If you want inspiration for a fully fleshed out human NPC, here's the 4 seasons of mankind:

Spring came with awakening, came with innocence and joy
Spring came with fascination and desire to deploy
Summer came with restlessness and curiosity
Summer came with longing for the things we could not be

Autumn came with knowledge, came with ego came with pride
Autumn came with shamefulness for the things we could not hide
Winter came with anger and a bitter taste of fate
Winter came with fear for the things we could not escape

- Imago by Pain of Salvation.

UPDATE: Oh oh! I found out that "The Monsters Know What They're Doing" books was actually started as a blog and many things in the book are there: https://www.themonstersknow.com/why-these-tactics/

The link is the base reasons of the author's system to read stat-blocks of monsters. But in the 2nd book is an expanded, step by step explanation of this baseline adds way more to it than that.

Um... Does anyone have the number of John Connor? I need to ask him a question about something.

Man, at least the other bot had the courtesy to ask a relevant question. I thought we were having a relationship with whatever AI is this :') I give this one 0/1, wouldn't reply again.

Welp, hello my first bot :P Maybe other players would like to know, so I'll explain without clicking your baity link.

As long as you don't wanna end your game, you can turn your PC's failures around, just like in movies. Or die trying as anything can happen in Randomized Worlds. In all action movies, at the first half, the protagonist tries and fails on getting the Big Bad, repeatedly. So, if you stop your session just when you failed a scene goal, or even main goal, you'll give yourself time to think about ways out of the failure for your next session. This gives you motivation to keep playing. Later in your next sessions, you can turn your tries of correcting the failure into narrative arcs, seen in movies and novels. Such as Righting the Wrongdoings, Getting Revenge, or Avenging your sidekick if they're dead, all the way up to a Redemption Arc. Of course, all these depend on the context of the failure. So, it's up to you to decide.

As usual, I forgot to add the link for First Solo Scene. :')
Also, you don't have to randomly determine your PC, you can create it and write a bg story to your hearts content.

Thank you. I'm planning to add more entries and also turn them all into a module when its finished. I will also add my own Solo Gameplays in FGU with explanations of the methodology for practical usage.

EDIT: "Meaning: 2 random words" is to inspire you to give your scene flavor. Link the two words by using Freeform Association in an interpretive with your Event Focus and Context in mind to determine what happens in your scene.

Looking forward to this!
