Psyche and ego are optional traits that can help you define your characters.
Psyche
Psyche describes a characters innermost workings and the very basics upon which their personality is built. The trait is mostly descriptive and interesting from a roleplaying perspective and describes in broad terms how the character interacts with the world.
Introvert
The character is predominantly introvert. True introverts tend to be more interested in their own thoughts and feelings than happenings or social interactions. Whereas extroverts may thrive on going-ons, external stimuli tend to tire out introverts over time and they may require alone-time with their thoughts and interests to really rest. Introverts tend to be focused, reflective, thoughtful and in control of their behaviour or emotions. They don’t get bored easily and like to keep their minds busy with their own thoughts or projects.
Extrovert
The character is predominantly extrovert. True extroverts tend to be more interested in social interactions and happenings than their own, inner workings. They may thrive on attention and feel energized when exciting things happen. Extroverts also tend to be outgoing, impulsive, easily distracted and bored and may wear their emotions on their sleeve.
Ego
While psyche describes the underlying workings of your character, the ego is the basic overlying personality. The egos given here are not meant to dictate how you play your character, but to help add definition. You are free to make up your own if you want.
Brute
For the brute, violence is never far away, in mind if not in action. Where others may try diplomacy or reasoning to get their will, the brute uses anger and violence to dominate others and control situations. The behavioural and emotional toolbox of brutes tend to be limited and they often view softness as weakness.
Brutes can be highly intelligent and moral beings, but they typically follow some code that they feel justifies their behaviour.
Stereotypes : made guys, hooligans, bullies
Caregiver
The caregiver is an empathic character who tends to inspire trust in others who often seek them out if they need advice or a shoulder to cry on. They are selfless, supportive and genuinely care about other people and often thrive doing work which involves some form of care for others.
Stereotypes : nurses, psychologists, grandmothers, the best friend
Hedonist
Hedonists find the world to be such a stimulating place. They find great pleasure in the things that tickle the senses, such as food and drink, striking art, movies, drugs or sex. They also tend to be energetic people who like it when there’s something going on. In their passion, some find moderation difficult and may have trouble with self-control. Towards others, hedonists tend to be open-minded and uncritical and may seem quite sociable, if often a little eccentric.
Stereotypes : Painters, movie directors, adrenaline junkies, storm chasers, substance abusers, S&M aficianados
Leader
Leaders tend to be confident, charismatic and capable people who tend to inspire trust. They can be a little demanding towards others, but typically know the right thing to say or do to get their way. Leaders like to be the ones to make decisions and generally know what to do, even when they don’t. They tend to be competitive and hold themselves to high standards. They also tend to have a strong sense of morale and principle, even though their views may deviate from societal norm.
Stereotypes : judges, lawyers, politicians, athletes
Loner
The loner is capable, self-sufficient and generally look out for themselves first. They tend to view the world as a playfield where everyone ultimately compete against eachother and alliances are mostly useful as long as they serve to achieve some goal. As a result, friendships with others tend to be fleeting. Despite this, the loner can become fiercely loyal to the few who manage to earn their trust and friendship.
Stereotypes : orphans, war vets, athletes, survivalists
Philosopher
The philosopher is thoughtful, patient and tends to think before acting. Philosophers tend to be selective with their interests and can sometimes be dispassionate or dismissive towards things that do not interest them, but they devote themselves even more so to their passions which tend to be of a philosophical nature. They are usually intelligent and often seem a little eccentric to others.
Stereotypes : professors, chess players, programmers, composers
Socialite
Socialites thrive on being the center of attention. They are outgoing trendsetters, expressive and passionate or approachable and funny. Although they can be secretive and manipulative, they generally think of their own thoughts and feelings as highly important and like to express them. They typically have at least one true friend and confidant whom they will spill their guts to.
Stereotypes : comedians, actors, drama queens, politicians, artists
