Sample Profiles

Following are a few personality profiles, randomly generated, each with a brief descriptive interpretation of how the results might be interpreted.

NPC #01

Honour345678910-1112131415161718Treachery Description
Humility345678910-1112131415161718Pride What a stinker — treacherous, spiteful, violent and avaricious, and all without a single redeeming feature. This is a guy you'd just love to hate.
Kindness345678910-1112131415161718Envy/Spite
Temperance345678910-1112131415161718Gluttony

NPC #02

Honour345678910-1112131415161718Treachery Description
Humility345678910-1112131415161718Pride This is an interesting combination. Clearly this guy has problems with self-control, especially when it comes to getting some bedroom action. He likes his food and drink, and has a bit of a hot temper. However, he's honest, kind and generous, and humble to boot. All in all, he's probably a pretty good friend to have — just don't leave your girlfriend alone with him.

NPC #03

Honour345678910-1112131415161718Treachery Description
Humility345678910-1112131415161718Pride A little lustful, a little gluttonous, otherwise this particular NPC isn't much different to anybody else in terms of personality. His sins outweigh his virtues, but not by much.
Kindness345678910-1112131415161718Envy/Spite

NPC #04

Honour345678910-1112131415161718Treachery Description
Humility345678910-1112131415161718Pride Talk about going to extremes! Envious and spiteful to the point of psychosis, a confirmed glutton, yet honourable, patient and diligent beyond the common run. This NPC could be trouble, or she could be a great help; in any case, she'd require careful handling.
Kindness345678910-1112131415161718Envy/Spite

Honour345678910-1112131415161718Treachery Description
Humility345678910-1112131415161718Pride A humble glutton, otherwise not really out of the ordinary. This NPC could probably be charmed just by holding out a bag of sweets.
