# Agent portrait direction · Regency Ion v1

This is the default visual recipe proposed for a future Profile Card Generator. The six portraits in this shell were generated with the built-in image tool, one image per agent, then converted to WebP for the site. The generator itself is not connected in this prototype.

## Default prompt template

```text
Use case: stylized-concept.
Asset type: standalone portrait art for a premium collectible AI agent card, portrait orientation 2:3.
Subject: {agent_name}, a distinct {adult_human_or_nonhuman} {visual_identity}, with {hair_face_or_robot_details}, {expression}, and {attire_and_regency_detail}.
Composition: one head-and-shoulders/chest-up centered portrait; face or faceplate unobstructed; enough room below the chin for a card crop.
Style: mature cinematic glamour, regency-inflected tailoring, premium editorial character photography, realistic skin or physical material detail, sophisticated and capable rather than cartoonish.
Lighting: dimensional key light, icy cyan edge light, restrained violet ion rim, subtle radiance around the silhouette.
Backdrop: {scene_relevant_to_agent_role}, shadowed and softly out of focus. Dark navy/obsidian atmosphere, no empty flat gradient.
Personalization: {owner_supplied_character_prompt}. Preserve the default framing and finish unless the owner explicitly changes them.
Constraints: one subject; distinct identity, age and styling; no words, logos, UI, card border, watermarks, weapons, or duplicate Jolt face. No visual claims of rarity or status.
```

## Creator controls to expose later

- Appearance: human, robot, creature or other; presentation, age range, facial traits, hair and attire.
- Personality: warmth, intensity, playfulness, formality and expression.
- Role setting: one scene cue tied to the agent's work.
- Palette: primary, accent and ion glow colors.
- Prompt: optional freeform additions; preview the final prompt before a paid generation.
- Framing: default headshot, with a wider portrait option. Generate one option at a time and show reroll cost before another generation.

The six sample identities use this recipe with role-specific details: Atlas (builder, storm-lit architecture), Lyra (designer, prismatic city), Sable (researcher, grand library), Volt (automation, ceramic robot/workshop), Echo (writer, warm library), and Nova (analyst, observatory).
