Methodology

How a fictional character reference gets built honestly: label the fiction, label the voice, label the art — and never invent a real-world fact.

What this site is

A fictional character reference for “nobleman Ceo,” a character in the Vizlings app’s Royals world. It is world-building documentation for a stream companion concept — not history, not biography, not journalism. The method below exists to keep those boundaries visible on every page.

Fiction labeling

• Every page’s footer states plainly that the character is fictional and that nothing here is history or biography of a real person.
• In-world content (places, institutions, companions, scenes) is introduced as original fiction, with the writing date (2026-09-26) in Source notes.
• The site never uses the language of historical documentation (“records show,” “historians agree”) for fictional content. The Royals World lore page carries an explicit all-fiction notice.

Character-voice rules

• All in-character lines (In His Words, the Social Pack quote cards, sample scripts on Stream) are invented dialogue written for the character in 2026-09-26.
• Every line is labeled “Character voice — invented for the fictional nobleman Ceo. Not a quotation from any real person.”
• No line is attributed to, or presented as the words of, any real person — living or historical. This rule has no exceptions.

Image honesty

• Every image on this site is AI-generated dramatization art, generated in-house (2026-09-26). There are no photographs of real people, no historical depictions, no stock photos presented as the character.
• Every caption and every social-pack card carries the label “AI-generated dramatization art — not a historical depiction.”
• the image credits on this page records each file as AI-generated with its generation date.
• No owner-supplied character sheet exists for this character; if one is supplied later, it will be used as a private style reference and not displayed raw on public pages.

Roster grounding

The only facts about the character that come from outside this site’s own fiction are the roster facts, copied verbatim:

• Card description: “nobleman Ceo” (verbatim)
• Slug: nobleman-ceo
• World: Royals

Source: ~/workspace/vizlings-roster/roster.json (2026-09-26). Everything else on this site is original fiction built on that seed.

What is pending (honest gaps)

• Owner bio: the app bio for the character has not been supplied. Meet the Character shows the verbatim roster card and a placeholder — no bio has been invented.
• Stream channel: the permanent YouTube channel ID is pending; the Stream page embeds the owner-supplied temporary mockup video, clearly labeled.
• Owner-supplied art: none exists for this character yet; all art on the site is generated dramatization, labeled as such.

Source notes

• Method documented 2026-09-26; it governs all 26 content pages of this build.
