Backstory

Mara carries sealed messages between cities suspended above a permanent storm. She can cross a swinging bridge without blinking, but freezes before any open doorway because her family vanished through one that appeared in midair. She masks the fear with jokes and a strict routine of knocking three times, even on tent flaps. Every delivery is another excuse to search for the impossible door.

STORY HOOKA package addressed in her mother’s handwriting begins knocking from the inside.

A whole character, not a headshot

An OC generator that starts beyond the outfit

A useful original character needs a contradiction, a history, and a reason to enter the next scene. The visual design is built from those choices instead of being generated in isolation.

01 / PROCESS

How it works

01

Choose who they are

Set an archetype, species, and visual style. Add one optional story direction.

02

AI writes one coherent person

DeepSeek creates the name, traits, backstory, hook, and visual brief as one dossier.

03

The portrait follows the dossier

Runware renders the same concrete clothes, features, mood, and props described in the profile.

02 / DETAILS
