Friendship Rating

Introduction
This the friendship level guide for the Edge of Perspective RP.

This should help clarify what the friendship levels on character pages mean, and how that translates to the character in the RP. These are guidelines, though, and nothing more - a character's mood can vary wildly, for any number of reasons. Their friendship rating could be very fickle, and is meant only to give the reader a general expectation of the character's friendliness. Characters are also likely to be friendlier to their own species (as in, youkai to youkai or human to human), and less friendly to others.

Nonexistant
No chance. Not happening. Nope. Nuh-uh.

You have a better chance of winning an arm wrestling match against an oni, or attacking both the Fundamental Youkai at once and making it out alive. Don't even try. These characters are going to be hostile, rude, demeaning, and a whole bunch of other bad adjectives towards you. They'll probably attack you at the first chance they get.

Very Low
Very unfriendly, and probably outright hostile.

These characters are not your friend, and would probably attack you rather than talk. They are likely to be highly unsocial for whatever reason (insanity, being a bloodthirsty youkai, just plain disliking everyone else, etcetera), and if they don't outright attack you, they want you to go away as soon as possible.

Low
Difficult to be around.

Characters with a low friendship rating probably don't enjoy your presence. They aren't going to be nice to you. They could warm up to you if you got to know them, but it's difficult to get to that point with them. They may or may not care for your feelings, and they could pick a fight if you get on their nerves.

Average
Could swing either way.

An average friendship rating usually means an interaction with the character in question will depend mostly upon your own behavior. The character will not be exceptionally nice or polite, nor will they be hostile or mean. It will be fairly easy to have a decent conversation with them if you're polite, but it's equally possible that they'll find you annoying. Be kind to them, and they'll probably be kind back. Be rude, and they'll be rude. Be average, and they'll... be average.

High
Personable and generally polite. Would prefer to like people, rather than hate them.

Characters with a high friendship rating are fairly easy to talk to. Unless you're openly hostile or attack them, they'll probably be glad to have a nice chat with you. They're relatively unlikely to start a fight, though that depends on the specific character. They're quite likely to be fun and pleasant to be around.

Very High
They don't get any friendlier.

These characters are your friend (probably). They're usually kind, well-mannered, and unlikely to get in a fight unless somebody else starts it. They'll probably help you with something if you ask nicely, and they'll probably trust you (at least somewhat) unless you give them a reason not to. (Keep in mind that they may or may not be forgiving or merciful, even if they're the nicest person around.)
