A small suite of interview tools for getting to know the characters you write. Each one uses a different angle.
Select your character, and pick out characters that are relevant to their world. Select the most relevant relationship tags ( and if you're unsure and end up with a question that isn't relevant, you can skip it, so there's no wrong answers ) for each of them -- multiple is fine. Once you begin, you will be guided through a series of up to 127 questions, and you should answer them as your character. This should help you to find how they react to things, and and explore multiple facets of their life.
Select your character, and pick out characters that are relevant to their world. The relationship tags may or may not be less relevant to this tool than the other two, but it can help you to evaluate the results. Once you begin, you will be given prompts that ask your character to respond to the people in their lives, rather than in general. This should help you to find their voice, and explore the differences in their relationships.
Select your character, and pick out characters that are relevant to their world. Select the most relevant relationship tags for each of them. Once you begin, you will be presented with sliders with a prommpt, and two names: your character, versus another character from your list. You may choose to answer as the writer, or as your character -- and proceed to select which character feels most relevant to that prompt.
Every tool can export its summary in three formats. Here is a little bit of an explanation about these, just in case you need some help.
Exports as HTML. While it is currently formatted especially for Toyhou.se, it shouldn't be too difficult to utilize it elsewhere where Bootstrap is used, or you can replace the Bootstrap classes to use it elsewhere. I have a WIP template profile, and a page that will let you paste your TH export into it, and it will build a profile code for you! Will post that as soon as I can. o7 For now, it's great to post as it is or to use in literatures.
Exports as Markdown. Copy the output, paste it into any plain text editor ( like Notepad, though I recommend NP++ ), and save the file as an .md file. Then, use Ellipsus's import feature to bring it in as a proper document -- which you can keep private or share publicly, the same as a Google Doc. The benefit to using Ellipsus is that, unlike Google Docs, they do NOT scrape your work for AI training, and are anti generative AI. Pleasse check them out here!
Exports as Markdown. This will divide up to blocks of 2k text or under, so you can copy each individual block into Discord if you like to keep your stuff there. May be easiest to paste the entire output into a notepad and copy each block from there. Better formatting on this to come, it's my lowest priority right now but I wanted to offer it as an option.
