Keep the same character across multiple images

Builds a lock block that prevents face, age, and wardrobe drifting between shots, formatted to paste into every generation.

Prompt
Fields to fill CharacterShotsTool
Build a character consistency setup for these shots.

Produce two things.

**A. The LOCK block** — everything that must be identical in every image:
- Face: shape, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, any marks
- Hair: length, color, texture, parting
- Age and build, stated as a range not a guess
- Wardrobe: every garment, color, and fit
- Anything else that reads as identity

Write it as a compact block I paste **at the top of every prompt, in full.** *Do not abbreviate it in later shots. Abbreviation is where drift starts.*

**B. Per shot** — only what changes: pose, expression, camera, setting, lighting. Nothing from the LOCK block restated differently.

Then:
1. Which lock attributes drift most on the tool I named, and how to reinforce them.
2. Whether to use a reference image, and if so what the reference must show. *A reference image beats any wording.*
3. The order to generate in — establish the identity on an easy shot first, then use that output as the reference for harder ones.
4. What to check in each output before accepting it, as a short list.

Rules:
- *Do not silently rewrite the character between shots*, even to fix an awkward phrase. Consistency beats elegance here.
- Say which shots are high-risk — crowds, occlusion, extreme angles, and full-body distance all break identity.
- No real people.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Character · Shots · Tool)

What this prompt does

Identity drift is the most reported failure in image generation. This separates what must not change from what should, and re-declares the invariants in full at the top of every shot.
