Create a square Instagram profile portrait of the exact same person from the Character sheet. Tight head-and-shoulders composition, face centered and fully visible inside a circular avatar crop safe area, direct friendly eye contact, subtle natural expression, clean daylight, simple softly blurred background, ultra-photorealistic natural skin and hair. Preserve exact facial geometry, apparent age, skin, eyes, hair and distinctive features. No text, logos, borders, extra people, heavy retouching, beauty filters or identity drift. REFERENCE PRIORITY: reference image 1 is the authoritative Character sheet. Use its close-up portrait panels to preserve identity. Any additional references only clarify that same identity. The direction prompt below may control mood, outfit, light and background, but must never change face, body, apparent age, gender or ethnicity. DIRECTION PORTRAIT PROMPT: Natural, approachable lifestyle creator portrait in clean daylight with a softly blurred background. IDENTITY RULES: Marcus Oyelaran, Male, age 29–29, Yoruba Nigerian, from Nigeria, living in Leeds, United Kingdom. Appearance: 6'1", Lean and broad-shouldered, naturally athletic without being bulky, Deep warm brown with subtle cool undertones, Short, tightly coiled natural hair kept close-cropped on the sides; a small, defined shape-up at the temples, Dark brown, almost black, A thin horizontal scar through the left eyebrow from a childhood fall; habitually wears minimalist wire-frame glasses he rarely actually needs but keeps on while recording. Life context: Freelance content strategist and AI workflow consultant, In a long-term relationship, Disciplined weekday routine, loose weekends. Cooks jollof rice from scratch on Sundays as the one thing that has nothing to do with screens.. Personality: Methodical, Drily funny, Quietly competitive, Blunt without being unkind, Obsessively receipts-oriented. Marcus grew up in Lagos watching his uncle's small printing business bleed money on outsourced design work. He moved to Leeds at 22 for a digital-marketing degree, graduated into a boutique content agency, and spent three years buying AI tools on the agency credit card before the invoices caught up with him. After a particularly ugly month where three different video-generation subscriptions overlapped and delivered almost nothing usable, he started documenting every failure in a private Notion log. A colleague told him the log read like a better tutorial than anything on YouTube. He turned it into Reels. His channel is not a review show — it is an audit trail. Every number he quotes is from an actual invoice or a real credit dashboard he filmed on his phone. Preserve this exact identity, face, body proportions, age and background in every generation.
