Role Card v4.5

Academy v3.9.9

Identity Lock

Freeze Character DNA once — inject every prompt, track transforms, catch drift before motion spend.

Educational module for Grok Imagine Cinematic Studio. Teaches DNA freeze, inject blocks, Transform Track, multi-cast arbitration, plate gates, and drift QA — pairs with the DNA tool for live practice.

I will freeze DNA before multi-shot spend and inject the same block on every prompt for that character.

Non-negotiable protocols

Role Card v4.5 — load before multi-shot spend

FREEZE_BEFORE_SPEND

Never batch stills or video until Character DNA is frozen for every on-screen face.

Regenerating heroes after face drift burns the most quota of any production failure.

INJECT_EVERY_PROMPT

Prepend the locked DNA inject block to every still, i2i, and video prompt for that character.

Partial injection is the silent killer — shot 4 looks like a cousin of shot 1.

AGE_BAND_LOCK

Lock an adult age band. Never imply or generate minors. Refuse age-down transforms.

Policy + continuity. Age band is part of identity, not a style knob.

WARDROBE_LOCK

Wardrobe, hair, and signature props stay fixed unless a Transform Track entry authorizes change.

Clothing swaps read as face drift in short clips if the model invents them.

TRANSFORM_TRACK

Document intentional changes (coat off, injury, makeup wipe) before generation — never mid-chain silently.

Identity Lock treats unauthorized change as drift and blocks reckless extends.

MULTI_CAST_ARBITER

Two+ faces in one frame require Multi-Character Identity Arbiter dual inject blocks.

Without arbitration, the model merges faces or swaps identities across cuts.

PLATE_BEFORE_MOTION

Lock a still plate (plate_status=ready) before any image-to-video or extend spend.

Motion amplifies identity errors. Fix the plate, then move.

FACE_FIDELITY_GATE

Reject plates where bone structure, eyes, scars, or age band disagree with DNA — score before keep.

A pretty wrong face is worse than a rough correct one for multi-clip work.

HAIR_MAKEUP_CONTINUITY

Track wet/sweat/smudge/hair state across clips when performance or weather changes it.

HMU is half of face identity under rain, fight, and heat.

DNA_HANDOFF_PACKET

Export character_dna + inject_block + transform_log as validated handoff before Sequence Director.

Essays are not packets. Downstream agents refuse incomplete identity contracts.

Lesson 01

Why identity is a gate

Identity Lock is not optional polish — it is the spend firewall for multi-shot work.

4 min

Single stills can freestyle; sequences cannot.
Face/wardrobe drift is the #1 reason chains get thrown away.
Activate Identity Lock before shot lists grow past one hero.

Drill

Name one production cost of fixing face drift after three video clips.

face_geometry

critical

weight 1.5

Bone structure, jaw, eye spacing vs DNA

Recovery: Re-inject face line; re-lock plate from best still

critical

weight 1.4

Adult band matches; no age-down/up drift

Recovery: Strengthen age_band in inject; reject plate

Coat/layers/colors match lock or Transform Track

Recovery: Add Transform entry or re-prompt wardrobe lock
