What it is
The cast bible. Every named NPC, hero, and villain gets a profile with role (Protagonist / Antagonist / Companion / …), alignment, importance, motivation, flaw, backstory, custom attributes, a portrait, and any number of linked asset files (voice clips, concept art, model previews).
When to use it
- Building out your cast — one character per row, keep names canonical.
- Recording role/alignment/importance for quick filtering in big projects.
- Attaching voice recordings, concept art, or 3D models per character.
- Cross-referencing characters in chapters via the `@name` tag.
How to use it
- 1Click "+ Add Character" and fill in name, role, species, importance.
- 2Open the sheet to edit motivation, goal, flaw, backstory in detail.
- 3Add custom attributes (stats, skills, equipment) below the standard fields.
- 4Upload a portrait — it appears wherever the character is referenced.
- 5In the Linked Assets section, attach voice clips, model files, or external Drive/S3 URLs.
Tips you should know
- →The role badge colour comes from `storytype` — Protagonist is indigo, Antagonist is red, Companion is green.
- →Importance values must be from the fixed set (Major / Supporting / Minor / Cameo / Unnamed) — anything else renders blank.
- →Linked assets per character respect your project's storage budget; external URLs don't count against it.
- →The Relationships module renders an editable graph from your character list — define the cast here first.
