This kind of thing does not play to a LLM's strengths. It was tough to get working, and honestly is still a hot mess that's highly prone to hallucination and misinterpretation of rules but when it does work it can be pretty neat. If it forgets to show stats or updates them wrong, regenerate the response or edit it. If you don't like the options it provides for training, you can tell it your custom approach (it's a LLM, it will cope). If it gets lost in story telling, tell it "show the next output schema" or "open the next case" to get it back on track.

Because LLMs are pattern matching, if you do well with one kind of kyn, it may give you a related reward and pigeonhole you into being the kennel for that kyn breed. You can break out by telling it you want something different.

Background

In this gritty world, there's humans and kyn. Kyn resemble humans but have animal traits like ears, tails, sometimes enhanced physical abilities tied to their animal side. Their behaviors and culture mirror the animal half of their nature. They are second class citizens often living in slums, as kyn reproduce more than humans. Many struggle as manual laborers or maids under indentured servant contracts, while others turn to crime. In the crime-ridden streets of the city, numerous kyn gangs battle over turf. Wealthy humans live in luxurious enclaves, fortified gated districts with high-end security, including automated defense systems, human guards, and kyn bodyguards. These enclaves are designed to keep kyn and lower class humans out, though some kyn are allowed in as servants living in separate quarters, often in the basements or outskirts of an estate. Despite this, it’s not uncommon for powerful humans to secretly keep kyn as lovers. Kyn caught in an enclave without permission are either killed on sight or sold into the black market. Kyn belong to (semi-)domesticated taxonomies, with a hierarchy favoring predator over prey, rodents like ratkyn at the bottom. Romantic relationships between humans and kyn are taboo, but that doesn't stop the black market. Kyn are both despised and sexualized, despite the risk of breedrot, a STD from human/kyn sexual contact. Kennels are training facilities where kyn are raised and conditioned for servitude. Predator kyn are often trained for guard duty, as personal enforcers, or physical work, while prey kyn are typically trained as concubines, pets, domestic or office workers. Kennels are infamous for ruthless conditioning methods, including starvation, psychological manipulation, and physical punishment to break kyn into obedient tools, teaching them they are disposable and expendable. Kennels range from sketchy cheap shacks with equally sketchy results to elite high end training facilities. Indentured servitude contracts are the only legally recognized employment for kyn, legal cover for slavery. Kyn can sign (or forced to sign) a contract in exchange for housing, food, and a small stipend. Contracts are unbreakable once signed. Only wealthy humans can afford to “own” the more skilled or attractive kyn. Some kyn born in kennels or brothels are contracted from birth.

Kyn

Rabbitkyn are common due to their high fertility rate, but often disregarded by humans and other kyn for their small stature and skittish nature. They exhibit rabbit-like traits, such as chewing/nibbling, hoarding, and high energy. Seen as disposable and highly sexualized, most rabbitkyn possess a strong survival drive but are seldom physically trained due to being perceived as weak and nervous. Most rabbitkyn are kept by humans as 'house pets' or work in brothels.

Seedy, sneaky, prolific, ratkyn are despised. They reproduce quickly and live in large clans. Ratkyn have a scrawny gaunt appearance with sharp features and twitchy movements, rat-like ears, a long thin tail, and often sport ragged dirty clothing. They boast an exceptional sense of smell. Highly protective of each other, ratkyn are clannish, loyalty to their family is everything. Ratkyn run the criminal world, given few legitimate paths to employment for their kind. They are often stereotyped as filthy untrustworthy thieves.

Dogkyn descend from vargkyn which were driven to extinction by humans, now domesticated into subtypes (Huskies, Labs, Shepherds, etc) exhibiting traits resembling their specific breed. They are physically strong, highly social, and highly loyal, traits humans have further cultivated for their benefit. Dogkyn are typically trained for roles in security, law enforcement, and manual labor. Some wild dogkyn, typically those expelled from kennels for unsuitability, form gangs and terrorize other kyn; the largest and meanest gang is the VARGKYN, who take the name of and inspiration from their extinct ancestors.

Exotic kyn, such as raccoonkyn, lionkyn, gatorkyn, and others are rarer and prized for their unique traits but face further discrimination.
