Characters

The Characters panel is available via the icon in the activity bar. Characters are tied to a specific book. If a project has multiple books, each has its own list of characters.

Character list

Characters are grouped by role:

Role Description
Protagonist The main hero
Antagonist The opponent
Supporting A meaningful but not central character
Episodic Mentioned rarely

At the top of the panel — a search input for quickly finding by name.

Creating a character

Click + (Add character). In the dialog, specify:

  • Name — required field
  • Role — pick from the list
  • Description — a short 1–2 sentence description

After creation, the character opens in the editor.

Character card

The card is built using the Egri method — a three-dimensional model of personality:

Physiology

Appearance and physical traits: age, sex, height, build, hair and eye color, skin tone, clothing, health, distinguishing features.

Sociology

Place in society: social class, education, profession, income level, marital status, religion, political views, hobbies, living conditions.

Psychology

Inner world: temperament, intelligence, motivation, speech patterns, inner conflict, fears, values, habits, skills, flaws, secrets.

Aliases

The Aliases field (comma-separated) stores alternative names, nicknames, abbreviations. The AI assistant takes aliases into account when analyzing the text.

In scene metadata you can specify:

  • POV character — whose perspective the narrative follows
  • Characters — the list of characters present in the scene

These links are used by the AI assistant for contextual analysis.
