But everyone wants in to your life, mostly to manipulate you, and the best way to avoid this is to reveal as little as possible. You wouldn't have to keep such secrets if everyone wasn't trying to use your history, your opinions, and your true feelings against you all the time.
Quest: Gain Willpower every time you overcome an obstacle.īan: Never pass up a learning opportunity. The challenge of learning the new thing is what interests you, so your accomplishments are likely to be diverse, but not entirely noteworthy. As a result, others may see you as a jack-of-all-trades but a true master of none, someone who abandons projects once he becomes bored with them. You view the pursuit of a goal to be just as important as obtaining it. Unlike the Virtuoso, your aspirations tend towards gaining general excellence, rather than mastering one particular field. This means that you spend most of your time pursuing different goals. Every obstacle is a potential opportunity, and you rarely rest on the laurels of past accomplishments for very long. Life is a learning experience, and you always strive to improve yourself. Quest: Whenever you manage to 'reach' an audience through something you've created, you gain a point of Willpower.īan: Never do something that would undermine a work of art. They can typically be found in Parisian and Budapest coffee or absinthe houses, university quads and dilapidated brothels or hostels serving as communes. Poets, playwrights, painters, composers and other such romantic demonstrative sorts are Artiste Archetypes. The Artiste thrives on the reception and digestion of her art - and usually the acceptance of it as well. The Masters knew this and rejoiced not just in the glory of human form, but in the gift of expression given only to humans. The ability to create is what elevates humans above the animals. The Artiste is interested in art for art's sake. Quest: Whenever your labor at a task at the expense of yourself finally pays off with success, you gain a point of Willpower.īan: Never rest easily until your current projects are complete.
You are proud of your work, but not arrogant towards anyone, as long as they have respect for your toil. You're not afraid of heavy labor, and regard the calluses on your hands as a badge of honor. You don't labor for glory, but for the pride of a job well done, and it's almost impossible for you to be at peace with a project still incomplete, tugging at the corner of your mind. Other people may flit about, with their intrigues and their love affairs, but in the end, it's sweat, tears, and blood which get the job done, and any person who says otherwise has no idea what he's talking about, as far as you're concerned. Ultimately, you know that nothing is ever accomplished unless people are willing to toil at it, tirelessly getting the job done. There's no substitute for hard work, no matter what anyone says. Quest: Whenever you create or establish something of importance or lasting value, you gain a Willpower.īan: Never work towards a goal that will destroy something that someone has put their time and effort into.
Many American pioneers were Architects by Nature. You are the type of person who makes an effort to build something of value: to found a town, create a company or in some way leave a lasting legacy. People need many things, and you gain satisfaction by providing whatever you can. Your sense of purpose goes beyond your own needs you try to create something of lasting value for those who will come after you. Quest: Whenever a breakthrough gives you a greater understanding of the magical axioms which allow supernaturals to function, you gain Willpower.īan: Never participate in social games or other "distractions" when there is work to be done in the lab. You are rational and methodical, relying on careful consideration and an implicit (if not entirely consistent) logic. What's more, you believe that the answers to everyday problems, both mundane and esoteric, are found in the operations that one performs magically. You are a student of the mysteries, a dabbler into metasciences, and an explorer of forgotten lore. There is more to be learned in the lab and the library than anywhere else, and the results are so much clearer in those venues. "As above, so below…" runs the alchemical axiom, and you believe it.
