Riven — The Fragmented Witness

Core impression as a 2d top down rpg character sprites

Riven should look like a man who was not equipped, but escaped.

He should not look like a clean JRPG hero at first. He should look like someone wearing prison-issue tech, scavenged exosuit pieces, illegal repairs, and one or two relic details that do not match the rest of him.

Body build

Lean, hard, underfed, wiry. Not bulky. More like someone who survives through tension and reflex rather than training-room muscle.

He should move slightly forward-leaning, like he is always ready to run or strike.

Prison Scavenger

Look: torn lunar prison underlayer, half-fastened PSI harness, mismatched gauntlet, exposed cable down one arm, cracked chest regulator.

Clothing:

* dark pressure-suit undersuit;
* prison ID strip burned or scratched out;
* one heavy PSI gauntlet, one lighter damaged glove;
* broken collar restraint still around the neck;
* short jacket or waist cloak made from emergency thermal material.

Riven looks like a man who escaped before the world finished deciding what he was. He is lean, wiry, underfed, and tense rather than bulky — built like a survivor, not a soldier. His posture leans forward, as if he is always halfway between running and striking. His face is sharp and exhausted, with deep-set guarded eyes, a split brow or temple scar, and dark uneven hair marked by one pale stress streak near a BEI implant scar. He should look dangerous, but not heroic in a clean way. He looks like evidence that learned to move.  

His Act I outfit is mostly prison damage: a dark charcoal lunar pressure-suit, broken restraint collar, cracked chest harness, exposed Spine Nexus/backplate, visible cartridge slots, and scavenged pressure gear. His most important feature is the oversized damaged PSI gauntlet on one arm. It should look less like a cool weapon and more like a restraint tool he tore off the prison and forced into becoming a weapon. Small cyan PSI lights flicker through the gauntlet, while red warning diodes suggest the whole thing is unstable.  

He also wears a torn ash-gray thermal mantle or half-cloak, likely ripped from prison emergency material. It has a dirty faded orange lining and ragged edges, giving him a strong silhouette in motion. The mantle should not feel elegant yet; it is survival fabric first, symbolism second. Combined with the gauntlet, collar, and backplate, it makes him read as an escaped lunar prisoner still wearing pieces of the machine that tried to classify him.
