[REBUILT] EMERGENCE OS 1 β€” Independent NPCs, Trust & Grudges, and Auto

[REBUILT] EMERGENCE OS 1 β€” Independent NPCs, Trust & Grudges, and Auto-Updating Location Cards EMERGENCE OS turns AI Dungeon's NPCs into independent characters with their own trust, grudges, fears, and secret agendas β€” not mind-controlled puppets waiting for you to lead every scene. 🧠 NPCs push back. Demand something without leverage and they'll resist, doubt you, or walk away. AutonomyLevel (Low/Medium/High/Unchained) tunes exactly how hard. Each NPC also carries a cognitive bias (Paranoid, Deflective, Prideful, Impulsive, Skeptical) that colors how they read your actions. 🩸 Trust & Grudge persist. Betray someone and they won't forget it in three turns β€” expect coldness, passive-aggression, or open hostility that lingers. ConsequenceSeverity (Mild/Moderate/Hardcore) controls how hard it lands. 🎭 Realistic psychology. NPCs shift through real threat states (Composed/Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn), and when worn down past a breaking point their social filter collapses β€” panic, blurted secrets, self-preservation. The model is prompted to weave in physical micro-tells: clenched jaws, avoided eye contact, shallow breathing. πŸ’ž Romance Engine. Attraction builds into real relationship stages β€” Platonic, Interested, Flirtatious, Romantic, In Love β€” not a hidden number. RomancePacing (Fast/Normal/Slow Burn) controls how fast feelings develop, and every stage shift gives the AI a one-time nudge to let it show naturally instead of stating it outright. Jealousy is grounded in a real tracked Life Thread, not an invisible stat bump, so it actually plays out. Check standing anytime with /romance. πŸ•ΈοΈ Life Threads. NPCs develop pressure toward EACH OTHER, not just you β€” jealousy, rivalry, attraction, betrayal β€” entirely on their own, with configurable scene relevance and optional relationship steering. The AI can quietly log exactly what happened between them. πŸ’­ Thought Journals (optional, off by default). NPCs occasionally form one private first-person thought about the moment, saved to their own card for you to read back on later. Never shown in the story, never fed back to the AI. πŸ’₯ Dynamic world tension & player trauma. Gunfire and chaos scale a 0–100% tension meter that pushes NPCs into panic or lockdown. High player stress injects real sensory distortion into the prose. πŸ—ΊοΈ Smart multi-location tracking. Every place you've been gets its own Story Card that updates independently when it's damaged, repaired, or locked down β€” burn down the warehouse and the tavern down the street stays untouched. Clause-aware detection keeps "the warehouse is destroyed, but the tavern's fine" from blending the two together. 🎬 AI-written character sheets. /card a character and the AI fills in their profile itself β€” accurately if they're an existing character, invented but fitting if they're original. βš”οΈ Auto-genre detection adapts vocabulary and danger level to your setting. Full toggles for 18+ content, unfiltered violence, and explicit romance. 🧹 Cleaner name detection. Ordinary sentence-starting words no longer get mistaken for characters, and your own setting's city or kingdom name won't get mistaken for an NPC either. Zero setup required: the first action auto-creates a Master World Config Story Card with every single setting explained in its notes. You can also manually list your characters' first names right there to integrate them with the script immediately, instead of waiting on auto-detection. In-game commands (type directly as an action, never wastes a story turn): /npc [name] β€” full dossier: stats, threat state, bias, active Life Thread, memories /npcs β€” list every known NPC /threads β€” active Life Threads & recent gossip /romance [name] β€” romantic standing for one character, or everyone /thoughts [name] β€” read a character's private thought journal /relationships β€” view your pressure-steering rules /card [name] β€” generate a character sheet (AI fills it in) /loc [name] β€” set your current location & generate its card /settings β€” full settings guide /cleanup β€” purge false-positive NPCs /forget [name] β€” manually remove one NPC and its cards /world β€” current location, tension %, player stress /help β€” command list Setup: paste each script into its matching tab (Library / Input / Context / Output) in the AI Dungeon Scenario Script Editor. Take one action and you'll see "EMERGENCE OS 1: Active" confirm while your config card builds in the background.
