# ============================================================
# DARK FANTASY POSES - KREA2 (natural-language prose)
# Gender-neutral: subject referred to as "the subject"; body parts take
# "the" (the hip, the neck) - no gendered pronouns anywhere.
# Fantasy-flavored through UBIQUITOUS fixtures (weathered stone walls, carved
# pillars, altar and stair steps, mossy roots, iron railings, low ruined walls)
# - NOT location-specific machinery - so they stay portable across every
# environment in the matching environment pool, interior and exterior alike.
# Attribute-clean: no skin, hair, eye, or garment callouts.
# Weapon poses (sword / staff / bow) are grouped at the end so a weapon-free
# draw is easy to keep.
# One pose per line. Pair with __fantasy_environment__ and an outfit line.
# ============================================================

# Standing
the subject stands tall and composed with the weight even on both feet, the shoulders squared and the chin level, a still and regal bearing
the subject stands with the weight settled onto one hip and one hand resting loosely at the waist, the head turned slightly aside, an idle watchful stance
the subject stands with both hands clasped behind the back and the spine straight, feet set and grounded, a formal attentive posture
the subject stands turned three-quarters away gazing off toward the horizon, one hand raised to shade the eyes, a searching far-off stance
the subject stands with the arms folded across the chest and the head lowered in thought, weight rocked back, a brooding closed posture

# Leaning
the subject leans one shoulder against a weathered stone pillar with the ankles crossed and the arms folded, an unhurried waiting pose
the subject rests both forearms folded atop a low ruined wall, leaning out over it with the head lifted to watch the distance
the subject braces one hand flat against a cold stone archway at shoulder height, leaning in with the head bowed, pausing to gather strength
the subject sets one boot up onto a broken step with a forearm draped across the raised knee, leaning forward and looking down

# Kneeling
the subject kneels on one knee with the head bowed and one fist pressed to the ground, a solemn oath-taking or grieving posture
the subject crouches low on the balls of the feet with the forearms draped over the knees, the gaze lifted and forward, a wary ready crouch
the subject kneels upright with both hands resting open on the thighs, the back straight and the head level, a still meditative kneel
the subject squats low with one hand splayed on the stone floor for balance, studying something on the ground, the head lowered

# Seated
the subject sits on the edge of a low stone step with the knees apart and the forearms on the thighs, the shoulders rounded, resting between roads
the subject sits sideways on a broad ruined ledge with one knee drawn up and an arm looped around it, the other leg hanging, gazing outward
the subject sits enthroned on a high carved seat with both hands resting on the armrests and the back erect, a commanding still authority
the subject reclines propped on both elbows across a mossy fallen log with the legs stretched out and the ankles crossed, the head tipped back at ease

# Motion
the subject is caught mid-stride striding forward, the cloak-less shoulders squared and one arm swinging, the weight rolling onto the leading foot
the subject pauses mid-step and turns to look back over one shoulder, the torso twisting while the trailing foot stays planted
the subject moves in a low careful half-crouch with the weight forward and one hand trailing near the ground, stealing forward with caution

# Gestures
the subject raises one open hand before the chest with the fingers spread as if channeling or warding, the head inclined toward the gesture
the subject stretches both arms overhead with the fingers laced and the spine arched, rising onto the toes, a long loosening stretch
the subject stands with one hand raised to the brow and the elbow lifted, the head bowed, a weary or sorrowful gesture

# Weapons
the subject stands at ease with one hand resting on the pommel of a sheathed sword at the hip and the other hanging loose, unhurried but ready
the subject stands planted with both hands folded over the crossguard of a sword point-down before the feet, a steady sentinel posture
the subject stands with a tall staff held upright in one hand and the other arm loose, the weight even, a calm grounded caster's stance
the subject stands side-on in a low guard with a drawn blade held two-handed and angled toward the ground, the weight forward, alert and braced
the subject kneels on one knee behind a low wall with a bow held across the body and an arrow nocked but lowered, the head turned to listen
