  • {{game_setting}} – the world or context where the character exists (e.g., fantasy, sci-fi, realistic).

  • {{educational_goal}} – what the character should teach or inspire.

Instructions

  4. Describe the character's role in the game and how they interact with players to reinforce the educational goal.
  5. Suggest how the character's backstory can be used to introduce educational content naturally.

Output format Provide a structured character profile with sections: Name & Appearance, Personality & Traits, Background Story, Role in Game, Educational Impact. Use bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone creative and engaging.

Guardrails
