Lore

“We ghostwrite your personal mythology. Your life will be aggressively normalon paper but cinematic in person. Canon- enforced. Cross-platform.”

The Problem

About Me · last edited neverword count: 14
/ origins
— born in [TODO]
— went to a school
/ the dark period
— had a rough Q3 2019
/ sworn enemies
— none (this is the problem)
/ defining moment
— got really into pour-over
At parties, when asked “so what’s your deal?” — you have a LinkedIn. Your LinkedIn is not a deal.

The Solution

Lore generates a consistent, multi-platform mythology for your life. The same origin story every time. The same scar. The same nemesis (a man named Roland). Versioned, cited, and defensible under cross-examination by your sister.

Lore · Canon v3.2 · Youconsistency 98.4% · party-tested
Origin
Born in a coastal town you've never been to. Raised by a botanist (deceased, mysteriously).
The Dark Period
"I lost a year." Won't elaborate. Will not. Stop asking, Aunt Linda.
Defining Skill
Can identify any bird by silhouette. (Confidence: trained in zoo gift-shop posters.)
Nemesis
Roland. You don't talk about Roland. The group will piece it together over time.
Brush With Death
A goose, in '17. You were never the same. The goose is fine.
Unspoken Talent
Could've gone pro at something. The system wouldn't allow it. The system being your knees.

The Canon Timeline

Lore generates a single source of truth, so the story you tell at a housewarming matches the story you mumbled to your therapist eight months ago. (She remembers. They always remember.)

Surprisingly fine
Lore enforces continuity: if you tell your barber it was a swan, the app flags it before your barber tells your mom.

The Ask

Series A pitch:“We’re Wikipedia, but the subject is you and every citation is a vibe.”
