice fall! Every foundry, every shipyard—they'll hear Kiel's answer by dawn!
Dockworker
Genau! Who's with us? Show your hands, lads—no shadows for cowards tonight!
Sailor Leader
Then hoist the red flag high. Let Berlin know—Kiel answers to no crown but the people's will!
