@andrewsleigh@mastodon.social Here's how it works: I wrote a character definition and a set of usage rules. The character definition covers who he is, how he talks, what he cares about, and what he's not. The usage rules control how much voice gets into the work — where it shows up, how often, and when to cut it. The goal is light seasoning, not a performance. Data and research I've found is the star.
