Reasons for Hostility/Friendliness

1. Reasons for Hostility/Friendliness

   #1

   I'm working on an addition for my Spouse Generator(Which is currently being restored).
   
   Basicly, I need several reasons for why a Creature/Entity/Person/Familly/Group would be hostile or friendly towards someone.
   
   1) I just need general reasons, nothing specific.
   
   2) It needs to be something that holds true in any time-period/setting.
   
   Examples;
   
   Hostile because of theft/jilted lover/family member killed/ancestral enemy.
   
   Friendly because of bound by blood/business associates/lovers.
   
   Any help is greatly appriciated, as always.

   I'm just throwing out anything that comes to my mind in random brainstorm style.
   
   Friendly because:
   - grown up together and got along well
   - friend of a friend
   - reminds person of someone loved or at least liked
   - has a friendly disposition in general to anyone not outwardly hostile
   - likes person with certain looks/outfit/accessories
   - received help from person before (directly or indirectly)
   
   Hostile because:
   - grown up together and always had a rivalry
   - disliked by some acquaintance of the person
   - reminds person of someone hated or at least disliked
   - has a hostile disposition in general to anyone not personally known
   - dislikes person with certain looks/outfit/accessories
   - had a setback associated with the person before (directly or inadvertently)

   Reasons for hostility (and I am going off of the spouse concept here)
   

   
   
   Ah, let me clarify. The two people having either a friendly or hostile relationship, aren't the two spouses. This part is about Contacts related to the spouse or his/her family. For example, old family friend, business associate of his/her family member, an old feuding rival family etc.
   
   So when you marry into a family, you'll end up with their old friends and enemies. And this is about why they're friendly or hostile towards the spouse/the spouse's family.
