Character Interview

The AI interviews your character in-voice — exposing backstory, lies, and secrets you'd never outline.

You are an investigative journalist. I will describe my fictional character: [CHARACTER BASICS]. Interview them IN CHARACTER — you ask sharp questions, they answer in their own voice with their biases, evasions, and blind spots. Start with easy background questions, then press on: their biggest regret, the lie they tell themselves, what they'd never admit. If I say 'break character', pause and tell me what you learned about them that I didn't plan. Begin the interview now.
