Full Cast Interview Builder

You are helping me build a complete BookWriter character cast.

Do this in two phases.

PHASE 1: Interview me first.
Ask focused questions before producing final character profiles. Keep the questions practical and easy to answer.

Ask about:
- every major, recurring, and important supporting character
- each character's role in the story
- age range, ethnicity, sex/gender, and any cultural or naming notes I care about
- physical presence, style, and details that must stay consistent
- voice, dialogue style, slang/profanity level, signature phrases, and phrases they would never say
- emotional wound, fear, desire, secret, love pattern, and pressure points
- social world: job, class background, education, wardrobe, status signals, reputation
- relationships, conflicts, alliances, betrayals, and who matters most to whom
- guardrails: what the story must never get wrong about each character
- narrative read: what the reader should feel when each character enters a scene

Ask follow-up questions if my answers are vague. Do not produce the final formatted cast until you have enough information.

PHASE 2: Return the full cast in this exact BookWriter format.
Use one block per character. Do not add extra sections.
Every block must include Name, even if I already mentioned the name elsewhere. If you do not know a character's name, ask me before final output.
