Serial work: what each tool documents about continuity

An element that carries an appearance and a voice between generations

The model guide states that characters defined as elements carry their appearance and voice between generations. Two attributes travel in one object, and the sentence is about generations rather than about episodes, which is the scale this page works at. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. Three points per reading: the sentence as the vendor published it, the thing that sentence names, and what it declines to settle. Nothing here is inferred from an interface or a demo. Order. From the published sentence, to what it names, to what it leaves open.

1Voice inside the element changes what a recast costs

If the voice travels with the appearance, a character is one thing to maintain instead of two, and a mismatch between how somebody looks and how they sound cannot arise from mixing up two separate settings.

It also raises a question the page does not answer: what a production does when it wants the same face with a different voice for a flashback, a possession or a dub. Bundling helps until the moment it does not.

2A cast system with no season around it is a coherent shape

This page documents the character layer carefully and says nothing about episodes. For a model vendor that is the expected division of labour: the model holds the face and somebody else holds the running order.

Readers should not read the silence in the neighbouring column as an omission here. It is the shape of the product, and it means the structural work stays with whoever buys it.
