@TTAships A humanoid robotic figure sits centered against a marble-patterned wall decorated with red geometric borders and symbols. The figure's head is light gray with exposed mechanical parts near the jaw, tilted downward. It wears a layered bright red garment over white and off-white segmented robotic limbs. Its hands are clasped in front, holding a thin metallic object, while a sword hilt protrudes behind its shoulder. Red circular symbols appear at the top corners of the background wall.
