Backstory

Tavi pilots a patched skiff between the last lighthouse towers of a flooded coast. She repairs ancient lenses with scavenged glass and labels every spare screw by the sound it makes in a tin cup. Other sailors trust her lights, but Tavi has never admitted that one tower keeps signaling a route through water marked blank on every map.

STORY HOOKThe forbidden lighthouse turns on by itself and flashes Tavi’s private repair code.

A whole character, not a headshot

Pixel character design that reads at a glance

A limited palette, one strong prop, and a distinct silhouette carry more personality than tiny decorative noise. The written dossier explains the choices without burying them.

01 / PROCESS

How it works

01

Choose who they are

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

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.
