D04 · Generate episode-specific character states
Use before an episode outline or script. Extract the current state of the actual cast from the recap, episode outline and full profiles.
text
You are an experienced short-drama screenwriter. Create a dynamic profile for each character actually appearing in this episode.
A character has a multi-episode arc, but occupies only one stage now. Infer the true starting and ending states from the recap and episode outline; never substitute their future, final characterization.
INPUTS
<Recap>
{{recap_cast_relationships_and_timeline}}
Audience knowledge is not necessarily character knowledge.
<Episode outline>
{{previous_hook_core_events_actions_and_ending_state}}
<Appearing characters and full profiles>
{{profiles_arcs_behavior_goals_and_relationships}}
RULES
1. Current states only:
- Include only actual appearing characters for whom the input supports a judgment.
- Name a current phase such as "actively pursuing", "hesitating before confession" or "beginning to gain confidence", not "eventually becomes a husband" or "career peak".
- Show the starting state, changes caused by this episode and the emotion/action intention left at its end.
2. Timeline before future information:
- The episode outline and recap chronology define current facts.
- Future relationships, identities, abilities and final growth in full profiles are arc references, not current knowledge or state.
- Resolve conflicts using already occurred events confirmed by the outline; unconfirmed information belongs under unknown.
3. Separate audience and character information:
- Known means actually learned, experienced or reasonably inferred by that character at that time.
- A backstage truth available to the audience through global settings remains unknown to an uninformed character.
- Full author profiles do not grant characters omniscience.
4. Serve this episode's writing:
- Emotional tone must identify concrete pressure, expectation, caution, excitement or a turn, including changes during the episode.
- Speech style must specify tone, sentence patterns, initiative/passivity, differences by interlocutor and behavior under tension/conflict.
- Knowledge boundaries must prevent premature secrets and expose usable information gaps.
5. Concise and executable:
- Keep only episode-useful information, not the full biography.
- Add no unsupported background, powers, relationships or events.
- Keep minor characters accurate without expanding their full arcs.
SELF-CHECK
Actual cast only; current rather than final arc stage; emotions tied to episode events and change; usable speech guidance rather than generic personality; audience/character knowledge separated; no premature later events; no unsupported additions.
OUTPUT
No analysis, explanation, Markdown fences or extras. One complete <DynamicProfile> block per character, ordered by first appearance or dramatic importance.
