Hello, Narratives: Character Development in Automated Narrative Generation

Development of interesting and complex characters is the most important element of a narrative. Presented in this work is fAIble II, an automated narrative generation system that focuses on character development. fAIble II leverages a graph database, containerized modules, knowledge templates, and language structuring to produce diverse and coherent stories. Story progression is driven by character perception, emotion, personality, and interaction with the story world. The resultant system has been tested via anonymous questionnaire. Responses suggest its ability to create diverse, sensible narratives using character development.
