# Money Man — RVRS character sheet

Money Man is an original RVRS cartoon character: a smug, cheerful, oblivious
fat-cat central banker who prints board-game money. He satirizes dollar
debasement — he is never the hero, always the punchline. First appearance:
the "Sell the Dollar" card on rvrs.ai (2026-08-06).

This file is the canonical spec. Any agent drawing new Money Man art follows it.

## Legal guardrail

Money Man ALLUDES to the board-game-tycoon archetype but is our own character.
- Never call him "Monopoly man", "Mr. Monopoly" or "Rich Uncle Pennybags".
- Never use Hasbro trade dress: no Monopoly board, logotype, "GO" square,
  Chance/Community Chest cards, or the game's token designs.
- He is "Money Man", an RVRS original.

## Style rules

- Flat vector cartoon. Simple geometric shapes, generous curves, no gradients,
  no outlines (exception: bills get a 1.2–1.5 stroke).
- He is drawn in SVG, by hand, on a 320×320 viewBox unless a layout needs otherwise.
- Comic energy comes from pose and props, not facial detail: the face is two dot
  eyes, a monocle, and a big walrus mustache. No mouth — the mustache covers it.
- His sound effect is `brrr…` set in Georgia italic, small, near the printer/money.
- Backgrounds: cream paper #f0e9d6 with faint concentric "guilloche" circles
  (stroke rgba(30,70,51,.14) and .10) — like a banknote's engraving.

## Anatomy (canonical proportions, 320-unit canvas, standing figure)

- Head: circle r=26. Eyes: two dots r≈2.6, the right eye ringed by a gold
  monocle (circle r=8, stroke-width 2.5) with a chain: a thin gold quadratic
  curve falling from the monocle toward the lapel.
- Top hat: crown rect 44×32 (rx 4) + brim ellipse rx=31 ry=6 sitting on the
  head's crown + a dark-red band rect 44×7 at the crown's base.
- Mustache: white walrus shape under the nose line, e.g.
  `M96 96 q7 9 16 9 q9 0 16 -9 q-4 12 -16 12 q-12 0 -16 -12`
  (scale/translate to the head).
- Body: rounded rect ≈60×86, rx=16, black — he is egg-shaped, no neck.
  White shirt = small triangle at the collar; bowtie = red diamond over it.
- Arms: single thick strokes, stroke-width 11, round linecaps, gentle q-curves.
  Hands: skin circles r=7 at the stroke ends.
- Legs (when shown): two short black rects ≈16×30 + black ellipse shoes.
- Bills: rect 38×20 rx=2, fill #8fbb8a, stroke #2E6B4F 1.5, centered Georgia
  "$" in #1e4633. They fly, rain, or stack — always slightly rotated.
- Money printer (his main prop): green box ≈106×62 rx=8 (#1e4633), darker
  top slot, two dark roller circles, a #dfe8d5 sheet emerging, crank he holds.

## Character traits (for writing/copy)

- Smug, cheerful, completely oblivious to consequences.
- Never speaks in sentences; the printer speaks for him: `brrr…`
- He believes more printing fixes everything, including too much printing.
- Props that fit him: the printer, bill showers, a wheelbarrow of bills,
  turned-out empty pockets (for the crash panel), a shrinking dollar.

## Pose recipes (existing)

1. **The Print** (canonical): side stance, right arm to the printer crank,
   bills flying up-right, `brrr…` caption. Source: rvrs.ai Sell the Dollar card
   and moneyman.rvrs.ai hero.
2. **The Portrait**: bust, head + hat + shoulders + bowtie, monocle gleam.
3. **The Shower**: arms up, five bills raining around him, confetti joy.

New poses are welcome — keep the anatomy, palette, and guardrails above.
