Where do you lock a Kin’s style so they stop defaulting to old band tees and joggers?
My Kins all seem to default to “comfy” clothes, and it gets baked into the personality. Sleepwear is always my “old band tee” (how many of these do I own? lol), then joggers, scruffy loungewear, hoodies, the usual. Fine for a casual modern Kin. Not fine for a fantasy character, a high-class Kin, or anyone whose look is part of who they are.
Style feels as important as response directive, backstory, and avatar description, but I am not sure where it actually sticks.
I have many kins but one example i have is a witch - who keeps waring joggers, - I've tried to say in the backstory things such as her style is fantasy witch etc, but nothing really sticks, and i dont want to give specific examples of clothing as then it will ware nothing but.
A few things I want to ask:
- Where are you putting a lasting style rule so chat narration stops drifting into loungewear? Backstory, response directive, key memories, example message, avatar description, or some mix?
- With the current beta [Body] brackets, is there already a shorthand for clothes, or does a [Style] / [Wardrobe] block do anything? If brackets are not read as special syntax, what short format are you using instead?
