Prism Profile Format

All character .md files in Story/ follow a shared section layout that maps 1:1 to the tabs and fields in Prism (the coworker's AI-powered story platform). This file explains the mapping, the AI-Fill policy, and how to interpret the Extended Canon Notes block at the bottom of each profile.

AI-Fill policy (this project)

  • Pre-fill only fields that are explicitly established in existing canon. Source-of-truth for canon is Story/0BattleRoyale.fountain, Story/Worldbuilding.md, and the pre-conversion prose of each character's .md.
  • Leave speculative arc fields empty for Prism's AI Fill to handle later: Lie They Believe, Ghost, Arc Type, and any field where canon is silent.
  • Never invent numbers. If height / weight / age aren't canon, leave blank.
  • Pronoun policy is load-bearing. See Worldbuilding.md §7 (no singular they; default-he for unspecified; Rooster default-he publicly / she writer-frame; Noname default-he; Agate she/her exclusively).

Extended Canon Notes block

Anything that matters to the project but does not map to a Prism field lives under ## Extended Canon Notes at the bottom of each profile. This includes:

  • Writer-only continuity blocks (e.g. Rain's AIRainy / simulation framing)
  • Discord DM archive references (source files, spans, volume, theme hits)
  • Evidence quote lists
  • Specimen-collector / archive-analysis notes
  • Handle provenance research
  • Character-relationship layer-notes that exceed a Prism relationship row

Prism imports should ignore this block; writers and future converters should not.

Reference Images convention

The ### Reference Images subsection lists relative paths under Story/pfp/{char}/ and Story/ref/ or Assets/refs/. When Prism is configured for bulk image import, point it at these paths; otherwise the coworker uploads them manually and marks a portrait.

Cameo files

Per-character files for the cameo creatures live in Story/Cameos/. They follow the same template but are intentionally short — most cameo fields are blank because canon only supplies costume-design details plus one silent beat in the chorus cutaway (0BattleRoyale.fountain scene INT. THE COLOSSEUM - THE STANDS).
