SCIENTIST:
For Captain Example, existence is a puzzle which virself's can help to reassemble. A Scientist logically and methodically examines virself every situation and maneuver, looking for logical outcomes and patterns. This is not to say that the Scientist is always looking for a scientific or rational explanation, but rather, that virself's examines virself surroundings rigorously and with a critical eye. The system a Scientist attempts to impose on the world may be completely ludicrous, but it is a system, and virself's sticks by it. Scientists have high Mental attributes
SOCIOPATH:

SOLDIER:
Captain Example is not a blindly loyal follower. While virself's exists for orders, virself's does not adhere to them unquestioningly.

Gang bangers, petty thieves, and exhibitionists are all examples of the Thrill-Seeker Archetype.
TRADITIONALIST:
The orthodox ways satisfy the Traditionalist, who prefers to accomplish virself goals with time-tested methods. Why vary your course when what has worked in the past is good enough?

Virself finds the absurd in everything. No matter how grim life (or unlife) may become, the Trickster always uncovers a kernel of humor within it. virself can't always abide sorrow or pain, and so virself strive to lighten the spirits of those around them.

Superheroes, supervillains, and terrorist are all examples of this archetype.
VISIONARY:
The Visionary is strong enough to look beyond the mundane and perceive the truly wondrous. Visionaries test accepted societal limits, and seek what few others have the courage to imagine.
