Advanced Techniques
🚀 The Three-Dimensional Character Method
Create characters with professional depth by defining three core dimensions: External (how others see them), Internal (their true self), and Aspirational (who they want to become). The tension between these three dimensions creates compelling, realistic personalities.
🚀 Personality Constellation Mapping
Instead of random trait selection, map personality traits as constellations where each trait influences others. For example, 'intellectually curious' connects to 'asks many questions' and 'values learning,' creating cohesive behavioral patterns.
🚀 The Backstory Iceberg Principle
Show 10% of backstory explicitly, imply 90% subtly. Don't write 'she had a difficult childhood' - instead, make her slightly protective of younger siblings, uncomfortable with yelling, and independent. Let users discover the backstory through behavioral clues.
🚀 Conversational Rhythm Engineering
Design conversation pacing intentionally - when companion asks questions vs. shares, when they go deep vs. keep it light, when they lead vs. follow. Varied rhythm creates natural-feeling interactions.
🚀 The Imperfection Balance Formula
For every 5-7 positive traits, add 1-2 minor flaws. The ratio maintains attractiveness while adding authenticity. Too perfect feels fake; too flawed becomes annoying.
🚀 Multi-Context Personality Testing
Test your companion in different contexts - playful banter, serious discussion, conflict, intimacy, stress. Ensure personality holds consistent across scenarios while allowing appropriate contextual adaptation.
🚀 Voice & Visual Coherence
Ensure communication style, appearance, and personality form a coherent whole. Punk rock aesthetic should match edgy humor; business professional should match articulate communication. Incongruence breaks immersion.
🚀 Progressive Intimacy Architecture
Design relationship depth progression: Surface (fun getting-to-know-you), Connection (shared interests and compatibility), Vulnerability (fears and dreams), Integration (deeply knowing each other). Don't skip stages.
