Character Design — build a living roster

Use a structured DB: bio, goals, flaws, arc, relationships, casting ideas.

Sheets used

• Character DB (primary)
• Relationships graph (auto-generated matrix)
• Arc tracker (beats per character)

Workflow

1. Create characters with tags (role, archetype, story importance).
2. Link scenes → auto roll-ups show screen time per character.
3. Use Arc tracker to ensure meaningful change over acts.
