TNGF
SELECTED
USS Arizona Gunner
primary
A young US sailor, early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from naval training. His face is smudged with soot and sweat, his short-cropped hair damp with perspiration. His hands are blistered from rapidly loading hot ammunition.
Senior Officer
primary
A grizzled naval officer in his late 40s with a square jaw and deep-set eyes that have seen years of service. His salt-and-pepper hair is cropped short beneath his officer's cap, and his muscular frame shows the physical demands of naval command. A thin scar runs along his left cheekbone, a souvenir from earlier conflicts.
Japanese Pilot
secondary
A young Japanese Zero fighter pilot in his mid-20s, lean and wiry from rigorous training. His face is partially obscured by flight goggles and an oxygen mask, but his determined jawline and focused eyes are visible. His hands grip the controls with practiced precision.
Wounded Sailor
secondary
A young sailor in his early 20s, lean but muscular from naval service, with short-cropped dark hair matted with sweat and blood. His face is streaked with soot and grime, and a deep gash runs across his forehead. His left leg is badly injured, leaving a trail of blood as he's dragged.
Signalman
background
A young sailor in his early 20s, lean and wiry from months at sea, with sun-weathered skin and short-cropped dark hair. His face is streaked with sweat and soot, his eyes wide with urgency as he works against time.
