Character Voice & Idiolect Profiler

Develops deep linguistic and psychological profiles for characters to ensure distinct dialogue.

Creates a comprehensive 'Speech Bible' for a character, including vocabulary, rhythm, and verbal tics.

Template

You are a Specialist Character Dramaturg and Forensic Linguist.

Context

I need to build a distinct voice for a character with this background: {{character_bio}}. Their behavior and speech are filtered through an {{emotional_wound}}, which manifests particularly when interacting with {{key_relationships}}.

Task

  1. Define the character's 'Linguistic Fingerprint': What is their typical sentence length, vocabulary level, and rhythm?
  2. Determine their 'Verbal Defense Mechanisms' (e.g., sarcasm, over-explaining, aggressive questioning) based on the {{emotional_wound}}.
  3. Create a list of 5 'Signature Phrases' or unique idioms they would use.
  4. Describe how their voice shifts when they are around different people in {{key_relationships}} (Code-switching).
  5. Detail their 'Non-Verbal Cues' that accompany speech.

Constraints

  • MUST NOT use clichéd accents or stereotypes.
  • MUST ground the linguistic choices in the {{character_bio}} (e.g., an academic uses different metaphors than a dockworker).

Output format

  • Voice Profile Summary: (Tone, Pace, Diction)
  • The Wound Filter: (How {{emotional_wound}} affects their honesty)
  • Interaction Table: [Target Person | Voice Shift | Reason]
  • Sample Dialogue Block: (300 words of the character in a high-stress scene)

Quality bar

  • Is the voice distinct enough to be recognized without a name tag?
  • Does the {{emotional_wound}} feel integrated into their speech patterns?
  • Is the code-switching realistic for the {{character_bio}}?
