How do archetypes relate to each other
Archetypes in Persona have a relationship to each other. We tend to think of the range of attributes as a continuum or a wheel. Much like a color
wheel we see that there are similar, inverted, synonymous, and complimentary archetypes. Here is a bit more on each of those:
Similar archetypes would be in adjacent positions on a wheel. They are likely, most like the archetype.
Inverted archetypes would be their form if they were corrupted or if they were made whole.
Synonymous archetypes are the opposite gender and inverted form.
Complementary archetypes would sit across from the archetype on a wheel. Much like complimentary colors on a color wheel i.e red and
green or blue and orange.
Each character has a section in the create mode that shows the connections to the other archetypes as mentioned above. Here is an Example for
the Man-in-Charge:
Similar Rebel, Standard Bearer
Synonymous Center of Influence, Evil Queen
Inverted Tyrant
Complementary Outsider
