TNGF
SELECTED
USS Arizona Sailor
primary
A young, lean US Navy sailor in his early 20s, with short-cropped brown hair and a clean-shaven face. His arms show the beginnings of sailor's tattoos, and his hands are calloused from rigging work. His blue eyes are wide with shock, and his face is smudged with soot and sweat.
Japanese Pilot
primary
A young Japanese fighter pilot in his late 20s, with a lean but muscular build from rigorous training. His face is partially obscured by an oxygen mask and goggles, but his determined jawline and focused eyes are visible. His hands are gloved, gripping the controls of his Mitsubishi A6M Zero with precision.
Senior Officer
secondary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a stern, weathered face and a strong, upright posture. His short, salt-and-pepper hair is neatly combed, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and the stress of command. His build is athletic, a testament to years of naval discipline.
Medic
secondary
A young Navy medic in his mid-20s, with a lean but strong build from years of service. His face is smudged with soot and sweat, and his short brown hair is tousled from the chaos. His hands are steady despite the surrounding turmoil, showing his training and focus.
Radar Technician
background
A young man in his early 20s, of average height with a lean build. His face is clean-shaven, and his hair is neatly trimmed under his military cap. His eyes are sharp, trained to spot anomalies on radar screens, but now wide with urgency and frustration.
