The Character & Setting Generator Specification (CSGS) is an open, AGPL-3.0+ licensed framework for creating realistic human characters and contemporary environments for narrative generation systems. The specification provides standardized methods for generating believable individuals with everyday professions, personal histories, emotional states, social relationships, and competing responsibilities. Rather than relying on archetypes, fantasy elements, or exaggerated personalities, CSGS emphasizes psychological consistency and social authenticity, enabling narrative systems to produce characters that reflect the complexities and imperfections of real life.
The specification also defines a comprehensive library of modern settings and mechanisms for simulating ethical tension and interpersonal conflict within those environments. Characters can be placed in homes, schools, workplaces, public institutions, and communities where conflicts emerge from realistic pressures such as family obligations, financial stress, loyalty, justice, and personal ambition. Designed for interoperability, reproducibility, and human oversight, CSGS serves as a foundational component for story generation engines, interactive fiction platforms, educational simulations, and social modeling systems that require grounded, believable narratives and environments.
