SkyrimNet Character Bio System

🔧 What Is It?

The SkyrimNet Bio System is a structured character profiling system for NPCs in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It enables rich, AI-readable and editable bios that describe an NPC’s:

• Personality
• Background
• Goals
• Relationships
• Behaviors

All bios are formatted in a consistent block-template system.

This system is ideal for:

• Deepening AI-driven interactions
• Providing behavioral context for decision-making
• Enabling memory formation, emotional tracking, and natural dialogue based on who the NPC is

📑 Section Breakdown

How It’s Used by SkyrimNet

The bio system is deeply integrated into SkyrimNet’s AI behavior engine:

• In-Game Contextual AI
  Bios inform how the AI reasons about characters, recalls memories, or speaks in conversations.

• Prompt Injections
  During an AI prompt, sections of the bio are inserted into the context to help the NPC behave in character.

• Memory Weighting
  personality, relationships, and aspirations influence what the NPC finds important or emotional.

🛠️ Updating Bios

Bios are updated dynamically using real-time game information.

Updates are driven by:

• User-written prompts
  e.g. "Abelone recently lost her brother in a bandit raid."

• Game state data
  e.g. level, location, faction rank

• Event streams
  e.g. witnessed a murder, survived a dragon attack

Only relevant sections are changed. SkyrimNet returns a structured response like this:

{
  "updated_content": "Full bio with updated blocks",
  "changes_summary": "Summary of the edits made"
}

📘 SkyrimNet Character Bio Generation Tutorial

This guide walks you through the process of searching for NPCs and generating (or editing) their AI-driven character bios using the SkyrimNet Web UI.

🔍 Step 1: Search for Nearby Characters

Navigate to the "Create New Character" section:

• Use the Search Radius dropdown (e.g., 1000 units) to define how far the system should search from the player or target location.
• Click Refresh to retrieve all characters within that area.

Characters will appear below once found. If a character already has a bio, it will show a yellow warning:

⚠️ Character bio already exists for this actor

🧠 Step 2: Provide Optional Generation Input

If the selected character has no bio, you can guide the AI generation using the Optional Generation Input field.

This is not required, but it helps personalize the bio beyond just raw game data.

You can enter:

• Backstory hints
• Personality traits
• Specific goals
• Cultural flavor
• Story relevance
