Characters

Italian Lieutenant
primary
A young man in his late 20s with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is tanned and weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone—a souvenir from earlier fighting. Dark brown eyes burn with intensity beneath his officer's cap. His black hair is cropped short in military fashion, slightly disheveled from combat.
Italian Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a square jaw covered in several days' worth of stubble. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his face bears the deep lines of years spent in the field. His build is stocky and muscular, with broad shoulders that suggest years of carrying heavy equipment. His left ear bears a small scar from a previous battle.
Italian Private
secondary
A young soldier in his early 20s, with a wiry build from months of rations and marching. His olive skin is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his dark brown eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination. A fresh scratch runs along his left cheek, likely from shrapnel or barbed wire. His hands grip his rifle tightly, knuckles white from tension.
Austro-Hungarian Soldier
secondary
A weary young man in his mid-20s, with a gaunt face covered in dirt and stubble. His uniform is torn and mud-stained, and he has a bandage hastily wrapped around his left forearm. His eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion and fear.
Medic
background
A weary man in his early 30s, with a lean but sturdy build, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His hands are rough and bloodstained from continuous work, and his dark hair is tousled under his cap. His eyes, though tired, remain sharp and focused.
