# BADMONZ Character Build Guide

You're working on characters next — here's what the reference PDFs showed and exactly what to drop.

---

## What your references are

| PDF | What it is | Use for BADMONZ |
|---|---|---|
| **BBGZ character page** (41a62077) | Full character profile — hero, bio tabs, stats, styles, prev/next nav | **`character.html`** template (built) |
| **VeeFriends nav** (19a8c260) | Site menu — Characters, Collectibles, Trading Cards, Shop, etc. | Nav/footer structure on main site |
| **YouTube screenshots** (19d3040d) | Vibe / music references | Playlist only — already added |
| **Other PDF** | Unrelated — ignore for project |

## Character page (live template)

Every Mon gets a profile page:

**`character.html?slug=snarlow`**

Sections (matching your BBGZ reference):
- **Hero** — name, tagline, character art
- **Bio** — personality, SLIME/BITE stats, draw score
- **Styles** — Base, Grime, Chrome, Most Wanted parallels
- **Playground** — which slam games they're best at
- **Prev / Next** — browse the roster

Try it now: [character.html?slug=snarlow](character.html?slug=snarlow)

## What to drop per character

For each Mon, add **two PNGs** (minimum):

```
assets/characters/{slug}.png    ← roster, hero, checklist (square ~500×500)
assets/cards/{slug}.png         ← trading card art (portrait ~500×700)
```

Optional parallels (later):
```
assets/cards/{slug}-grime.png
assets/cards/{slug}-chrome.png
assets/cards/{slug}-gold.png
```

Optional 3D / hero render (later):
```
assets/characters/{slug}-hero.png   ← large hero shot for character page
```

## Adding a new character

1. Add entry to **`js/monz.js`** (name, slug, color, rarity, flavor, slime, bite, tagline)
2. Drop **`assets/characters/{slug}.png`**
3. Drop **`assets/cards/{slug}.png`**
4. Refresh — checklist, binder, pack rip, and character page all update

---

## Expand to 80

Series 4 target is **80 Monz**. Add 48 more entries to `js/monz.js` as you design them. Checklist grid auto-grows.

---

## Priority order

1. **Most Wanted 5** — fussbukkit, goldwart, vileena, sludgehammer, grimeo
2. **Gold Slime 1/1s** — fussbukkit, goldwart, globules
3. **Chrome tier** — grimeo, vileena, cacklesnap, phlegmton
4. **Fill the rest** — any order

Say **"assets dropped"** when PNGs are in the folders and we'll push live.
