Characters
Irish War Leader
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His arms bear old battle scars, and his muscular frame shows the strength of a lifetime of warfare. His long, unruly hair is tied back with a leather band, and his piercing gaze is filled with the fire of leadership.
Viking Chieftain
primary
A towering figure in his late 40s, with a muscular build honed by years of battle. His long, unkempt blonde hair is streaked with gray, tied back with a leather thong. A thick, braided beard adorned with small silver rings frames his weathered face, which bears several old scars. His piercing blue eyes gleam with both cunning and ferocity.
Young Warrior
secondary
A lean but muscular young man in his late teens, with fair skin, fiery red hair tied back with a leather thong, and intense blue eyes. His face is smeared with woad paint in swirling patterns, and he has a fresh scar across his left cheek—a mark from his first battle.
Viking Warrior
secondary
A battle-hardened Norse fighter in his late 30s, standing over six feet tall with a muscular build honed by years of raiding. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one running from his left eyebrow to cheek. His blond beard is braided with leather strips, and his wild hair is tied back with a simple iron ring. His pale blue eyes are sharp with battle focus.
Irish Archer
background
A wiry man in his late 20s with sun-browned skin and wind-tousled auburn hair tied back with a leather thong. His keen green eyes are narrowed in concentration, with faint crow's feet from squinting at distant targets. His hands bear callouses from years of bowstring use, and a thin scar runs along his left forearm.
Viking Shieldmaiden
background
A fierce Viking woman in her late 20s, with a muscular yet agile build, her sun-weathered face framed by braided blonde hair streaked with dirt and sweat. A long scar runs diagonally across her left cheekbone. Her piercing blue eyes are focused intently on the battlefield, reflecting both determination and battle-hardened resolve.
