Alpha
You believe that you were born to lead and that instinct proves you
correct. It is your driving goal to become the leader of whatever group
you are a part of. You are an 'alpha', a lead wolf. However, others do
not necessarily regard you as such. Thus, you feel the need to prove this
to reinforce the idea in them and in yourself. This has brought you many
challenges, and will bring many more in the future.
This archetype can be taken by nearly anyone, and the ST will judge when to award Willpower.
Autist
You must hide your secrets from others. Even more importantly, you hide
your true self. Anyone who understands you can hurt you, so no one must
ever see the real you - no one can come close. Give away as little of
yourself as possible - adopt a false personality if you like - but just
make sure no one gets hold of the truth about you. Knowledge is power,
and thos who know you can do anything they like to you.
Bravo
You are known as a bully, a ruffian and a tough, and delight in tormenting
the weak. Things must always go your way, and you do not tolerate those
who cross you. Power and might are all you respect; indeed, you heed only
those who can prove their power to you.
You see nothing wrong with forcing your will upon others. There is nothing you like better than to persecute, antagonise, heckle and intimidate those for whom you have contempt - and you respect few indeed. The emotions of kindness and pity are not completely foreign to you, but you hide from your own sense of weakness through cruelty to others. While most Bravos despise the weak, a few become their protectors.
Caregiver
You always try to help those around you, struggling to make a difference
in the needs and sorrows of the unfortunate. People around you depend on
your stability and strength to keep them steady and centred. You are the
one to whom people turn to when they have a problem. This is a Nature
common amongst the clerics of Sorwe.
Cavalier
You are as bold, intrepid, valiant and fearless as you need to be to
complete your duty. You are the hero who strives to uphold your ideals
and sense of justice. By protecting that which is good, you seek to
preserve the society that made you what you are. You hate Deviants (
though you don't always recognise them). Many Cavaliers don't think of
themselves as heroic, only as ordinary, but that is because nothing has
ever been required of them. When the need is clear, the hero within
shall surely emerge.
Competitor
You are driven by the need to win at all costs. The thrill of victory
is the only thrill you recognise; it is the thing that drives you on.
You see life as a contest and society as a dichotomy of winners and losers.
You believe {\em all} the macho proverbs - {\em if you're not the lead dog,
the view never changes; there are no prizes for second place; eat or be
eaten}. You try to turn every situation into a contest of some kind - it
is the only way you can relate to anything. You are capable of cooperating
with others, but only by turning the group interactions into another contest:
you must be the leader, or the most productive, or the most indispensable,
or the best liked - anything, as long as it means you win, in some way
or another.
Child
You are still immature in personality and temprement: a kid who never grew
up. Though you can (hopefully) care for yourself, you prefer the security
of being watched over by others. Often you seek out someone to look out
for you - a caretaker of sorts. Some see you as a spoiled brat, while others
see you as an innocent cherub unaffected by the evils of the world.
Confidant
You understand others, and more importantly you like them. You are a
facilitator who listens and advises. People confess to you and in return
you give them advice, most of it good (although sometimes the advice is
more for you own benefit than that of the recipient). You are very interested
in other people, and who and what they are.
Conformist
You are a follower. Taking charge is just not your style. It is easier
for you to adapt, attune, adjust, comply and reconcile yourself to any
new situation in which you find yourself. You flit to the brightest star,
the person whom you feel to be the best, and throw your lot in with her.
It is both difficult and distasteful for you to go against the flow or
rebel. You hate inconsistency and instability, and know that supporting
a strong leader prevents chaos from occuring. All stable groups need some
kind of Conformist.
Conniver
What's the sens of working hard when you can get something for nothing?
Why drudge when, just by talking, you can get what you want? You always
try to find the easy way out, the fast track to success and wealth.
Some people might call what you do swindling or even outright theft, but
you know that you only do what everyone else does; you just do it better.
Additionally, its a game, and you get great pleasure out of outwitting
someone. Connivers play many roles, so you may be a thief, a swindler, a
street waif, an entrepreneur, a con man or just a finagler.
Curmudgeon
You are an irascible, churlish person at heart, taking everything
seriously and finding little humour in life (though you may have
a wickedly barbed wit). Cynicism is your middle name; it is the
tool by which you judge everything in life. You have a very well-defined
understanding of how things work, especially when they involve the
circus of human endeavor. Long ago the foolish actions of others
ceased to surprise you.
Deviant
There are always people who don't fit in, and you are such a miscreant.
Your beliefs, motivations and sense of propriety and the complete
antithesis of the status quo. You are not so much an aimless rebel as
an independant thinker who does not belong in the society in which you
were raised. You don't give a damn about other people's morality, but
you do adhere to your own strange code of conduct. Deviants are
typically irreverent, and some have truly bizarre tastes and
desires.
Director
You despise chaos and disorder, and tend to take control and organise
things in order to supress anarchy. You like to be in charge, live to
organise and habitually strive to make things work smoothly. You trust
your own judgement implicitly, and tend to think of things in black and
white terms: "This won't work", "You're either for me or against me",
"There are two ways to do this - my way and the wrong way."
Fanatic
You are consumed by a cause; it is the primary force in your life, for
good or ill. Every ounce of blood and passion you posess is directed
toward it; in fact, you may feel very guilty about spending time on
anything else. You will let nothing stand in your way - nothing that
you cannot overcome, in any case. You and those around you may suffer,
but you cause is everything - the end justifies the means. Before the
game begins, make sure you describe your cause, and define how it may
affect your behaviour.
Gallant
You are as flamboyant as you are amoral; some see you as a rogue, a Don
Juan, a rake, a paramour or just a lounge lizard - but you see yourself
as all of the above. A consummate actor who loves to make as big a show
as possible, nothing attracts your attention more than an appreciative
audience. You love people and you love to impress them even more. Though
you may indeed be a superior lover, you enjoy the chase almost as much as you
enjoy the act. Gallants vary widely in temperament and ambition, holding
in common little more than their love of attention.
Jester
You are the fool, idiot, quipster, clown or comic, forever making
fun of both yourself and others. You constantly seek the humour in
any situation, and strive always to battle the tides of depression
inside yourself. You hate sorrow and pain, and constantly try to
take others' minds off the dark side of life. Sometimes you'll do
nearly anything to forget pain exists. Your particular brand of
humour might not always impress your friends, but it makes you feel
better. Some Jesters manage to escape pain, and are truly happy, but
most never find release.
Judge
As a facilitator, moderator, arbitrator, conciliator and peacemaker, you
always seek to make things better. You pride yourself on your rationality,
your judgement and your ability to deduce a reasonable explanation when
given the facts. You struggle to promote truth, but you understand how
difficult it is to ascertain. You respect justice, for that is the way
in which truth can reign.
In your view, people are resources, albeit ones that are most difficult to manage and employ. You hate dissension and arguments, and shy away from dogmatism. Sometimes Judges make good leaders, though a lack of vision can sometimes cause them to maintain the status quo instead of searching for a better way.
Loner
You are the type of person who is always alone, even in a crowd. You are
the wanderer, hunter and lone wolf. Although others might think of you as
lonely, forsaken, isolated or remote, in truth you prefer your own company
to that of others. There ae many different reasons why this might be so:
you don't understand people, you understand them too well, people don't
like you, they like you too much, or you are simply lost in your own thoughts.
Your reasons are your own.
Martyr
All possess the MArtyr instinct, but few act upon it. Even fewer live
the life of a Martyr, but you are such a one. Your desire for self-sacrifice
stems either from a low self-esteem, a feeling of a lack of control, or a
profoundly developed sense of love. You are able to endure long-lasting and
severe suffering because of your beliefs and ideals.
At worst, a Martyr expects sympathy and attention because of his or her suffering, and may even feign or exaggerate pain and deprivation. At best, a Martyr will choose to suffer injury or even the Final Death rather than renouce his religion, beliefs, principles, cause or friends.
Rebel
You are a malcontent, iconoclast and free-thinking recalcitrant. You are
so independent-minded and free-willed that you are unwilling to join any
particular cause or movement. You are just yourself and only desire the
freedom to be yourself. You do not make a good follower, and aren't usually
a very good leader either (unless your followers are willing to go wherever
you lead). You tend to be insubordinate to authority to the point of stupidity.
Survivor
No matter what, you always manage to survive. You can endure, pull
through, recover from, outlast and outlive nearly any circumstance.
When the going gets tough, you get going. You never say die - never.
Nothing angers you as much as a person who doesn't struggle to make
things better, or who surrenders to the nameless forces of the universe.
Traditionalist
You are an orthodox, conservative and extremely traditional individual.
What was good enough for you when you were young is good enough for you
now. You almost never change. In general, you are opposed to change for
the sake of change - what point is there in that? You may be seen by
some as a miser, a reactionary or simply an old fogy. You always strive
to always preserve the status quo.
Visionary
There are very few who are brave or strong or imaginative enough to look
beyond the suffocating embrace of society and mundane thought and see
something more. Society treats such people with both respect and contempt -
for it is the Visionary who perverts as well as guides society into the
future.
You may be a spiritualist, shaman, mystic, philosopher or inventor, but whatever you are, you are always looking for something more. You see beyond the bounds of conventional imagination and create new possibilites. Though you might have your head in the clouds and are often of an impractical bent, you are filled with new ideas and perceptions.
