The personality processor is a complex piece of software that attempts to provide the attributes associated with a real person to create an AI style agent. The components of personality modelled are: emotion, self-motivation, change over time, and social relationships.

The personality processor consists of the following components.

• Artificial Intelligence Core Processor
• Emotional State Processor
• Memories Processor
• Motivational Processor
• Social Interactions Processor

Linkages from:

• Game database to determine the current state of the world
• Personality Processor to determine the appropriate response.
• Time Processor: schedular to receive scheduled events.
• Time Processor: world clock, to receive the current time.

Linkages to:

• Game database to make changes to the world
• Plot Processor to determine the appropriate response.
• Time Processor: schedular to create or modify schedule events.

The personality processor has the following interface capabilities:

• direct access
• RMI access
