# Monster Fighter: You in a 90s Halloween Arcade Game

Turn your selfie into a pixel-art monster fighter — pick vampire, werewolf, mummy and more.

## Prompt

```text
Use the attached photo as the identity reference. Transform the person into a full-body {{Monster}} fighter in a classic 1990s 2D arcade fighting game, rendered in crisp pixel art.

IDENTITY:
Preserve the person's recognizable face, facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, age, gender, and expression. Keep glasses, facial hair, and distinctive features. Add the {{Monster}} traits on top of their real features — for example fangs and a high-collared cape for a vampire, fur, pointed ears and claws for a werewolf, loose bandages for a mummy — while their face stays clearly recognizable as them.

FIGHTER DESIGN:
Design an original {{Monster}} fighter costume that suits the person's style in the photo, with bold silhouettes, strong colors, and martial-arts-ready details typical of 90s arcade fighters. Do not copy any existing game character. Pose them in a confident fighting stance with raised fists or claws, balanced adult proportions, believable anatomy, and the entire body visible including both feet, with space around the character.

PIXEL ART STYLE:
Render everything as classic 2D arcade pixel art: visible square pixels, deliberate pixel clusters, strong dark outlines, a limited spooky palette (deep purples, moonlit blues, pumpkin orange, sickly greens), and stepped highlights and shadows. Add a few pixel effects: glowing eyes, drifting bats, or a faint purple aura.

STAGE:
Create a pixel-art {{Stage}} background with layered depth: silhouetted trees or structures, fog bands, a big moon, and small animated-looking details like flickering candles or jack-o'-lanterns.

ARCADE UI:
- Top-left and top-right health bars with yellow health and red depleted sections.
- "{{Fighter Name}}" under the left health bar and "CPU" under the right one, with small pixel portraits.
- A centered "ROUND 1" banner and a "99" timer.
- Small round-win markers.
- Blue segmented "SUPER" meters at the bottom corners.

COMPOSITION:
Vertical 4:5 frame with one full-body fighter. Keep the UI readable and clear of the face and feet.

AVOID:
Photorealistic elements, smooth 3D rendering, blur, gore, real game logos or characters, misspelled UI text, watermarks, distorted hands, and extra limbs.
