| - | Everyone plays a role, often several, every day. Every individual displays multiple layers of personality, varying from the contrived to the sincere. Each of these roles define how we interact with the people and places around us, and we choose which parts of ourselves we wish to show. [[archetypes|Archetypes]] allow players to build a sense of personality for their characters, and to define a bit of what makes the character tick. The character should act as the player reasonably or emotionally believes they would act in a given situation. It is worth noting that Archetypes are not rigid but are merely starting points. As a character grows and changes, they may shift. Players and Storytellers may wish to define their own Archetypes that more closely exemplify how the character in question responds to her surroundings and customizing an Archetype that truly speaks to the soul of a character. Every character is an individual, and customized Archetypes are a logical outgrowth of that. | + | Everyone plays a role, often several, every day.

| The concept of Nature and Demeanor corresponds directly to the different masks we wear when we interact. What face do they present to the world, and what face lies beneath that? It is another way of asking the question “What is my character like?” Asking the whether your character is very open about his nature or whether she puts on a different face for the world may help you role play her more evocatively.By choosing how we relate to the world, we are able to choose how it relates to us as well, as we guide the responses others give us. Nature and Demeanor are a way to elaborate further on characters’ personality. Characters need not slavishly devote themselves to their Natures and Demeanors. The concept of Nature and Demeanor is that a character loosely matches a pair of given personality Archetypes. | The concept of Nature and Demeanor corresponds directly to the different masks we wear when we interact.
