Family refers here to the self of the character
and how it relates to family situations by attitudes
and beliefs.
Community refers to the self of the character
and how it relates to the greater community
by attitudes and beliefs.
Loyalty: If high in family loyalty, a character is devoted
to their family.
Betrayal: Characters who exhibit betrayal are likely
to cheat on their spouse and bad-mouth their
family when not in their presence. Generally,
these characters are either disgruntled
with their families or taking them for
granted, not valuing them.
Distinction: Characters high in distinction prefer
to recognize a distinction between family and
non-family, usually feeling repulsed at the implications
of familial ambiguity (see below).
Ambiguity: To be societally unaware of a character’s
own family and to draw no distinctions
thereof, is to possess ambiguity in the sense
it is used here. Of course, breeding with
the immediate family is still disapproved
within this framework, but interplay between
cousins is approved. Moreover, it is held
that that familial ambiguity and uncertainty
will minimize bias, placing more emphasis
on the society and its problems.
Interdependence: Interdependence is when
characters enjoy the mutual dependence between
themselves and their community, usually
valuing social contact and participating
in public events.
Independence: Here, exhibiting independence in
a character’s community means that the character
prefers to avoid the community, minimizing
interaction when possible, and thus
being independent of it. Characters who
are high in independence are likely to avoid
socializing, value the privacy of their home
and/or distance themselves from others by
living rurally, etc.
Lawfulness: Regarding a character’s community,
a lawful character is one who obeys laws,
though this obedience may be the result of
respect or fear of punishment.
Criminality: Characters who have criminality do
not respect the local laws, feeling as though
they are an imposition or a hindrance. These
characters are likely to disregard established
laws.
