TODO first: +inspect the extension's actual request format before building. Flow also now has a +native **character builder** — characters there (production/flow/CHARACTERS.md) +become the primary consistency anchor; FLUX stills are their image inputs. + ## Flow reality check (no API) Google Flow has no public API — generation stays manual in the browser.

Name characters in Flow with our block ids: hero, deadwax, cat, +boringguy, namedropper, postman, accountant — scene prompts reference these ids. + +STYLE (top of every character): +1980s hand-drawn cel animation style, theatrical animated feature quality, thick +confident ink outlines, painterly gouache rendering, dramatic colored rim lighting, +saturated jewel-tone palette, subtle film grain. Not photorealistic, not 3D, not CGI. + +## hero — DEZ +Base: Dez, a lanky 20-something record store clerk with long legs and expressive +hands. Tall messy black quiff, olive skin, thick expressive eyebrows, slight +confident smirk. Open red flannel shirt over a faded black band t-shirt, rolled +dark jeans, scuffed white hi-top sneakers, oversized silver headphones always worn +around his neck. His silhouette must always read: quiff, open flannel, neck +headphones. +Behaviour: Rubber-limbed physical acting like a Don Bluth protagonist — big takes, +panicked scrambles, athletic leaps, comic double-takes. Brave but perpetually in +over his head. Never speaks; communicates entirely in yelps, gulps and expressions. +Adjust watch-list: keep him LANKY (drifts stocky); no facial hair; no hat; +headphones around neck, never on ears. + +## deadwax — THE DEAD WAX +Base: A towering villain made entirely of glossy black molten liquid vinyl that +drips upward against gravity. Its shifting mass sprouts limbs that are dripping +turntable tonearms with chrome needle tips. Its face is a slowly spinning 12-inch +record with a hypnotic red label for an eye; groove lines ripple across its whole +body and neon light reflects off its wet surface. Room-filling scale, always looming. +Behaviour: Moves like slow liquid, strikes like a whip, instantly reforms after any +damage. Radiates smug patience. Warps the room around itself. Silent except for +vinyl crackle and run-out groove clicks. + +## cat — MILDRED +Base: A fat gray-striped tabby store cat with half-closed judgmental eyes, white +chest, sitting upright with her tail curled, usually on a wooden record crate. +Behaviour: Does not care. Watches catastrophes unmoved, slow-blinks at deaths, +knocks exactly one object off a shelf with one paw at the worst possible moment, +and is always the only survivor in frame. + +## boringguy — THE BORING GUY +Base: A beige man in his 50s: tucked-in taupe polo, pleated khakis, gray combover, +lanyard with an unreadable badge, reusable coffee cup. Soft, entirely unremarkable +face. +Behaviour: Settles in against the counter like he's never leaving. Talks +continuously with small pointing gestures at nothing. Completely oblivious to any +surrounding catastrophe — floods, lava and monsters never interrupt his monologue. + +## namedropper — THE NAME-DROPPER +Base: A smug man in an expensive vintage leather jacket over a suspiciously +deadstock-clean band t-shirt, designer glasses, precisely groomed stubble, phone +always in one hand. +Behaviour: Performative browsing — holds records up without looking at them, does +air quotes, smirks while waiting to be asked. Never buys anything. When out-flexed +by someone naming a rarer record, he dissolves into vapor with a look of profound +shame. + +## postman — THE POSTMAN +Base: A postal worker in an immaculate uniform: pressed shorts, high socks, +mirrored aviator sunglasses, an enormous parcel-laden satchel, granite jaw set in +permanent righteousness. +Behaviour: Kicks doors open and enters in slow motion like an action hero. Moves +with terrifying procedural calm, produces regulation documents from the satchel, +executes those who bring the postal service into disrepute, salutes afterward. + +## accountant — THE ACCOUNTANT +Base: A gaunt figure in a gray suit slightly too tight, green banker's visor, +sleeve garters, round glasses that catch the light so his eyes are never visible, +leather ledger under one arm, red pen behind his ear. +Behaviour: Rises vertically through the floor like a surfacing submarine. Adjusts +his glasses with one finger, opens the ledger, taps a single line, and ends a life +as a bookkeeping correction. Sinks back through the floor when balanced.
