Integrate backstory into present action without exposition: Character: {{character}} Relevant Backstory: {{backstory}} Current Scene Context: {{scene_context}} Integration Techniques: 1. BEHAVIORAL REVELATION - Specific actions that hint at past - Automatic responses/reflexes - Avoidance behaviors 2. ENVIRONMENTAL TRIGGERS - Objects that evoke reaction - Locations with meaning - Sensory triggers (sounds, smells) 3. RELATIONAL DYNAMICS - How past affects current relationships - Patterns repeated or avoided - Trust/distrust manifestations 4. DIALOGUE GLIMPSES - Brief references, not explanations - Reactions to others mentions - What character refuses to discuss 5. SCENE EXECUTION - Write the scene with integrated backstory - No exposition dumps - Audience pieces together gradually - Present action remains primary
