SCRATCH - Nothing Left to Lose (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: SCRATCH - "Nothing Left to Lose", a homeless drug addict, male, gaunt and wiry, hollow hollow-eyed stare, twitchy and desperate, dangerous when cornered. Matted greasy hair, patchy stubble, scabbed knuckles. He wears a filthy layered hoodie under a torn army surplus field jacket, fingerless gloves, stained track pants, one busted shoe, a blanket half-draped off his shoulders like a cape, a plastic bag knotted to his belt, and he grips a broken bottle in one raised fist like a weapon. PALETTE (dominant, must read clearly): acid green #a8d63a as his signature accent - army jacket patches and trim, the bottle glass, sickly green fluorescent glow on him - over dirty olive-drab layers and skin #6b6b4a, with near-black shadow. Street-level grit, desperate and dangerous, not a hero, nothing glamorous or pitiful-cute. No text, no letters, no numbers, no logo, no watermark, no name plate graphic, no border, only one character in frame.
