TNGF
SELECTED
Coast Guard Lieutenant
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a square jawline darkened by stubble, his face weathered by years at sea. His piercing blue eyes are narrowed against the stinging rain and salt spray. Broad shoulders strain against his soaked uniform, his muscular frame honed by years of maritime service. A deep scar runs along his left cheekbone, partially hidden by his rain-slicked hair.
Rescue Boat Crewman
secondary
A young, wiry Coast Guard sailor in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from months at sea. His face is weather-beaten, with a sharp nose and deep-set eyes that squint against the stinging rain. His short, dark hair is plastered to his forehead by the storm.
Injured Airman
secondary
A young male crew member of the USS Akron, approximately mid-20s, with a lean but muscular build typical of naval airmen. His face is pale from shock and cold, with dark circles under his eyes. His hair is plastered to his forehead with seawater, and a deep gash on his temple bleeds sluggishly. His lips are slightly blue from hypothermia.
Drowning Sailor
background
A young man in his late 20s, lean but muscular from naval service, with short dark hair plastered to his head by seawater. His face is contorted with exhaustion and panic, lips blue-tinged from cold. His uniform clings to his body as he thrashes weakly in the water.
