Character DNA builder
Freeze face, wardrobe, and rules into a paste-ready inject block. Visual examples show how the inject sits on top of every prompt.
Fictional adults only · See Character DNA in the glossary
DNA is an educational contract for Studio continuity — not a deepfake tool. Reference plates below are fictional examples only.
Visual examples
Reference plates for the two starter locks — same DNA must survive a new camera angle or location.
Packet stack order
Always DNA first — scene prompt never replaces the lock
CHARACTER_DNA inject
Face, wardrobe, rules — frozen
Ultimate Template scene
Subject → environment → lighting → lens → mood
Negatives
text, watermark, extra limbs, low-res…
Inject anatomy
Color map of each section inside the block
Header
[CHARACTER_DNA lead_01]
Names the lock so multi-character projects stay separate.
Face lock
face_lock: sharp cheekbones, short asymmetrical black hair…
Stops face drift across stills and extends.
Wardrobe lock
wardrobe_lock: matte black motorcycle jacket…
Keeps costume continuous shot to shot.
Rules + transform
transform_allowed: false
Defines what counts as drift vs intentional change.
Close
[/CHARACTER_DNA]
Ends the inject so the scene prompt can begin.
Without DNA vs with DNA
Same scene line — only the inject changes continuity risk.
Risky
Face and wardrobe free to drift each generation
Subject: Mara Chen. Environment: rain-slick neon alley at night, teal and amber practicals, wet reflections, 35mm anamorphic. Mood: cinematic. Cinematic still. No text, no watermark. Negatives: text, watermark, extra limbs.
Locked
DNA block first, then scene — multi-shot safe

No age change. No glasses unless listed. transform_allowed: false transform_track: none — treat wardrobe/face changes as drift inject: prepend this block to every still and video prompt for this character [/CHARACTER_DNA] --- scene prompt below DNA --- Subject: Mara Chen. Environment: rain-slick neon alley at night, teal and amber practicals, wet reflections, 35mm anamorphic. Mood: cinematic. Cinematic still. No text, no watermark. Negatives: text, watermark, extra limbs.

Mara Chen
lead_01
- Face stays constant even if the alley or hallway changes.
- Wardrobe stays constant unless Transform Track is true.
- Paste the inject above every new still or video prompt for this lead.

Minimal lock set — enough for multi-shot consistency
