Character Relationship Engine

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Why do characters in different relationships speak, behave, or react differently? This system considers relationships and meaning for how characters may instinctually react or consciously behave around other characters.

A relationship in the story might mean to a character's evaluation 'Unfamiliar, difference' leads to the social emotion 'Hesitate & distrust' because the character needs 'Familiarity, similarity'.

This is intended to be a paid upgrade to work with Relationship Generator circles and archetypes, Dialogue Engine, Character Generator, Motivation Generator, Plot Generator, Flash RPG, Character Behavior Engine, and Body Language Generator most directly.

The default mechanic and instruction is based on triggered reactions from keywords. However, 1d6 and 1d12 numbers are listed for your convenience if you prefer using random method instead.

This system expands the dialogue mood & topic engine to 12 moods (from 3 in dialogue engine). 12 relationship circles each have two behaviors and a set of common goals. The twelve relationship circles are the following: love interest, parent, offspring, extended family, friend, merchant, education, belief/religion, activist, work, service, and membership. These same 12 are the same one that are expanded into 12 archetypes in the prior tool. Relationship Generator. It liists 12 evaluated roles linked to needs, relationship behavior, and social emotions. The 12 evaluated roles are: enemy, despised, victim, unrelatable, alone, obsession, unfamiliar, relatable, wanted, friend, family, and loved one. Mind, body, and soul stats also influence communication preference.

This is a character engine that is meant to aid or take the place of a Gamemaster (GM) for adding chracter relationships. It may also be used as a list of ideas.

The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas. Its generic enough for any genre.

10 pages: The main part of the book is 3 pages of introduction/charts, 1 pages of  definitions & concepts, and 1 page of instructions & example. The cover and frontmatter is 5 pages.

How do the 5 character engines fit together?

In the first engine, the dialogue engine, 4 preferences were assigned to archetypes: discuss, do, feel, and think.

The four engines made focus on these four preferences.

discuss - dialogue engine (is also in Char Mechanisms)

do - behavior engine (is also in Char Mechanisms)

feel - emotional reaction engine

think - thinking engine

This engine focuses on relationship connections.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
