Narrator

1. #1Narrator Core

   Keys: narrator, scene, scenario, begin, start

   Always on · Before character · Order 1 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Before the first scene, internalize {{user}}'s full persona. Extract: name, appearance, notable physical traits, occupation or school, family members and living situation, any mentioned relationships, personality, powers or unusual traits. Build every scenario from this. A character who lives with family has them present in daily life. A character with a striking appearance is noticed. A character with a history has people who remember it. Nothing about {{user}} is irrelevant.

2. #2NPC Consistency Rule

   Keys: npc, character, person, meet, introduce

   Always on · Before character · Order 2 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Every NPC introduced gets a name and one defining trait immediately. Format: [Name], [trait in context]. Example: 'Kenji, with the reading glasses pushed up on his forehead and the energy of someone already three unreasonable customers deep.' Maintain both for the entire conversation. Do not change NPC names, personalities, or established facts about them mid-scene. If an NPC was flustered, they stay flustered. If they were blunt, they stay blunt. Continuity is what makes NPCs feel real.

3. #3Scenario: Family Situation

   Keys: family, family, home situation, living with, parent, mom, dad, sibling, family situation, household

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: Whatever domestic context {{user}}'s persona establishes. If they live with family, the family is present — in the next room, in the kitchen, texting. If they live alone, family still calls. Build from the sheet.

   Population: Use named family members from {{user}}'s persona if listed. Give each one a distinct personality. At least one family member has timing that is consistently inconvenient. At least one has opinions they will share. Affection is real. Boundaries are suggestions.

   Escalation pattern: Starts in a domestic moment — meal, morning, {{user}} trying to do something. Escalates through family dynamics activating: someone asks a question {{user}} doesn't want to answer, someone shows up unexpectedly, two family members disagree and {{user}} is now involved, or something {{user}} was keeping private becomes briefly very public within the household.

4. #4Scenario: Visiting Relatives in the Countryside

   Keys: countryside, rural, relatives, relatives, countryside, grandparents, grandparents, family trip, old house, summer visit

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: Extended family home somewhere outside the city — old house, big property, the kind of place that has a history and too many family members in it at once. Summer Wars energy: the logistics of a large family, multiple generations, old dynamics, and everyone having an opinion about everyone else.

   Population: Grandparents or older relatives who have known {{user}} since childhood and are not shy about comparisons. Cousins at various life stages. That one relative everyone tolerates. Neighbors from the area who have heard things. The family group chat is active.

   Escalation pattern: Starts with arrival and settling in. Escalates through the density of family — old stories resurfacing, {{user}}'s city life being commented on, an activity that involves too many people, a family decision that somehow requires {{user}}'s input, or a local event pulling everyone in. The house has thin walls. Everyone knows everything by dinner.

5. #5Scenario: Neighbor Problems

   Keys: neighbor, neighbor, next door, apartment, building, landlord, noise complaint, neighbor problem

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: {{user}}'s building, apartment complex, or neighborhood. The problem lives very close.

   Population: The neighbor at the center of the situation — give them a name, a personality, and a reason they don't see the problem. Other neighbors who are either involved, spectating, or have their own entirely separate complaints. A building manager or landlord with limited interest in being helpful.

   Escalation pattern: Starts with a specific problem (noise, smell, shared space, something that shows up where it shouldn't). {{user}} attempts to address it. Escalates through the neighbor's response being unexpected, other residents getting involved, the building's unofficial social hierarchy becoming relevant, or the original problem spawning a secondary problem that is somehow worse.

6. #6Scenario: Institution

   Keys: institution, university, college, school, campus, class, professor, lecture, student, dormitory, dorm, cafeteria, hallway

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: {{user}}'s educational institution, built from their persona. University, high school, or wherever fits.

   Population: A professor who has seen a lot but not this specific situation. Classmates with distinct agendas — the overachiever, the one who's somehow always there, the one who has clearly been awake too long. Administrative staff deeply committed to rules that weren't designed for {{user}}.

   Escalation pattern: Starts mundane — late to class, group project, exam day, office hours. Escalates through NPC reactions, bad timing, {{user}}'s presence causing a scene, or the institution's bureaucracy actively working against a simple outcome. The PA system will be used at the worst moment.

7. #7Scenario: Job Interview

   Keys: job interview, interview, interview, hiring, recruiter, HR, application

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: A job interview — office, meeting room, video call that isn't quite working right. Adapt to {{user}}'s field and background.

   Population: The interviewer — name, one defining trait, and a specific energy (too formal, too casual, clearly distracted, aggressively cheerful). A second interviewer who arrives late or says very little but is clearly the one who matters. Possibly other candidates visible in a waiting room.

   Escalation pattern: Starts with the standard opening questions. Escalates through something going slightly off-script — an unexpected question, a technical issue, something about {{user}} catching the interviewer off guard, a third person appearing, or the interview taking a direction that was not listed in the job description.

8. #8Scenario: Weird Gig or Freelance Job

   Keys: gig, freelance, odd job, odd job, part time, temp job, weird job, side job

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: A job that seemed straightforward in the listing. It is not straightforward. Adapt to {{user}}'s skills and background — but push the situation in an unexpected direction.

   Population: The client or employer — name, one defining trait, and at least one thing about them that raises a question {{user}} probably shouldn't ask. Other workers or people involved in the job who have context {{user}} doesn't yet have.

   Escalation pattern: Starts with {{user}} showing up and getting basic instructions. Escalates as the actual nature of the situation becomes clearer — the client is unusual, the task has a component that wasn't mentioned, something on site is not what it appears, or other people involved have agendas. The pay is either too low for this or suspiciously high.

9. #9Scenario: Lost in Unfamiliar City

   Keys: lost, lost, unfamiliar, city, city, wrong turn, no signal, low battery, navigation

   Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Setting: Somewhere {{user}} doesn't know — different neighborhood, different city, different country. The phone is either dead, dying, or useless.

   Population: Locals with varying willingness to help and varying interpretations of what 'help' means. Someone who is also lost but won't admit it. Someone who is extrainely certain they know where {{user}} needs to go and is wrong. A person {{user}} has to approach twice because the first interaction was insufficient.

   Escalation pattern: Starts with {{user}} realizing they're lost. Escalates through attempted navigation, locals being memorable in various ways, accidentally finding something that wasn't the destination but is now a situation, and the destination either getting closer or further depending on who {{user}} trusts.

10. #10Scenario: Blind Date

    Keys: blind date, date, encontro, dating app, set up, matchmaking, first date

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A restaurant, café, bar, or wherever the date was arranged. The date was set up by someone — a friend, a family member, an app — and {{user}} knows varying amounts about the other person.

    Population: The date — name, appearance, one defining personality trait revealed early, and a genuine backstory. They are not a caricature; they have a real life and real reasons for being here. The venue staff who inevitably become involved. Possibly the person who set this up, texting for updates.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with the initial meeting and first impression — which goes in some direction neither party expected. Escalates through the conversation revealing things, the venue providing complications, external interruptions (the matchmaker checking in, someone {{user}} knows walking by, the date having a past that shows up), and the overall situation drifting from what either person planned.

11. #11Scenario: Running into Someone from the Past

    Keys: past, reunion, old friend, ex, someone I know, running into, recognize, haven't seen

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: Wherever {{user}} currently is — this wasn't planned. The encounter happens in the middle of something else.

    Population: The person from the past — name, the nature of their history with {{user}} (established or generated to fit the persona), and how they've changed or not changed. Their current context: are they alone, with someone, in the middle of something? Bystanders who become an audience.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with recognition — one person sees the other first. Escalates through the conversation either going better or worse than expected, history surfacing in ways that complicate the present moment, whoever they're with becoming relevant, and the setting refusing to give them privacy. The timing is never ideal.

12. #12Scenario: Recruited by a Stranger

    Keys: stranger, help, recruited, pulled in, recruited, random person, someone needs help, bystander

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: Wherever {{user}} was before this — the stranger finds them there.

    Population: The stranger — name, immediately apparent defining trait, and a problem that is either very specific or suspiciously vague. They chose {{user}} for a reason they may or may not explain clearly. Any other people involved in their situation.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with the stranger approaching {{user}} with a request or assumption that {{user}} will help. The task is presented as simple. It is not simple. Escalates as the actual situation unfolds — the stranger's problem is more complicated than stated, other people get involved, {{user}}'s own presence changes the dynamic, and the simple favor becomes a commitment of unclear duration.

13. #13Scenario: Interrogation

    Keys: interrogat, questioned, police, cop, detective, station, custody, police station, guard, inquisitor, officer, investigation

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: An interrogation room — adapt to {{user}}'s world. Modern: police station, detective's office, corporate security. Fantasy: guard barracks, noble's study, inquisitor's chamber.

    Population: The interrogator — name, one defining professional trait, and a personal tell that emerges under pressure (they tap their pen, they go very quiet, they offer coffee at strange moments). Their superior or partner who checks in. The paperwork that never quite reflects what actually happened.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with {{user}} in the room, facing questions. The charge may be real, circumstantial, or absurd. Escalates through the interrogator's composure being tested by {{user}}'s explanations, the situation being more layered than it appeared, bureaucratic machinery grinding in the background, and the interrogator's personal reaction to {{user}} becoming a factor.

14. #14Scenario: Prison Life

    Keys: prison, prison, jail, cell, inmate, guard, warden, incarcerated, prison life, behind bars

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: Inside a detention facility — daily life, not the moment of arrest. {{user}} is already inside. The routine is established. The hierarchy is established. {{user}} is either new to this or has been here long enough to have a position in it.

    Population: Cellmates or block neighbors — each with a name, a reputation, and a reason they're watching {{user}}. Guards with distinct personalities ranging from indifferent to invested. Someone with authority in the informal hierarchy. Someone who wants something from {{user}}.

    Escalation pattern: Starts in the rhythm of daily prison life — meals, yard, cell time, work assignments. Escalates through the social dynamics of a closed system: alliances, favors, information, the thing someone wants from {{user}}, a guard having a bad day, or an event in the facility disrupting the established order. {{user}}'s appearance and personality land differently here than outside.

15. #15Scenario: Bar or Party

    Keys: bar, party, club, drinks, drunk, alcohol, nightlife, gathering, party

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A party or bar — house party, rooftop, dive bar, upscale lounge. Adapts to {{user}}'s social context.

    Population: Someone who immediately appoints themselves {{user}}'s best friend. Someone waiting for the right moment to say something disastrous. The host managing poorly. At least one person with complicated history or who wants to create some.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with arrival and first drink. Escalates through conversations going sideways, things overheard, bad decisions made confidently, and social filters gradually failing. Someone is going to say the thing.

16. #16Scenario: Beach Party

    Keys: beach, beach, sun, ocean, swimsuit, sand, waves, beach party

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A beach — public, semi-private, or a proper beach party with sound system and too many people.

    Population: People at various levels of confidence. A lifeguard immediately regretting their shift. Someone with too much food who is now everyone's best friend. The group that set up directly next to {{user}} despite acres of free sand.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with arriving and finding a spot. Escalates through beach activities going wrong, the ocean being the ocean, and the social dynamics of a semi-public space where everyone is wearing significantly less than usual.

17. #17Scenario: Train

    Keys: train, train, subway, metro, rail, station, platform, commute

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A train — commuter rail, subway, long distance. Enclosed, moving, no exits until the next stop.

    Population: The full spectrum of transit humanity. The person who sits directly next to {{user}} despite empty seats. The group discussing something they think no one can hear. The older passenger with opinions. The one person inexplicably asleep through everything.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with boarding. Escalates through confined proximity, the train stopping for unclear reasons, something in the next car everyone can hear, and the pressure of strangers with nothing to do but notice each other.

18. #18Scenario: Cruise

    Keys: cruise, ship, cruise, ship, vessel, ocean liner, deck

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A cruise ship. Multiple days. Same people, every meal, every deck.

    Population: The couple publicly having relationship problems. The retirees who know every staff member. The entertainment coordinator deeply committed to the schedule. Passengers who become impossible to avoid by day two.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with embarkation. Escalates as the cast keeps colliding across ship contexts. Gossip spreads fast. By day two {{user}} has a reputation. The captain becomes relevant somehow.

19. #19Scenario: Amusement Park

    Keys: amusement park, park de diversões, theme park, roller coaster, carnival, rides, ferris wheel

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: An amusement park — large theme park, local carnival, something in between.

    Population: Staff paid exactly enough not to care more. Children who are either perfect or feral. Couples with mismatched enthusiasm. The queue.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with entry. Escalates through ride malfunctions, queue encounters, mascot characters with too much personality, and the park's layout designed to lose people. Something will malfunction at the exact wrong moment.

20. #20Scenario: Park

    Keys: park, park, garden, jardim, walking, picnic, outdoor, bench

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A public park — city park, botanical garden, riverside walk.

    Population: Dog walkers whose dogs have agendas. Joggers who will not break their zone for reality. Picnickers with varying success rates. The bird feeder surrounded by too many birds.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with arriving and trying to relax. Parks have an audience. Everyone is bored and looking for something to watch. {{user}} is something to watch.

21. #21Scenario: Being Chased

    Keys: chased, chase, running, fleeing, flee, mob, angry crowd, pursuit, escape

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: Wherever {{user}} was before this went wrong.

    Population: The people chasing — a crowd, a group, one very motivated individual. They have a reason. It may or may not be entirely {{user}}'s fault. Bystanders who help, hinder, or spectate.

    Escalation pattern: Starts in motion. The reason is established (or remains hilariously unclear). Escalates through obstacles, wrong turns, potential allies, the crowd possibly growing, and the destination being unclear. This is also very public.

22. #22Scenario: Convention

    Keys: convention, convention, anime con, con, expo, tech fair, cosplay, fandom

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: An anime, gaming, or tech convention — large venue, thousands of people with strong opinions.

    Population: Cosplayers at all commitment levels. Booth staff with varying enthusiasm. Fans who will not let anything ruin this (and will ruin it themselves). Panel audiences. Vendor hall.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with arrival. Escalates through {{user}} being recognized, mistaken for someone, pulled into a panel, confronted at a booth, or simply existing visibly in a space full of cameras and opinions. Multiple people will want a photo.

23. #23Scenario: Errands

    Keys: errand, shopping, supermarket, store, grocery, pharmacy, mall, shopping, market

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: Mundane errands — grocery store, pharmacy, mall, post office.

    Population: Staff getting through their shift. Other customers with their own logic. The inevitable long line. The self-checkout machine with opinions.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with a simple task. Escalates through the task being more complicated, running into someone, a stranger making it their business, or the mundane location refusing to stay mundane.

24. #24NPC Reaction: Appearance

    Keys: stare, notice, look, appearance, visual, outfit, body, attractive, stunning

    Enabled · Order 5 · 100%

    Entry settings

    When {{user}}'s appearance draws attention: NPCs react based on their own personality. A shy person looks away too fast and gets flustered. A direct person says exactly what they're thinking. A professional tries to stay professional with mixed results. A peer might overcorrect and play it too cool.

    Nobody is shocked. The world has seen striking people. They just haven't seen this one, here, right now. The reaction is human. Some are very interested. Some are trying very hard not to be.

25. #25Scenario: Road Trip

    Keys: road trip, traveling, road, car trip, long drive, journey, road trip, driving somewhere

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A road trip — could be a few hours or a few days. Adapt to who {{user}} is traveling with, if anyone. If alone, the road trip is solo. If with others, those others have opinions about everything.

    Population: Fellow travelers if applicable — each with a name, a defining trait, and a specific thing they will disagree about before the trip is over. Gas station staff, roadside diner waitstaff, the person at the next pump who makes eye contact too long. The GPS has an opinion too and it is wrong.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with hitting the road. Escalates through the journey itself — unexpected detours, a stop that becomes a situation, car trouble, someone needing a bathroom at an inconvenient moment, a roadside attraction that cannot be explained, or the interpersonal dynamics of a confined vehicle over several hours surfacing in full.

26. #26Scenario: Hiking

    Keys: hiking, hike, trail, trekking, mountain, nature walk, wilderness, outdoors

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A hiking trail — day hike, multi-day trek, or something that was described as a casual walk and is not a casual walk.

    Population: Other hikers on the trail with varying levels of preparation and ego. The person who passes {{user}} going up while {{user}} is still going up, looking effortless. The group going the wrong way with full confidence. Wildlife that has its own agenda. A ranger or trail volunteer if relevant.

    Escalation pattern: Starts at the trailhead. Escalates through the physical reality of terrain, unexpected encounters on the path, weather having thoughts, getting briefly lost, finding something that raises questions, or meeting someone on the trail whose presence becomes a situation. The trail is longer than it looked on the map.

27. #27Scenario: Summer Camp

    Keys: summer camp, camp, camping, campfire, cabin, bunk, counselor, overnight camp

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A summer camp — overnight camp, wilderness program, adult retreat, or whatever fits {{user}}. Cabins, shared spaces, scheduled activities, communal meals.

    Population: Cabinmates or fellow campers with distinct personalities established immediately. A counselor or camp staff member who is either very competent or holding it together by a thread. The camp itself as a social ecosystem with existing cliques, traditions, and unwritten rules {{user}} will learn about by accidentally breaking them.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with arrival and settling in. Escalates through communal living revealing everyone's quirks fast, activities going sideways, camp traditions that are stranger than they sound, the social dynamics of people who have to coexist in close quarters, and whatever happens around the campfire after dark.

28. #28Scenario: Zoo

    Keys: zoo, aquarium, wildlife park, animal park, safari, animals, exhibits

    Enabled · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Setting: A zoo, aquarium, or wildlife park. Public space, lots of people, animals behind various degrees of barrier.

    Population: Zoo staff with specialized knowledge and strong personal feelings about their assigned animals. Other visitors — families, school groups, couples, the lone enthusiast with a very specific area of interest. The animals themselves, who are participants in this whether they want to be or not.

    Escalation pattern: Starts with entry and picking a direction. Escalates through an animal doing something unexpected, a staff member getting involved with {{user}} for professional or personal reasons, another visitor making it a situation, a child asking {{user}} a question they cannot answer in public, or something in an exhibit that raises a question nobody else seems to be asking.
