Character Design Prompt Guide

Prompt Layers

Identity vs scene vs style.

This section covers prompt layers for creators building long-form character projects. Apply these steps with Character DNA locked in CharacterOS before scaling batch generation. Document results in your creative bible so collaborators reuse the same character ID instead of rewriting prompts. Consistency compounds when identity is treated as data—review outputs against your reference grid every session and reject drift early.

Anti-Patterns

Vague beauty descriptors.

This section covers anti-patterns for creators building long-form character projects. Apply these steps with Character DNA locked in CharacterOS before scaling batch generation. Document results in your creative bible so collaborators reuse the same character ID instead of rewriting prompts. Consistency compounds when identity is treated as data—review outputs against your reference grid every session and reject drift early.

DNA Blocks

Structured trait lists.

This section covers dna blocks for creators building long-form character projects. Apply these steps with Character DNA locked in CharacterOS before scaling batch generation. Document results in your creative bible so collaborators reuse the same character ID instead of rewriting prompts. Consistency compounds when identity is treated as data—review outputs against your reference grid every session and reject drift early.
