From original characters to complete creative projects, in one connected studio.

1. Start in Guided View

Choose a template and begin with the essential fields. Guided View hides secondary tools until you want them. Switching to Full View never deletes character data.

2. Fill only what you know

You do not need to complete every field. Auto-Complete uses browser-side procedural rules, not a paid AI service. Use Auto-Complete Section at the bottom of a section or Auto-Complete All for the whole character. Mark any field N/A to keep it intentionally untouched.

3. Add character artwork

Use Images & References inside the character workspace to attach portraits, character sheets, turnarounds, emblems, power references, and costume details. Choose any uploaded image as the character's Library/Gallery cover.

4. Convert RPG systems

Open RPG Converter from the main navigation or character workspace. Loriginary builds a neutral Character Core, previews the destination build, explains approximate matches, and can store multiple rules-system versions under one master character.

5. Build AI image prompts

Open Prompt Studio, use the single Select Character control if needed, confirm the automatically attached reference pack, then choose the image service, output type, production goal, aspect ratio, and scene direction. Removing or replacing a reference in Prompt Studio is prompt-only and does not delete the saved image. Use Download References ZIP for separate files or Create Reference Montage for one combined upload.

6. Saving is redundant now

Use Save Character. The first save asks for one permanent folder. Once connected, edits autosave to a real .loriginary file on disk and explicit saves also create rolling disk history. If folder access is unavailable or cancelled, Save Character downloads a permanent save file instead.

7. Write with Story Studio

Save comic and video planning locally by project, then generate structured writing prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, or another writer. Pro expands this into long-term series planning and GM-only campaign tools.

8. Start RPG characters with Roll Up

RPG templates open on a system-specific Start / Roll Up screen with the identity, advancement, class/role, and statistics players need first. D&D includes individual ability-score dice and Roll All; systems that use arrays, boosts, dots, or allocations use their own setup method instead.

9. Run the UHU RPG Alpha Playtest

From UHU, open the interactive playtest or the v0.1 documents. Beginners should start with Player Quick Reference, then use the interactive tester for the 2d10 core, Attributes, Skills, Defenses, Stress/Wounds, Momentum/Crisis, Scale, damage, recovery, and Conditions. Scenario Characters and Broken Moonbase provide ready-to-run material; the GM/Playtest Guide and Feedback/Known Gaps documents explain what to test and report.

10. Use system-specific Statistics

Every supported RPG keeps its own Statistics section. D&D shows Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma and related values; other systems display their own stat structure instead of reusing a generic block.

10A. Create printable RPG character sheets

Character Sheet now offers a playable RPG sheet for every RPG template. UHU-built characters can generate and save a linked UHU RPG Playtest build without replacing the master UHU character. Before printing, choose All saved numbers or Blank changing values so advancement and trackable values such as level, health, stress, wounds, Momentum, Crisis, ammunition, currency, and similar table-facing numbers can be left writable.

11. Conversion Core + Multi-System Sheet

RPG builds also maintain a neutral 1–100 Character Core in the background for cross-system conversion. Pro Preview can create a Multi-System Master Sheet showing the same character across several selected RPG systems.

12. Build a visual look without artwork

Open Inspiration and combine broad inspiration bundles into a local visual direction. You can apply the result to blank costume, materials, emblem, palette, and visual-lock fields without uploading an image first.

13. Send beta feedback

Use the floating Beta Feedback button to report bugs, confusing areas, feature ideas, RPG requests, or prompt problems. Technical diagnostics can be attached automatically.

14. Use universe / RPG themes

Loriginary can automatically theme the workspace from the selected UHU realm or RPG family. Use Theme: Auto for balanced styling, Immersive for stronger artwork and color, or Neutral for the clean productivity view.

15. Install on supported devices

The Install App control stays available in the header. When the browser provides a native PWA prompt, Loriginary opens it directly; otherwise the button shows the correct desktop or mobile install steps. Installed PWAs can launch like an app on supported phones, tablets, and computers.

16. Build collectible cards

Open Cards & Merch to turn a saved character into collectible card variants. Loriginary uses the existing character record and attached art, so making a card does not rewrite the character design.

16A. Print collection or promotional cards

Open Printable Cards & Marketing. Export a front/back PNG from Card Forge, then load the images, choose card size and optional bleed, add a marketing website or uploaded QR image to the back, download separate 300 px/inch-target production PNGs or print a home PDF sheet. Always verify the printer template, source resolution, actual print scale and rights before distributing cards. External printing and orders are not handled by Loriginary.

17. Export tabletop pieces

The Card Forge can create a VTT token and printable standee from character artwork. These are early steps toward a fuller mobile-friendly Play Mode with resources, conditions, initiative, and GM views.

18. Preview merchandise

Merch Creator previews a character on products such as shirts, stickers, mugs, posters, and phone cases, then exports a merch graphic. Ordering and print-on-demand partners are intentionally not connected yet.

19. Permanent Save Folder + reference reconnect

UX26 preserves the remembered save-folder handle immediately. If Chrome still grants permission, the disk mirror reconnects automatically. If Chrome resets permission to Ask, browser security forbids a page from silently approving itself, so UX26 uses your next normal click or keypress anywhere in Loriginary to request renewal of that already-remembered folder instead of making you hunt for a reconnect button or browse back to the folder. Reference images restore independently from the automatic Browser Recovery Vault and do not wait for disk permission.

20. Prompt Studio references are prompt-only

Select Character, Secret Civilian Identity, Character Sheet(s), All, and individual Variants independently. Upload / Replace / Remove / Restore inside Prompt Studio affects only the active prompt reference pack. Use Open Full Images & References to edit the saved character assets.

21. Export Prompt Knowledge Backup

This exports the imported/private Prompt Intelligence rules and recipes so you can back them up or move them to another browser. It does not export characters, images, story documents, or generated prompts. Those use their own backup/export controls.

22. RPG sheets always carry RPG data

Any RPG character-sheet prompt must include the actual system statistics and game-facing values. When printing, choose saved numbers or the writable-blank option for mutable values. A pretty RPG sheet with no RPG numbers is merely a poster wearing paperwork as a costume.

23. Creator Labs in Story Studio

Layout Template Lab creates draggable/resizable print layouts for comic covers, pages, character sheets, and cards. GM Random Adventure can draft a one-shot/dungeon seed. SONG/TRAILER MUSIC LAB UNDER CONSTRUCTION builds an original-lyrics and music-direction prompt for Mureka, Suno, or another music service.

24. Tabletop Beta

The Story / GM area contains an experimental local-first tabletop prototype with player seats, character-sheet notes, GM material, camera/microphone preview, dice tools, chat, and manual peer-linking experiments. Live hosted multiplayer play is not ready. Treat this as an under-construction networking/playtest area.

32. Beta-readiness fixes + 60 templates

Previous engineering passes repaired Beta feedback and application delivery, modal layering, sidebar scrolling, responsive horizontal overflow, submenu consistency, Identity age/occupation cleanup, gold REQUIRED markers, theme-control sizing, Library recovery-button overlap, and greatly expands local randomized character-name generation. Template coverage now totals 60 with a new Team / Ensemble Profile template.

31. Beta readiness + honest construction status

The Beta release normalizes tester controls, pins the scrolling menu flush to the top edge, refreshes the Dashboard description to match Loriginary's current scope, integrates the Beta Tester Application, and visibly marks Cards & Merch plus live Tabletop play as Under Construction while those systems are still being finished.

Open Beta Tester Application

30. Beta Tester Welcome + structured feedback

UX30 adds a dedicated Beta Tester Welcome / Getting Started page, the first 45-minute mission, Founding Beta Tester program guidance, and a structured Beta Feedback report with automatic report ID, severity, reproduction steps, privacy-controlled character context, diagnostics, and optional screenshot attachment.

Open Beta Tester Welcome / Mission

29. Completion accuracy + richer identity roles

UX29 calculates section percentages from every field currently visible in Guided or Full View, so a partially completed Powers page cannot report 100%. Identity adds Primary Role, Secondary Role, Apparent Age, and True / Chronological Age. The Library also includes an optional one-click installer for the five current UHU starter records.

27. Prompt order + identity safety gate

UX27 always puts the locked 40% Loriginary production intelligence first, then orders the nine creator-controlled sections from highest selected emphasis to lowest. Required reference images are declared inside the prompt and missing required references stop the handoff. Prompt copy/save/download is blocked until a valid visual identity source exists.

26. Template Studio + Prompt Mix

UX26 adds a reusable Template Studio for character sheets, RPG sheets, combined sheets, views, comic pages/covers/panels, cards, merch, logos, trailers, music videos, and vertical video. Prompt Studio now uses a locked 40% Loriginary scene/action/comic/model baseline plus a creator-controlled 60% mix.

25. New grouped menu bar

UX25 refines the grouped top navigation to a few major menus. Character Creation contains all character sections plus RPG Converter and Prompt Studio. Story & Production contains Story Studio, Prompt Studio, Gallery, Templates, Layout Lab, music, and GM tools. Role-Playing Games, Library & Collect, UHU, and Help keep related tools together instead of forcing every destination onto one strip.

26. Browser Vault versus disk mirror

Loriginary treats the Browser Recovery Vault as the always-available automatic protection layer for character records and reference images. The Permanent Save Folder is an additional disk mirror. If Chrome keeps permission granted it reconnects automatically. If Chrome resets permission to Ask, UX26 attempts renewal from your next normal click or keypress, because the browser requires a real user gesture. Browser Vault reference recovery continues without waiting for disk permission.

28. Card Forge production workflow

The Cards area is an active Open Beta preview. Its intended workflow is choose character → choose template → customize → create variants → build a set → preview collection → export digital/print assets → eventually order/publish. Current preview, premium-back, merch mockup, and publishing/ordering pieces are not all reliable yet.

Privacy

In this V5 Open Beta, characters, attached images, and projects remain in your browser unless you explicitly export them. No cloud account or billing system is active.
