Ø  Reason : This character makes its decisions and takes action on the basis of logic, never letting feelings get in the way of a rational course.

Ø  Emotion : The Emotion character responds with its feelings without thinking, whether it is angry or kind, with disregard for practicality.

Ø  Skeptic : Skeptic doubts everything, courses of action, sincerity, truth whatever.

Ø  Guardian : The Guardian is a teacher or helper who aids the Protagonist in its quest and offers a moral standard. In this way, the guardian helps the protagonist stay on the proper path to achieve success.
