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.
Link to scenes
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.
