When to use it
Use when you have a warrior character to document as a studio-style settings sheet and only need to name and recolor the armor.
How to get the best result
- Keep the name to two or three syllables; it is set twice, as character name and as header title above a fixed badge.
- Keep the chest plate red and the hakama navy, or the palette disagrees; its fixed swatch labels name clan red and navy.
- Write the concept as one line on era and role, and the catchphrase as a short quote that floats behind the portrait.
Watch-outs
- Some thirty small labels across the sections form a dense grid that raises the text-error rate; keep the name short.
- The long JSON skeleton leaves less weight for the five slot values; a paragraph in the concept slot dilutes the rest.
