The prompts
Prompt 1
Imagine a character named Anya Petrova, a 28-year-old botanist working in a secluded research facility in Siberia. She is fiercely independent and dedicated to her work, but haunted by a past trauma that she rarely speaks of. Develop her backstory, motivations, and internal conflicts in vivid detail. Explore her relationships with the other scientists at the facility and how her past influences her decisions. What secrets does she hold, and how will they impact the story's unfolding events? Consider her physical appearance, mannerisms, and unique quirks that make her a memorable and compelling character. Use a suspenseful and mysterious tone.
Prompt 2
Craft a profile for Marcus Bellweather, a retired detective haunted by an unsolved case from his past. He's now living a quiet life in a small coastal town, but his peace is shattered when a similar crime occurs. Describe his physical appearance, his personality traits (is he cynical, weary, or still hopeful?), and his relationships with the townspeople. Delve into the details of the unsolved case that continues to torment him, exploring the victims, the suspects, and the evidence that eluded him. How does this past failure shape his present actions and motivations? Use a gritty and noir tone.
