Game and Story Use

  • May be used as a characterization handle for dictating how a particular PC or NPC behaves.
  • In humorism, this personality type is associated with the Classical Element of Earth, which might suggest ideas for any magic or powers the character might have.
  • A good match for reclusive NPCs with unconventional world views and strong mental stats, such as sages, hermits and alchemists.
  • Melancholics carry grudges, which may result in such an initially-neutral NPC becoming a recurring villain if they feel they've been wronged by the PCs.
