"Heyhey, dude!" she approaches a Jolteon with a smile as she brought some crepes. "I've 'eard sugar gives ya energy, so have some crepes!"

"What do ya think of that Ninetales fella? I'm pretty sure he's neat, but at the same time...I have a lil uneasy feelin'..."

I have basic ideas for the metaphors, clichés, and archetypes I want to explore with each character, but I'm so glad I never wrote detailed lore profiles for them.

If I had locked down Bread Girl's lore early on, I wouldn't have been able to adapt her to the story I'm currently writing. Given the direction Ersatz has taken, that's so lucky I didn't do that, because she now gets to have a useful role in supporting the cast and developing the worldbuilding. Lore is basically the "form" that follows the function of the world. Even her name, Panina, is a product of that.

The bailiff characters are an example of this, as their design, clichés/archetypes etc. came after the fact of needing violent smarmy thugs to represent Humber.

But once enough world building has happened, I could write profiles, or at lest for what's been established in the comics so far.
