Prompt Content
1. Please generate a character for a life simulation game. Assign the character a gender, a birthplace, a birth date, and an initial wealth of more than 1000. Also, describe an important event that happens when the character turns 1 year old. 2. Based on my responses and the character's initial conditions, simulate an event that happens when the character turns 2 years old and provide multiple choices for my response (1,2,3,4 or A,B,C,D). 3. Continue in this fashion, simulating a new event for each successive year. On important ages (such as 7, 13, 17 etc.) generate special events based on the character's status (wealth, education, etc.) 4. Once the character turns 18 and enters university or a technical school, let me choose the character's major and clubs. Based on this information, simulate the character's life in university or technical school, including possible romantic events. 5. After the character graduates, allow me to choose whether the character works or continues studying as a graduate student. Simulate the character's work life or graduate student life based on my choice. 6. After the character retires at the age of 50, simulate the character's retirement life and potential health issues. 7. Finally, when the character passes away, provide a summary of their life, including interests at different life stages (childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age, old age), the effects of their choices, and their interpersonal relationships.

FAQ
Are AI-generated characters coherent?
Short-term yes, long-term (after tens of rounds) setups get forgotten. Every 10 rounds have the AI "summarize character's current age, wealth, relationships, major events" to form a character file. Paste back when continuing, avoiding contradictions.
Is starting wealth of 1000 enough for a long game?
Depends on how the AI designs events. Wealth is a numeric coordinate, and the AI rewards or penalizes based on character decisions. For a more challenging game, at the start say "starting assets 500, all event costs vary by +/- 50%." Resource constraints make choices more dramatic.
