Alignment
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 | Personality Score |
---|---|
Kind (Nice) | 33 or less |
Mischievous | greater than 33 and 66 or less |
Hard (Mean) | greater than 66 |
Manipulation
It is possible to run into events or make choices that will dynamically change Steele's personality score:
Note: The values indicated with a "+" will mean the personality change will go towards Hard, "-" will go towards Kind, and "±" will go towards Mischievous. The Mischievous personality changes will alter between + and - depending on how close the personality score is to 50.

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). If either "Female" or "Male" is chosen, the stat screen will display this set Gender Preference between Steele's Sex and Gender Appearance Rating.
Selecting Auto will revert the changes back to automatic gender alignment, and the term Gender Preference will be replaced by Gender Alignment.
Details
Steele's automatic "Gender Alignment" (Male, Female, "Androgynous, Male Pronouns," or "Androgynous, Female Pronouns") is determined by the "Gender Appearance Rating" stat.
The first number that affects the Gender Appearance Rating is the Femininity score, a value ranging from -100 to 100 that can be determined by the displayed femininity score: the "Femininity/Masculinity" percentage that's displayed on the stat screen. Whether the stat screen uses the term "Femininity" or "Masculinity" is determined by whether the number is above zero (and thus feminine) or below zero (and thus masculine). For example, a femininity score of 60 would display on the stat screen as "Femininity: 60%," while a femininity score of -25 would display on the stat screen as "Masculinity: 25%".
This "displayed" femininity score is based on a "true" femininity score that isn't displayed on the stat screen, but that's used when calculating the Gender Appearance Rating. Rather than running from -100 to 100, the true femininity score goes from 0 (masculine) to 100 (feminine). To determine this value, it is: (100 + displayed femininity score) / 2. Ex: "Femininity: 50%" would have a true femininity score of (100 + 50) / 2 = 75. (Note: if the stat screen says "Masculinity:" instead of "Femininity:" the displayed percentage has to be subtracted instead of added due to the fact that masculine values range from -1 to -100. Ex: "Masculinity: 80%" would have a true femininity score of (100 - 80) / 2 = 10.)
The true femininity score is weighted against Steele's anatomy (but not genitalia) before the proper gender is determined:
Conditions | Weighting |
---|---|
|
= (true femininity score) |
|
+50 |
|
+(largest breast size rating * 3) |
|
-10 |
|
+(hip size rating * 1.5) |
|
-(6 - hip size rating * 3) |
|
+(hair length - 7)*1.5 |
|
-(8 - hair length)*1.5 |
|
-10 |
|
+10 |
|
+(lip size rating * 3) |
|
-100 |
The final gender alignment ranks up as follows:
Gender Alignment | Gender Appearance Rating score | |
---|---|---|
with neutral | male/female | |
Male | less than 45 | at 49 or less |
Androgynous, Male Pronouns | between 45 and 49 | |
Androgynous, Female Pronouns | between 49 and 55 | |
Female | greater than 55 | greater than 49 |
Sex
In addition to the gender alignment mechanics, 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
- Steele is masculine, has at least one penis and at least one vagina.
