Hey dudes! I come bearing a survey.
On a scale of 1 to 5, rank your characters' personality traits according to strength and significance. It's nice to have a guide, or figure out where your character's strengths and weaknesses lie.
1 - Not important to the character at all, actively rejected, and/or virtually nonexistent.
2 - Exists on some level, but isn't a particular focus or value, and may be weak.
3 - Is neither a particular strength nor weakness; neither prioritized nor dismissed.
4 - Driving force and/or quality. Strongly present and/or valued.
5 - Obsession/defining trait. Particularly notable, noticeable, pursued, or desired.

Virtue

Selflessness
(prioritizing others ahead of oneself. unselfishness, altruism, and the belief that the well-being of others is general more important)
Sanity

Lightheartedness
(whim, humour, and giving in to impulse. having fun and doing it for the lulz. life is not srs business. adventure vs regulation)
