角色

   角色是指游戏中的任何人，包括历史的或游戏中产生的。每一个角色都是一个独立的、活生生的个体，他将单独行动，并有可能改变历史。人物可以是贵族，出身卑微，有领地，也可以是无领地的。

• “贵族”是一个宗族的成员。

• “出身卑微”的角色不是一个宗族的成员。如果他们被授予共和国或神权政体的头衔，他们将保持低出生状态。如果他们被赋予其他类型的头衔，他们将变成贵族，建立一个宗族。

• “有领地”角色至少有一个地产。

• “无领地”角色没有任何地产。

年龄

一个角色如果低于16岁则被视为一个孩子，一旦他们到达16岁就成为成年人。一个角色在到达60岁之后会因为年老而死亡。每一个开始的角色将会基于他们的年龄有一定数量的生活方式点数已解锁。

直辖领地

直辖领地是统治者个人拥有的所有地产的集合。每一个统治者都有一个“直辖上限”，它决定了角色可以拥有多少块正常提供税收与征召的地产。一旦达到直辖上限，新直辖将不提供任何税收和征召。

性取向

一个角色的性取向决定了他们对哪个性别的角色会获得吸引力好感修正，并能与之形成恋人关系。当角色在10岁左右时决定，其后不能改变。AI角色永远不会试图和与他们的性取向不符的角色建立恋爱关系。性取向的初始分布和儿童获得某种性取向的机会都是由性分布博弈规则决定的。

如果孩子是由玩家扮演的，玩家有20%的机会选择性别偏好。 If the child is played by a player there is a 20% chance that the player will get to pick the gender preference.

Male icon	Female icon	Preference	Effects
		Heterosexual	Can only form Lover relations with and have Attraction Opinion towards characters of the opposite gender
		Homosexual	Can only form Lover relations with and have Attraction Opinion towards characters of the same gender
		Bisexual	Can form Lover relations with and have Attraction Opinion towards any character
		Asexual	Cannot form Lover relations or have Attraction Opinion towards any character

好感度

每个角色对其他角色都有自己的好感。角色对玩家角色的好感会影响针对他的某些行动的成功率。AI角色的好感也决定了他们对其他角色的行为。

如果一个角色死了，他们的主要继承人将暂时继承25%的正面好感修正和50%的负面好感修正。

吸引

吸引力是一种好感修正，只会对符合该角色性取向的人物产生作用。65岁以上的男性角色和50岁以上的女性角色不受吸引力的影响。

关系

当满足某些要求时，两个角色可以形成三类关系类型中的一种，每类关系又有三个级别。关系对两个角色如何互相影响有很大的影响。

• 童年关系只能存在于两个儿童角色之间，并可能在角色成年后演变为相应的普通关系

• 普通关系可能会因事件而增进或者减弱
