Universal Behaviour Profile

I did this for hexes and planets, but what if I want to use this same system for giving an NPC some specific behaviour notes? Forget how they look, how do I give this NPC some life without doing a dreaded bad accent? 

Yes, I twisted this one to make another meaningless acronym: TWOF.

Tempo: The speed of their speech
Weight: The heft of their delivery
Openness: Friendliness and informality
Flair: How much theatre do they add

Roll 5d6 and drop the highest. Imagine that 4s look like Ns, 5s like Hs, and 6s like S. ~
1=1: Low
2=2: Medium
3=3: High
4=N: Null, actively suppressed to a strange lack
5=H: Hazardous, not a lack or excess, but some weird twist
6=S: Super, off the scale. Think big then go bigger.

Remember, 1-3 represent the more typical scale, with N, H, and S representing exceptional results.

Examples

3H32: A gravelly machinegun of information and back-slaps.  

H32N: Too loud with awkward pauses before trailing off on a truly boring tangent. 

N3N3: Thinks for an age before delivering a confident bon mot that doesn’t really say much once you stop to think about it. 

112S: A hushed whisper, strangely compelling, pulling you closer and staring into your eyes.
