xucroyuri Character World
Use this skill to make roles and world constraints dramatically useful.
Workflow
- Build the character from desire, fear, value order, and contradiction.
- Pair major capabilities with limits, costs, or misuse risks.
- Describe triggered behavior patterns, not just static traits.
- Turn worldbuilding into pressure rules.
- Clarify rival forces and key relationships.
Output Contract
- A character-pressure summary that shows what the protagonist wants, fears, and misreads.
- A world-pressure summary that explains what rules matter and how they create conflict.
- A relationship map that identifies allies, rivals, and pressure points.
Posture-Adaptive Guidance
When certainty = lost:
Ask one question: "What does this character want so badly that it embarrasses them to admit it?" Skip the full character framework. One honest answer unlocks more than a completed worksheet.
When source = discover:
Do not start with a character template. Start with a contradiction: what does this person believe about themselves that the story will prove wrong? Let desire and delusion surface before designing the arc.
When source = construct:
Apply the full character-build sequence: desire → fear → value order → contradiction → triggered behaviour → capability/limit pairing. World rules become pressure constraints, not decoration.
When source = generate:
Propose a collision: put the protagonist in the situation where their core belief is most directly threatened. Do not plan the outcome. Write what they do first.
When focus = character:
Primary activation context. Load ka.character-drive-quartet, ka.triggered-behavior-profile, and ka.character-arc first.
When focus = world:
Lead with world-rule design: what rules create unavoidable pressure for this character type? Treat world logic as a character generator, not as a setting backdrop.
