GARY - 1-Star Dasher (character select design)

Generated from: Gritty high-contrast PIXEL ART character design, detailed 32-bit arcade fighting game sprite style, chunky readable silhouette, bold black outlines, hard-edged shading with dithering, no anti-aliasing blur. FROZEN SET STYLE (identical for this whole series): full body STANDING READY fighting pose, planted wide, fists up and hands fully visible, facing three-quarter toward the viewer's left, centered in frame with even margins. Backdrop identical every time: dark rain-slicked neon alley - wet black asphalt with puddles mirroring electric blue and deep red signs, stained brick wall behind, a glowing vertical neon tube to the left, a doorway on the right, chain-link fence texture, thin rain streaks. Key light comes from the UPPER RIGHT: cold electric blue rim light on the character's right side, deep red bounce fill on the left, everything else falling into near-black shadow. Lighting and palette mood: high contrast, gritty, raw, unpolished, like a dive bar at 2 AM. Composition: head to shoes fully in frame, character is a crisp cutout against the dark alley, and an empty dark strip across the bottom quarter of the image is left clear for a name plate - nothing important in that strip. CHARACTER: GARY - "1-Star Dasher", male, mid 30s, sleazy and sweaty, sleep-deprived eyes, scraggly goatee, unwashed greasy hair under a crooked cap. He wears a wrinkled orange insulated delivery courier uniform: a stained zip jacket over a grubby untucked shirt with pit stains, cheap name-tag holder with no readable writing, baggy worn jeans with one knee blown out, one shoe untied, and he carries a big battered insulated delivery food bag slung on one shoulder with a cup-holder tray of drinks strapped to it, a carabiner of keys on his hip, phone in one raised fist. PALETTE (dominant, must read clearly): burnt orange #d9532a as his uniform signature color, with dirty off-white #e8e2d8 as the second accent (grubby uniform shirt, paper food bag, sweat stains, scuffed shoe tops), with near-black shadow. Street-level grit, sloppy and unreliable, sweaty and pathetic in a mean way, not a hero. No text, no letters, no numbers, no logo, no watermark, no name plate graphic, no border, only one character in frame.
