11 days to launch: what question would you ask YOUR protagonist?

Hi! Johnson here — solo maker of Khotan Studios, launching July 21.

The origin story: two years into writing a historical novel, I knew everything my protagonist DID and nothing about WHY. Outlines didn't help. So I built a tool that plays your character as a person in the room — one who pushes back, keeps secrets, and refuses to be a helpful assistant — and interrogated him like a hostile witness. One hour rewrote 300 pages.

This week we shipped the two features I'm most proud of:

• Cross-session character memory — your character remembers what they committed to last time

• Character Sheet export — voice, established facts, contradictions, all back to your manuscript

Free tier is live (khotanstudios.com) if you want to try before launch day.

So, writers of PH: what's the one question you'd ask your protagonist if they had to answer honestly? Best question gets interviewed live in the comments on launch day.
