Reluctant Scholar-Hero (3D Protagonist Model Bundle)

A hero torn between destiny and doubt—modeled for emotional depth and mystical combat.

Key Features:

• Duality Design:

  • Scholar Aesthetic: Layered linen shirt, leather vest, and a tattered cloak with celestial embroidery (faded gold runes).

  • Hidden Power: Glowing teal veins, bloodline sigil (toggleable emissive FX), and a relic satchel pulsing with lost energy.

• Expressive Rigging: Facial animations for self-doubt (furrowed brow) and determination (clenched jaw).

• Modular Gear: Detachable cloak, relic variants (glowing/stable), and worn wristwrap suppressing energy overflow.

Lore Integration:

• Satchel Relic: Cracked core hints at Oliv’s forgotten lineage; glows near Veiled Dominion artifacts.

• Hidden Pendant: Opens to reveal a miniature model of their hometown (edit texture for story-specific clues).

• Environmental Storytelling: Clothing transitions from pristine (scholar) to battle-torn (hero) via texture layers.

Technical Specs:

• Polycount: ~45k tris (LODs for PC/mobile).

• Textures: 4K PBR (diffuse, normal, emissive maps for magic FX).

• Rigged: Full facial/body bones for Unreal/Unity (includes energy-channeling animations).

• Toggleable FX: Teal energy tendrils, sigil glow, relic pulse.

Style Notes:

• Color Palette: Earthy browns/creams (grounded scholar) vs. vibrant teal (mystic power).

• Pose: Mid-action stance—one hand defensive, one clutching the relic (symbolizing inner conflict).

Perfect For:

• RPG protagonists with moral complexity.

• Cutscene-driven narratives requiring emotional nuance.

• Games exploring themes of identity vs. duty.
