TNGF
SELECTED
Tube Passenger
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a slightly overweight build, short brown hair graying at the temples, and pale skin now smudged with soot. His rectangular glasses are askew, and there's a small cut on his forehead from flying debris. His hands tremble visibly.
Bus Driver
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a stocky build, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and a weathered face showing signs of stress. His hands are calloused from years of gripping the steering wheel, and his uniform is slightly rumpled from the morning rush.
Teenage Girl
secondary
A 16-year-old student with a slender build, shoulder-length brown hair tied in a messy ponytail, and pale skin flushed with panic. Her large hazel eyes are wide with fear, and she has a scattering of freckles across her nose.
Medic
secondary
A lean man in his early 30s with short-cropped brown hair and a stubbled jaw. His hands are rough but precise, bearing the marks of frequent sanitizing. Dark circles under his eyes suggest long shifts, but his movements remain efficient.
Construction Worker
background
A burly man in his late 30s with weathered skin, short-cropped dark hair, and strong hands marked by calluses and minor scars from manual labor. His face is streaked with dust and sweat from the explosion.
