Suggested Characteristics

Personality Traits (d8)

1I try to make friends where ever I go. I want to form a support circle...maybe one day even tell them.
2I spend money freely and live life to the fullest, knowing that tomorrow I might die.
3I don't run from evil because I am oblivious to it or uncaring.
4I am very superstitious.
5I expect danger around every corner.
6I don't talk about my mental state with others. I'd rather not burden them.
7I try to help others who have been through what I have been through.
8I am unyieldingly genuine, and laugh, cry, or scream without restraint.

Ideals (d6)

1Some day, I will make life better for everyone like me. (Good)
2We have to take care of each other, because no one else is going to do it. (Lawful)
3My mental state isn't like yours, but I'm just like you. (Neutral)
4It's only a matter of time... It's only a matter of time... It's only a matter of time... (Chaotic)
5The people who did this to me are going to pay. (Evil)
6I'm a good person. I deserve love. (Any)

Bonds (d6)

1I keep my thoughts and discoveries in a journal. My journal helps me cope.
2I seek to undo this cursed mental clouding, so I can return to my former life. But everyday I feel less stable, and closer to the point of no return.
3I believe there is a way to make me normal, and I am on a quest to find it.
4I blame everyone else for what happened to me.
5Growing up, there was only one person who could see past my affliction to the real me. I would do anything for them.
6All I want is to find somewhere I belong.

Flaws (d6)

1I have certain rituals that I must follow every day. I can never break them.
2I am just as judgmental and prejudiced as everyone else- perhaps more so.
3I don't understand why people fear or pity me.
4Violence is my answer to almost any challenge.
5It doesn't matter what people say to me. I'm not crazy, I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve...more evolved.
6The voices... The voices... never... stop...
