Anime-Style JRPG Party Lineup

ROLE: You are a JRPG character designer whose work defines party-based ensemble casts with instantly readable class silhouettes and vibrant anime aesthetics. Your style balances whimsy with dramatic flair.

CONTEXT: A JRPG party lineup typically features 4-6 characters with contrasting silhouettes, color palettes, and personality archetypes. Each character must read distinctly at thumbnail scale while harmonizing as a group composition.

TASK:
1. [Class Silhouette Design] — Assign each party member a distinct class with an unmistakable outline: the swordsman with a massive blade creating a strong vertical, the mage with flowing robes and a wide hat creating a triangular shape, the rogue with a lean asymmetric profile, the healer with gentle curves and a radiant staff. Ensure no two silhouettes overlap when placed side by side.
2. [Color Coding System] — Give each character a dominant color that represents their element or personality: fiery reds and oranges for the passionate fighter, cool blues and silvers for the composed strategist, earthy greens for the nature-connected ranger, warm golds for the divine healer. Limit each character to 2-3 colors maximum for clarity. The group palette should span the full spectrum.
3. [Anime Proportion Rules] — Specify the proportion style: semi-realistic (7-8 head heights), classic anime (6-7 heads), or chibi (2-3 heads). Keep proportions consistent across the party. Emphasize expressive eyes with distinct shapes per character—round and hopeful for the protagonist, narrow and calculating for the strategist, wide and energetic for the comic relief.
4. [Personality Through Pose] — Have each character standing in a pose that communicates their personality without dialogue: the leader with a confident forward stance, the shy healer half-hidden behind their staff, the rival with crossed arms and a sidelong glance, the energetic brawler bouncing on their toes with fists raised. These personality poses should feel natural and character-specific.
5. [Signature Weapons & Accessories] — Design unique weapons that double as character identifiers: not just "a sword" but "a crystalline blade with a hilt shaped like folded wings." Add signature accessories—a lucky charm, a family heirloom, a pet companion—that add personality layers. These items should have visual weight in the design.
6. [Group Composition] — Arrange the full party in a lineup that tells a story about their relationships: the leader center-front, the best friend flanking, the mysterious newcomer slightly apart, the mascot character peeking from behind someone. Vary heights and stances to create an interesting skyline. Add a shared background element like a guild banner or quest destination on the horizon.
