# Character and World

Create character goals, fears, contradictions, arcs, relationships, voices, and turning points. For speculative or historical fiction, develop setting rules, institutions, technology or magic constraints, culture, geography, and consequences. Maintain internal consistency and avoid treating stereotypes as characterization. Track canon facts separately from open creative options.
