Interactions between characters

Interactions mode uses your selected character, group , or smart group to show you the relevant interactions. Interactions are composed of three
things:

How they Clash
How they Mesh
How they Change

There are 32 Archetypes. Each archetype can interact with any of the other archetypes including a character of it's same archetype; thus, there
are 32 interactions per archetype. That is 1024 interactions! With well over 3072 paragraphs of text about their interactions. Obviously, this is a
big part of Persona. Classify a character archetype, see how your cast might interact, all before doing your writing.

When you select a character, you see the interactions between that character and the other characters.

When you select a group, you see the interactions between the members of the group.

When you select a SmartGroup, you see the interactions between the members of the SmartGroup.

Here is a sample interaction:
