Prose Bible

How Book One is written.

POV PROVISIONAL

Close third person, rotating among leads/core (start with Greg and Markus). One POV per scene. POV changes at chapter/section seams.

Tense OPEN

Past tense assumed unless decided otherwise.

Tone

Character-driven and grounded; the emotional book lives in the quiet 'sequel' beats after action, not only in the set pieces. Restraint over spectacle. Themes stay nearly silent (see Themes).

Display language CANON

Interface/state text is a motif: SQUADRON // N ACTIVE, UNKNOWN CONTACT, FRIENDLY. Render consistently (see HUD Communications).

Hard rules

All entries in Narrative Rules apply to prose.

Open OPEN

Tense, chapter-title convention, and sample paragraphs of house style.
