人物

CK3の紹介 #01 - キャラクター。この最初のビデオではOne Proud Bavarianが私達にプレイキャラクターのギャラリーと彼らが何からできているのかを理解するのを手伝ってくれます！

キャラクターとは、Crusader Kings IIIで個人として表現されている、史実の人物または新規に生成された人物を指します。すべてのキャラクターは、個々に行動し、歴史を変える可能性を持つ、個人の生きた存在です。キャラクターには貴族も庶民もいますし、所領有りの人も無しの人もいます。

• 貴族キャラクターは特定の王朝のメンバーです。
• 庶民キャラクターは特定の王朝の一員ではありません。もし彼らが共和国や神権政治の称号を得たなら、庶民のままになります。他の称号を与えられると、彼らは貴族になり、彼らの王朝がはじまります。
• 所領有りのキャラクターは最低１つのホールディングスを所有します。
• 所領無しのキャラクターは１つもホールディングスを持っていません。

Appearance

Characters are depicted using a 3D portrait system. Every character's physical appearance is internally determined by a DNA system, which defines how they look: facial features, skin pigmentation, height, and hair color are all stored as DNA. This DNA is dynamically generated for courtiers, and can be directly edited with the Ruler Designer. DNA is stored as dominant and recessive genes and passed on to a character's children, affecting their appearance.

As Crusader Kings III covers a large portion of Eurasia and North Africa in its setting, characters can be from a diverse number of ethnicities: West/Central European, Northern European, Slavic, Arctic, Mediterranean, West African, East African, Arabic, Asian, North Indian, or South Indian.

Their appearance is further determined by age, weight, and certain hereditary traits. Characters will age as years pass by, eventually growing old and withering away. Their appearance can also be adversely affected by illness or injury; battle wounds may scar their face, while disease can leave a ghastly impact on their visage.

Barbershop

Players can adjust the appearance of their ruler or ruler's family members via the Barbershop window. This allows hair and clothing to be changed, overriding the character's default appearance.

Sexual Orientation

A character's sexual orientation determines with which gender they will gain attraction opinion and can form lover relations. It is decided when the character is around 10 years old and cannot be changed. AI characters will never try to form a relation with characters that do not match their sexual orientation. Both the initial distribution of sexual orientation and the chance for children to gain a certain sexual orientation is determined by the sexuality distribution game rule.

If the child is played by a player, there is a 20% chance that the player will get to pick the gender preference.

Male icon	Female icon	Preference	Can form lover relations and have attraction opinion with
		Heterosexual	Characters of the opposite gender
		Homosexual	Characters of the same gender
		Bisexual	Everyone
		Asexual	No one

Opinion

Each character has an opinion of every other character. The  opinion the player character holds influences the success rate of certain actions that target another character while the  opinion of AI characters also determines their behavior towards other characters.

When a character dies, their primary heir will temporarily inherit part of the  opinion of vassals towards the late liege, shown as Opinion of Predecessor.

• Positive opinion towards predecessor: 25% of  opinion is inherited.
• Negative opinion towards predecessor: 50% of  opinion is inherited.

Attraction

Attraction is an  opinion modifier that can only be held towards characters one's sexual preference allows. Male characters aged above 65 years and female character above 50 years are not affected by attraction.

Relations

When certain requirements are met, two characters can have one of three types of relations, with each type having three levels. Relations have a great impact on how two characters act towards each other.

• Childhood relations can only be held between two child character and might evolve into their corresponding adulthood relations when the characters reach adulthood
• Adulthood relations can be gained and lost as a result of events
• Lifelong relations can only be obtained towards characters with an existing adulthood relation and each character can have only one of each lifelong relation

Relation	Childhood	Adulthood	Lifelong
Friendship	Friend +60 opinion	Friend +60 opinion +10 stress when character dies	Best Friend +120 opinion +10 stress when character dies
Love	Crush +60 opinion	Lover +60 opinion +25% fertility +10 stress when character dies	Soulmate +120 opinion +25% fertility +10 stress when character dies
Conflict	Bully-Victim -20 opinion	Rival -60 opinion -35 stress when character dies	Nemesis -120 opinion -35 stress when character dies

Tyranny

Tyranny is negative opinion gained by rulers who take unjust actions. It is felt by vassals and courtiers towards a liege. The maximum tyranny a character can have is 1000. Tyranny is not gained if the liege has a valid reason.

Successfully imprisoning a character	+20 tyranny
Increasing feudal obligations	+20 tyranny per obligation without concession or hooks
Revoking title without title revocation reason	+20 tyranny
Retracting a vassal	+5 tyranny

Tyranny is reduced over time. This amount can be increased by perks, legacies and more. Tyranny gained through actions can also be reduced.

Personal diplomacy

All characters have an opinion modifier, Personal Diplomacy, which is based on a character's skill. It is calculated by taking the character's  Diplomacy skill and subtracting 8.

Diplomatic range

The diplomatic range is the distance within which two characters can interact with each other. Neighboring realms are always within diplomatic range of each other, as well as realms separated by no more than three sea zones.

Names

Each character has a name.

• Their first name is chosen at birth (or, for generated characters, when they are created) and it is based on their culture.
• Some cultures may have patronymics (names based on one's father) which act as a middle name.
• Their last name is decided by their  dynasty.

Nicknames

Nicknames are epithets granted to characters and are displayed either before or after a character's name. They are mainly gained through decisions and events.
