TNGF
SELECTED
John F. Kennedy
primary
A 46-year-old man with a lean, athletic build, standing at 6 feet tall. He has thick, reddish-brown hair combed back, piercing blue eyes, and a slightly tanned complexion. His face bears the lines of leadership and the lingering effects of chronic back pain.
Jackie Kennedy
primary
A slender woman in her early 30s with delicate features, high cheekbones, and dark brown hair styled in her signature bouffant. Her complexion is porcelain-pale, and her eyes are wide with shock.
Secret Service Agent
secondary
A middle-aged agent with a muscular build, clean-shaven face, and sharp features
Lee Harvey Oswald
secondary
A slender, pale man in his early 20s with a receding hairline and sharp features. His intense gaze is focused down the rifle scope, his thin lips pressed into a tight line. He has a wiry build, standing about 5'9" with a slightly hunched posture from years of manual labor and military service.
Bystander Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a slightly plump build, her face flushed with panic. Her brown hair is styled in a short, curled bob typical of the early 1960s, and her hazel eyes are wide with shock. She wears cat-eye glasses that have slipped slightly down her nose in her distress.
