[QUOTE="FrozenNorth, post: 8683483, member: 7020832"] Rejected. The prompt was for different characters. The fact that the characters provided don’t meet your arbitrary criteria for personalities is irrelevant. What is more, these aren’t personalities, they are character archetypes that are resonant with the 5e lore for gnomes. The lore specifies that gnomes are highly intelligent, curious, prone to obsess about specific topics, small, mischievous, pranksters, friendly, tend towards wanderlust, use of illusion magic. Forest gnomes have in addition the traits of being reclusive, forest-dwelling, able to speak to small/burrowing animals. Rock gnomes have in addition the trait of tinkering and being good with machines. Archetype: character that gets along better with animals than humans. Examples: Newt Scamander, many westerns Resonance in lore: reclusiveness, forest-dwelling, ability to speak with burrowing animals. Archetype: user of illusion/misdirection who oozes confidence. Overlap with archetype of “small” character who compensates by sounding extra confident. Examples: Oz the Great and powerful, Loki in his live-action series. Resonance: small, intelligent, affinity for illusion magic Archetype: Witch (with added twist of having animals report back to her) Examples: too numerous to count Resonance: forest-dwelling, reclusive, intelligent, ability to speak to animals Archetype: cautious, meticulous engineer Examples: Al Giordano from Sahara, Dorfman from flight of the Phoenix Resonance: high intelligence, prone to obsession, affinity for tinkering [/QUOTE]
