The tag consists of two counter-rotating chrome layers separated by a translucent blue-screen gel that glows intensely when crossing league boundaries. Its surface displays a pulsing neon silhouette that cycles through the player's iconic poses from different movie genres—heist runner, fantasy warrior, test pilot—proving their identity persists across all realities. Embedded within is a holographic film strip showing ghostly alternate versions of the player's performance in leagues they haven't yet entered, serving as both preview and prophecy. The outer edge is perforated like 35mm film stock, and when held at certain angles, reveals a prismatic rainbow effect where different league aesthetics bleed through the chrome surface.

The Traveling Matte serves as the VaporGrid's reality compositor, enabling players to remain the protagonist of their own story even as they traverse incompatible cinematic genres, while simultaneously teaching the simulation how to blend disparate 80s movie aesthetics into coherent transitions. Each boundary crossing refines the VaporGrid's compositing algorithms, slowly building toward the Finale Tournament Invitational where all ten genres will be layered simultaneously.
