Character and Party are central modeling concepts inside Ichiloto.
A character owns the individual data that makes an actor battle-ready: stats, equipment, skills, and current state. A party organizes multiple characters into a playable group and becomes the higher-level container used by scenes, menus, and battles.
This separation is useful because it prevents group behavior from collapsing into per-character logic. The character can stay focused on identity and capability, while the party can answer composition, order, and shared-inventory questions.
