TNGF
SELECTED
Legionary Centurion
primary
A battle-hardened Roman officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His short-cropped hair is streaked with grey, and his piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold efficiency. His face is smeared with dirt and blood, and his knuckles are white from gripping his gladius.
Defender Captain
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of militia service. His dark hair is cropped short, and a fresh gash runs along his left cheekbone. His hands are calloused and grip his sword with practiced ease.
Legionary Soldier
secondary
A young Roman legionary in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from years of training. His face is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his short-cropped hair is damp with perspiration. His eyes are wide with a mix of adrenaline and fear, reflecting the chaos of the assault.
Cremonese Elder
secondary
A wiry old man in his late 60s with deep-set eyes and a face lined by decades of hard labor. His thinning gray hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his hands show callouses from years of working with stone and wood.
Cremonese Woman
background
A middle-aged woman with a wiry frame, her face smudged with soot and sweat. Her dark hair is loosely tied back, with strands escaping in the chaos. Her arms are sinewy from years of labor, now gripping roof tiles with desperate strength.
