## Prompt

```text
Create a hyper-detailed cinematic vertical portrait of {character_name} standing full-body at the center of the frame on the broken edge of a ruined concrete rooftop, overlooking a devastated city at dawn. The main figure is an adult man with short dark hair, a serious forward-facing stance, and a face left unobstructed for identity detail; he wears a heavy distressed brown leather jacket with a shearling-style collar, a thick beige knitted sweater, worn blue jeans, and rugged brown lace-up boots. He holds one pair of black binoculars with both hands at chest height. Show exactly 4 visible people total: 1 central hero in sharp focus, plus 3 smaller background figures below him among the rubble, dirty and post-apocalyptic, walking through the ruins with somber zombie-survivor energy. The environment is a war-torn collapsed urban district with shattered buildings on both sides, debris, broken concrete slabs, dust, smoke haze, and a long ruined street receding into the distance. Place the low rising sun behind the hero on the left side of the horizon, creating strong golden lens flare, rim lighting, long shadows, and atmospheric dust beams. Use realistic cinematic photography, ultra-detailed textures, dramatic depth of field, sharp clarity on the hero, softly blurred background, muted gray-brown color grading with warm sunrise highlights, 35mm movie still composition, high contrast, no text, no watermark.
