Ren: Relentless

reference_handling: "CRITICAL: @image1 is the ONLY uploaded reference and is STRICTLY a face/likeness anchor — Ren's identity comes from it and nothing else. DO NOT copy any background, framing, crop, lighting, or pose from @image1; it is a face source only. Suit, katana, and the entire mall environment are defined in TEXT below. All pose and blocking come ONLY from the storyboard. Original character."

face_fidelity: "@image1 is the SOLE likeness anchor. Ren's face — bone structure, eye shape, brow, nose, jawline, hairline — must stay locked to @image1 in EVERY shot, including under motion blur, in the slow-motion beat, and in partial-profile/low-angle frames. No identity drift, no morphing into a generic action-hero face between cuts. Re-lock the face on each new camera angle."

style: "Cinematic action realism, 18+ rating tone. Relentless close-quarters swordplay — intensity through visceral speed, heavy impacts, dust, and blade glints. Hard daylight shafts through broken skylights, dust haze. 4K filmic, photoreal — not anime."

visual_feel: "Fast, continuous, weighty, and aggressive. Camera stays CLOSE and locked onto Ren, moving WITH his momentum — no distant wide standing shots. Real blade weight and contact, dust bursts, handheld energy, motion blur. One micro slow-motion accent only."

duration: "15 seconds"


Character Modeling

ren:

  base: "Adult man — face and likeness matching @image1. Suit and katana defined here in text (no reference sheet)."

  features: "Black swept-back hair, dark brown eyes, lean sharp face. Tailored charcoal-black two-piece suit, slim modern cut; open-collar crisp white shirt; dark leather gloves. Single katana — slightly curved polished steel blade, blackened guard, dark wrapped handle, edge catching the daylight."

  movement_in_this_scene: "Never pauses or poses — one continuous flowing combat sequence. Combines low-profile slides, acrobatic strikes, and heavy slashes with realistic martial weight and footwork. Constantly advancing."


zombies:

  base: "Roughly eight to ten undead — gaunt, grey-skinned, ragged, lunging aggressively."

  movement_in_this_scene: "Press in constantly from all sides. They take heavy, cinematic visceral damage (bisected, decapitated) in shadow and fast motion blur as Ren flows through them."


dead_mall:

  base: "Abandoned multi-storey Thai shopping mall atrium, daytime — defined in text (no reference sheet)."

  features: "Broken skylights overhead casting hard daylight shafts, thick dust haze, dead frozen escalators, fallen and rusted Thai-script signage, shuttered metal storefronts, cracked floor tiles, scattered debris, faded peeling wall advertisements."
