Soul Colours

Soul Colours are one of the two components of the Soul Engine role-playing system, the other being Alignment. The Soul Colours of a character are chosen at character creation, and do not change during play as Alignment might. They represent the core personality and emotional makeup of the character, and role-playing in accordance with your character's Soul Colours is an easy way to earn passage to higher Levels.

It is vital to understand that Soul Colours are not a straight-jacket. The do not define what actions or worldviews your character can or cannot take, but instead what actions or attitudes you character is **more likely** to take. None of the eighteen Soul Colours are intrinsically better or worse than the others (although they may well see themselves as such) - for the moral aspect of a character's outlook, see Alignments.
