<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 15pt;">Nature</span></span><br/><br/>Whatever your character concept is, your<strong>Nature</strong>defines you. Your<strong>Nature</strong>is a personality archetype that best suits your true disposition, regardless of how you act toward specific people or in any given situation. Though it's by no means a complete description of your character's personality, it's the archetype that the concept plays into, and fits best with the character.<br/><br/>You're also essentially roleplaying to your<strong>Nature</strong>(and sometimes against it) for great storytelling; characters don't always pick and choose what would be best for them. You aren't shining heroes of light. This is gritty realism.<br/><br/>I'm providing a long list of sample<strong>Natures</strong>, but you can come up with your own, too.<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Addict:</strong> You are hooked on something or someone.</li><li><strong>Architect:</strong> You build a better future.</li><li><strong>Autocrat:</strong> You need control.</li><li><strong>Avant-Garde:</strong> You crave the new and the exciting.</li><li><strong>Barbarian:</strong> Civilization is the crutch of the weak.</li><li><strong>Bon Vivant:</strong> Existence is for pleasure.</li><li><strong>Bravo:</strong> Strength is all that matters.</li><li><strong>Bumpkin:</strong> Common sense and practical wisdom are best.</li><li><strong>Bureaucrat:</strong> Rules keep the world from collapsing into chaos.</li><li><strong>Caregiver:</strong> You are a wellspring of compassion.</li><li><strong>Celebrant:</strong> You exist for your own passion.</li><li><strong>Child:</strong> You demand that others give you what you want.</li><li><strong>Competitor:</strong> You strive to be the best.</li><li><strong>Conformist:</strong> You follow and assist.</li><li><strong>Conniver:</strong> Brains over Brawn.</li><li><strong>Critic:</strong> Pointing out flaws makes it possible to correct them.</li><li><strong>Curmudgeon:</strong> Nothing is worthwhile.</li><li><strong>Dabbler:</strong> Easily distracted by new ideas and rarely finishing any one thing.</li><li><strong>Defender:</strong> You stand guard over that for which you care.</li><li><strong>Deviant:</strong> You exist for no one's pleasure but your own.</li><li><strong>Director:</strong> You oversee what must be done.</li><li><strong>Dreamer:</strong> You aspire to lofty heights.</li><li><strong>Explorer:</strong> Life is a never-ending adventure.</li><li><strong>Fanatic:</strong> The cause is all that matters.</li><li><strong>Follower:</strong> You look for someone else to take charge.</li><li><strong>Gambler:</strong> You play the odds in all things.</li><li><strong>Gallant:</strong> You seek to be the center of attention.</li><li><strong>Grotesque:</strong> You delight in disgusting others.</li><li><strong>Judge:</strong> Balance, truth and justice are your quests.</li><li><strong>Leader:</strong> When you speak, you expect others to listen.</li><li><strong>Loner:</strong> You go your own way.</li><li><strong>Martyr:</strong> You suffer for the greater good.</li><li><strong>Masochist:</strong> You test your limits every day.</li><li><strong>Mediator:</strong> You always try to reach an agreement.</li><li><strong>Mentor:</strong> You try to teach others.</li><li><strong>Monster:</strong> You are damned, so you may as well act like it.</li><li><strong>Pedagogue:</strong> You save others through knowledge.</li><li><strong>Penitent:</strong> You seek to atone for past acts.</li><li><strong>Perfectionist:</strong> Nothing is ever good enough.</li><li><strong>Rake:</strong> Reveling in the public display of the illicit, the forbidden or disgraceful.</li><li><strong>Riddler:</strong> The truth is best obscured.</li><li><strong>Rogue:</strong> Those who can, win; those who can't, lose.
