CHARACTER: Canvas 1024x1024, transparent PNG. Draw ONE friendly 1930s rubber-hose cartoon character (Cuphead style: thick wobbly black ink lines, flat muted vintage colours, light film grain, big pie-cut eyes) facing straight at the viewer, both eyes level and looking out.

Head: a little wider than usual, 350px wide centred on x=512 (head left x=337, right x=687), crown y=210, eye line y=425 with eye centres near x=447 and x=577, chin y=665, domed cranium, gently narrowing jaw, no mouth drawn (smooth blank skin where a mouth goes, centre near x=512 y=570).

Neck: thin stick-like neck, narrowest at y=700, about 60px wide (x=482 to x=542), meeting the shoulders at y=740.

Body: thin 'fat stickman' rubber-hose torso, narrow sloping shoulders and upper chest running off the bottom edge, arms down and out of view, nothing in front of the chest. NO clothing, collar, scarf, necklace, chain, hat or glasses; bare neck and shoulders, opaque skin.

Output: character/base.png.

Weights file: character/weights.json with {"base": 1}.

BACKGROUND: Canvas 1024x1024, fully opaque PNG, same 1930s Cuphead cartoon style (hand-inked outlines, flat muted vintage palette, sepia film grain, painted watercolour-like skies).

Each image is a retro platformer game level scene: e.g. grassy floating platforms, a carnival boardwalk, a spooky graveyard, an underwater reef, a candy land, a cloud kingdom, a desert pyramid, a haunted mansion hall, a forest with mushrooms, a pirate dock, a factory with gears, a night city rooftop. Keep the centre (x=300-724, y=180-1024) low-detail and lower-contrast so the character reads in front; no characters, enemies or text in the scene. 12 distinct levels.

Outputs: background/bg_01.png to background/bg_12.png.

Weights file: background/weights.json mapping each file name to weight 1. Also write artifacts/base_b.png and artifacts/base_c.png: two more takes of the SAME character on the SAME template and pose, each a SEPARATE, FRESHLY GENERATED image (run the image tool again for each one; never copy, edit, recolour or re-save base.png), so that if one comes out too big, too small or off-centre another may fit.

Write artifacts/base.png, artifacts/background_01.png .. background_12.png, and artifacts/traits.json: {"backgrounds":[{"file","name","weight"}...]} with weights summing to 100.
