===Generosity===
 
===Generosity===
  
−
Generosity represents a character’s willingness to give of themselves and/or go out of their way for someone else. While this can lead to a character giving too much and not knowing when they need to take a hard line with others, it also means that they tend to be the one who gets themselves into trouble this way. A character who is generous runs the risk of taking on more work, or giving more of themselves, than they can reasonably handle.
+
Respect, gratitude and hope can transcend the harshness of reality and inspire.
 +
(Generosity is used to charm and appeal to an opponent's self interests, manipulate or inspire.)
 +
• Desire: Greed, narcissism and ambition can cause you to ignore or hurt others, either on purpose or by accident, but sometimes you need help in handling your own problems.
 +
(Desire is used when attempting trickery or when trying to gain someone's trust for ill gains.)
  
 
The element of Generosity is associated with the plentiful sea. Its discordant opposite is Greed.

===Honesty===
 
===Honesty===
  
−
Honesty represents a character’s dependability and forthright attitude, including their desire to be the one who can always be counted on for whatever is needed. In short, instead of directly reflecting a character not telling lies, honesty more refers to a character having a ‘true heart.’ While this can lead to a character trying to handle too many things (or too difficult things) on their own, it also means that they tend to never shy away from a challenge. A character who is honest runs the risk of biting off more than they can chew, but is usually highly responsible.
+
Bravery, perseverance and courage to face the truth and whatever consequences it may bring.
 +
(Honesty is used whenever the character makes an truthful, plain argument, tries to overcome fear, or reduce the danger level.)
 +
• Anxiety: Fear, worry and doubt hinder honesty, but sometimes can save you from danger.
 +
(Anxiety is used whenever the character defends against negotiation and big-complicated/confusing arguments or unexpected dangers.)
  
 
The element of Honesty is associated with the blooming earth. Its discordant opposite is Deception.

===Kindness===
 
===Kindness===
  
−
Kindness represents a character’s compassion for others and acceptance of others for who they are, as well as their care not to overstep their boundaries and impose their will over somepony else. In short, Kindness is trying to take care of others without being inconsiderate or forceful about it. While this can lead to timidity and/or pent up issues of anger, it also means that disagreements tend to be easily forgiven and resolved. A character who is kind runs the risk of being taken advantage of by others, and often is reluctant to leave their comfort zone.
+
Empathy, self-control and prudence to understand the hearts of others.
 +
(Kindness is used whenever the character attempts to defend against lies, determine intent or reduce hostility/anger.)
 +
• Ferocity: Anger, rage and intensity can hurt others, but sometimes it can break through apathy.
 +
(Ferocity is used to intimidate or defend against intimidation, as well as overcoming apathy, or increasing the danger level.)
  
 
The element of Kindness is associated with all the variants of living creatures. Its discordant opposite is Cruelty.

===Laughter===
 
===Laughter===
  
−
Laughter represents a character’s cheerfulness, positivity, and upbeat energy, as well as their ability to inspire and encourage others. While this can lead to seemingly inexplicable behavior, and can be a front for self-confidence issues, it also means that the character tends to create the positive atmosphere they most thrive in. A character who is full of laughter runs the risk of becoming unsettled if their outlook is shaken at all, and requires stability in others.
+
Love, enjoyment and an understanding of social situations can disarm even the most tense situation.
 +
(Laughter is used to distract, change the topic, or reduce the danger level.)
 +
• Suspicion: Cynicism, mistrust and skepticism can prevent positive relationships, but can also uncover the truth.
 +
(Suspicion is used to defend against trickery and attempts to gain trust.)
  
 
The element of Laughter is associated with the pristine sky. Its discordant opposite is Despair.

===Loyalty===
 
===Loyalty===
  
−
Loyalty represents a character’s willingness to choose their friends and loved ones over personal gain. While this can lead to complete reliance upon support from friends, and thus, confidence issues, it also means that they can achieve things they never thought possible in the service of their friends. A character who is loyal runs the risk of becoming dependent on the approval and even reverence of their friends and loved ones, and often goes out of their way to prove (sometimes unnecessarily) that they are valuable to those friends and loved ones.
+
Dependability, Fairness and a sense of Justice, it can keep you on the right path no matter the odds.
 +
(Loyalty is used to defend against charm and appeals to self-interest, inspiration and manipulation.)
 +
• Pride: Hubris, vanity and self-importance can cause recklessness, but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and your friends.
 +
(Pride is used to defend against distraction, changing topics, and can always be used to increase danger level.)
  
 
The element of Loyalty is associated with the steadfast mountains. Its discordant opposite is Severance.

===Magic===
 
===Magic===
  
−
Magic represents a character’s sense of wonder, worth, and specialness. In short, rather than directly referring to spellcasting and power of that nature, magic refers to a character’s ability to recognize what makes someone or something special (or magical) through their own sense of wonder at the world. While this can lead to a reluctance to show off their own specialness, or even a feeling of disconnection from other things (the feeling of being an ‘observer’ instead of interacting with the world), it also means that they often have a unique perspective on things which others lack. A character with magic runs the risk of trying to understand everything, and can suffer from a tendency to diminish their own self-worth.
+
Creativity, curiosity and perspective can help you understand new things and put a new spin on the old.
 +
(Magic is used when attempting negotiation, a big complicated/confusing argument, or when learning something new.)
 +
• Obstinacy: Stubbornness, and unyielding certainty can keep you from learning from your mistakes, but sometimes the truth needs more than one data point.
 +
(Obstinacy is used to defend against truthful, plain arguments.)
  
 
The element of Magic is associated with the shining stars. Its discordant opposite is the Void.
