TNGF
SELECTED
Emergency Responder Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man in his late 40s with a stocky, muscular build from years of firefighting. His face is weathered with deep lines around his eyes and mouth, and his short-cropped hair is streaked with gray. He has a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that command attention.
Resident
primary
A middle-aged homeowner, dressed in practical storm gear—a soaked windbreaker over a t-shirt and jeans, rubber boots splashing through the rising water. Their face is streaked with rain and sweat, eyes wide with a mix of fear and determination.
Coast Guard Officer
secondary
A fit man in his late 30s with a clean-shaven face and short-cropped dark hair. His military bearing is evident in his upright posture and alert gaze, scanning the storm surge with practiced assessment.
Neighbor
secondary
An elderly woman in her late 70s, with a frail but determined build. Her silver hair is disheveled from the wind, and her pale skin shows deep wrinkles from years of coastal living. She moves slowly, leaning heavily on a wooden cane for support.
News Reporter
background
A determined journalist in their late 20s to early 30s, with a lean but sturdy build, wearing a wind-resistant jacket. Their face is partially obscured by a hood, but their focused eyes and slightly clenched jaw are visible, showing their determination to document the event despite the dangerous conditions.
