A default request ("make a beautiful woman", "make a funny old man") gets the model's average person: pleasant, symmetrical, forgettable. Characters that spread have a gap between what people expect and what they see, written in exact, visible details. The prompt is the whole craft: who they are, what their face and body look like, what they wear.
1. Define the character
One line of premise + one archetype + one contrast.
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| Premise | "84-year-old Sicilian grandmother who solves everything with a wooden spoon" |
| Archetype | very old · big guy · cringe deadpan · beautiful woman · fitness · absurd hybrid · cartoon |
| Contrast | age vs behaviour (a granny on a scooter), size vs job (a 160 kg florist in a tiny pink apron), seriousness vs costume (a deadpan man on roller skates), object vs life (a T-rex made of bread) |
