Popularizing their IP via Fan-UGC incentives — Fans of characters today already create fantasies on top of them, the reward being status/joy from seeing others consume their creation, UGC incentives doubles the reward gained - not as a cash out mechanism but a currency to deepen consumption and engagement within the platform. Ultimately, attracting other creators to Partona because consumer base and creators are extra sticky

This behavior/desire for Creators is exhibited today by writing lengthy lore books to the characters backstory but again they end up limited to just text. Partona allows creators to add on different aspects to their creations to deepen immersion. 3D-ise the chars; add voice; turn pics into vids; add live expressions & animations etc. to bring it to life apart from words
