What is inside
Every mythology has its champions. This pack gathers six: a Norse valkyrie with spear and lantern, a Spartan hoplite with a sun shield, an Egyptian pharaoh sorcerer with a solar staff, a Japanese onmyoji with a spirit lantern, a Celtic druid with an antler circlet and an Aztec jaguar warrior with a war club.
Each hero walks in eight directions, eight frames per direction, on a 144 by 144 canvas with a fixed feet row and body column. They are original designs, drawn to stand together as a party.
Use them as a playable roster, a set of allies or the champions of a faction in your own world.

From download to scene
The included README provides the pack-specific setup. These are image assets you configure in your engine.
Copy the Characters folder into your project and set the default texture filter to Nearest. Make an AnimatedSprite2D animation per direction from that direction's 8 PNGs, set the speed to 10 FPS and the node's offset to (0, -39) so the feet sit on the origin.
Import the PNGs as Sprite (2D and UI) with Filter Mode Point and Compression None. For a walk sheet use Sprite Mode Multiple and slice a 144 by 144 grid. Set a custom pivot of (0.5, 0.2292).
Create a sprite per direction, import its 8 PNGs and set the origin to (72, 111). Set the animation speed to 10 frames per second and turn off colour interpolation in the game options.
