He is closer to Octavia in function, event-critical / limited-run / legacy-impact. 2. Castle and Kate Beckett should be sub-main from Caskett entry onward. 3.
# characters_summaries This document does not replace the existing couple and character research files. It centralizes the project canon for characters, relationships, groups, and community systems, from the early parts through the city stage and the life after it.
## 1. Saga Core * The four central couples are Clexa, Ronance, SwanQueen, and Vauseman. * Even when the world opens to more couples, communities, missions, and systems, the heart remains with them. * Every role, system, leadership structure, logistical layer, and community institution must first serve these people and
## 1.0.1 Active Roster and Family Status Rule Source canon is voice/history material, not an automatic cast list. A relative, ex, sibling, parent, child, friend, side character, or supernatural/fantasy mechanic becomes active only when Git explicitly locks it for this project. Every meaningful family or close-charact
## 1.1 Realism and World Canon Rule * The world is a realistic living-dead apocalypse. There is no magic, no superpowers, no science fiction, no time travel, and no impossible technology. * The Waverider is only the name of a ground vehicle / mobile home. It does not fly, does not travel through time, and does not fun
## 1.1.1 World-Era and Available Technology Rule Day Zero happens in a world roughly equivalent to 2003. This affects every character, every couple, and every cultural line: * There are no modern smartphones, iPhones, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram as a central social space, consumer AI, or modern streaming. * There are
## 1.1.2 Gender and Language in Mixed Groups * Every scene must check who is included in the group a character is speaking to or about. * If the group includes a man or boy, do not use feminine-plural Hebrew forms as if the whole group is women. * If the speaker means only the women inside a mixed group, that must be
## 1.1.3 Terminology and English Writing Rule * In English prose, the locked term for the dead is `living dead`. * It is also permitted to use `the dead`, `they`, or physical description from the point of view. * Do not use `walking dead`. Do not use `zombie` as the default. * If a chapter is written or drafted, `rese
## 1.1.4 Living People, Dirty Roads, and Moving Vehicles Rule The apocalypse world is not empty of living people. Living survivors still exist on roads, in stores, in homes, near water, near fuel, in farms, behind barricades, inside hidden shelters, around depots, and inside vehicles. This matters for character and c
## 1.2 Day Zero Rule for Characters, Couples, and Groups * Every character or couple who receives an entrance chapter must arrive with a life before the end: work, family, relationship, routine, wound, and physical space. * Day Zero reaches them through partial, staged information: radio, television, emergency alerts,
## 1.2.1 Standalone Entry Arc Rule for Characters and Couples Every character, couple, family, or group entrance must be built as a readable standalone fanfic arc up to the meeting point with the main group. For character and couple writing, this means: * The reader should understand who they were before the end, no
## 1.3 Day Zero Ages and First Appearance Rule * Character ages are calculated according to the Day Zero ages locked in `canon_ledger.md`. * An age that appears in an older character research file may be the first-appearance age, not necessarily the Day Zero age. * Every new character entering the saga must have a Day
## 1.4 Map of Future Community Gaps and Additions At the start of the saga, the core is very strong in immediate survival, but lacks the larger community layer. What already exists in the core: * Lexa: defense, perimeter, reaction, danger-reading, field discipline. She is good at the non-political side of defense, n
## 1.5 Robin and Steve's Sign Language Until Chapter 16, Nancy and Robin believe Steve is dead. This is a hard rule. Therefore, before Chapter 16, do not write Robin or Nancy as if they consciously hold hope that he is alive. No “if he is alive,” no “if you find this,” no “if you get here,” and no phrasing in which t
## 1.5.1 Early Hawkins Lock, Family Video, and the Library * Before Day Zero, Dustin, Mike, Will, and Lucas are known to Steve and Robin through Family Video, and in the expanded Chapter 2 version, through Family Video when Nancy drops Mike and his friends there and then continues to the library. * Steve is not connec
