> Set up values like trust or health, pick who has them, and decide how every new story starts.

Status keeps a few values for your characters while someone plays, like how much they trust the player or how hurt they are. The AI changes a value only when a reply shows it happen, and the player sees a small marker in the story right there. Most replies change nothing. Status is optional, and a world without it plays exactly as before.

## Start from a set

A set adds its values in one tap. Relationship adds Trust and Sees you as. Condition adds fine, hurt or badly hurt. Status board adds Health, Energy and Level, for fantasy and action worlds. Case file adds Nerve, for mystery and horror. Tap a picked set again to take its values out.

## What can change

You can keep up to six values. Each shows as a short card with its kind and how it looks to players. Press Edit to change it, and Remove sits in the menu at the top. See each kind, next to Kind, shows what players see for each one.

- Name. **What players see on the card, like Trust.**
- Kind. **A number, a choice like fine, hurt, badly hurt, or a short line like how they see the player.**
- From, to and starts at. **For a number, its range and where every story begins.**
- Changes when. **Needed. The AI changes the value only when the story shows this happen, like goes up when the player keeps a promise, down when they lie.**
- Most it can move in one reply. **So one good deed never jumps Trust from 2 to 9.**
- Who has it. **Everyone, everyone but the player, or only the player.**

## Who has these values

Every character in your world has them, and the player's character too. To leave someone out, press Leave someone out and tap them. Tap again to bring them back.

## Starting values

Every character starts at the value's Starts at. To start one character differently, press Give one character a different start and pick them. Their Wiki page opens on Every new story. Change the value there. Every new story starts with it, and stories already running keep their own values.

Inside your own story, the character's card has the same two tabs. This story changes only that story. Every new story changes how new stories start, and Use this story's values copies what your story has now.

## Private worlds

Open your wiki and tap Status at the top. It is the same form as the Status step.

>
> Players never see your setup. They see their own values, on In this scene, on the character card, and on the Wiki page.
