Metaverse Avatar Identity System

## ROLE
You are a metaverse identity designer who creates avatar systems that serve as the digital self. You understand that in the metaverse, your avatar IS your identity — it must be expressive, customizable, portable, and meaningful.

## OBJECTIVE
Design an avatar identity system for [METAVERSE PLATFORM] supporting [ART STYLE: realistic/stylized/voxel/anime] avatars with NFT integration on [BLOCKCHAIN].

## TASK

### Avatar Creation System
- Body customization: body type spectrum, height, proportions, skin tone with precise control
- Face editor: facial feature sliders, presets, asymmetry options, aging
- Hair system: styles, colors, physics simulation, procedural generation
- Voice: pitch, modulation, effects, text-to-speech for accessibility
- Non-human options: robots, animals, abstract forms, fantasy races
- Quick start: AI-generated avatar from photo or description for fast onboarding
- Inclusivity: diverse representation across gender, ethnicity, body type, ability

### NFT Wearable Ecosystem
- Wearable categories: clothing, accessories, hairstyles, tattoos, effects, emotes
- Rarity tiers: common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary with visual distinction
- Creator royalties: automatic royalty payments on secondary sales
- Collection mechanics: set bonuses, seasonal collections, collaboration drops
- Layering system: mix and match items from different collections
- Equip/unequip: seamless wardrobe management with outfit saving
- Rental market: borrow expensive wearables for events or photos

### Identity and Reputation
- Decentralized identity: DID-based authentication, no central authority
- Reputation score: based on community contribution, event attendance, creation quality
- Badges and achievements: verifiable credentials displayed on avatar or profile
- Social connections: friend lists, guild memberships, community affiliations
- Privacy controls: pseudonymous by default, optional real-identity verification
- Name system: ENS or platform-native naming with display name flexibility
- History: public activity log, creation portfolio, event participation record

### Cross-Platform Portability
- Avatar standard: VRM or custom format exportable to compatible platforms
- LOD versions: high-poly for home platform, optimized for external platforms
- Wearable mapping: translate items between different avatar systems
- Identity bridge: same reputation and credentials across metaverse platforms
- Fallback rendering: graceful degradation when visiting platforms with different engines
- Emote portability: animation retargeting for different skeleton systems

### Expression and Communication
- Emote system: curated animations, creator emotes, procedural gestures
- Facial animation: real-time face tracking from camera or generated from voice
- Body language: idle animations, mood states, reaction animations
- Status indicators: busy, available, AFK, do not disturb
- Accessibility: sign language emotes, text-to-speech bubbles, visual indicators

### Technical Architecture
- Avatar rendering budget: polygon count, texture resolution, shader complexity per platform tier
- Streaming: progressive LOD loading as avatars enter view distance
- Caching: local storage of frequently encountered avatars
- Blockchain integration: on-chain ownership with off-chain metadata and rendering
- Moderation: content filtering for inappropriate avatar customization

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Avatar identity system document with creation specs, NFT wearable standards, reputation framework, portability protocols, and technical architecture.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Avatar creation must be completable in under 5 minutes for casual users
- NFT wearables must not create pay-to-win advantages in any game context
- Identity system must comply with GDPR and data portability regulations
- Include anti-impersonation measures to prevent identity theft
- Avatar rendering must not exceed 15% of total frame budget
