Scanline Character Sheet
========================

12 hologram character sheet and stat widgets for dark interfaces — ocean black
with ember orange accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Scanline Character Sheet is a set of 12 character sheet and stat widgets drawn
in the hologram style, where a thin trace carries a wide halo, and most of the
frame is empty space. It contains a stat row and an alternating band row,
three comparison marks, a six-axis and a five-axis radar frame, an equipment
doll frame, an empty and an occupied equipment slot and two set bonus strips.

The character sheet exists to answer one question, whether this new piece is
better than the one already worn, and the piece of art that answers it is the
smallest one in the kit. Most sets ship the frames and leave the comparison
arrows to the engine, which is where they come out as a font glyph in a set
that draws everything else by hand.

The halo is a stack of strokes at falling opacity rather than a blur filter —
a filter is applied differently by some SVG rasterisers and smears at 4x. The
trace is deliberately thin: a projected interface reads as light, and a heavy
line reads as paint.

Inside that style this is the Scanline reading of it: a dark interface on a
ocean black palette with ember orange accents, built around a single bordered
frame, chamfered buttons at 120x34, hollow-cored bars divided into 24
segments, and two-tone icons on a 16px grid. Those measurements are why two
families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style
decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The up and down arrows are separate sprites rather than one arrow flipped,
because both appear in the same comparison table and a flipped arrow lights
from the wrong side. There is a third mark for unchanged, which matters more
than it sounds: no arrow at all is ambiguous between equal and not comparable.
The radar frame ships as grid and axes only, without a value polygon, because
the values come from the game. What the kit owes is the scale, and it ships at
both five and six axes so a stat system is not forced to have as many
attributes as the artist assumed.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Scanline family,
which means this kit and the Scanline panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for sci-fi projections, scanners and near-future overlays.

HOW TO USE

  - Draw your value polygon over the radar frame in engine; the frame is a
    fixed scale with rings at even fractions, so a polygon can be plotted
    straight against it.
  - Use all three comparison marks including the unchanged one. An absent
    arrow does not mean equal.
  - Alternate the plain and banded stat rows down a long list rather than
    adding your own zebra fill; the band is drawn at a tone that survives the
    family retint.
  - The equipment doll leaves its centre empty for your own character
    portrait, and the slot positions around it match the standalone equipment
    slot size exactly.
