Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to generate consistent stories using autonomous characters. For this purpose, we develop a short story (called an episode) generator based on autonomous character agents. In order to generate consistent stories, the character agents have multi-level goals: viewer goals, plot goals, and character goals. The viewer goal represents emotional states that the author wants users to get. The plot goal represents a key scene, called a plot point, and characters play a role to achieve the plot point. The character goal is what it wants to achieve vocationally, physiologically, or mentally. In this paper, we propose a character agent system that can generate plot goals to achieve both viewer and character goals.
