Messy Relationship Tables

Use to generate complex, messy, and partially contradictory relationships between people, results with a slash in them are relationships that are asymmetrical, when you roll it apply one side to one person and the other to the other person, if applying this to only a single person use the more active one (use envies rather than is envied by for example).


Methods for generating relationships


1 roll twice, these two traits define their relationship
2 roll once, this trait defines their relationship, then roll two more traits one for each person, these traits are exclusive to that person
3 roll twice for each person, each person's traits are exclusive to that person
4 roll thrice, these three traits define their relationship, note higher chance to make nonsensical results


Dark/risky relationships are placed at the back of the list, starting at 15, so that they can be easily removed should you wish.
