Core Archetypes
    
The Loyalist: duty-bound, protective, leans light
The Coward: fear-driven, reactive, deserts under stress
The Seducer: emotional control, mirrors values, never deserts
The Knight: honor-based, resists corruption, may leave on betrayal
The Darth: power-seeking, manipulative, mutinous if dominant
    
  

  

    
Persona Matrix
    
- Each NPC has a percentage weight in all five archetypes
- Dominant trait defines baseline behavior
- Minor traits surface under tension or scene-specific triggers
    
  

  

    
Desertion Protocols
    
- Triggered at ≥ 85% dominance (except Seducer)
- Dialogue and outcome vary by archetype
- PC choices: Persuade, Intimidate, Duel, Let Go, Bribe
    
  

  

    
Seducer Immunity Rule
    
- Seducers never leave
- Redirect intimacy to other crew if loyalty is strained
    
  

  

    
Coward Mandatory Exit
    
- Must leave when matrix skews (≥ 85%) due to stress, trauma, or betrayal
- May return later as scavenger or broken NPC
    
  

  

    
Personality Blending
    
- Scene behavior pulls from dominant + backup traits
- Affects loyalty, romance, tension, betrayal arcs
