Ikkenøgleværdierne

Ikkenøgleværdierne refers to a concept within a specific fictional universe, likely a role-playing game or a literary work. It translates loosely from Danish as "non-key values" or "non-essential values." This term is used to denote elements that are present but do not form the core of a character's identity, abilities, or motivations.

These values can represent superficial traits, minor skills, or secondary allegiances that do not significantly impact the character's primary functions or narrative arc. For example, a character might have Ikkenøgleværdierne such as a fondness for a particular type of food, a minor skill in a non-combat-related activity, or a tertiary connection to a faction that rarely influences their decisions.

The purpose of defining Ikkenøgleværdierne is often to differentiate them from "nøgleværdierne" or "key values," which are the defining characteristics and primary drivers of a character. By distinguishing between these two categories, creators can establish a more nuanced and detailed understanding of their fictional entities, allowing for more complex character development and storytelling. Players or readers can use this concept to better understand the layers of a character, focusing on what truly matters while acknowledging the presence of less significant attributes.
