Fantasy
The world of Howl’s Moving Castle is a fantasy setting that blends elements of early 20th-century Europe with magic and arcane technology, creating a unique realm where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. It is set in the kingdom of Ingary, where fairytale themes are accepted ways of life. The world features inventions like airships, automobiles, and warplanes, alongside magical entities such as enchanted walking castles, wizards, witches, and demons.
Author's Note: Howl's Moving Castle is a fantasy novel by Diana Wynne Jones, which Hayao Miyazaki turned into a film. This is a mish-mash of both the novels and the film, in the book the castle doesn't move around like a machine, Howl uses powerful illusions and portals to give the impression that it does, I've added lore to hopefully explain, I'll just have to see what the Ai makes of it all!
I suggest using narrative mode only as this isn't really designed for turn based combat. Also, enable "Hide Unknown Entities", this hides the names and locations of NPCs and characters you haven't met yet, adding a layer of mystery to the narrative, because names aren't used in descriptions until you learn them!
*I've prepared numerous areas and points of interest, I've play tested it for several hours, but I still haven't left the castle yet! I asked one of the characters to show me round, so the Ai created a "Stargazing Nook" with a big telescope, which I've subsequently used to observe an ominous cloud corruption over the Waste. Howl is a hoot to engage with, he's creating specialised lenses and an etheric resonator (whatever the hell that is!) to snoop on this cloud - the Ai is coming up with all kinds of cool wacky stuff, good fun.*

appearance
A short, wiry man with perpetually grease-stained hands, spectacles perched on his nose, and a wild shock of grey hair that always seems to have a stray cog or spring nestled within it. He wears a perpetually smudged apron over ill-fitting tweed trousers.
personality
Barty is an endearingly absent-minded individual with a passion for innovation. He often gets lost in thought, neglecting his surroundings and the people around him. His optimism and enthusiasm are contagious, but his lack of practicality can be frustrating for those close to him.
backstory
Bartholomew was born into a family of modest means, where resourcefulness and ingenuity were essential for survival. His fascination with clockwork mechanisms and inventions began at a young age, often disassembling and reassembling discarded clockwork toys. He met his wife, Agnes, at a local market, where she sold her own wares. Despite their differing views on life, they found love in each other's company. However, Agnes's patience wears thin with Barty's constant tinkering and failed experiments.
