How do you make the background darker than the character?

Ok so this may be a little confusing, but how you you have a normal background and then slowly darken it and the character stands out (still bright). I’m not talking about a night background, but having a normal background that fades darker…
Do I need a black overlay that has a low opacity?

Use a black overlay. Then change the opacity from 0 to 1.
@overlay (your overlay) opacity 1 in s.
Note that this black overlay’s layer number must be less than that of your character.

what is the exact coding for an overlay’s opacity to be at zero to start?

&overlay (your overlay) opacity 0 in 0

You don’t have to set the opacity to zero at start. It will be zero when you create the overlay.
