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 singularthey; default-hefor unspecified; Rooster default-hepublicly /shewriter-frame; Noname default-he; Agateshe/herexclusively).
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).
