Psychological Profile

[Loc Taal]

Here's an idea from the Top Secret S./I. roleplaying game. You can create a "Psychological Profile" for your character. It doesn't really affect gameplay at all, it just lets you more fully develop your character. Your psychological profile is made up of 6 attributes. You assign one of the following values to each attribute: None, Low, Some, High or Total.

Cruelty measures how cruel your character is. A High or Total here might mean your character is likely to use torture during Interrogation attempts, or that your character likes to kick puppies, and so on. A No or Low score means your character doesn't have a cruel bone in his or her body.
Loyalty measures your character's devotion to a person, organization, or country. A High or Total here might mean you value a friendship more than life itself, or that you consider national security to be of utmost importance. A No or Low score means your character can turn on friends or organizations in the blink of an eye.
Passion measures intense interests. A High or Total here might mean your character attacks projects with great intensity, never doing anything halfway. A No or Low score indicates that your character is more laid back, less obsessive about things.
Piety is a measure of religious/spiritual conviction. A High or Total here means your character is devoutly religious. A No or Low score means your character cares little for spiritual matters.
Sanity measures how good a grasp of reality your character has. A High or Total in this area means your character is down-to-earth, rational, and well-adjusted. A No or Low score indicates that your character is off the deep end in some way of your own choosing.
Selfishness is a measure of how self-centered your character is. This can manifest itself in an overinflated ego, or in a lack of willingness to share possessions (or information). A High or Total means your character is egocentric or selfish. A No or Low score means he or she tends to be generous and open.
