Ashes of the Old World - NPC Character Set

Generated from: A production reference sheet of six original 2D pixel-art NPCs for a dark medieval plague-fantasy metroidvania, each full-body and clearly separated on a solid warm gray background, no text, no UI, no overlap. Designs: Ash Keeper who tends a black-flame shrine; scarred Blacksmith with soot-stained apron and hammer; masked Plague Doctor merchant with satchel; blind bell-ringer prophet with staff; runaway child pilgrim carrying a lantern; disgraced Crusader captain with broken sword and torn banner. Side-view three-quarter poses, readable hands and feet, distinct silhouettes, crisp hard-edged 32-bit pixels, dark charcoal and brown shadows with bone white, muted ochre, blood red and sickly green accents, limited palette and subtle dramatic rim light.
