Personality Type

STJ PERSONALITY (“THE LOGISTICIAN”)

My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
- George Washington


The ISTJ personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make ISTJs a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and military. People with the ISTJ personality type enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, ISTJs hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience.

ISTJs don't make many assumptions, preferring instead to analyze their surroundings, check their facts and arrive at practical courses of action. ISTJ personalities are no-nonsense, and when they've made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and take action. ISTJs have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but lose patience even more quickly if their chosen course is challenged with impractical theories, especially if they ignore key details – if challenges becomes time-consuming debates, ISTJs can become noticeably angry as deadlines tick nearer.

Strengths & Weaknesses :
Strengths

Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of the ISTJ personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to ISTJs' preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.

Strong-willed and Dutiful – ISTJs embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the ISTJ personality type meet their obligations, period.

Very Responsible – ISTJs' word is a promise, and a promise means everything. ISTJs would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for ISTJ personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they've committed themselves to.

Calm and Practical – None of their promises would mean much if ISTJs lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples' preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and ISTJs work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.

Create and Enforce Order – The primary goal of any ISTJ is to be effective in what they've chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by ISTJs. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.

Jacks-of-all-trades – Much like Analysts (NT), ISTJs are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows ISTJs to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.

Weaknesses

Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and ISTJs tend to resist any new idea that isn't supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the ISTJ personality type to accept that they were wrong about something – but anyone can miss a detail, even them.

Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, ISTJs are often hurt more sensitive types' feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. ISTJ personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.

Always by the Book – ISTJs believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave ISTJs all but paralyzed.

Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and ISTJs are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.

Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves – All this can combine to make ISTJs believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, ISTJs sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can't deliver. Since they've heaped the responsibility on themselves, ISTJs then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.


Parenting Style :
As parents, people with the ISTJ personality type are often the most comfortable. Their sense of responsibility and honor blends well with a tradition that has been in place since time immemorial: to raise one's children to be respected, contributing members of home and society. As with most commitments, ISTJs do not take their roles as parents lightly, and will make it their work to ensure that this tradition is upheld to the highest standard.
This doesn't always come easily for their children though, as ISTJs tend to be strict, with high standards and expectations. ISTJ personalities establish stable, clearly structured environments for their children, always with an eye on helping them to develop a sense of place in society, and to fulfill useful roles.


Few personality types are as practical and dedicated as ISTJs. Known for their reliability and hard work, ISTJs are good at creating and maintaining a secure and stable environment for themselves and their loved ones. ISTJs' dedication is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet ISTJs can be easily tripped up in areas where their practical and methodical approach are more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, learning to relax or improvise, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or managing their workload, ISTJs need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.

Ayatah of the Scattered Bones [Plotnotes]

As part of Riverfall's Magical Winter 515AV event, Ayatah has developed a power. For the duration of this winter, she will have little control, and even patchy awareness, of this new ability.

The Basics
This ability will stem from Aya's continued experience and feeling of being torn between her Myrian upbringing and her inherently Eypharian habits/heritage. This has typically resulted in Aya actively suppressing at least one of these, initially her Eypharian-esque desire for knowledge whilst she was being raised in the Taloban jungle, but more recently her Myrian-like desire for violence and combat. In short, she's an unbalanced young woman.

How it works
These alternate selves usually appear after a particularly lengthy or exhaustive session of Ayatah suppressing them. For example, if she was invited to a formal dinner and had been actively suppressing and hiding her Taloban upbringing, her Myrian-self will be bursting to come out and release itself.

To begin with, this ability will only manifest itself only when Ayatah is asleep. She will wake up in the morning with the vague memory of a dream. Unbeknownst to her, one of her duplicates will have been running through the streets of Riverfall, having finally been released from the earlier suppression. In the dinner-party scenario, this might include her Myrian-self running out for a late night hunt.

Over time, these dreams will become more vivid, and her other 'selves' will even start to leave notes to Ayatah to inform her of their existence... Cue confusion, self-loathing, etc etc. Eventually - not for at least two seasons should she be able to keep this ability and after many difficult lessons of self-acceptance - Aya will be able to summon one of these 'selves' on command, though they remain with her for only a bell or so.

If observed by a third party, this ability will appear as if a second Ayatah is literally stepping out of and away from the original. These alternate selves will look, feel, sound and smell like Ayatah, though to an aurist they would appear completely different.

The Selves
*The Myrian: This self is the perfect representation of Myri's people: bloodthirsty, aggressive, intimidating. This alternate Ayatah will desire physical combat, violence and other such things. She'll be hostile to others and pretty forceful to boot.

* The Eypharian: This self is far more aloof and distant than the 'real' Ayatah. She will be snobbish, as well, so expect bragging and general snootiness. When this self is out and about, Ayatah seems fixated with improving herself to the point of being obsessive.

Advantages
* Ultimately, Ayatah's ability will lead to her finally accepting her dual heritage. She will finally be able to balance her Myrian upbringing with her Eypharian-esque habits and interests.
* Should she finally become able to control this ability, Ayatah will be able to summon her alternate selves, which may help in terms of doing housework and other such tasks.

Disadvantages
* There's the social problems caused by having these other selves running around, which may implicate Ayatah in less than good ways. The Myrian self, for example, will be less than polite and the Eypharian a real stick-in-the-mud.
* For quite some time, Ayatah will have no control over what her alternate selves do. They will represent the extremes of her dual-heritage: the ideal Myrian and ideal Eypharian respectively. As such, they will act in ways quite different to Ayatah herself. Over time, however, she might be able to better control their actions.
* Identity crisis Club membership matures to platinum membership plan

Limitations
* The alternate selves are limited to the skills and lores Ayatah possesses at the time of their appearance.
* Though she may eventually remember what her other selves have been doing, skills from the duplicates cannot be shared with Ayatah. Her Eypharian self, for example, might take a sewing lesson but though Aya will remember the needles and cotton, she will be as useless at sewing as ever. Likewise her Eypharian self will be able to speak fluent Arumenic, though Aya hersef does not.
* The duplicates cannot go further than two square miles away from Ayatah. If they push this distance, they begin to flicker in and out of existence (much like ghosts).
* The ‘real’ Ayatah will suffer any damage or injuries sustained by the duplicates. The same goes for tattoos and pregnancy.
* Any items that her other selves 'step out' with (for example, if Aya is armed with her dagger, her other selves will be too), these objects disappear with her 'other self'.
* The amount of control Ayatah possesses over this ability and her duplicates is inversely correlated to the amount of time they appear. More control = will appear for only a bell or so. No control = can manifest almost all night.
