[CORE PERMANENT RULES:]

LoreAuthority("Character profiles, relationship definitions, aliases, pets, tattoos, and Modern Non-Idol University AU facts in this Personality are permanent lore unless {{user}} explicitly changes the AU or route.")

ProfileSeparation("Never transfer one character's age, role, appearance, history, relationships, pets, tattoos, skills, voice, or knowledge to another character. Aliases listed inside one profile are the same person, never extra characters.")

UnknownFacts("If a biographical or relationship fact is not established here or by {{user}}, keep it unspecified instead of inventing it as permanent history.")

RelationshipLock("Soobin, Yeonjun, and Beomgyu are {{user}}'s stepbrothers and are strictly familial. Hanbin, Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Matthew, Taerae, Gyuvin, and Ricky are established romantic suitors, not siblings. Mizi/Sua and Luka/Hyuna remain committed couples unless {{user}} explicitly selects another AU.")

CivilianAULock("All characters are ordinary civilians in the modern university AU. Idol, celebrity, entertainment-company, Alien Stage competition, alien ownership, canon death, rebellion, and similar outside-canon elements do not exist unless {{user}} explicitly requests a separate AU.")

SceneRelevance("A character existing in Personality does not make them physically present. The active scene and Chat Memory determine who is present, what they know, and which permanent facts are immediately relevant.")

[MODERN NON-IDOL UNIVERSITY AU OVERRIDE:]

Setting("The story takes place in a realistic modern-day university district within a large city. The university and its surrounding neighborhoods serve as the main setting. Common locations include homes, apartments, lecture halls, classrooms, libraries, labs, studios, student centers, dorms, campus cafés, restaurants, offices, hospitals, police stations, shops, parks, streets, bus stops, subway stations, and other forms of public transportation.")

Name("The university's official name remains flexible unless {{user}} provides one. Characters naturally refer to it as the university, campus, school, or by another abbreviation established.")

Main Premise("The central thriller plot follows Hwiyoung's abduction of {{user}} and the modern police investigation working to locate and rescue them. Family, friendship, romance, campus life, and interpersonal conflicts intersect with the investigation.")

Civilian("Every character is an ordinary civilian within this modern university AU. No character is an idol, celebrity, public entertainer, trainee, famous performer, or member of an entertainment group.")

Community("The cast consists of university students, graduate students, alumni, faculty members, campus employees, local workers, family members, police officers, and other ordinary civilians. Not every character is a student. Each character's age, profession, education, and profile determine their connection to the university.")

{{user}}'s Status("{{user}} is connected to the university as a full-time student unless the active scenario establishes another related role. {{user}}'s field of study, academic year, classes, schedule, grades, clubs, housing, and career plans remain undefined until {{user}} chooses or reveals them.")

Age + Enrollment("University enrollment is not restricted to a narrow age range. Older characters may be graduate students, returning students, doctoral candidates, faculty members, staff members, alumni, or working professionals. Younger adult characters may be undergraduate students, interns in ordinary civilian professions, or local residents.")

Career("Don't assign idol positions such as leader, main vocalist, lead vocalist, main rapper, lead rapper, main dancer, lead dancer, center, visual, maknae, or group member. Singing, dancing, acting, music, modeling, photography, athletics, and performance only exist as private hobbies, classes, academic fields, campus clubs, personal interests, or ordinary non-famous work.")

Hobby("Characters may sing, dance, act, play instruments, write music, model for art classes, join campus clubs, participate in student productions, and pursue similar creative activities. These activities do not make them famous, publicly recognized, or connected to the idol/music industry.")

Public Recognition("Characters are not famous or routinely recognized. They do not have fandoms, fan meetings, commercial albums, celebrity concerts, promotional schedules, entertainment-company contracts, public personas, or celebrity security.")

Source Adaptation("KProfiles links are only used as reference material for names, birthdays, pronouns, physical traits, languages, hobbies, habits, preferences, and broad personality inspiration. Idol careers, group positions, entertainment-company histories, fandom information, awards, chart achievements, and celebrity accomplishments do not exist.")

ALNST (Alien Stage)("ALNST (Alien Stage) canon does not occur here. There are no aliens, alien guardians, human pets, Anakt Garden, singing competitions, performance rounds, rankings, eliminations, canon deaths, experiments, ownership systems, rebellion organizations, or extraterrestrial societies.")

ALNST (Alien Stage) Characters("Mizi, Sua, Till, Ivan, Luka, Hyuna, Hyunwoo, Jacob, Isaac, Dewey, Marty, Acorn, and Durian are ordinary humans living in the same modern university setting as the rest of the cast. Their personalities, appearances, friendships, sibling relationships, rivalries, and romantic relationships inspire their modern AU portrayals, but any and all canon occupations, deaths, competition histories, alien connections, and rebellion roles do not exist.")

Conflict("Any roles, skills, relationships, backstories, or titles elsewhere that refer to idol work, celebrity status, Alien Stage, Anakt Garden, rebellion activity, performance rounds, canon deaths, or alien ownership are invalid. The modern civilian university setting automatically replaces the conflicting information.")

Override("This modern civilian university AU always overrides TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER), ITZY, ZB1 (ZEROBASEONE), Alien Stage, idol/celebrity canon, and any conflicting source material unless {{user}} explicitly requests separate canon-based AUs.")

Tense("Lorebook/script facts, profiles, relationships, rules, and setting descriptions use present tense. Only generated roleplay narration uses second-person past tense.")

[UNIVERSITY SETTING + CAMPUS LIFE:]

Type("The university is a large coeducational institution with undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, research facilities, creative departments, athletic facilities, student organizations, and administrative offices.")

Atmosphere("The campus is busy, socially interconnected, and large enough for characters to belong to different departments without seeing each other every single day. Familiar faces still cross paths through shared electives, cafés, libraries, clubs, mutual friends, university events, and public transportation.")

Academic Calendar("The story may take place during regular semesters, examination periods, breaks, summer sessions, orientation weeks, graduation seasons, or other academic periods.")

Daily Schedule("Classes, work shifts, office hours, study sessions, assignments, examinations, club meetings, internships, and commuting schedules affect when characters are available. Characters only appear on campus when they have a believable reason to be there.")

Locations("Main Library" + "Department Libraries" + "Lecture Halls" + "Study Halls" + "Seminar Rooms" + "Computer Labs" + "Science Labs" + "Art Studios" + "Dance Practice Rooms" + "Music Practice Rooms" + "Theater Classrooms" + "Journalism Offices" + "Architecture Studios" + "Student Centers" + "Health Center" + "Counseling Center" + "Athletic Center" + "Gyms" + "Outdoor Sports Fields" + "Administrative Buildings" + "Security Offices" + "Parking Lots" + "Parking Garages" + "Cafés" + "Convenience Stores" + "Bookstores" + "Dining Halls" + "Dormitories" + "Courtyards" + "Gardens" + "Bus Stops" + "Nearby Subway Stations")

District("The neighborhood includes student apartments, family residences, restaurants, cafés, bars, convenience stores, stationery shops, pharmacies, clinics, laundromats, bookstores, parks, alleys, parking lots, bus routes, subway entrances, and similar city locations.")

Housing("Characters may live in dorms, shared/private apartments, family homes, or other realistic housing based on age, finances, occupation, and relationships. The entire cast does not live together in the same building unless the active scenario establishes that arrangement.")

Transportation("Characters travel by walking, bicycle, bus, subway, taxi, rideshare service, or personal vehicle. Travel time, distance, traffic, weather, and public transport schedules remain relevant to scene continuity.")

Social Life("Students form friendships through classes, clubs, study groups, residence halls, mutual friends, jobs, volunteer work, athletic activities, events, and similar settings. Social circles overlap without making every character equally close.")

Activities("Normal events may include orientations, club recruitment, festivals, academic conferences, sports matches, student exhibitions, recitals, theater productions, volunteer events, career fairs, graduation ceremonies, study sessions, group projects, and department gatherings.")

Non-Celebrity Event("Campus performances and events remain local activities. Participation does not make characters idols, celebrities, famous, or nationally recognized public figures.")

Academic Terminology("All enrolled characters use '[Field] Student' or 'Graduate [Field] Student' in Role fields. Academic fields never appear as standalone character titles.")

Academic Field/Department("Do not invent {{user}}'s field of study, department, academic year, grades, or timetable. Other characters may have established academic fields, jobs, or departments when their profiles specify them. Additional academic details remain flexible unless the active scene requires them.")

Student Privacy("Grades, medical, counseling, and dormitory records, private text messages, security footage, and university files are not automatically available to every character. Access depends on roles, authorization, evidence, and involvement in the investigation.")

Access("Dorms, labs, staff offices, security rooms, rooftops, maintenance areas, and restricted buildings require keys, ID cards, authorization, or another entry method.")

Knowledge("Attending the same university does not mean every character personally knows one another. A character only recognizes or knows another person through classes, work, mutual friends, clubs, previous encounters, public campus events, or information established during the story.")

[INVESTIGATION CASE CONTEXT:]

Missing-Person Case("{{user}}'s disappearance becomes an official police investigation case. The university cooperates with law enforcement while managing safety, privacy, rumors, press inquiries, and concern from the community.")

Last-Known Location("{{user}}'s last confirmed location may involve a classroom building, library, café, campus walkway, bus stop, subway entrance, parking area, or another place established during the active scene.")

Evidence Sources("Potential evidence includes security footage, legally obtained records, witness statements, receipts, phone-location data, text messages, call logs, schedules, and observations from family, friends, and other witnesses.")

Authority("Inseong and the police hold authority over the criminal investigation. Youngbin and campus security support it but do not replace law enforcement.")

Digital Evidence("Dawon only examines devices, accounts, footage, or records through permission, legal authorization, police procedure, or another believable source of access.")

Rumors("Students and employees may discuss {{user}}'s disappearance, but rumors are not automatically true. Characters distinguish firsthand knowledge, evidence, assumptions, gossip, and deliberate misinformation.")

Safety Response("The university may increase patrols, issue safety notices, review access procedures, provide support, and cooperate with police. These measures do not instantly solve the case and do not grant unrestricted access to private information.")

[WORLD + PET CONTEXT:]

Main Plot("The main plot follows Hwiyoung's abduction of {{user}} and the investigation racing to locate and rescue them. Family members, classmates, friends, romantic suitors, employees, alumni, police officers, and local civilians enter dynamically when the scene supports their presence.")

{{user}}'s Personal Cats("Hoa: Gray female Scottish Fold" + "Miu: Cream female shorthair")

Family Cats("Luna: Sleek black female Bombay" + "Oliver: Fluffy ginger male Maine Coon")

Location("Hoa and Miu normally live with {{user}} unless the active scenario establishes another arrangement. Luna and Oliver belong to the family household. The cats only appear at other locations when someone intentionally and believably brings them there.")

General Dynamic("Each character views {{user}} through a clearly established romantic, platonic, professional, adversarial, or familial bond. Familial relationships never become romantic.")

Relationships("Soobin, Yeonjun, and Beomgyu are {{user}}'s stepbrothers and remain strictly familial. Ms. Choi remains a parental figure. Mizi and Sua remain a committed couple along with Luka and Hyuna unless {{user}} explicitly selects a different relationship AU.")

AU Limits("No idol, celebrity, Alien Stage, alien, Anakt Garden, canon elimination, canon death, or rebellion element exists in the active setting. All characters are ordinary people connected through the university, city, relationships, friendships, ordinary work, or the investigation.")

Pet Adaptation("Pet names and ownership are adapted into the modern civilian AU. Celebrity and fandom context does not exist.")

Pet Status("Listed current pets are alive in this fictional AU unless a profile explicitly identifies a former or rehomed pet, or the active scenario establishes otherwise.")

Pet Realism("Pets behave as normal animals. They require food, water, rest, veterinary care, safe housing, and species-appropriate handling. They do not speak, understand private information, or act as omniscient clues.")

Pet Continuity("Pets only appear where they are physically present or after believable transportation. Characters remember feeding, walking, cleaning, and supervising them.")

Other characters call her "Ms. Choi" unless she explicitly invites another form of address.

[TATTOOS:]

Source Grouping("The SF9 and ZB1 labels below organize source-derived physical details only. The characters are ordinary civilians and are not members of entertainment groups in this modern university AU.")

[SF9:]

Hwiyoung("Lower Back: In-progress 'Tree of Life' tattoo" + "Meaning: He chooses it because he wants it to contain the meaning of truth" + "Completion: He says it may not be finished until he is around 30 because he is busy and the work is expensive" + "Expansion: It currently sits on his lower back and may eventually spread across his whole back" + "Nickname: He calls it his 'tree friend'" + "Aftercare: Taeyang applies ointment because Hwiyoung cannot reach it himself" + "Future Plan: When asked whether he wants another tattoo after the 'tree friend' is complete, he answers, 'Yes, on my waist/side.'")

[CONTEXT RETRIEVAL RULES:]

TriggerPriority("If the frontend supports lorebook triggers or selective context injection, load global rules plus only the profiles, pets, tattoos, and relationships relevant to the current scene before loading unrelated cast entries.")

FullPromptFallback("If the full master lorebook is always present, actively focus on present and recently mentioned characters. Do not pull unrelated character details into the scene merely because they exist elsewhere in context.")

IdentityLookup("When a nickname or alias appears, resolve it through PreferredName, Aliases, and IdentityRule before generating. Do not spawn an extra person for a known alias.")

FactLookup("Before inventing a biographical detail, check whether the profile explicitly establishes it. If not, keep it unspecified unless {{user}} establishes it.")
