# Overview
|
|
|
|
Relationships change through scenes. A conversation may deepen trust, expose betrayal, begin attraction, damage a friendship or shift a professional alliance. Recording those changes helps character arcs stay visible.
|
|
|
|
# Relationship Types
|
|
|
|
Types describe the shape of the bond: family, friendship, romance, rivalry, mentorship, professional, alliance or another story-specific connection.
|
|
|
|
# Reciprocity
|
|
|
|
Relationships can be mutual or one-sided. One character may love, trust, resent or mentor another without the feeling being returned. That asymmetry is often the story.
|
|
|
|
# Intensity
|
|
|
|
Intensity records relationship strength. A low-intensity rivalry might be irritation. A high-intensity rivalry might drive major choices. A romance can be quiet but intense, or public but shallow.
|
|
|
|
# Evolution
|
|
|
|
Use events when the relationship state changes in this scene. This helps you see whether a breakup has setup, whether forgiveness arrives too quickly, or whether a character behaves as if a relationship has changed before the scene that actually changes it.
