A character sheet arranged as a strict 4x4 grid: 16 equal square cells separated by thin straight white lines, no gaps, no text, no labels, no numbers, no watermark. Each cell holds one photorealistic head-and-shoulders portrait, face centered, looking at the camera, same soft natural daylight and same muted color grading in every cell, plain neutral grey-beige background, realistic skin texture and pores, documentary photography style, 85mm lens look. Setting: Mesolithic Crimea about 8000 BC. Clothing only animal hides, furs and leather; ornaments of bone, teeth or shells; no metal jewelry, no modern items, no makeup. ALL people are Europoid (Caucasian) in appearance - European facial features, no East Asian or Central Asian features - average height, tanned olive or wind-burned skin, mostly dark hair; grown men have beards. MEN NEVER WEAR BRAIDS: men have loose hair or hair tied back at the nape. Only women have braids. Steppe people look like the others, just more weathered by wind and sun.
