Procedural Generation
Procedural Generation is a form of creating media automatically. Rather than hand-crafting every coastline, mountain, tree, person, and their identity, a designer makes a system where they need to enter a few variables and the program works out the details. It's a bit of a double-edged sword: when it's done well, it works really well, but when it's done poorly, it's either a mess or horribly boring.
Surprisingly Moving Song
A character listens to a piece of music, and it sparks in them a profound reaction or emotional response, often one that is exaggerated or wholly unnatural.
In most cases, this involves the listener hearing music so beautiful, so perfect, that it actually moves that person to tears, be it a Single Tear, Manly Tears, or just flat out uncontrollable sobbing. Other times, a moving musical piece may send the listener into a kind of deep, tranquil state of serenity and extreme calmness, as if the world around them suddenly ceased to exist and all that remained was their song and their sheer devotion to it.
