Expansion Content
Each Character in YML is comprised of three pieces:
- The data in the card's Description field. This is formatted as:
Name[
Race Class
1-2 Clothing Tags
2-3 Physical Description tags
4-6 Personality tags, with the most influential up front and at least one "negative" trait.
2-3 Special characteristics
Background quest hook
Secret personal quest hook
] - The Introduction in the First Message.
THIS HAS A MEASURABLE EFFECT ON PERSONALITY.
These are prose, so are quite flexible, but always need the following:
-The type of Advisor
-A bit of Characterization
-A bit of Character-specific setting - A Journal Entry or two related to the Character's area of expertise. If at least one relevant entry is present, it'll pull from the whole Journal as the story unfolds, which is the entire point!
There are plenty of free tokens, so it shouldn't be an issue to simply add a few more characters! Any more than 3-4, and I'd recommend swapping out existing characters. You want to leave room for plenty of Journal entries, after all, and you can always swap them back in as needed.
The Journal
The Journal allows for long-term questing, developing relationships with characters, and actual plot progression. There are two ways to keep your journal updated.
-Manually. Duh. Treat it as you would a real journal, and write entries in natural language.
-Automatically. Type "Update Journal" and it SHOULD give you a fully formatted journal that you can copy/paste over your exising journal entirely. In practice, it can take a couple refreshes. If it's not behaving after 5 tries, lower heat and presence penalty.
I worked hard to get the token count as low as possible, so you can add a ton of info here. Go wild!
If all goes as planned, this is what it should look like:
The USS Galaxy
Expansion Content
Each Character in USS Galaxy is comprised of two pieces:
- The data in the card's Description field. This is formatted as:
Name[
Race Class
1-2 Clothing Tags
3-4 Physical Description tags
6-8 Personality tags, with the most influential up front and at least one "negative" trait.
As many special characteristics as needed, separated by newlines
Secret personal quest hook
]
- The Introduction in the First Message.
These are shorter than Yes, My Liege, but no less important. The introduction should contain a description of their position or duties, so that they can chime in at the appropriate times. A bit of characterization rounds it out.
