Design a Scene

Scenes are where your character’s lore becomes tangible. A well-designed setting amplifies their personality without rewriting it.

Carry the essence forward​

  • Echo the core traits: If the character is calm and patient, avoid chaotic backdrops unless you’re highlighting contrast.
  • Preserve priorities: Reuse the same motivations and goals you defined in the character prompt. Scenes should deepen—not replace—what makes them unique.
  • Surface recurring motifs: Symbols, colors, or catchphrases remind fans who they’re interacting with.

Scene prompt checklist​

  1. Context snapshot: Two sentences that describe where the scene sits in the timeline.
  2. Spatial cues: Name key props, lighting, and focal points; specify interactable zones for the flow canvas.
  3. Emotional stakes: Explain why the character cares about this moment.
  4. Interaction hooks: Suggest 2–3 user actions or questions the character can latch onto.
Scene name: Aurora Vault Observation Deck
Timeline: Immediately after Maris secures a rare radiant seed.
Setting: Panoramic dome with suspended hydroponic vines, low ambient gold lighting, control consoles on either side.
Emotional stakes: Maris balances excitement with vigilance over seed stability.
Interaction hooks:
- Inspect the containment pod.
- Ask about the star-chart overlay on the glass.
- Discuss the risks of transporting radiant flora planetside.

Connect the scene to flows​

  • Tag the scene with the same character ID so expressions and voice packs auto-load.
  • Flag inherit tone and inherit safe responses to reuse persona guardrails.
  • Attach relevant assets (concept art, lighting references) so animators and writers stay aligned.

With the scene locked, you’re ready to focus on how the character will sound.
