# 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.
|

|
|
## Section ↔ Prism tab map
|
|
|
|
| `.md` Section | Prism Tab | Prism Fields |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `## Appearance` → `### Physical Attributes` | Appearance → Physical Attributes → PHYSICAL | Height, Weight, Build, Hair Color, Hair Style, Eye Color, Skin Tone, Distinguishing Marks |
|
|
| `## Appearance` → `### Identity (physical-form)` | Appearance → Physical Attributes → IDENTITY | Sex, Age, Birth Year, Birth Place, Ethnicity, Nationality |
|
|
| `## Appearance` → `### Production (physical-form)` | Appearance → Physical Attributes → PRODUCTION | Dominant Hand, Accent / Dialect, Voice Quality, Gait / Movement |
|
|
| `## Appearance` → `### Physical Description` | Appearance → Physical Description | freeform |
|
|
| `## Appearance` → `### Reference Images` | Appearance → Reference Images | uploads / portrait |
|
|
| `## Wardrobe` | Wardrobe | Costume Notes, Accessories & Props, Era / Period, Makeup Notes |
|
|
| `## Identity` → `### Personality` / `### Background / Backstory` / `### Traits` / `### Speech` | Identity | Personality, Background/Backstory, Interests, Quirks & Habits, Fears, Skills & Abilities, Catch Phrases |
|
|
|
|
**List fields (Interests, Quirks & Habits, Fears, Skills & Abilities, Catch Phrases):** Put **one chip per** `;` when multiple items appear on the `**Field:**` line. Commas may appear *inside* a single item (e.g. a clause you want as one entry); to express separate Prism chips, split with `;` rather than `,` between list items. **Catch Phrases** use the same `;` rule on a single line for easy paste into Prism.
|
|
| `## Arc` | Arc | Motivation, Want, Need, Conflict, Lie They Believe, Ghost, Transformation, Arc Type, Extended History |
|
|
| `## Relationships` | Relationships | Related Character + Relationship Type + Label |
|
|
| `## Production` | Production | Stunt/SFX Requirements, Voice Casting, Department Notes, Continuity Notes, Voice Reference |
|
|
| `## Extended Canon Notes` | (no Prism field) | preserved writer-only lore: archive analysis, DM references, worldbuilding cross-refs, evidence quotes |
|
|
|
|
## 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).
