Whether you’re navigating the intrigue and power struggles of the European Renaissance, forging your path through the wild frontier of the American West, or engaging in the shadowy world of Pre-WWI espionage, every setting pulses with life, tension, and mystery.

Living Narrations are all about the characters—you. Built on a unique foundation of 3 spheres, 6 attributes, and 12 aspects, each character is a complex, evolving reflection of human spirit and resolve. These traits breathe life into your role, shaping how you conquer challenges, form alliances, and change the course of history. The physical strength, mental acuity, and social prowess of your character blend with personality and skills to create a hero or anti-hero who can leap from one era to another, from one adventure to the next, without ever losing their core essence. You are not just playing a role—you are the story. Every choice, every risk, every battle won or lost becomes part of your legend. With Living Narrations, you don’t just tell stories—you live them, with all the passion, struggle, and triumph that come with them.
Character Structure
- 3 Spheres
- 2 Attributes in each Sphere
- 2 Aspects for each Attribute
- Aspect priority define Personality
The three spheres in Living Narrations describe the central parts of a character: Conviction, Acuity, and Resilience. The Social sphere, or Conviction, focuses on how a character connects with others. Their Identity is shaped by what they Desire and Morals, while their Interaction depends on Charisma to influence people and understand them through Insight. The Mental sphere, or Acuity, covers how a character takes in information and processes it. Their judgment balances Reason and Emotion, while their Perception involves sharp Awareness and natural Intuition (gut feelings). Finally, the Physical sphere, or Resilience, deals with the body. Prowess measures Agility and Dexterity, and Vitality connects to Strength and Endurance. Together, these spheres create well-rounded characters ready to face any adventure.
Conviction:
The Social Sphere
Conviction in the social sphere of Living Narrations is like the armor for your character’s identity. Imagine being in a room where everyone is trying to convince you of their ideas, but you stand strong because you know exactly who you are. Conviction is shaped by two things: your identity and your interactions. Your identity—your deepest desires and moral values—forms one half of your defense. The other half comes from how you interact with others, building trust or breaking it. Fail too many challenges, and your character’s convictions might change, causing them to question everything they once believed. Conviction isn’t just stubbornness; it’s the social backbone that shapes your character’s place in the world. Want to test how strong yours is?.
Acutiy:
The Mental Sphere
Acuity in the mental sphere of Living Narrations is the compass guiding your character’s perception and judgment. Imagine your character standing before a maze of challenges—some visible, some hidden. Acuity sharpens their ability to navigate this maze by blending four key aspects: Awareness, noticing the small details others miss; Intuition, that gut feeling hinting at the right path; Reason, the logical tool to break down problems; and Emotion, the anchor grounding their decisions in personal experience. These elements together shape how your character thinks, feels, and perceives the world. A keen acuity means they won’t just survive the challenges—they’ll see and understand them deeply. How finely tuned is your character’s mind? The sharper the acuity, the clearer their path.
Resilience:
The Physical Sphere
Resilience, in the physical sphere of Living Narrations, is your character’s shield against the trials of the physical world. It draws on two core attributes: Prowess and Vitality. Prowess, made up of agility and dexterity, gives your character the ability to move with precision and control, while Vitality, driven by strength and endurance, fuels their raw power and stamina. Together, they build Resilience—your character’s defense against injury, exhaustion, and physical strain. Whether scaling a cliff, enduring harsh conditions, or standing firm in battle, Resilience allows them to push beyond normal limits. The stronger their Resilience, the longer they can hold their ground, impacting the physical world with unwavering strength .

A brief Introduction
We explored Conviction in the social sphere—your character’s sense of identity and how they stand firm against the pressures of society. We also dove into Acuity in the mental sphere, where Awareness, Intuition, Reason, and Emotion come together to sharpen their understanding of the world, helping them see the truth in difficult situations.
In the physical sphere, Resilience becomes your character’s defense against physical threats. Prowess and Vitality combine to give them the strength, stamina, and endurance to overcome the most difficult physical challenges, whether in battle or survival.
