Story Elements: Characters, Places & World
Alongside your manuscript, Story Teller keeps the elements of your story — the people, places, and rules that make up your world. Each element is a structured sheet that the AI assistant reads when it helps you write, so your prose stays consistent with the world you have built. You manage them from the Story Elements section of the Story Teller panel.
Characters
A character is a member of your cast. Create one with New Character and fill in the sheet:
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Role | Protagonist, antagonist, supporting, or minor |
| Description | Appearance and essentials |
| Traits | Personality and defining characteristics |
| Arc | How the character changes across the story |
| Relationships | How they relate to other characters |
When you create a character, Omni Core also sets up companion Memory and Timeline topics for them, so the assistant can accumulate what it learns about the character as you write and track the events they take part in.
Places
A place is a location in your world. Create one with New Place and describe it:
| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Description | What the place is and looks like |
| Sensory | How it sounds, smells, and feels — the texture that grounds a scene |
| Significance | Why the place matters to the story |
World rules
A world rule captures something true about your world’s setting, history, magic, technology, or society — the constraints your story must respect. Create one with New World Rule. Keeping these explicit lets the assistant and the consistency checker catch prose that contradicts your own worldbuilding.
How elements connect to your writing
Every element is, underneath, a topic — a subject the assistant tracks over time and accumulates knowledge about (see Topics & Memoranda ). This is what makes the assistant story-aware:
- When you write a scene, the assistant can read the sheets for the characters and places present and keep the prose true to them.
- As your understanding of a character deepens, their Memory topic grows with it.
- The consistency checker compares your prose against these sheets and flags contradictions — a character acting out of character, a place described two different ways, a broken world rule.
You can keep your elements up to date by editing the sheets directly, or by asking the assistant to update them for you as the story develops (see The Chat Assistant ).
