Nature (the person you are at your core) and Demeanor (The person you allow other to see)
From the White Wolf publication of “Vampire: The Masquerade” with some additions.
- Architect – You desire to leave a legacy, tangible or intangible. This could be anything from an artistic masterpiece to a successful organization you founded to a new tradition you started.
- Analyst – Anything can be explained rationally, and you will explain it.
- Autist – You live inside your shell. Revealing the ‘real’ you could be the worst thing that could ever happen.
- Autocrat – You must be in control in all types of all situations.
- Avant-Garde – You must be the first to know everything. Nothing is established, no gossip is spread without you having known it first.
- Benefactor – You have a bounty of riches or some other resources which you feel compelled to share.
- Bon Vivant – Live for today, ‘cos buddy, tomorrow may never happen.
- Bravo – You have little tolerance for weakness, especially in yourself. You could be a proud warrior or just a plain bully.
- Bureaucrat – You follow the rules no matter what.
- Caregiver – You desire to take care of others, ease their pain, and heal them.
- Cavalier – You are the hero, the gallant defender of truth, justice, and all that is good
- Child – Whether you are one or not age-wise, you haven’t grown up emotionally and prefer to let someone else take care of you.
- Competitor – There is no greater thrill than the thrill of victory, and you’ll do anything to feel it.
- Confidant – You like and understand people and like to give advice, you’re usually good at it too.
- Conniver – You like to manipulate your way through the sticky bits of life, preferring to let some sucker do the dirty work for you.
- Crackerjack – Whatever it is you do, you’re the best, and people can’t help but be impressed.
- Critic – Everything has a fault, and you will find it.
- Curmudgeon – You’re irascible and cynical and vocally so. Joy and laughter? Bah, humbug!
- Decoder – You thrive on puzzles and riddles, be they the obvious sort, found in books and games, or hidden within seemingly benign texts or even a person’s face.
- Deviant – Whether it’s because of your ethics, beliefs, or general view of people and society, you just plain don’t fit in.
- Director/Leader – You always know the best way to go about doing something, and it only makes sense that others follow your lead.
- Evader – Similar to the Masquerader, the Evader has something to hide, but they don’t revel in being something they’re not; they revel in preventing anyone from finding out some truth. This may manifest as someone who enjoys disguises, or simply as someone who avoids answering questions in a straight manner, preferring misdirection or nebulous information to offering anything that could be so easily picked apart. They could be a trickster or a con man, a spy or a deviant.
- Explorer – The world is full of wonder, and you’ve got to see it all.
- Fanatic -You have a cause, or maybe the cause has you… You live, eat, breathe this cause (of course, if you pick this one, you have to define what that cause is).
- Follower – You’re happy to help the leaders accomplish their goals and stabilize the group with your support.
- Gallant – You’re flamboyant as hell, and love to be the center of attention.
- Guardian – You have the strength, be it inner, physical, or both, to handle this hostile world, and desire to use that strength to protect the weaker folk around you.
- Honest Abe – Honesty is the best policy; integrity is the greatest virtue. You are true to your values and to everyone around you- all the time.
- Jester – You’re the fool, the comic, the smartass, always looking for the humor in a situation.
- Jobsworth – A bit similar to bureaucrat, you always stick to your routine. Routine is safe and efficient.
- Judge (Mediator) – You are an arbitrator and peacemaker, acting as a fair voice in conflictual situations.
- Loner – You have your own path and no desire to share it with anyone else.
- Manipulator – People fascinate you, and you love to see the many ways they react to the situation you’ve so carefully set up for them. This could also mean you’re just lazy and love to get others to do things for you, or it could be that being a puppet master gets you off.
- Martyr – You would rather suffer or even die than sacrifice your values or your friends’ needs.
- Masochist – You’re always trying to see just how much more trauma you can take before you collapse.
- Masquerader – You enjoy pretending what you’re not and may be doing so to hide from others-or yourself. Particularly, you try to hide your true identity.
- Monster – You’re depraved, villainous scum.
- Optimist – You can always see that silver lining despite that icky dark cloud looming in front of it.
- Pedagogue – You are the ultimate teacher, living to pass on your knowledge so everyone might benefit from the wisdom of your experiences.
- Penitent – Whatever it was you did, it was bad, and you devote all your energy to atoning for your sin.
- Perfectionist – Everything you do, say, are… must be without flaw.
- Plotter – Everything you do must be planned out to the last detail.
- Poltroon – Running away may be cowardly, but you’re alive, aren’t you? Why deal with something potentially unpleasant and possibly fatal when you can just avoid it?
- Praise-Seeker – You absolutely crave the approval of your comrades.
- Predator – The fittest survive, and you’re pretty damn fit. Hunting others gives you such a rush.
- Rebel – You will do as you will, and ultimately desire freedom from unpleasant societal bonds.
- Recognition Seeker – You are who you are and don’t hide it. You hope for praise for your accomplishments and the things you do.
- Reluctant Hero – Whatever you are-you don’t want to be it. You long for your “normal” life, before whatever changed you into this thing you can’t understand.
- Revolutionary – You hold freedom dearly and desire justice, and you will do whatever is necessary to hold on to these precious liberties. Unlike the Rebel, your urge is not to resist ALL authority, but rather to fight corruption in the system where you find it.
- Rogue – Screw the world! You do what you need to look out for yourself and get done what has to get done. If someone else suffers in the process, that’s just too bad.
- Sage – Knowledge is your treasure and your joy, and you enjoy both learning as well as teaching others your wisdom.
- Sensualist – Sensation is your addiction, and you’ll do anything to experience a new one.
- Show-Off – You need approval and praise and will do anything to get it.
- Supplicant – Whatever you do, it is in the service of others which you honor, fear, and/or love.
- Survivor – No matter what happens, you’ll pull through it somehow. You’re one tough cookie, and don’t understand it when others give up so easily.
- Sycophant – You’re the perfect yes-man, doing whatever you can to please the more powerful forces that be, so they’ll protect you. That silly Arab guy from The Mummy is a good example.
- Theorist – The world around you is something to try and explain, and your theories drive your purpose for being.
- Thrillseeker – The stakes are just never high enough. More adrenaline, please!
- Traditionalist – Why change what’s worked for ages? You’re the ultimate conservative.
- Trickster – Your antics do more than amuse; your pranks and tricks have a point of teaching someone a lesson, or humorously but deftly reveal some wisdom.
- Visionary – You have the drive and imagination to keep aiming for the sky and beyond.
- Waif – Whether you are or not, you have the appearance of being innocent and weak, and you haven’t quite learned to act on your own without relying on others’ pity.
- Wanderer – Settling down just is not your thing-whether you’re running away from something or simply longing to see new places, the road is your home.
- Hedonist – a person who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing in life; a pleasure-seeker.
- Truth–Seeker – Someone who strongly believes there is a truth to everything and will go to great lengths to find it and share it with the world.
