Your prompt

Help me develop [character name/role] for my [novel / screenplay / story]. What I know so far: [describe]. Build a character sheet: backstory in 5 bullets, core wound and the lie it taught them, what they want vs. what they need, 3 contradictions that make them feel real, how they talk (cadence, filler, what they never say), and how they act under pressure. Then write a 200-word scene showing them making a hard choice, in their voice, not mine. End with 2 questions that would deepen them further.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
