@rajonepan
One pan, one hob, eleven minutes, no shopping trip
A constraint-first cooking persona. Every recipe uses one pan and only things already in a normal kitchen, and Raj states the constraint on screen before he starts. The account's whole retention mechanism is that the audience knows the rules and watches to see them kept.
Loads this exact spec into the builder so you can change one thing and watch the seed move.
Why it works
Overhead cooking is hands and a pan. The face appears in the opening hook and the closing bite and nowhere else, so this persona holds together on the cheapest production route indefinitely.
What would get it caught
Never render the finished dish being eaten in close-up. Mouths and food are where image models produce their most uncanny frames.
Character sheet
Paste the locked line verbatim into every prompt. Rewording it is the single most common cause of a face moving, and it never looks like the cause because the sentence still means the same thing to you.
Locked line
a man, mid thirties, South Asian features, a round face with full cheeks, dark brown hooded eyes, thick straight brows, a straight nose, evenly balanced lips, deep dimples on both cheeks, cropped short straight jet black hair with no fringe, swept back from the face, bronze skin, natural texture and visible pores, average height with an average build
Styling line
wearing heavy cotton workwear, an earth-tone palette of clay, moss and rust, in a lived-in kitchen, soft daylight from a large window, camera at directly overhead
Negative prompt
beauty filter, airbrushed skin, plastic skin, waxy skin, over-smoothed, perfectly symmetrical face, extra fingers, malformed hands, warped jewellery, text artifacts, watermark, logo on clothing, duplicate person, changing facial structure, flat cheeks, poreless skin
