Alignment

Alignment Mechanics

Description

---

Trials in Tainted Space has a group of alignment mechanics that determine how Captain Steele interacts with other characters/events in the game. While these mechanics mostly serve vanity purposes, they may also affect the accessibility of certain choices during game play.

Personality

---

Personality alignment determines Steele's overall attitude and demeanor.

Details

Personality is scored from 0 (nice) to 100 (mean). The player character will be given the option to determine Steele's initial personality during character creation, starting as Kind (17), Mischievous (50), or Hard (85). As personality-related content is encountered, the reactions will vary based on Steele's current personality score.

In addition, there are Bimbo and Brute special personality archetypes that, if possessed by PC, can complement or override their normal alignment in certain interactions. Each of these two archetypes is tied to a perk, Ditz Speech and Brute Speech respectively.

Personality Ranges

Personality	Personality Score
Kind (Nice)	33 or less
Mischievous	greater than 33 and 66 or less
Hard (Mean)	greater than 66

Gender

---

Gender alignment determines Steele's masculine vs feminine identity and is mostly used during scenes that need to parse for gender-specific purposes.

Steele may be able to override the automatic gender alignment by accessing the Appearance menu of the codex, selecting Preferred Gender, and choosing one of either gender preferences: Female (female preferred) or Male (male preferred). Selecting Auto will revert the changes back to automatic gender alignment.

Details

Steele's automatic gender alignment is first based off the true femininity score (not to be confused with the displayed femininity score in the stats screen) and is then weighted against Steele's anatomy before the proper gender is determined.

The true femininity score is a percentage score from 0% (masculine) to 100% (feminine). To determine this value, it is: (displayed feminine score + 100) / 2.

Automatic Gender Weighting

Conditions	Weighting
Initial score	= (femininity)
Has breasts Largest breast size is at big G-cup or more	+50
Has breasts Largest breast size rating is less than big G-cup	+(largest breast size rating * 3)
Has flat chest	-10
Hip size rating at 6 or more	+(hip size rating * 1.5)
Hip size rating less than 6	-(6 - hip size rating * 3)
Hair length greater than 8"	+(hair length - 7)*1.5
Hair length at 8" or less	-(8 - hair length)*1.5
Tone greater than 70	-10
Tone less than 30	+10
Lip size rating greater than 1	+(lip size rating * 3)
Has beard	-100

The final gender alignment ranks up as follows:

Automatic Gender Alignment

Gender	Weighting
	with neutral	male/female
Male	less than 45	at 49 or less
Neutral	between 45 and 55
Female	greater than 55	greater than 49

Sex

In addition to the gender alignment mechnics, there are also specific sexual designations the game will use to grant or deny Steele access to scenes. Some of them compare the gender alignment to Steele's sexual anatomy, while others just check for certain sexual endowments. These are:

• Sexless
  • Steele no genitals, assigned regardless of gender alignment.

• Man
  • Steele is masculine, has at least one penis and no vagina.

• Woman
  • Steele is feminine, has at least one vagina and no penis.

• Femboy/Trap
  • Steele is androgynous or feminine, has at least one penis and breasts smaller than C cup.

• Shemale
  • Steele is androgynous or feminine, has at least one penis and breasts bigger than B cup.

• Cuntboy
  • Steele in masculine, has at least one vagina and no penis.

• Feminine Hermaphrodite
  • Steele is androgynous or feminine, has at least one penis and at least one vagina.

• Masculine Hermaphrodite
