VivaQuest
AI-proof oral defence for ages 15–18: generates a viva question bank from the student's OWN outline at three depths (recall / explain / defend) + a self-score rubric; a partner asks aloud (Together-primary, no mic, no LLM). AI-proof by format. Text-forward.
#4E342E Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
VivaQuest's adapted-DN-S cast (ages 15–18, realistic personas — no mascots, per R-OLDER-TEEN-DN-ADAPTED) each embody one argument-and-defence primitive; mentor Examiner Pryce asks the questions and guides the defence.
Aria
The claim — state your one clear thesis
Emmet
Evidence — back it with a specific source, not a vibe
Gio
Reasoning — show why the evidence proves the claim
Camila
Counter-argument — steelman the other side, then answer it
Desmond
Define terms — say exactly what your key words mean
Reza
Cite the source — where did this come from, and can you find it again?
Anka
Structure — signpost so a listener can follow you
Anaya
The hard follow-up — defend calmly when pressed
Delv
Depth — 'say more': go past the first sentence
Examiner Pryce
(Mentor) — asks the questions and guides the defence
