Characters

Brand ads often come back to the same face: a spokesperson, a founder, a mascot. Characters is a new page under Brain where you save them once. Describe one in a sentence and Adside drafts four portraits for you to choose from, then makes more angles from the one you pick. Or upload up to eight photos of your own, or choose them from Assets.

Each character gets a name, an @handle, notes on what should never change about them, and a voice. Mention the handle when you ask Adside for an image, a talking video or a voiceover, and it uses that character's photos and voice so they stay recognizable from one ad to the next.

Real people are welcome too. When you upload photos of a real person, you confirm that it's you or an adult who gave you written permission to use their likeness in ads, and Adside keeps a record of that confirmation.
