Create Character

Create a durable identity record that can be reused across Creative Claw generation. A Character stores a description, one canonical image, and optionally a consented ElevenLabs cloned voice; it is not a newly trained visual model.

Workflow

1. Check list_characters for an existing match before creating a duplicate.
2. Define the identity sheet: name, role, age range, face, hair, build, wardrobe anchors, distinctive details, speaking style, and traits that must not drift.
3. Obtain a clean canonical portrait. Use a supplied reference, or generate and approve one with creativeclaw-generate-image before saving it.
4. Call manage_character({ title, description, image_url }). Omit id to create; keep the description visual and stable rather than scene-specific.
5. If the user wants a reusable custom voice, route to creativeclaw-clone-voice. Require explicit consent and a suitable voice sample before calling clone_voice.
6. Run a low-cost image or voice audition if the Character will anchor a larger production. Update the record only with approved changes.

Visual consistency

• Use the canonical Character image for identity and create separate wardrobe, pose, or environment references as ordinary assets.
• Passing character_id to generate_image or generate_video uses the saved visual when no primary image is supplied. When a storyboard or product shot already occupies image_url, do not assume the Character image is also included; pass it through a supported reference array when the selected model allows it.
• Keep identity facts constant and put scene actions, camera, lighting, and temporary wardrobe in the generation prompt.
