Archetypes

Archetypes are themes of the soul that go beyond Elemental Affinities in characterizing an intelligent individual's personality. Every mature individual is classified as being part of one Major Archetype and one linked Minor Archetype at any given time, and while there is some mobility between both types of Archetypes possible from experiencing character development through monumental events, Major Archetypes are typically stable within an individual from the moment that they reach a certain degree of cognitive awareness that occurs for most beings at some point during their early childhood; prior such point, they are categorized as having a Nascent Archetype. Archetypes arise from a being's soul, and while external factors do have an impact on what Archetype an individual will develop into, much of a being's innate characteristics are believed to be predictable from the moment of their birth.

As individuals tend to live rather complex lives, they may appear to take on many different Archetypes throughout the course of their journey through the world; the most prominent example of this being seen in parents being perceived to be Caregivers with regards to the context of their relationship with their children. While this does certainly appear to be the case, such situations are external and incidental while their Soul's Archetype is intrinsic and fundamental. Even if they do behave in such ways in such contexts, their hearts and actions must always be guided by the lens of their quintessential truths. In the eternal masquerade of daily being, it is a rather simple and necessary thing for individuals to occasionally, or even regularly, act in certain ways despite their nature. Most beings do hold the potential to be many things that they fundamentally are not, but it is nigh impossible for them to forever deny being something that they fundamentally are and always will be; we can be what we are not, but we cannot not be what we are.

## Nascent Archetypes

Nascent Archetypes are those used to describe beings that have not yet developed into a true Major Archetype, typically through a lack of significant conception of the self. Newborn Ib are typically categorized as a Nascent Archetype until they have reached a point in childhood that their personality has developed. Additionally, creatures that lack Ib intelligence are placed into these categories as well. Nascent Archetypes tend to be less rigid than Major Archetypes as they tend to be part of transitory phases in Ib development.

While one might expect that the Champion Archetype arises most commonly in Contenders who succeeded in some monumental task, in truth, many Ib of the Gladiator Archetype begin with some delusion of grandeur that causes themselves to already be proven great. It is only upon tasting devastating failure and bitter defeat that they then ascertain a minor Archetype more fitting of their worth, and few ever return to being Champions.

One becoming a Fallen does not mean that they take on a new set of beliefs, indeed, a Chosen Holy Paladin who veered towards the path of darkness would merely become a Chosen Depraved Antipaladin, not a Fallen Holy Paladin, but rather it means that they have fallen from grace within their already established doctrine. This fall may lead to a realignment in their beliefs but does not require it.
