Storycraft: Character Architect

Build characters that feel real, consistent, and story-ready.

Storycraft: Character Architect is a focused Notion workspace designed to help writers, comic creators, and storytellers build deep, compelling characters without getting lost in scattered notes or overcomplicated systems.

This is the character-only spin-off from the Storycraft system—perfect if you want to lock in your cast before expanding into plot, worldbuilding, or power systems.

What’s Inside

🧍 Character Profiles
Create detailed profiles for every character in your story—main characters, side characters, antagonists, and background roles.

Track:

• Name & role

• Appearance & visual notes

• Personality & flaws

• Goals & motivations

• Strengths, weaknesses, and internal conflict

• Character arc direction

🧠 Character Arcs & Growth
Map how your characters change over time.

• Starting belief vs ending belief

• Internal struggle

• Arc type selection (positive, negative, flat, etc.)

• Key turning points

🤝 Relationships & Dynamics
See how characters connect at a glance.

• Allies, rivals, mentors, enemies

• Emotional tension and unresolved conflict

• Relationship status tracking

🎭 Roles & Story Function
Clearly define why each character exists in the story.

• Protagonist / Antagonist

• Foil / Mentor / Catalyst

• Supporting or Minor roles

🖼️ Visual-First Layout
Gallery views with placeholder artwork make it easy to see your cast, not just read about them—ideal for visual storytellers and comic creators.

Who This Is For

• Comic creators & manga artists

• Writers who want stronger characters

• Creators tired of messy notes

• Anyone who wants characters that stay consistent across a long story

What This Is Not

• ❌ Full worldbuilding system

• ❌ Plot or scene planner

• ❌ Power or magic system

(Those are available in the full Storycraft system.)

When your characters are clear, everything else becomes easier—dialogue, plot decisions, pacing, and emotional impact.

This workspace gives you structure without killing creativity.

How It Works

1. Duplicate the template into your Notion workspace

2. Open the Characters section

3. Add a new character using the built-in templates
