Chapter - Archetypes

[ Near the end of the game, we can take the various relationship values and classify Progue into one of a dozen or so archetypes, which represent a best-guess characterization of Progue based on his relationship with the player. For example, high paternalism but low submission and affinity result in the Disciplinarian, a disapproving father figure who is constantly trying to correct the behavior of the player. The archetypes are mainly used in the Confrontation and Epilogue sequences. ]
