PERSONALITY ARCHETYPES

There are some creatures with dual souls or dual personalities who can definitely benefit from having clear Archetypes defined for them.

Here are some Examples. Generally the only characters who MUST take an Archetype are those with Multiple personality disorders, Shadows Or P'o. This is to make sure that a person has clearly DIFFERENT GOALS than that of their Primary Personality. Shadows and P'o have defined Archetypes in such cases the Wraith or Kuei-Jin just needs to choose a Personality Archetype for their "Regular" character and choose the Archetype of their Shadow or P'o from the relevant pages.

Those with Multiple Personality Disorders must choose a primary personality Archetype, then conflicting Archetypes for any remaining personalities.

This is done with the purview to prevent "Fish Malking" and intended to present the character who suffers a derangement a CHALLENGE instead of open license to have a "beneficial" mental health issue. Derangements are tragic flaws rather than fun eccentricities. Sure you can play quirky, everyone can, but it should be done with the view that its a compulsive and uncontrollable flaw that will gain you enmity among your peers.
