Lock the character. Change everything else.

You nailed the face in shot one. By shot four, it's someone else.

It's 1am. Twelfth regeneration of a shot that should've taken one try. Shot one was perfect — sharp jaw, the right eye color, the jacket you spent twenty minutes getting into the prompt. Shot four, same prompt structure, same seed even — and it's not her anymore. Wrong nose. Different hair length. You start second-guessing the prompt. Then the seed. Then whether you're actually cut out for this.

You're not bad at prompting.

Here's why: every major generator — Kling, Runway, Veo, Higgsfield — builds each shot from nothing. No memory of the last one. The identity was never stored anywhere; you've been holding a face together by memory and luck, one prompt at a time. That's not a skill gap. It's the most-documented unsolved problem in AI video right now — search it, you'll find the same complaint everywhere.

Character Lock is FayceLock's first standalone release — the piece nobody sells on its own. Show or describe your character once. Get back a locked identity kit — bible, prompt anchor, negative prompt, ready-made prompts — and paste the same one into whichever generator you've got open next.
