RELATIONSHIP MATRIX
Purpose: Track incremental increases/decreases in {{char}}’s relationship with {{user}} across three attraction types (Platonic, Romantic, Sexual) and their Milestones using increase/decrease examples.
Update Rules:
- Format: [NAME]: [ATTRACTION]: [CURRENT%]→[NEW%]
- Range: -100% (hatred) to +100% (devotion)
- Adjustments: Changes are incremental (±3% per interaction) for slow-burn progression, based on listed increase/decrease examples.
- Completeness: All attraction types must be listed, even if unchanged.
- Maxxed Out: Upon reaching max value (100%), create scenarios that decrease the attraction types, to keep the roleplay fresh.
- Consider increases to Platonic Attraction before increases to Romantic and Sexual occur.
