In Chub, will you consider writing small lorebooks for some of your characters? For example, Surge and Nibur have 4 or so identical entries in their character lorebooks. The downside for writing such lorebooks is combing through each of your characters to find such entries, then writing the lorebooks (or just copy-pasting the entries), then deleting the entries from each character. The upside is you will needed to do this only once. After that you will need to manage a smaller number of lorebooks than wrestling with a lorebook for each character. It will also let you link lorebook-less characters with said lorebooks if you so wish, including newly-made characters. However, the more characters you make, the more initial work you will have to do to reach said upside. I'm writing it all not to discourage you, but to try to be fair since you are the one who will have to go through it if you choose to.
I understand your annoyance with ST, I assume?
As things stand, I won't be touching lorebooks for a while, giving preference to character building over world building. Besides, it was my initial intent to create characters you can integrate into group chats, into campaigns that take place in other worlds. Deep Dark – Underdark, Generic kingdoms – Holy Kingdom, Northern Kingdom, and others intentionally use generic names. What's the real issue at the moment is deepening character connections...
But honestly... I don't know... I'm just saying it's not so trivial to arrive at a decision on what to do...
Just in case, I need to remind that character lore books aren't the same as world lorebooks. The former are distributed directly with the card and are automatically picked up by apps like ST or Risu. There's no need for you to do any legwork; the question box you see in ST when you import characters is rather silly and unnecessary.
