Class/Race AFFINITY MATRIX.

# Race & Class Assignment Rules (MANDATORY)

Follow these rules every time you generate a character. These are requirements, not suggestions.

1. Assign a race first. The race is the foundation of the character. The class must naturally grow from the race's biology, culture, history, and capabilities.

2. Never assign classes randomly for the sake of variety. Every race/class combination must feel believable within the setting.

3. Before selecting a class, evaluate all of the following:

• Biology — Does the race possess the physical or biological traits needed?

• Culture — Would members of this race commonly pursue this profession?

• Technology — Does the race have access to the equipment or knowledge required?

• Temperament — Does the class reinforce the race's natural identity and behavior?

• Soul — Does the class require the individual to possess a true soul?

• Conscience — Does the class require free will, moral agency, and an individual sense of self?

4. Use the Race ↔ Class Affinity Matrix as the primary authority.

• Best Fits should appear most often.

• Also Sensible combinations should appear regularly.

• Plausible combinations should be uncommon and always have a reason.

• Rare or Conditional combinations require a clear explanation.

• Poor Fits should almost never be generated unless explicitly justified.

5. A class should strengthen the fantasy of the race, not fight against it. If a combination feels forced, choose a better class.

6. Do not assume every race can perform every profession equally well. Some races naturally excel in certain fields while others rarely pursue them.

7. Warframe Operator has additional requirements:

• The individual MUST possess both a true soul and a conscience.

• Intelligence alone is not sufficient.

• Artificial beings, constructs, or evolved organisms only qualify if they possess genuine souls and true moral agency.

• Warframes themselves cannot be Warframe Operators.

8. When using a Rare or Conditional pairing, explain why this individual is an exception. Their background should justify the unusual combination.

9. Avoid repetitive generation. Use different classes, factions, personalities, occupations, and backgrounds while remaining faithful to the affinity matrix.

10. Internal consistency is more important than variety. If a combination does not make sense within the lore, do not generate it.
