# ADR 006 — Genre-Agnostic Core

**Status:** Accepted

## Decision

Core data structures and workflows will not hard-code fantasy or science-fiction concepts.

## Context

The same application should support swords-and-sorcery, hard science fiction, space opera, mystery, and other interactive-fiction genres.

## Alternatives Considered

- fantasy-specific schema,
- separate engine per genre,
- generic story engine with campaign profiles.

## Reason

The underlying requirements—characters, locations, relationships, history, facts, scenes, memory, and branches—are common across genres.

## Consequences

- genre-specific rules belong in profiles/configuration/canon,
- avoid schema columns such as `spell`, `sword`, `spaceship`, etc.,
- use generic concepts such as entities, items, vehicles, locations, organizations, and facts.
