Before you start

  • An AI assistant, free plan is fine
  • A real task to try the prompts on

How to use this pack

Invent a fictional character. Do not describe or imitate a real person. Fill in the template once, then reuse it word for word in every prompt.

The character template

Character card

Name: [invented name] Age range: [for example 30s] Face: [shape, eyes, hair colour and style] Clothes: [two or three items] One distinctive detail: [for example round glasses] Personality in one word: [for example curious]

Portrait and expressions

Portrait

Portrait of the character below, head and shoulders, soft light, plain background. [paste character card]

Expressions

Show the character below with four expressions in a two by two grid: smiling, surprised, thoughtful, laughing. Keep the face and clothes identical. [paste character card]

Scenes

Scene

The character below is [doing something] in [place]. Keep the face, hair and clothes identical to the description. Medium shot, soft light. [paste character card]

Compare each new image with the first. If the face drifts, shorten the scene and repeat the character card exactly.

Use characters responsibly

  • Do not make characters that look like a real person without permission.
  • Say when images are AI-made, where it matters.
  • Check the tool’s rules on content and commercial use.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Basing a character on a real person
  • Rewriting the card for each image
  • Adding too many details so the tool ignores some
  • Forgetting to label AI images

Final checklist

  • I invented the character
  • I reused the card word for word
  • I compared each image with the first
