Relationship is an aspect of character that spects need to understand in order to play with assurance. It can be implied through oblique offers, but should also be clarified explicitly to avoid ambiguity.

When establishing relationships on the fly, here are some tools to make it easier.

7 relationships – Identify a relationship from one of these seven categories: family, friend, enemy, subordinate, peer, superior, professional.

People you know – Endow the spect with a relationship that mirrors one you have in real life.

First impression – Base the relationship on your first impression of the spect.

Be aware of spects’ responses when you endow romantic relationships. If there’s resistance, you may need to modify the endowment.
