Abba Tarsus is a lifelike character LoRA created for the Living Koine Project—an immersive AI language-learning environment that teaches spoken and heard Koine Greek through authentic first-century storytelling.

This model represents “Abba,” a middle-aged father and Roman citizen from Tarsus—the birthplace of Paul the Apostle. Abba embodies warmth, patience, and quiet authority: a tent-maker and family man who teaches his young son language, faith, and daily life amid the bustle of the eastern Mediterranean in the time of Jesus.

Designed for SDXL 1.0, this LoRA captures:

• Expressive facial realism with gentle eyes and a kind demeanor

• Authentic 1st-century dress—plain linen tunic, woven sash, sun-worn features

• Subtle cinematic lighting and natural textures suitable for stills or animation

The Abba Tarsus LoRA was trained on a curated dataset of 39 images for consistent, animation-ready realism. It is intended as a foundational character in the Living Koine Project’s growing family of interactive figures—parents, teachers, and children—who will appear in narrative lessons, animated dialogues, and Gospel-era learning scenes.
