How to make AI characters people remember, on varg: define the character (premise, archetype, contrast), write the details (face, body, age, flaws, one signature detail), dress them (garment by garment, materials, fit, one loud colour), pick a category recipe, then lock the look in a character sheet and reuse it in later images and videos (Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image, Kling 4, Seedance 2.5, Wan 3). Use when someone asks to create, design or describe a character, an AI influencer or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# varg character design
How to make a character people remember, and keep it the same in every later image and video. Generation runs on varg: the MCP server (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`, `call_tool`) or `POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/{image|video}/call`. Quote prices in credits. Facts marked **Tested** were run on varg on 2026-10-27.
A default request ("make a beautiful woman", "make a funny old man") gets the model's average person: pleasant, symmetrical, forgettable. Characters that spread have a **gap between what people expect and what they see**, written in exact, visible details. The prompt is the whole craft: who they are, what their face and body look like, what they wear.
## 1. Define the character
One line of premise + one archetype + one contrast.
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| Premise | "84-year-old Sicilian grandmother who solves everything with a wooden spoon" |
| Archetype | very old · big guy · cringe deadpan · beautiful woman · fitness · absurd hybrid · cartoon |

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-character-design@sha256:d72da2be365fb38aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
