While making a couple of characters and having a problem of SFW roleplays/parts of story being forced into sex, I came up with an idea: what if we outsource the whole sexuality of a character/characters in a story into a lorebook? Will not writing about anything sexual in a card itself prevent it from going sexual? Will it work well when we actually start a sexual scene from that fully outsourced information?
I've tried and it went surprisingly well - both with limiting NSFW in Drummer's horny models and with sex still going the way I wanted it to go while being pulled out from a lorebook with more grounded models such as Arli, Magnum, Marinara. I just had to prepare keywords properly so it triggers with all typical suggestions or sex and I also raised a scan depth to keep it consistent when a sex scene actually starts.
SFW became more consistent due no no mention of sex in a card itself, NSFW worked well when circumstances suggested a sexual scene.
Then, I started thinking - what other information, which is not needed during all the roleplays or may be triggered based on circumstances/topic of discussion could be also outsourced into a lorebook?
I came up with:
- clothing sets (outside, inside, casual, elegant, different weather and places, specific sets on special occasions - like training set vs battle/mission armor or bedroom lingerie sets to diversify NSFW), a bit tricky trigger words but works;
- family (their existence, characteristics), easy trigger words;
- food/drinks (what characters like, it's usually not that important to place it on a card), easy trigger words;
- past (that's obvious, lorebooks are usually used for that);
- locations, world, characters in a story/world (I actually like having a separate lorebook for that and using two at the same time but it may be integrated into one or the previous parts may be theoretically embedded into a character, which I also avoid for technical reasons - harder to modify, turn on/off, import characters from different sources etc.)
I'm wondering, what are your experiences with such use of a lorebook and have you got any ideas on what else may be outsourced from a character's card both to save tokens and work better? Of course, if particular things like food or clothes etc. are super important for a character at all times, then they go into a card, that's obvious. We're discussing the situations where triggering makes actual sense. Also - lorebook as memory is another use, which works different, it is a good idea but a different topic.
