|
Thematic patterns (System A) define an NPC's narrative archetype — their
|
|
structural role in the story. Combined with functional motivations (System B)
|
|
to produce the full NPC generation model. Patterns are uppercase enum values
|
|
referenced by npc-profile.schema.json.
|
|
|
|
values:
|
|
- value: FRIEND

others. Referenced in dialogue, effects visible, person rarely seen.

existing equilibria. The new hire, the returning contact.

Deliberately flat. Social wallpaper with one memorable trait.

|
Part of the 30% truly flat population (D-029). Provides the noise
|
|
floor that makes investigation signal meaningful.
