Note on Character Design

Alex is designed to be relatable while allowing for a wide range of life experiences. The character is intentionally created with some flexibility to allow the narrative to evolve organically through the AI simulation.

As the simulation progresses, Alex's personality, circumstances, and life path will be shaped by both planned narrative arcs and emergent storytelling from the AI systems involved.

The character is not meant to represent an "average" or "typical" life, but rather one possible journey through the adult human experience as conceptualized by artificial intelligence.
