Description
An Ambitious character has a desire for personal achievement. This motivation gives them their lives direction, and they seek to be the best at what they choose to do in order to attain power or superiority in their field. The character wants to succeed, and is willing to do almost anything to do so (the exact limits of their behavior will be determined by the strength at which Ambitious has been taken, as well as the character's other Psychological Complications). Ambitious people are inherently Competitive with anyone they perceive (rightly or wrongly) as being rivals for advancement.
At Moderate strength, the character wants to get ahead, but isn't willing to seriously hurt others to do so. At Strong, the character is willing to sacrifice others to his own ambitions, but is capable of taking the needs of those who are close to him into consideration. At the Total level, the character doesn't give a damn at all about what happens to those people who stand in between him and his goals.
