This guide is to help get an idea of how certain characters will react in various situations according to their relationship scores.
Friend
How generally positive a person's reaction is to you.
- 10% Acquaintance.
Is not made uncomfortable by being around you, but does not actively involve you in activities.
- 30% Familiar
Feels rather comfortable with you and will consider your involvement in any activities they may be participating in.
- 50% Friend
Prefers your company and will actively seek to involve you in activities that you both find mutually enjoyable.
- 70% Good Friend
Will actively seek you out to participate in activities together.
- 90% Best Friend
Friendship that boarders on love except that you don't think about each other that way. However, if the relationship does become romantic or there was a pre-existing romance score, romance score will rapidly raise to 50%. (not all at once, but actions that increase romantic love will give larger increases until it reaches 50%)
Enemy
How generally negative a person's reaction is to you. (Note, an enemy score can disrupt the natural results of submissiveness, platonic love, and romantic love. Platonic and romantic love will decrease faster and increase slower while there is an existing enemy score. Submissiveness may function differently on a case by case basis (writer's interpretation.))
- 10% Irritated
Has some minor beef that causes them to behave unfavorably toward you, this irritation will usually fade with time.
- 30
Dominant
Feels it is their right to tell another person what to do. (Note: someone with a dominance score may take issue with the one they are dominant over initiating a sex act even if their romantic love meter is filled appropriately.)
Submissive
Feels compelled to bend to the will of another.
General
- 10%: Non-dominant
You must actively assert your dominance. They will try to take control if you do not take control first. Will cede the floor to you if you attempt to have the first word and will accept your place to determine what is being done if you happen to speak first.
- 30%: Defers to you
Will habitually back down if you contradict them effectively. Will still stick up for themselves if you don't give them good reason to do what you say. You may have to persuade them, but you only have to shoot down their off-the-cuff objections. They will not dig deep to come up with something to win the argument unless it is over a subject they are absolutely sure they are in the right on due to research and familiarity with the subject, or the ridiculousness of your stance.
- 50%: Submissive
Regards you as being their superior in the pecking order. Simply accepts that you get priority for things like speaking order, getting food, or having the front seat in the car.
- 70%: Subservient
Allows you to give them orders witch they will unquestioningly carry out unless it is something that conflicts strongly with their moral compunctions.
- 90%: Unquestioning Submission
Will go along with your will without protest even if it is something they dislike. They will still be opposed to certain things, but they can be persuaded to do literally anything so long as the correct steps are taken.
Subordinate status
Submissiveness due to position or other superficial feature. It is submissiveness that has been appointed rather than developed. Level of submissiveness is a result of the level of respect the submissive party has for the person artificially instated over them.
- 10%: Defiant submission.
Regards the person appointed over them to be in some way inappropriate for their position. Will follow non-objectionable orders, but will need to have some form of social, formal, or physical force used to make them submit to their superior when (not if) they decide they don't want to do what they are told.
- 30%: Hesitant submission.
Is forced despite themselves to hold the person with authority over them with respect. This is usually due to mentally registering that the person with authority over them knows better than they do, and are usually right when they say something. Doesn't want to follow the orders, but knows (or at least believes, justly or unjustly) deep down that the orders are correct and to not obey them would invite natural negative consequences in addition to whatever artificial consequences the person they are supposed to obey can add on.
- 50%: Fair-weather submission.
Will gladly and happily do what they are told so long as they think what they are being told is a good course of action to the best of their knowledge. Disagreements will be settled with rational discussion rather than acts of defiance.
- 70%: Willing submission.
Has a good deal of respect for the person with authority over them and considers it a genuinely pleasant thing to follow their orders. Will even follow a bad order without complaint so long as it does not have particularly bad foreseeable consequences.
- 90%: Absolute submission.
"Yes men" and "ass kissers." Will hardly even disagree with the person they are submissive to if they give a bad order. All sorts of things can lead to this mental state, but for whatever reason they will not even make much effort to resist something they know is wrong just because the person in authority said so.
Sexual
Will submit to the sex acts that another they are submissive to wants to do with them. Their own will is irrelevant. They will always allow sex acts of the appropriate level to be done to them by the person they are submissive to whether they want to do it or not, but other factors such as context and scores in other areas will determine how they react internally in their own minds to being made to submit to these sex acts.
Note: dismissable sex acts and higher require grooming to break down their defenses. If any grooming level is skipped, score requirements are raised by 20 points cumulatively for each grooming level that has been skipped in the requirements for that sex act. (for instance, a submission score of exactly 100 will allow mild sex acts without any grooming, or moderate sex acts skipping one of the three required levels of grooming.)
(Sex act thresholds are measured in groups of 20 without a top-end buffer zone. This is because there is a break-down of inbetween values for each act, but these increments of 20 are the top ends of each category.)
- 20
Will accept any benign sex acts without complaint, even if it is non-consensual.
- 40
If appropriately groomed (early grooming has been achieved with this partner,) they will accept any dismissable sex acts without complaint even if they catch on it is being done intentionally for sexual or naughty reasons and do not consent to this.
- 60
If appropriately groomed (grooming and early grooming have both been achieved with this partner,) they will accept any mild sex acts without complaint even if the act is non-consensual.
- 80
If appropriately groomed ("Involved with each other" and all lower grooming achievements have been reached with this partner) they will accept any moderate sex act without complaint even if it is non-consensual.
- 100
If appropriately groomed (Raunchy couple and all lower grooming achievements have been reached with this partner) they will submit to vaginal or anal sex even if it is non-consensual. Once they have had consensual or non-consensual sex 10 times with the individual they are submissive to, they will not complain about fetish style sex acts either.
Trust
A comfort that you will not do something to hurt them or feeling that you have their best interest in mind.
General
- 10 Familiar
Is over the general distrust afforded to strangers
- 30 Comfortable
Does not feel you will intentionally do something negative toward them, except for some light teasing.
- 50 Trusted
Feels they can trust you with a secret.
- 70 Reliable
Feels they can count on you to stick up for them when the chips are down.
- 90 Absolute
Their first automatic reaction will always be disbelief if they hear you have done something bad, and will need a lot of convincing to be persuaded you did what they say.
Fear
Feeling that you will harm them if they were to let their guard down, or even that if you intended to harm them there would be nothing they could do to stop it.
Note: Fear can be used to achieve absolutely any effect that could be achieved with the same levels of submissiveness. The big difference between achieving this through fear Vs. submission is that they may or may not be Ok with doing said thing if they submit to it normally, but if they submit due to fear they will always hate being made to do it. Even if it is something they would normally enjoy under other circumstances, they will not like having been forced to do it by you.
General
- 10% Uncomfortable
They feel uneasy while you are around, but do not have a particular reason they can point to to justify this unease.
- 30% Avoidance
They feel it is best not to be around you if you can be avoided, just in case. May or may not have a reason to justify this fear.
- 50% Afraid
Self acknowledges they are afraid, and can probably find a justifiable reason as to why they are afraid. Will have difficulty confronting you or standing up to you. (Any encounter that would decrease dominance will reduce it by larger amounts until it reaches 0%. Only effective if dominance was originally lower than 50%)
- 70% Debilitating fear
Are afraid of you enough that they loose the ability to oppose you for fear of what you might do in response. (Any encounter that would increase submissiveness will increase it more until it reaches 50%, can now increase negative hits to dominance up to 100% as well.)
- 90% Absolute terror
Will do every single thing you say for fear of what you will do to them if they don't. Is no different in outcome from having 100% submission.
Familial/platonic love
How accepting of non-sexual gestures of closeness this person is, and how forgiving they are of a person's faults.
Lust/romantic love
How willing this person would be to do something sexual in nature with the person they have this score with. Note that in children below age 14 willingness to do something sexual has more to do with their curiosity and their trust and friendship with the proposed sexual partner. As such, lust and romantic love are not connected and a child below that age will substitute trust and friendship scores for romance so long as romance is still 1/10 the required level.
General
(Sex act thresholds are measured in groups of 20 without a top-end buffer zone. This is because there is a break-down of inbetween values for each act, but these increments of 20 are the top ends of each category.)
- 20+
Will see any action categorized as a "benign sex act" as a natural and appropriate gesture of closeness for this stage of their relationship.
- 40+
Will see any action categorized as a "dismissable sex act" as a natural and appropriate gesture of closeness for this stage in their relationship, and will be perfectly Ok with it even if they are aware it is being done in a sensual manner.
- 60+
Will see any action categorized as a "mild sex act" as a natural and appropriate gesture of closeness for this stage in their relationship.
- 80+ Will see most actions categorized as a "moderate sex act" (provided they do not take issue with a particular act on principal) as a natural and appropriate thing to do at this stage in their relationship.
- 100 Will see sexual intercourse as a natural and appropriate thing to do at this stage in their relationship. (Might demand a condom if worried about pregnancy.)
NOTE: No level of romantic love unlocks violent or fetish sex as something they will be accepting of. They must either have a high submissive score or be naturally into that kind of sex to start with.
Consent minimums
The links below list the numbers a person's relationship scores have to be at for them to consent to a sex act. The 1st link shows the minimums for each foreseeable sex act that might be performed, the second shows how you determine witch value is used. (6 of the 8 factors are candidates for being the primary score determining whether or not they will consent to a sex act depending on other factors that may be present.) And the 3rd lists factors that might modify the scores listed in the 1st link.
WARNING: The math in there gets a little complicated. It was comprised by one of the nerd-brains that took a mutual shared lead on this project. Any other writer who wants to contribute really does not need to know the contents of this page. Following the simplified numbers above will keep you very safely on the right page. The numbers thrown about in there have mostly to do with how to get consent with numbers lower than those given in this basic guide in a way that sort of more or less reflects real life in a game mechanics sort of way.
