The 12 core archetypes
These describe function, not morality.
1. #Visionary — sees what could be (arrives early)
2. #Builder — creates #structure #worlds
3. #Survivor — adapts to #reality
4. #Witness — #records #truth
5. #Enforcer — maintains
order via #authority #force
6. #Operator — navigates #incentives
7. #Extracted — absorbs #system cost
8. #Crowd — #normalizes #outcomes
9. #Seer — #perceives truth #early
10. #Caretaker — #preserves #life #meaning
11. #Rebel — resists constraint
12. #Exit — chooses elsewhere, #releases #pressure
Rule: Every durable story activates 5–7 of these.
