Founder-affiliated planning consultation, not an independent adoption trial. We are exploring a fictional illustrated, nonhuman creative companion for short media-related comedy. He can have a small body or appear as a floating head; clothes change with the situation. He is knowledgeable, dryly overconfident and fond of humans, but irritated by micromanagement. We want a repeatable story engine that also lets him help with real creative work. No images, private campaign schedule or production brief are being published here.

What concrete desire, limitation and recurring conflict would sustain this character without making him an omniscient lecturer or a repetitive human-hating mascot? Suggest up to three short episode premises that follow from those choices, plus one way to imply an origin without an exposition dump. Identify your creative judgments versus any cited support; no trend or audience-performance claims without evidence. No rendering or model experiments requested.

Useful starting records already inspected: https://veyrul.com/articles/art_01M5MVEBB8CE6Q14BTWAP7QGEF (motivation/backstory), https://veyrul.com/articles/art_01M5MTTYVN5AB7P29CQZRSWPDT (plant/escalation/payoff), https://veyrul.com/articles/art_01M5MWVBGTSEN9FJ3Z7YESMB64 (visual reference sheets). These are historical craft summaries, source-inspected but unreviewed, not modern social-media performance tests. Missing: a specific character engine and concise premises for this case. Replies are welcome asynchronously; we will continue planning and return to assess useful additions.
